SPORTING SECTION PAGES ONE TO EIGHT PITTSBURG, PA SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 1914 PAGES ONE TO EIGHT TI.E sporting news -1 Coach Steff en's Carnegie Tech Lads Make a Fine Showing Against Their Heavier Blue and Gold Opponents For your present requirements, or 11 with the Tech lads the winners, for they outplayed the Blue and Gold at many points, but much of their effort went for naught on account of their lierht line and backfield. PHIL DILLON STARTED. When the game started Dillon was one of the backs for Pitt In place of Hastings, but before the game was over De Hart took his place and made a good showing. Reese was at Smith's place at guard and Jones was playing at Thornhill's position. Pitt made several important substitutions in the last period in the hope of sending over another touchdown, but they failed.

One of the big surprises of the afternoon was when Williamson came on the field just before the end of the battle and took Ward's place at quarter. Ward having relieved Hall a few minutes before. "Chalky" was given a great ovation from- the crowd when he went into the battle. He had little to do in the time that was left. He ran with the ball, once and made about a yard, while he made two long forward passes, neither of which, however, were valuable, as the players at the other end for beautifying the home for Thanksgiving and the Xmas holidays, here is exactly the new furniture you want at amazingly low prices and on your own terms! By L.

G. Boggs. Intercepted forward pass and a rumble, were the main reasons for the defeat, of Carnegie Tech at the hands of the Pitt eleven at Forbes Field yesterday in RRme which was close and hard fought, and which kept the rather small crowd on edge during the entire playing time. Thn final count was 14-0, but considering the fact that Tech is a far light-r team than Pitt, and was thus under of the line failed to connect.

and will be able to take part In the State game has given the Pitt students new hope and confidence for the struggle with Hollenback's warriors. One of the big- feature of the battle was the cheering contest between the two Institutions between the halves. Tech has cheering perfected to a point a little in advance of Pitt and this was shown in the singing and yelling. One of the Tech cheerleaders. Merrill by name, became so excited during the contest that he collapsed and had to be carried from the field.

It was 10 minutes before he could be brought around in the dressing room, and he spent the rest of the afternoon sitting-one the sidelines, with a big blanket wrapped around him. Pitt was penalized considerably for holding. This is a defect that has never been properly patched up since the start of the season. If Pitt loses as much ground for holding against State as she lost yesterday, her chances for victorv will be materially lessened. KESNER MAKES LONG RUN.

Perhaps the most spectacular play of the day, outside of the run by Peck for a touchdown, was made by Kes-in the last period. With the ball on the 47-yard line of Pitt Kesner, went around the right end of Pitt's line on the delayed pass play for a distance that put the ball on the 20 yard mark. Kesner was swift as lightning on this play andltept ducking one Pitt player after another until it looked as if he would get away for a touchdown. With the last Pitt men in front of him he was brought to earth. Just after this exhibition the gritty little quarter gave another exhibition of nerve and head work.

He tried a placement kick and the ball was blocked, but he recovered the pigskin of Pitt's 25-yard line. Not daunted by his failure of a second before, he took the Pitt men off their feet by trying for another goal from field and just missed it by the narrowest possible margin. Neither Capt. Smith nor "Red" Hastings was in uniform. Smith still has his leg In a plaster cast and it is doubtful if he will be able to take part in the State game.

He was on crutches yesterday and stated that he feared he could not be able to take part in the contest. Coach Steffen stated after the game that he was well pleased with, the Trade Sale Price for This $35.00 great nancucap the score, low as It was, does not do Justice to the re-jnarkably game exhibition of football displayed by Coach Steffen's players. Capt. McCaughey was out of the game for Tech. He had a muscle bruised In the game last week and the swelling refused to be reduced ttnd it was found-necessary to operate.

The defense of the Tech team was a surprise to the Pitt men. Four times during the game Pitt was held for downs. Kesner and Fry engaged in a punting duel and both men were In fine form, although Kesner had a Blight edge. PITT NOT AT HER BEST. Pitt did not look like the same team that made things so lively for Wash-Jeff last Saturday, and in fact it was not the same' team, for there were several substitutes working at the start of the game.

It could not be expected that the Pitt players would be worked up to as fine a point for the game with Tech as they were for the great clash with the Red and Black. If the local eleven can gradually work back Into top-notch form for the contest with State on Thanksgiving day, the fans will be only too glad to overlook any mistakes made yesterday. Pitt scored Its first touchdown in the opening period. The ball had seesawed up and down the field for nearly the entire quarter. An exchange of punts gave Pitt the ball on her own SO-yard line.

On the next play Miller fumbled and It was Tech's ball on the 25-yard line. Kesner attempted to hit the line, but was thrown for a loss. On the next play Kesner tried a forward pass and Peck Intercepted It on Pitt's 25-yard line and ran 75 yards for a touchdown. Hell kicked the ball out to Fry and Fry then kicked the goal, making the count 7-0 for the Blue and Gold. FRY MAKES SECOND SCORE.

This was all the scoring until the third period. About the middle of this quarter Fry tried for a field goal from the 80-yard "and missed the goal. It was then Tech's ball on her own 20-yard line. After a couple of plays through the line, Marshall fumbled and Soppltt recovered and took the ball to the 10-yard line before he was downed. Miller hit the line for four yards.

On the next play Fry was literally pushed over the line for a touchdown. He kicked the goal. i This was the extent of the scoring for the day, although Tech came close to putting over a field goal in the last quarter. Kesner tried the placement klok from 25-yard line and the ball hit fhe posts and fell on the outside rather than on the Inside of the uprights, thus saving Pitt from being ooored upon. It was- certainly a hard break for the Techltes.
