One fluke touchdown by Hastings, another one of the same brand, although not quite so pronounced, by Miller, and a real touchdown by Heil, two goals from touchdown by Fry and one by Hastings was the net result of the efforts of Coach Duff's University of Pittsburg eleven at Forbes Field yesterday afternoon against the Georgetown aggregation.

His work both on the offense and on the defense was above the average. Several times he nailed one of the enemy when it looked as if he might be able to break through for a long run. His punting, except on one or two occasions, was of a high order. He sent long, high spirals down the field which were very hard for the opposition to handle, and also gave the Pitt ends plenty of time to get down under the punt and cover up the man who was to get It. FUMBLIN GMARRED BATTLE.

Hockensmith played a strong game in the line for the locals. This big boy can play football when he wants to and the last two weeks he has been feeling like playing. There was very little that got past him yesterday. He seemed to be full of fight and was up on his toes on every play. Fumbling by both sides marred the battle, although Pitt was the worst offender In this respect.

UeHart was away off form in running back punts, as he not only could not run them back but many times could not even handle them well. He -became so poor toward the close of the battle that his presence in the Pitt lineup was a menace to the team, so Duff jerked him out and sent in Heil. Heil was later injured and DeHart came back in the contest. The end-run a. which DeHart showed such good form a week ago, failed to net him much against Georgetown, as he was spilled almost every time before he could get up much speed.

Hastings made a beautiful try for a field goal in the last period. Standing on the Georgetown 40-yard line, he made a great drop kick, the ball falling short by inches from going over the bars for a score. He was given a great hand from the crowd for his attempt. The visitors tried three times for field goals but failed every chance. Just before the end of the game, Noark tried to make a goal from placement from the 30-yard line, but made a poor kick.

Georgetown had made a fair catch and this entitled them to a free kick, Noark had all the chance in the world to make the score, but his boot was low and did not ALL i VV AW TTV mvr' Ms- MA lit iPl' rar 1 'iiit lit II V' Jl-tvvi -w pulled a real surprise by keeping the ball in Pitt's territory for the greater portion of the playing period. The final count of the battle was. Pitt 21, Georgetown 0, but the game was much closer than the score would seem to indicate. The contest was a Ions' one, one thing and another stretching it out to a period covering over two hours. Numerous protests, Injuries and various other little details all went to make the game a tiresome one to look at, and the fact that XUtt was showing nothing to brag about did not tend to enliven, the do-iners to any extent.

Early in the opening quarter Georgetown got the ball on their own 38-vard line via a punt from Hastings. ami HI reach the goal posts. PITT NOT IMPROVING. All In all, Pitt did not show any better form, yesterday than against the Indians a week ago. There will have to be a big brace in the playing of the Blue and Gold if they want to make even a respectable showing against the Red and Black on Nov.

Even the most ardent admirer of the local team had to fidget in his seat when the result of the Wash-Jeff-Yale game is the price at Pickering came in, showing that the Red and Black had won the battle.

Murray made five yards and then on the next play came a break in the game that enabled the Blue and Gold to put over their first touchdown. Kelly started up the field with the ball for Georgetown, but fumbled. "Red" Hastings, former hero of Kiski school, nailed the elusive pigskin and executed a clever run of some 43 yards, not stopping until he touched the ball down directly behind the goal posts.

Then Just to show that he was versatile, he kicked the goal from touchdown and Pitt was in the lead by the score of 70. PITT SCORES AGAIN. This ended the scoring for the first period and also for the second, the Blue and Gold warriors having all they could do to keep the visitors In check, to say nothing of making a few more points. But in the third period they added seven more points on another touchdown and a goal from touchdown. A blocked kick and a recovery of the same by Morrow gave Pitt the ball about midfield toward the end of the third quarter.

On the first play after this, Heil was sent through right tarkle and got away for a run of 47 yards for the second touchdown of the game. Fry stepped back and sent the ball between the post for the seventh point, making the score Pitt 14, Georgetown 0. The final score of the game was made In the last quarter and was registered by Miller, the speedy backfleld performer for the Blue and Gold, when he intercepted a forward pass from the Georgetown quarter and went racfng tip the field. 60 yards for a touchdown. Fry again kicked the goal.

Georgetown had the ball In Pltt'a danger zone on several occasions, but they lacked the punch to send It over the line, or were set back for an infraction of the rules. Peck, Hell.

He Is still hoping that he will bo able to tako part in the big gamo of the year, but It is doubtful if ho will bo of much use to the team during the rest of the season. Had Williamson, been in tho contest yesterday he might have been able to put a little more life and fire into tho fight. Dillon was In the game for awhile and was both good and bad. Sometimes he ploughed through a hole and at other times failed to make good. Towards the last of tho game, ho started an argument with one of the visiting players and Duff, seeing that blows might soon be exchanged took Dillon out of the game.

LACK OF CONCENTRATION. There was a lack of concentrated effort plainly evident In the work of the Pitt team and this fault must bo rectified at onco if progress Is to be made.

The Tech student band furnished tho music and the cheer leaders kept the students busy all afternoon. Between the halves almost 2,660 students participated in the field parade which teminated with the forming of a huge in the center of the gridiron, from which formation the surrounding hills were made to ring with the Tech cheers and songs. The entire Tech team, with the exception of McDowell, second string quarter back, showed a fine advantage. Their team work is near perfection and the bewildering formations taught them by Stagg's former protege, are hard to fathom.

As usual, lltle Kes-ner at quarterback was the particular star. He knows what to do at the proper time, and the way he asserts the plays keeps the opposition guessing all the time. Kesner is really a sensation. He is not only a wonderful field general, but is the best ground gainer on the Tech eleven. Late in the game Kesner was replaced by McDowell, who failed to fchow anything sensational.

McDowell seemed flustered and right after his entrance to the game Tech was thrown for several losses which resulted the ball going to Grove City. Steffen's biggest job seems to be that of developing a second string quarterback that can replace Kesner when necessary.
