Quigley dropped back to the 35-yard line for a try for a goal from place merit. The oval went wide, however, what little hope of scoring remained in the breasts of Old Penn's followers, died out.

After Pitt put the ball in play on its own 20-yard line, the local team started a steady mark to the Red and Blue goal line. Upon reaching the SI. Miller, Penn's right end. was caught slugging and expelled from the game, Toung taking his place. The Penn team was penalized half the distance to its goal line for this offense.

Valveralty of Plttsttarg Coach. The Pittsburg team played the heat game yesterday that it has played since I have been with the team. The play ere realized that the Penn team with ruincii to coa.cn tnem would be a vastly more powerful organization than tney were last year when we went to Philadelphia expecting an eaav r.n. and therefore the boys went into the game keyed up to the highest pitch of determination which made them a. much harder proposition to cope with than the overconfident team which met Penn last year.

They encountered iuat as still opposition and Just as hard a naming team as tney expected, and were forced to their limit at all stages. Pennsylvania's defense was the strongest we have met this season or last, and we could not gain ground consistently, as the Pitt team has been able to do in other big games. Coach Folwell evidently weakened his defense for forward passes by bringing un hta secondary defense rather close to the line, and this bad the effect of making it unusually hard to gain by running plays, but it enabled the Pitt team to execute several forward passes for long gains. The Jfitt team had been able to gain ground by Its running plays in the other games and therefore resorted to the passing game but little and it may have been that Penn took It for granted that Pitt was weak at the passing game. The Penn forward passes had the Pitt team worried more than anything else, and several times the Penn team came up the field for steady gains by the aerial route, only to have a pass intercepted before getting dangerously near the Pitt goal.

The Penn team took all kinds of chances with the pass even in their own territory and the Interception of some of them prob ably resulted In Pitt's last touchdown. I believe, however. It was not bad generalship on Penn's part to do this, because the forward pass was the only play that was good for considerable gains and as their running plays were stopped pretty regularly the forward paas was their only hope. STOPFEI) ituivrsiistj Ai iAuo. That the Pittsburg was able to stop Penn's running attack with the secondary defense playing far back to watch out for forward passes Indicates what a strong defensive game the Pitt line must have played.

Peck at center played the roving game, and he was an important factor In stopping Penn's plays. His playing was brilliant as It always is The Pitt sruard met the strongest op position they have ever been up against, but they rose to the occasion and often tore through trie renn una oreaaisg plays and hurrying punts and paases, snd once blocked a punt which was turned Into a Pitt touohdown by few plays. The Pitt guards war also a power in the Interference oa plays outside ot the tackles. In fact It was as good an exhibition of guard playing as I have ever seen. The Penn guards ware but little less effective than their opponents, and Henntng especially pat up a grand game.

The Pitt tackles lived amply up to their reputation and were seldom put out of a play. The and work of Herron and Carlson was as good as ever saw, and although Hastings was punting better than usual the Penn backs were never able to return a yard with the ball. Herron's work especially confirmed my opinion that be Is the beet end playing the game today. The back field work of Pitt was mora spectacular and effective than that of the Penn backfleld and Hastings and peHart lived up to their reputation of being a very hard pair to step, while McLaren, while not as successful la line plunging as usual, due to the greater opposition, was nevertheless a bard man to stop. In punting both teams were about on a par and both handled the opponents' punts faultlessly.

The Pitt backs, however, were able to run back Penn's punta for pretty -ood gains for tha reason that their interference was better and the Penn ends were not down the field as fast as were the Pitt wing men. It was a hard fought and wejl played game as I have ever seen and there was not as much difference in the playing strength of Penn and Pitt as the score would indicate. I expect to see Penn near the top of the football ladder before the season is over, while Pitt will bave an exceedingly bard task to keep up the standard of football they showed today. A Pool Round Robin. A pocket billiard round robin has been arranged for this week at the Davis parlora Six entrants are already enlisted In the contest, which will be for a cash purse.

Owing to the fact that the men are evenly matched. It Is expected that the contest will be a very lively one. Pittsburg "Famous" stogies. 2 for 5o at all first class dealers. Zeugschmldt Cigar Dlstr.

Pitt-Penn Game Statistics i i i 1v Continued from Prrrrdins Puge. It was not until the end of the first Quarter was drawing near, that Pitt was able to make its first score. With the oval on Pitt's 45-yard line, following a 13-yard penalty imposed on the Qold and Blue for holding. Hastings made a long forward pass to DeHart. who caught the ball on Penn's 30-yard, tnark.

With but one man between htm and the goal line, Andy fumbled and the ball rolled to the 25-yard mark, where Herron recovered It. By line smashes and short end runs the oval was placed on Penn's 12-yard line. Here Hastings dropped back to the and, with De-Hart holding the ball, kicked a goal from placement. BERRY'S PUNT BLOCKED. Although there was no more scoring In this quarter, the last play of the period gave the Warnerites a thrill.

Hastings punted from Pitt 37 to Williams on his own 25, where he was downed in his tracks by 'Herron. After three Ineffectual attempts to pierce Pitt's line, with little success. Berry dropped back to punt. Although the Penn fullback received the ball oh a perfect pass from the center, his kick was blocked by Sies, who came through the line like a flash. The ball rolled toward the boundary line, where it was picked up by Carlson at full speed.

With a clear field, and no Penn players close enough to stop him. It looked like a sure tally for Pitt, but the star Pitt end tripped and fell Just three yards away from the goal line, and before he could rise he was under a mass of his opponents. The first quarter came to a close at this instant. After changing places on the field, Pitt started In on its task of pushing the ball over. It was here that Penn made Its best showing of the afternoon, as only after four plunges were the Panthers able to put the ball over the line.

On the first try McLaren made one yard at center, Hastings followed with another yard at left guard. McLaren failed to gain on the third down at left tackle, but on the next try. DeHart found a small opening at Penn right tackle and managed to push the pigskin a few inches over the chalk mark for the first touchdown of the game. Hastings kicked out to McLaren the 25-yard mark and Hastings Score: Ptt. 10; Penn.

0. On the kickoft following this touchdown, Capt. Mathews was injured and forced to retire in favor of Wirkman. The Penn leader kicked to DeHart on Ills own ll-yard line who returned to the SO, where he was tackled hard and tossed out of bounds. On the next play, DeHart brought the spectators to their feet by skirting Peon's right end for a gain of 19 yards.

He followed this up a two-yard smash through left guard. Hastings was tossed for a four-yard loss by Derr and Wray when he attempted to encircle Penn's left end. McLaren ran out of bounds on Penn's 44. It was at this stage of the game that Hastings attempted to kick a goal from placement from the 50-vard AlOinmrh he missed, he was loudly cheered for ovai went Straight to th goal posts, and between them, but failed to ro over the cross har. With the second quarter about half ever, castings essayed to kick another goal from placement, and this time managed to tally on a boot from the 22-yard mark.

PEN'N FOUGHT HARD. At this stage of the frav, Penn's adherents held little hope of holding the arner macnine even, although there was no evidence of this in the work of the Red and Blue grldders. each one of whom continued to put very ounce of strength in every play. This served to prevent further scoring In the second quarter, which ended with the ball In Penn's possession cn it own 20-yard line, following another attempt at a goal from place, went by Hastings. Pitt failed to add to its tally in the third period, although threatening to do so several times.

It was in this quarter, shortly after its start, that I Berry was Injured and his place taken by Quigley. Perk was also hurt a few moments after the Penn star retired, but the Panther captain refused to leave the gridiron and had a badly cut lower jaw bandaged on the field by the team physician. The Penn players Were slow to return to the field In the second half and Referee Maxwell was forced to warn them by several shrill blasts on his whistle. Near the middle of the quarter, after the ball had been kept in midfleld most of the time. Hastings tried another goal from placement, but again the ball skirted one of the uprights of the goal post and bounded back on the field.

Miller was here substituted for Morrow at quarterback and McNulty for DeHart at right half, while for Penn, Crane was sent in at left end for Urquhart, who had played, a wonderful game for the Penn team, up to this time. Quigley threatened to become dangerous after several substantial gains through the Pitt line, but the Blue and Jold defense braced, much to the relief of the local team's followers. At the start of the fourth and last quarter, DeHart was sent back into the game for McNuly, while Morrow took Miller's place. In this period, the visitors appeared at their best, and managed to work the ball deep into the Busy This Week Snipping Pictures of tht CENTENNIAL PARADE AS3 OTHER IMPORTANT SSE8ES AMD EVENTS AKE YOU PROPERLY KQUIPPED?

28. John Harvard forgot all about 1015 this afternoon as the Harvard eleven trotted jauntily from the stadium with Cornell's scalp at Its belt. The Crimson won easily by to 0, thereby pulling the sting out of last year's defeat at the hands of the Ithacans. The Cornelllan line was battered to nothingness early, and the visitors" backfleld completed their own rout by Incessant fumbling. Eddie Casey and Horween plunged through Cornell's defense almost at will for consistent gains, Shiverlck.

Cornell quarterback, alone made three fumbles. Kddle Casey played particularly brilliant football. In the second quarter he got started oft tackle and ended up on the score side of the goal with six Cornell men hanging to him. Mlnard gobbled a fumble In the last period and carried it over for another touchdown. Harvard's first score came in the opening quarter on a field goal by Billy Robinson.

Casey smashed through for a touchdown in the third quarter, after he and Horween had carried the ball to within easy distance. nrv Cornell 0. i Coolldre I'-E Ecklev Wheeler now a rris Cadrovn Hwmtier Gillies 10 Miller -G- Carry R. o. Anderson Jewett R.K-............
