Pitt was forced to battle hard for every yard gained on that slippery, muddy, slimy field and it was not until the final whistle blew that Dick Harlow's men called a halt. They fought valiantly and gamely to the end. Sometime and some place, perhaps a football game like that of yesterday will be staged, but I fear we will have to wait a long time. It was one of the greatest contests played on any grid-Iron. Pitt had every reason in the world to win that football game and the added epur, or incentive, call it what you will, came before the kickorf wheu it was announced that Colgate had defeated Brown by the score of "lis to 0.

The result of the battle in the Far East placed the Smoketown eleven in a commanding position to claim the cham pionship and they went into the game to make it unanimous. They lost no time in rushing the ball down the field and placing it in a position for Andy Hastings to boot his first field goal and then followed with a few touchdowns and another field goal, just to make it safe. Penn State, however, bitterly contested every line plunge and end run, spilling plays by making brilliant tackles and plugging up the Army's Claims Laughable.

Wilkinsburg and Greensburg Claims. A GREENSBURG man has sent in the following communication: "Will you kindly settle the following argument between two Wilkinsburg and Greensburg High school fans: A argues that the tie score between Greensburg and Connellsville would -not eliminate' Greensburg from being among those disputing Wilkinsburg's claim to supremacy. A claims that Greensbursr has nlaved and defeated reams much stronger than those played by Wilkinsburg, for example. By Ralph S.

Davis. The football season of 1916 is now history and it is glorious history, eo far as Glenn Warner's University or Pittsburp Panthers are concerned. The Blue and Oold team wound tip St campaign yeserday at Forbes Field, defeating Pennsylvania State by the decisive score of to 0. At the same time Brown was defeated by the count of 2.3 to 0 at the hands of Colgate, thus giving Pitt undisputed right to the intercollegiate football championship of i he world. Had Brown won yesterday, the title would have been in dispute, and there would have been numerous arguments over the matter, but.

as it is. Pitt reigns suprefne. arid her greatness cannot be gainsaid. The Panthers hive wound up their Feoond campaign under the coachship of Glenn Warner, and hay not suffered defeat since he took charge of them. Their greatness is admitted by scribes and critics everywhere, for throughout i lie autumn they have been" giving exhibitions of wonderful, progressive tootball such as we-e witnessed from no other team in the country.

Great as has been Pitt's success, and "varied as have been her methods of piling- up victories, it is said on good authority that the squad had at least five plays! in its repertoire which it was never, called upon to use plays that were' dead-sure ground gainers, and which were considered so original and puzzling- that 'TSarner issued instructions that thy should not be brought into use except under specific orders and in the' last emergency. othrs.

There Is no doubt about Pittsburg's claim to the championship. In fact, they don't even have to claim it. It will be handed out to the men who were taught the game by Glenn Warner, on a silver platter, regardless of the intermittent howls emanating from West Point for recognition. Pitt has many arguments jto back her claim, the first being a clean slate for two yearB. and the other arguments can be forgotten after that.

He declared Pitt could tear the Army line- into shreds and the defense was strong enough to stop Oliphant and Vidal.

Peck is a better man than McEwan, and to make things certain, this expert aid that Warner would work up a special system of offense which could not be stopped. That seems to put a quietus on the championship aspirations of our standing army. PECK WAS AT HIS BEST. "Peck played the greatest game of hla career against State. He was all over the field, tackled at the ends of the line, broke through and hurried the plays, and in addition to that was a capable leader.

Peck was stunned early in the first period and did not know what was happening until the second half started. His team mates urged him to leave the game, but he refused. Incidentally, that was the reason why the Pitt plays went off so slowly in the first half. Jimmy DeHart would give the signal, and then exr plain it to Peck. At the start, a prize "bonehead" play was narrowly averted when State kicked off.

The ball went high, but the kick -was short. Seidel made no attempt tocatch the pigskin and it hit the ground just a few yards away from the onrushing State players. It looked as if State would get the ball and pull the same stunt as did Yale against Princeton, but George McLaren kept his head, ran forward and grabbed the ball on the bound, just' in time. Had State recovered the oval at this juncture, there is no telling' what would have happened. McLaren lived up to his reputation as a wonderful line plunger, by carrying the ballcnost of the time through the line, the State men finding it difficult to stop him before he had gained several yards.

The fullback would squirm several yards further after he apparently was stopped and it was his work that. saved the day in the opening moments. HE'LL BEAT PRYEL Cam. aMM fcgnt victims. The Navy game was close, but the men had played, but one game before that, had been delayed in reaching Annapolis and were in no condition to' work in a hard battle.

They really were lucky to win by the slender margin of one point. WARNER IS GREATEST EVER. But in all of the games save this one Pitt outclassed her opponents In all departments. Syracuse was helpless. Penn did not have a chance after the first few minutes of play.

W. J. could not score, and you know the story of the State game. The eleven made a brilliant record a record which would have given it the championship whether Brown lost or not. The players know more football than any other team- playing today, and Glenn S.Warner is the greatest coach that ever had charge of a football team.

This statement is not due to excessive enthusiasm, or anything like that. It comes after a close study of the coaching, methods of the leading gridiron tutors of the country in the pats 30 years. I believe Warner is In a class by. himself and outshines Bob Folwell, Percy Haughton, Tad Jones, Frank Cavanaugh, Alonzo Stagg and all the others. For any further look up the records of the Carlisle Indians and- the University of Pittsburg.

There was never a "last emergency" With the Pittites. They were never extended.

liven in the Navy game, which they captured by only a single point, their superiority was evident all the time, the closeness of the score being- due to the fact that the team play had not yet been perfected, and that several of the players were guilty of costly fumbles which helped their It has been said that the Army, which went through the season undefeated, may dispute Pitt's claim to the title, because the West Pointers made a. better showing against the Navv than did Pitt, but their claims will not receive any consideration in the minds of fair critics. Had Pitt played the Navy on the same Saturday that the Army did, the chances are that Warners men would have piled up 40 points. Yesterday's game was a true exposition of Pitt's greatness. It was a wonderful attack and a wonderful defense which won for the Blue and Gold, baffling the Center countians at practically every Ktage of the combat.

Pitt outrushed. outran, oiitpunted. out-forward-passed State, and excelled in every department of the game. Uven in the matter of gamer.ess, the locals appeared best, for one or two of the State lads, seeing defeat staring them in the face, resorted to tactics which vera reprehensible in the extreme. One of them, Oubbage, was guiltv of unnecessary roughness, and a fist tight between him and his victim, the popular Jimmie was narrowly averted.

DeHart was severely hurt later in thn same, and forced to retire. He was rendered unconscious in a scrimmage and had to bo assisted off the field A report went the rounds that he had been seriously hurt, but this was untrue Jimmie was feeling a bit stiff and sore this morning, but sf.ld he was "fine and dandy."

The lccals simply ran all over their opponents in the first half. Whatever Coach- Harlow said to his men during the intermission must have had some tttect, for they returned to the field, and fought like demons in a hopeless cause.

Their tackling was much fiercer, their playing much surer in the second half, but the Pitt scoring machine was not to be denied. The Pitt backfield starred throughout the game. Hastings and DeHart made some fine end runs, as did Gougler when he got into the game after DeHart was hurt. McLaren's line plunging was sensational, and Morrow's all-around work stood out forcibly. The generalship of the Pitt team was an improvement over anything shown here this year.

Dellart's tactics in running the team left nothing to be desired. Jimmie had been specially tutored ever, since the Tech game by Coach Warner, and ho had learned his lesson well. He outgeneraled State at almost every turn, pulling unexpected plays in a manner which made them sure ground gainers, and time and again baflled the State defense. HASTINGS' GREAT RUN.

He darted through tackle, and let out his speed down the field. Ahead of him were four State men. He sidestepped two Oi them, and then slowed up until Carlson had caught up with him and had taken off one of the remaining opponents.

Then he steamed up again, and, as Morrow took off the remaining opponent, continued on his way over the goal line. It was a lon-run under trying conditions, and a show of horse sense which marked Hastings as a truly great gridiron hero. The defeat was the worst ever handed a State team by a Pitt eleven.
