The final score was 20 to 0. On a dry field, it would probably have been twice as large in Pitt's favor.

Battling in the rain and the nuid, under conditions which were supposed to favor the invaders in a.ge measure, the Panthers rode roughshod over "Tubby" Mclntire's boys, outplaying them at every stage of the game. There was only one surprising feature to the contest, and that wa the ease with which Pitt triumphed. Everybody expected a great battle a. real fight, with the Mountaineers Just as likely to win as the locals. To that extent, they wer disap a a- 1 a.

Pitt won yesterday, not because she had a great football team great in the sense that, each Individual on it stood out above his rival but fce- cause she had a team that was won't ierfully and perfectly prepared for I the task at hand. The rain and the mud made no difference to the Panthers. They ploughed through the slime and the water as if they loved it.

They fumbled, to be sure, but they had been taught what to do in such cases, and -they recovered most of their wn fumbles, and many that were made by the West Virginians. Their backfleld did all that was expected of it. The inimitable Tom Davies starred as he did under all conditions last season. If -an individual star Is to be picked out. the honors perhaps ought to go to the young Kiskl lad, for he certainly covered' himself with glory, not only at tunning with the ball, but at recovering fumbles and thus protecting his 'mates.

Andy Hastings, Jim Morrow and Capt. Iehart were fine running mates for him, although Hastings did not appear to find himself until the second half. went into the game under a handicap, and did not last through the first half, his injured knee asserting itself, and forcing him the sidelines. The Pitt line showed unexpected strength. The West Virginia team was outclassed, but there was one member It who stood out pre-eminent, and that was Capt.

Ira the full-Back Rodgers was almost a whole team In himself, and what gains were made by the Mountaineers were largely contributed by him. He was the Mountaineers' chief ground gainer, and It would have been interesting to watch him on a dry field, Just as it would have been great to see Davies, Dehart, and Hastings on a hard, dry surface: FIELD IS A. QUAGMIRE. The field was a regular quagmire. It was drizzling when the game started, and It was pouring before it was five minutes old.

Thereafter it poured almost continually. The players had lined up but a few moments when it was almost impossible to distinguish them. Every few moments play was suspended while the friendly refereeMr. "Tiny" Maxwell, of Ewarthmore memory generously dug great gobs of sticky mud out of the eyes of the contending athletes. Mr.

Maxwell had a busy afternoon ef It. When the athetes could not And anything else on which to wipe their begrimed hands, they chose the alluring front of "Tlny's" sweater, aad Bob never uttered a protest. In spite of the awful weather, the crowd was a real hummer. It was stimated that fully 20,000 persona were at the game, and there would and Pitt recovered. He a train tried to kick, and the kick was blocked, but Jjavies recovered.

Tom then went 15 yards around right end on the same trick play that Maxwell had refused to allow the first time it was tried. The Pitt backs then assaulted the West Virginia line for fair gains, and finally Hastings went over for the first touchdown. The punt-out failed, and the score was: Pitt 6, West Virfrinia 0. Pitt kicked off and soon had the ball on downs. However, the quarter ended without any further scoring.

In the second the ball seesawed up and down the field, with the advantage resting largely with the Panthers. However, there were numerous fumbles, and there was no more scoring. DAVIES SLIDES ACROSS. In the second half Pitt kicked, off. West Virginia could not gain, and punted to Davies on Pitt's 2S-yard line.

Dehart mads 20 yards around left end, but was called back after a pretty run. Hastings punted after another scrimmage, and when a West Virginia man fumbled, Davies grabbed the ball on the 30-yard line and set sail for the goal. He was tackled within a few yards of the line, but managed to slide across for another touchdown. Hastings a difficult goal, and the score was: Pitt 13, West Virginia 0. Hastings kicked off for Pitt to Rodgers, who ran back to his own 42-yard line, A.

fumble gave Pitt the ball again, and once more it changed hands several times on kicks and fumbles. Finally Hastings kicked to West Virginia's six-yard line. The ball was touched, in its flight by West Virginian, putting the Panthers on side, and Pitt recovered the kick. After two or three attempts at the tine, a forward pass, Hastings to Davies, resulted in another touchdown. Hastings failed to- klckf the goal, and the score was: Pitt 19, West Virginia 0.

The score came jjtjst' before 'tie third period ended. In the fourth quarter the locals scored- another The period opened Just after Hastings had kicked off, and the Panthers -started a march down the field for the most consistent grains of the afternoon. They made four consecutive first downs, during which they carried the ball 42 yards putting the ball on the MountaIneer8: ight-yard mark. Hastings then plunged through left, tackle for a touchdown, making the score 26-0 The lineup: Pitt. Weit Virginia.
