Although Carnegie Tech fell before the crushing attack of New York University Violets Saturday at Pitt Stadium, one of the hard plungers of the Tartan squad was "Dutch" Eyth. Diagram and Game In Detail on Page 8, This Section prrlal to The riltuburih Pre. LINCOLN. Neb. A desperate band of Pittsburgh Panthers pushed the Nebraska Cornhuskers against their goal line twice in the last quarter but failed to gain the coveted touchdown to end the scoreless tie before 30,000 fans here Saturday.

Entering the game as favorites, Pitt could make little gain against the Western eleven until the final minutes of play. Then the Panthers clawed their way to the Nebraska one-yard line twice within a few minutes. The final quarter opened with a passing attack by Pitt that brought the ball to the 19-yard line. Walchinus and Clark then plunked their way to the Huskers" two-yard" line. Plunges Fail Clark was given the ball for what was expected to be the final plunge but he fell short of the goal by less than a yard, and Reider lost two yards on the next play to permit the Huskers to take the ball on downs.

The Easterners were not through fighting, however, and a Nebraska fumble placed Pitt within a short distance of the goal. Hood pushed the ball to the seven-yard line and later made a first down on the three yard line. But Walchinus was thrown for a three-yard lass and again Pitt was denied victory. A warm, bright sun brought weather that was almost too warm for football and It had some effect on the players. Flace Kick Is Low In the first half, the Huskers had a slight advantage over the Panthers, but neither team had an advantage In the third quarter.

In the second period. Baker's place kick from the Nebraska 30-yard line was low and Pitt passed up its first chance for a score. Pittsburgh made 11 first downs to six for Nebraska, and the Panthers gained 149 yards in scrimmage compared to 85 for the Huskers. Pitt's completed five of 18 passes attempted for 92 yards while the Huskers completed three of eight attempted to gain 61 yards. The lineup: hratka (I.

When the sun disappeared over the rim of the big bowl, it was discovered that, instead of picking any flowers, the Tartans had been well nlucked ft themselves, to the tune of 20 to 7. There wasn't much glory (or the Plaid Saturday, but Western Pennsylvania wasn't without a big part in the triumph of the Easterners. A trio of Allegheny County boys played a mighty part in spoiling the day for the Schenley Parkers. In the Meehan backfleld were Joe and Herman LaMark, brothers who graduated from Coraopolis Mati School, and then went East for higher education and gridiron laurels'. Joe Scores Twice Joe was the best scorer of the day, being credited with two of the Violet touchdowns.

He was aided and abetted by Brother Herman, who held down the fullback post, while Joe served as field general and ball toter extraordinary. Ernest Vavra, elongated Turtle Creek High boy. who lives at Universal and puts in his summers showing Western Pennsylvanians how good he is as a baseball player, was at left tackle for the New Yorkers, but he was here, there and everywhere on the field. His defensive play was a treat. When the Violets had the ball he did his part In opening holes for the backs to get through.

Large delegations of Coraopolis and Turtle Creek Valley fans were at the game, and they had a good time, even though they wanted to see Carnegie win. The outstanding performer for New York, however, was Bob Namara. left halfback, who seemed to be able to pierce the Tartan line at will, finding holes off tarkle ami inside guard, which seldom failed to net gains. Ropters Go Wild The game goes into the records as another upset of the grid dope bucket. The Tartans were pre-game favorites, but not by a large margin.

The contest was regarded as pretty much an "Even-Stephen" affair, but the Tartans found themselves up against a tougher proposition than they anticipated and were beaten. Two special trains brought a big band of Violet rooters to Pittsburgh Saturday morning and they had the time of their lives In the afternoon. They made the field ring with their shouts whenever the Violets scored, and after the game was over, they rushed out to grab souvenirs. They removed a number of the yard-line markers and then, as their band went out on the field to play a victory march, they rushed the goal posts, and tried to tear them down. Police Take Hand Brave Pittsburgh coppers interfered with their, plans, and swung maces with telling if not serious effect.

Balked at the east goal, the crowd ran to the other one, where a lone bluecoat stood guard with drawn nightstick. He pointed it at the ringleaders, and warned them if they wanted to get back to Gotham with whole heads, they would be wise to go Continued on Page 4, This Section By FRANK GETTY t'nited Press Staff Writer .1 l1 4 If! to If) Si is.i fJ3 i i Team Ties Harvard Little Virginia Eleven Scares Big Crimson Team by Swift Attack K.t The Tinted Tresa CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Little William and Mary from Williamsburg, held Harvard's Crimson varsity to a 13-13 tie Saturday. Crickard, Harvard right halfback, caught a lateral pass from Mays on his own 17 and dashed 83 yards for a touchdown. Mays' kick for extra point failed.

William and Mary gained a 7-6 lead when a forward pass, Halligan to Maxey, inside the Harvard 20-yard line, netted a touchdown and Mozeleski booted the extra point. Harvard had the ball on the William and Mary 22-yard line as the period ended. The first quarter ended Harvard 6, William and Mary 7. Three times Harvard marched down the field and threatened the rival goal line, but was repulsed. Though much lighter than the Crim son, the William and Mary eleven proved fast and scrappy.

After four Harvard regulars had been substituted Halligan intercepted a lateral pass, White to Wood, and ran about 25 yards for William and Mary's second touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. William and Mary intercepted another Crimson pass on Harvard's 36-yard line as the second period ended with the score Harvard 6, William and Mary 13. Play centered 'In the midfield sector most of the third quarter, with William and Mary flashing a heads-up brand of football that prevented Harvard from seriously menacing their goal line. The Crimson made a few fairly substantial gains, but the Virginia line was sturdy and Harvard overhead game was punctured by repeated interceptions.

William and Mary had the ball on their own 34-yard line as the period ended. Score Harvard, William and Mary, 13.

Knute Rockne's regulars, victors in four In-tersectional tilts, were called into play in the second quarter yesterday to defeat a stubborn Indiana eleven by the score of 27 to 0. The Hoosiers, opening the game against the Notre Dame "Shock Troops, displayed unexpected Strength, and held Knute Rockne's team scoreless until the third Rockne nor the 15,000 half-chilled fans In the new bowl ever doubted but what Indiana could be put to rout, but Notre Dame wanted to try the mettle of its reserve forces.

They found Indiana too good for that kind of competition. After sending in his regulars to warm up in the second quarter, Rockne turned them loose at the start of the second half, and in less than 30 minutes, Carideo, Schwartz, Brill and Savoldl had ripped and slashed through the weakening and bewildered Hoosier line for four touchdowns. "Jumping Loose Before the third period was five minutes old, Savoldi ran through a hole in left tackle for 35 yards and a touchdown. Carideo added the extra point. A few minutes later, after an exchange of punts, Rockne's ball-carrying stars picked up 40 yards in spectacular dashes, and then Schwartz turned the right end for 30 yards to score.

Again Carideo added the extra point. Indiana interference with Carl-deo's punt early In the fourth period gave the Irish another chance and Brill broke Ioose for 33 yards to score, his interference mowing down the Crimson secondary.

Fordham again was on the defense soon afterward when the Mountaineers missed a first down by inches at the 6-yard mark, in the fourth quarter. Tracey's safety for his team followed soon afterward.

Booth played throughout the entire game for the first time in his collegiate career, and was the outstanding star of the game, but he had close rivals in Morton and "Wild Bill" McCall. who went Into the fray toward the close of the contest. 51,000 Thrilled In a perfect October setting, a throng of 51,000 thrilled to the changing tide of battle as first one team and then the other attacked, or held stubbornly for downs. Time after time the ball changed hands on downs as a result of the sterling defensive play which was maintained through all four periods by both sides. What started out to be a kicking duel resolved itself Into a fiercely, but clean fought exchange of thrusts at the contending lines, both quarterbacks gambling upon a sustained offensive rather than resorting to punts, and both lines holding gamely and successfully.

There were thrills galore from the opening kickoff which Booth carried back 20 yards through half the Dartmouth team, until the final play of the game. A try for a drop kick by McCall which Just missed the Eli goal posts in the twilight. Fails to Count Had it not been for an alert official who observed holding in the Yale line. Booth would have scored a touchdown in the second quarter. Actually he scampered 32 yards to cross the last white line, but the play was called off.

Dartmouth several times was hammering at the Eli goal, only to run into one of those characteristically stubborn bulldog defenses. The Hanover aerial attack was broken up time after time, although three forward passes out of the 15 tried by the Green gained a total of 88 yards. On the other hand Dartmouth's Continued on Page 3 This Section Special to The Pittfthurtch Freaa NEW YORK West Virginia University failed to stop Fordham's veteran team here Saturday in its continued successes against eastern teams, but did break the great scoring defensive record of the Rams through a registered safety. Ford-ham won, 18 to 2. The Mountaineers were able to make 16 first downs against the powerful Ram machine, and threatened to score on -numerous occasions.

One march was halted when a Mountaineer back fumbled a pass over the goal line. Two other rushes into the scoring zone were halted by intercepted passes. The West Virginia score came when Tracey fumbled a pass for a punt from behind his goal line and was downed with the ball. After Long: March Fordham scored about the middle of the first period after a march of 60 yards. Again in the second quarter Fordham secured a touchdown after a march that began on its own seven-yard mark.

A penalty against the Mountaineers helped at the start of this advance, and when the Mountaineer defense stiffened about the West Virginia 30-yard line, a partially blocked forward pass in the fourth down, bounded from a West Virginia lineman into McMahan's hands on the 24-yard line for a first crown for Fordham. Instead of being held for downs the Fordham machine spurted through two first downs on the Mountaineer mark, from which point McMahan cut through the line for the second touchdown. Fordham threatened early in the third period, and lost the ball on a fumble on the West Virginia 24-yard line. Again on the West Virginia 13, the Mountaineers stopped the Rams, and took the ball on downs. West Virginia advanced from this point to the Fordham 18-yard line before losing on an intercepted pass.
