It was the speed of "Doggo" Burns, sensational halfback, that again accounted in a large measure for the Duke victory.

Burns was aided in hfs efforts by Capt. "Buff" Donelli, who acquitted himself quite nobly in his dashes around the Albion terminals. The Bluffite leaders accounted for the initial Duke touchdown, after the second-string eleven, started the game and played for the greater part of the first quarter, failed in its attempt to make any serious inroads into the visitors' territory. In again rising to the ranks of prime favorites to cop title honors, as well as the major share of coin, the Mackmen displayed a tenacity of purpose that could not be denied. They strove manfully to overcome sn appalling lead the Bruins piled up about the middle of the game, and one bold thrust in the seventh Inning brought them success.

The Mackian rally that sent fans who watched the game into paroxysms of delight and enthusiasm came in the seventh inning and was more than vigorous enough to shift the flow of defeat to a tidal wave of victory. In that frame the most vicious offensive in world series history brought them 10 runs to surpass the total amassed by the Cubs in three previous stanzas. BALLS LOST IN SUN. By MAX E. HANNUM, Press Football Writer.

Facing their first major foe of the 1929 season, Pitt's Golden Panthers met the test in a most convincing fashion. Ira Rodgers' West Virginia Mountaineers, battling gamely through four periods of hectic football, held the Pitt total down to 27 points and scored a touchdown of their own, but were never equal to the task of stopping the running drive of Sutherland's rapidly developing team. The score was 27 to 7, and almost 30JO0O spectators sat in the comfort of a balmly afternoon to watch the Panther rip and roar. UANSA LEADS. Again led by Toby Uansa, the Mc -Kees Rocks whirlwind, who supplied most of the offensive thrills, and "Pug" Parkinson, pride of California, who battered a capable West Virginia line in one of his best individual displays, Pitt needec! nothing but a running game to turr.

the Mountaineers back. Rodgers' men were primed for a fight, but they were on the defensive almost constantly. They manfully met the Panthers' best assaults in the first period, held them back with great courage, and only wilted under the tremendous power oi their adversaries gradually. Pitt i a 'i. REGULARS SCORE EARLY.

I Lay den rushed his regular lineup into the fray just before the end of or 0 iiiiiliiiii the first period, and they began immediately to march towards their first score. Silverstein started the parade by intercepting an Albion forward pass, to give the Dukes the ball on the Duke 40. Donelli on two end runs picked up 30 yards, and Benedict added 14 to place the baU on the enemy 16-yard line as the period ended. Two plays with Donelli and Ko-valcheck carrying the ball made 8 yards, and the Dukes resorted to their highly touted aerial attack for the score and it worked. McCarthy Although the powerful clubbing of the Mackmen played in undeniable part in bringing victory to the American League colors for the thirteenth time in 14 title starts against National League adversaries, there is no discounting the fact that the Cubs suffered through natural causes.

A strong sun that shone directly into the eyes of the outfielders gave the locals the break they needed to romp in victorious. "Hack" Wilson, squat center-fielder of the invading forces, lost two fly balls in the glare of Old Sol in the fatal seventh. Those mis-judgments, or whatever they may be called, came at a time when they could do most damage to the Chicago cause. Had fielding been perfect in the bracket, the A's would have come nowhere near tying up the score. Thus the powerful "Hack" at this Continued on Next Tage.

PASS IS SUCCESSFUL. West Virginia's tally came like a bolt from the blue, and was the result of one of their few successful forward passes. Bill Behnke had the honor of crosng the Panther goal line, and he observed his success, for he made a beautiful catch of Stumpp's long fling. The Mountaineer toucllown was a fitting reward for a hard-fighting, dead-game football team.
