Only Dick Booth could do much with that side of the line, and most of his was done inside Douds and through big Frank Pauley, whom and helpers were moving out of the way with seeming ease at times However, if Welch failed to shine as bright as had been expected, Amos' efforts in comparison were pitiful-Welch played an average halfback's game yes, even at little better than the average, but Amos was far below expectations.

His ninning efforts were largely confined to the center of the line and Pitt's smaller forwards usually stopped him dead. His passing was long and accurate, but it didn't mean a thing as he completed two of seven and they did no harm. AERIAL ATTACK FUTILE. In fact, the breakdown in the aerial games of both teams probably prevented any scoring. Pitt was lavish in her use of the forward pass, and although several bullet-like heaves from Welch to Guarino, and one beauty from Hasan to Welch, seemed about to produce results; for the aft-Continned on Page Six.

The Syracuse Freshmen defeated the Perm State freshmen team here today, 6 to 0, winning the game in the third quarter when Titmas tossed a pass i to Jackson and carried the ball over from the 4-yard line.

Fumble on 16-Yard Line Final Period Deprives Panthers of Win. in OUTPLAY W. J. Blue and Gold Excels in All Departments But Fails to Cross Goal Line. By MAX E.

IIMVi'M For thp cprn season Pitt season, ltt and W. J. could come to no decision in their an- nual gridiron battle and as 0 nnn UUU spectators surrounded aj and rain-soaked field and the football world awaited with brpathlpcQ i Dreatnless interest the heralded meeting of the ancient rivals, I witn a possible championship at i stake, Panther and President again battled to a scoreless deadlock. Under skies that were alternately leaden and fitfully bright, the play of the two teams seemed to take its character from the elements the game was almost as drab as the day itself. The personal dual between Gibby Welch and Bill Amos, all-American offerings of their respective teams, failed to materialized as these great players were more effectively held back by the mud than they ever would have been by their enemies' defensive play.

Pitt can take whatever solace she needs from the fact that she outplayed the Red and Black by one of the greatest margins that could be imagined when no points were scored. W. J. can be satisfied with the bare verdict itself, for aside from Kirk- man's fine punting and several flashes by Heisel. diminutive left half back, the Presidents liad little to recommend them as one of the best in the land.

PUT THREATENS ALWAYS. The Panthers threatened constantly, keeping play in their foes' territory almost constantly except for a short period in each of the third and fourth periods. Booth had three shots at the uprights from placement, but the ball was too heavy and the distance too great for the plucky fullback to make good. The great Panther opportunity was lost early in the fourth period just when it seemed that the old steamroller was gathering the necessary momentum for a touchdown. But after successive shots at the President line had indicated that the visiting forwards were showing a tendency to weaken just a little.

Welch, the cynosure of all eyes and Dotential hero of the hard-fought engagement, permitted the slippery ball to slide out of his grasp just after his powerful plunge at the W. J. right tackle had netted him eight yards, and would have made it first down on the 16-yard line. Big Ed Gallagher recovered the oval for his team, and soon Kirkman's trusty foot had the ball far down field too far, in fact, for the Blue and Gold ever to threaten so seriously although they maintained their offensive advantage to the very end of the game. The remarkable thing about this fumble is that It was one of only three that occurred throughout the entire game, although the pigskin must have been elusive and hard to handle.

Of course there is no assurance that had Welch held the ball a tally would have ever resulted, for the way rival linemen were rising to their tasks when danger appeared was beautiful to see. LINEMEN IN STAR. ROLES. In fact, this was a linemen's game if there ever was one. With the star backs of both teams shackled by the heavy field, it remained for the forwards to star, and they made the most of the occasion.

So outstanding were the feats of "Jap" Douds, W. Js brilliant tackle; Joe Donchess the Panther's fine young end; Aschman. slender President center, "Nicky Ilerrold, Bill Kern and John Roberts, that they carried off the individual honors for the day. Douds was a thorn in the side of Pitt all afternoon. It was the for tune and Welch's misfortune that he piayeu ici l.

Haverford. Yankee Stadium, New York, Nov. 5. New York university's great football team threw back the invasion of Carnegie Tech on a muddy field this afternoon. Behind a smoothly functioning line, Frank Briante and Captain Jack Connor, of the Violet, scored three touchdowns to Carnegie's one, made by Harpster.

Two placement goals by Strong made the New York university total 20, while Letzelter failed to raise the Carnegie total of 6 after a placement attempt. In the matter of gaining ground from scrimage, Carnegie was about equal to the Violet. Twelve first downs were made by each team, but Carnegie contributed to the N. Y. U.

total by 40 yards by offside play. In the first quarter when N. Y. U. made its first touchdown, Carnegie pushed themselves back 25 yards by offside play.

These penalties occurred after the ball had been taken by Briante to the Tech 46 on a run back of a punt and helped the ball over the goal line all but 21 yards which were rapidly made on the line smashing of Briante and Connor. In fact, it was these two men who gained more ground than any four players on the field. In the second quarter Connor broke throug-h the Carnegie left tackle, cut over to liis left and outran the Carnegie secondary defense in a 42-yard sprnt to the goal. Both Carnegie men had a chance to get him but were outguessed as well as outrun. BRIANTE MAKES LONG RUN.

The smashing Briante, on the third play in the third quarter, made the longest run of the game. It began on a plunge through center. After clearing the forward wall of defense he cut over to the side of the field and with Myers interfering to perfection, ran to the Carnegie 19. It was a gain of 51 yards. Another offside penalty and Strong got away through left tackle and practically crawled his way to a touchdown after slipping on the 4-yard mark.

That was enough for the Violet and they fell back into a defensive attitude after losing the ball a few moments later on the 10-yard line where it had been taken by Briante and Strong from the 32. Myers had intercepted a Carnegie pass at this mark. Harpsters exchange of punts with Strong at the opening of the fouith quarter and then a pretty run back by the Carnegie man gave Carnegie the ball on the N. Y. U.

37. Carnegie's intricate plays took the ball to 18-yard line but it was lost when Harps ter's accurate forward slipped out of Letzelter's hands when it appeared that he should have caught it. After Connor punted to Harpster on his 42 the latter showed what he could do with a wet, muddy ball. He kicked the ball from his 35-yard line to the N. Y.

U. 5 on the carry, a distance of 60 yards. On the subject of punting, the Carnegie man averaged well over 40 yards all afternoon. Only one of hSs kicks was bad, but that was made while he stood on a surface cf water. Harpster made a bet-Continued on Page Six.

5. Fordham met its fourth successive defeat when the Holy Cross eleven scored a 7-2 victory today. On a tricky field, made dangerous by rain, the Maroons kept Holy Cross from scoring for more than three periods, Delany punting out of danger whenever the Crusaders were organized for aggressive campaigning. Shanahan scored the winning touchdown for Holy Cross, but Ryan's work featured the Crusader line in the final quarter. His pass gave Shanahan the touchdown opportunity, while a Ryan pass to Clancy opened the way for an extra point.

Fordham scored in the second period on a safety. COLUMBIA HELD TO TIE BYJ. HOPKINS New York, Nov. 5. Columbia was held to a 7- 7 tie by John Hopkins today, the Baltimore eleven displaying a powerful defense on the slippery gridiron.

The visitors scored in the first five minutes when Capt. Mal-lonne fel Ion the ball behind the Columbia goal line after Bill Buser had fumbled. In the second half, Fred Rieger, Columbia ace, who had been out of the game on account of a leg injury, was inserted into the line up and he ran 38 yards for a touchdown. That ended the rcorirur although Columbia was near the Johns Hopkins goal several times in the "last quarter. if W.

J. TILT REAT LINE PLAY NOW BO WILL SIGN Beaver Falls, Pa, Nov. 5. The announcement that Bo McMillen has signed to coach the Geneva football team in 1928 is expected at any time now. Bo was tendered a one-year contract some time ago, it is said, but he refused to sign it until after the Grove City game today.

"If Geneva wins, 111 sign," he told the student body on Friday. "If we lose, somebody else can have my place." Geneva won today, 13 to 0. HARDER IS HERO AS STANFORD DEFEATS WASHINGTON LADS Seattle, Wash, Nov. 5. Playing the entire contest without a fumble despite a wet and muddy field, Stanford defeated the Huskies of University of Washington here this afternoon 13 to 7.

Ted Harder, Stanford right end, was the hero of the contest, scoring the winning touchdown on a spectacular play. Washington had held Stanford for downs on its four yard line in the fourth quarter. Louis Tesreau, Husky halfback, dropped back to his goal post to kick out of danger. Harder broke through the powerful Washington line, blocked the punt and fell on the ball behind the Washington goal line for a touchdown. from distances from 35 to 47 yards was far too great- As for Wash-Jeff, a rip-tearing fellow bearing the moniker of Jap Douds earned the major share of the glory, with his fellow lineman.

Bill Asch-mann, a close second. Douds, liter-airy, was in the thick of every play. He tackled viciously, he broke through the line and even challenged Welch to catch punts when he was on top of him ready to tackle the Pitt flash. And everything that Douds did, Aschmann also duplicated, but not so consistently. Then the crowd must also be considered.

It easily recognized the outstanding men. It cheered vociferously every time Booth ploughed through the line and sat in awe when Douds or Aschmann broke up plays with marvelous tackling. nOPED FOR "BREAK." However, while all of this was going on there seemed to be almost a prayer for scoring pjay. But when this did not happen there was the hope for a "break" in the combat. And again the multitude of 45.000, which would have easily exceeded 60,000 had the day been anyways near fair, was again disappointed.

Still the crowd went home apparently satisfied. And it should have been, for it saw one of the most stubborn battles In local grid history and one that will fong be remembered regardless of what happens. PITTAV. J. PITT.

MURRAY. What price football! A scoreless tie the records of two great teams smirched, the chances of either to capture two major grid titles, the national or eastern, apparently gone and a third crown, a district championship, hangs in a balance as a result of the outcome. Still it was a ferocious battle and seemingly worthy of whatever it may cost either combatant in the way of records or titles. It was a stubbornly contested battle, a masterpiece of great line play. And for the second time, the traditional clash of the Golden Panthers of Pitt and the Kerr coached machine of Wash-Jeff goes down in grid his tory as a scoreless tie.

It was the same thing as last season only the battle was not quite as bitterly fought. STILL EVEN IN WINS. Then, too, the teams still remain on even terms in the matter of victories after 28 years of fighting. Each has won 13 games while in the past two seasons neither has been able to gain the advantage. It was pitiful to some 50,000 or more who througed the stadium yesterday that neither team was able to gain a scoring advantage.

They waited and hoped for three periods for something to happen, for either team to score, but when this did not occur they looked for the ultimate "break" of the contest. Still that did not happen and then the throng left, a bit disconsolate, but apparently satisfied that it had seen two great machines battle to a standstill. It will take a long time in local grid circles to produce a game with such a brilliant display of Kne play as was shown yesterday. It was truly the zenith in the performances of the two forward walls. The whole story may be told in this.

The forwards consistently stopped Galloping Gibby Welch, Pitt's excellent bid for Ail-American honors, while the Panther linemen fairly smothered Wild Bill Amos, as good a back as has be-in produced in this district in many seasons. It was Just a repetition of past W. history in which the outstanding backs of each team were held intact. PRODUCES HEROES. StilL the contest did hot fail to produce Its heroes.

True, the two lines of the contesting teams took most of the glory but still there were the outstanding performers. For Pitt would not seem amiss to name a fellow who refused to stay in a sick bed when his team needed him most. It was the gallant "Bullet" plunging tactics, easily earned him the backfield honors of the day. "Bullet" was the only one of the eight bail carriers who was able to do any ground gaining and do it consistently. He ripped and plunged to at least six of the Panther 11 first downs, but missed his biggest chance to rank along the rea? "greats" of the Blue and Gold football history.

This was in the matter of place goals. Booth tried at least three of them, but the handicap of a leg injury, in trying KENTUCKY CRUSHED BY ALABAMA DRIVE By United Press. Birmingham, Nov. 5. After an extremely poor start.

Alabama crushed Kentucky here today in their annual struggle, winning 21 to 6. The lighter Kentucky team held the Crimson scoreless in the first half. In the second half, however, the plunging Alabama backs put over three touchdowns. Kentucky scored its touchdown in the first quarter when Mohney recovered an Alabama fumble. In the second half Alabama opened up a passing attack to score a touchdown, while another was added by the magnificent line plunges by Holm, the Alabama fullback.

A running attack resulted In the third Alabama touchdown. yesterday the Pitt Rockmen Tied by Gophers Joesting's Pass With Two Minutes to Go Prevents Irish Victory. Cartier Field, Notre Dame, Nov. 5. Minnesota's smashing, darting, dodging football team and Coach Knute Rockne's brilliant assorted Notre Dame teams battled to a 7 to 7 tie here today, in a never-to-be-forgotten game.

In the final moments of the final quarter. Doc Spears of the Minnesota team dimmed Notre Dame's hopes for a national football championship, with Knute Rockne's own weapon the forward pals. It was a toss from big Herb Joesting, giant Gopher fullback, to Walsh, Gopher end, which tied the score. In the first period, Johnny Niemiec had raced around Minnesota's left end for a touchdown, after Walsh of Notre Dame had recovered Hyde's fumble. Niemiec kicked the extra point for Notre Dame, while Pharmer, who was inserted in the lineup to do that very thing, knotted the count for the Gophers with a place kick.

Had it not been for the breaks of the game the loose ball handling in critical moments Notre Dame and Minnesota would have finished this epic football game without a score. For Notre Dame the goat will be Fredericks, the center whose bad pass to Niemiec near the end of the game was recovered' by Bruno Nagurski, sub Gopher tackle. And it was Hovde, who fumbled a Notre Dame punt in the first quarter, which was recovered by Walsh of Notre Dame, who allowed Niemiec to make his touchdown. The stars who were figured to shine were dimmed by other players. Where Flanagan might have been a hero, Cbevigny took his place by stopping Almquist on Notre Dame's 10-yard line early in the fourth quarter when the Gophers took advantage of Nairn iec's poor kick to shove the ball down almost to the goal posts.

In the first few minutes of the game Minnesota rushed Notre Dame off its feet and Pharmer, Matchan and Almquist pushed the ball to Notre Dame's 17-yard line. Hovde, however, elected to pass, and the toss was incomplete. It was a case of stone wall against stone wall throughout most of the game. Spasmodically Minnesota and Notre Dame showed signs of staging a sustained drive, but the Irish line and the Gopher line consistently held in the pinches, tional title. Notre Dame Vocriiseh I.
