An inspired Army team came down from the plains today, decisive arouna xsotre Dame's right end, he immediately sent his first team into the game. IRISH BACKS SMOTHERED. The Notre Dame regulars carried the ball down to Army's 8-yard line in the second period, but the old Army line rose up to stop the Irish within a few paces of the goal Only once more during the game was Notre Dame within striking distance of the goal. That was the final period after Army had rolled up three touchdowns and had almost a complete team of substitutes in the game. Notre Dame was comnletelv kmoth- Defeats Nassau 47 Georgetown backed deep into their own territory by an avalanche of successful forward passes in the dying moments of the game, it was a dashing, ripping battle.

Spectators said it was the greatest game even seen at the stadium, and one of the finest ever played in Pittsburgh. The Panthers' rapier-like thrusts were more than a match, for the powererful running attack of the visitors, with Glenn Presnell and "Blue" Howell as its spearheads, three sen sational and perfectly executed plays resulting in touchdowns and giving Pitt her greatest triumph of the season. THRILLS BEGIN AT ONCE. Welch's marvelous run on the first play of the game, gave the onlookers, who were hardly settled in their seats, some indication of just what kind of a contest it was to be, but few in the big throng dreamed the game would develop into such a ripping, tearing exhibition, with first one and then the other team taking the lead in supplying the thrills. The crowd saw Welch at his best, despite the fact that his gains from scrimmage were short and not too plentiful.

But the great back turned in still another typical play after his touchdown run, when he grabbed a Tin rrn -w-t 1lVtlAr1 St Jeanette 26 Wilkinsburg 20 N.

The Army team is easily the best team Notre Dame has played this year, but even so the game was closer and more fiercely fought than the score indicates. The game hadn't been going on for more than several minutes, when the Army punted on fourth down.

One of the Notre Dame players, however, in rushing the kicker, brushed him and the Army was given the ball again with first down. It was the first break of the game for the Army, because on the next play, Harry Wilson, on a beautiful run of 40 yards, scored the first touchdown. Fearful that this break had upset the shock troops, I immediately sent in the regulars. The game see-sawed back and forth until Cagel, Murrill and Wilson, on a combination of plunges, passes and off-tackle plays carried the ball to the Notre Dame 10-yard line. 26 Renssalaer 0 26 Catholic 18 0 St Viator 0 St.

On fourth down, Prelli went into the flat zone all by himself, but the passer having poor grip on the ball was only able to throw it part way. The half ended a Sew seconds later.

Another wild Notre Dame pass came near proving costly at the start of the fourth period. Meehan, who had replaced Nave, snared Niemic's pass TRIM CALIFORNIA the score 12 to 0. The Army offense again swung into play, early in the fourth quarter. Notre Dame had on the 2-yard line and took the ball away on downs.

Niemiec punted safely out of danger and it was Army's ball in midfield. Several running plays failed but on the third down. Nave threw a beautiful pass to Cagel, who had slipped past a secondary man covering him and the fleet-footed star cinched the victory for the Army. The Armv missed the third goal, though it made no difference. With five minutes to play.

Biff Jones withdrew Wilson, Murrill and Cagel and Notre Dame immediately began its last rally.

Both Nebraska touchdowns came through the medium of power plays, although a clever kicking attack was used several times to work the ball into scoring position.

Army line, according to Biff Jones played a lot better than it had anytime this year. The two ends and tackles were superb. It is true, the Army got most of the breaks, but this was due to the fact that they were more alert, more intent and seemed to be full of dash and resilency every second. The Notre Dame team looked a little tired, but perhaps the Army's furious play contributed to this appearance. There is no game where two teams fight harder than when Notre Dame plays the Army.

Every man on the Maroon squad saw action and the second and third teams scored even more often than the varsity. The thrill of the game was furnished by Wolbert, who at the beginning of the second quarter caught the kickoff and ran 85 yards for a touchdown.
