Neither was the power they were to become as the years went on; the Panthers were precocious upstarts in a world ruled by Harvards, Yales, Princetons and Pennsylvanias; Notre Dame just beginning to feel the growing pains that were destined to turn its scraggly acres on a dreary Indiana prairie into a capital of academic and athletic glory.

The Irish won the first game in 1909 by a score of 6 to 0. They tied two years later without THE FIR.ST OP lit JHIlV -rUek. -rr I I THES6TWO RIVALS WAS A ffafe -Jshmi TOOK THE SECOND TILT FOa DEAR.

Each had scored a touchdown and there was hardly more than a minute to play when Marty Peters kicked the field goal that Cave victory to the Irish the onlv time in his high school or college playine days that he had scored in this way. The Panthers once had Hub Randour free in an open nld. with three intrrferer.s in front, but none behind. Peters caught him in a thrilling dash and the chance withered and died. Memorable that year was Arnold Greene's unusual punt, that fell on the 50-yard line Louis, Max In Chicago Dukes' Line I Is Superior SSKil Notre Dame Passers Saturday The Notre Dame team that is expected to cross Pitt's goal line Saturday when the two teams battle it out at South Bend, may have to go through the air to accomplish its pur pose.

The Panther line has proved i its fitness all season. The onlv points the Pitts have yielded went to Carnegie Tech last week, and both touchdowns were due to for-f ward passes. The best way to smash a passing attack is to rush the very life out of the tosser. Pitt is in rather fortunate circumstances that its ends are very capable, very fast and ery adept at closing in on ft passer.

Both the Irish and Panthers, especially the latter, are stout defensively and naturally, both will be "up" as never before because of the intense feeling injected in this final meeting. The Pitt boys are fast approaching their top form of the year mentally and they resent the fact that after this season there will be no more games with Notre Dame.

Pitt stood with it.s cleats in the lime of its own goal line and threw back drive after drive. Time and again it.

Those who were in the howl that bleak afternoon will never forget the sequence of events that set the tide moving the other way. Quarterback Bob Hogan loosed a towering punt from his own end zone that carried inside Notre Dames 20-yard line, the Irish kicked out weakly and Mike Sebastian broke through right tackle to score from more than 40 yards cut. Before the end. Ted Dailev had intercepted a pass hurled in desperation and there was another touchdown.

Of course, the Tartan Bagpipes, from deep in Schenley Hollow, might pipe a few notes of their own before afternon falls over the west fhoulder of the Stadium bowl. Either way, it'll he a rip-roaring scrap between two teams that fight until the last whistle. Coach Little Clipper Smith has a ''60-minute Duquesne forward wall" to throw against the Plaid.

Captain Maras and Bill Critchfield show up bull-like at the tackles. Guards Barko and Sussanno or Amann c'rive ahead on either side of Center Giabinski. who is trying to fill the All-American shoes of Captain Mike Basrak. At right end Ray Serangelli is ready and waiting to mess up the Tech backfield. along with Kirsling, who has temporarily replaced injured George Platukis on the left side.

Platukis. however, is fretting to get back into harness and it's not unlikely that he'll see service. That's the way the Dukes' front wall will line up Saturday. And in case of emergency, a few of the Clipper's reserve lads have been showing enough stuff to make good "sub risks." Nery. sophomore right tackle, is one of the best prospects in Duke history.

Eureka Shows I'p Well Tackle Eureka, who certainly has a name enough to spell trouble for the Techs, looks like a good replacement for the left side. McMillan, at left end, has been coming fast, as has Padlo. at center. Working out in a brisk wind tht almost bowed the Bluff thermometer to the freezing point yesterday, Coach Smith had the Duquesne squad clipping along wTith a lot of zip and drive. Yes.

sir, the boys got right down to business yesterday. They're to play the kind of ball that will make their Richmond performance look like the "Big Mistake of 1937." Add to this the alarming fact that Tech has lost some mighty tough ball games to good teams over the past five weeks, it's easy to conclude that the Dukes will have to play "heads-up" ball to be in there against Bill Kern's "hard-luck, hard-hitting" Tartans. Same Backfield Smith plans to use the same backfield that started the Richmond came, "unless a miracle happens at right half." Smith's Houdini shot is in the person of George Matsik. who "just might make it, if the gods of injury are eood." Cassilo is favored over McKeeta. in case that the Matsik person's injured hand fails to respond to treatment, to team up with Frolicking Boyd Brumbaugh, at the halfbacks.

Karrs bumps into the fullback job, once again, and Zoppetti, as usual, will be prepared to bark out. the signals. Twenty-four hours after the Tech scrap, the Dukes will board a "choo-choo" headed for their first out-of-town invasion. They'll be goin' South, for Texas. A stop-over at St.

Louis Monday, followed by a Tuesday stay at Amarillo, will bring the squad into Lubbock, in Texas' north-west Panhandle. for a gamp with Texas Tech on Armistice Day, Thursday. Such Nerve! Wake Sleeping: Bv The United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4 Helen Wills Moody reiterated here today that she had no intention of playing professional tennis. Awakened from sleep to comment on New York reports that she was going to "play for pay," she made an unequivocal denial.

"I am not going to play pro-fesional tennis and that's all there is to it," she said. "I don't know whe. all these silly reports start. You can deny them categorically, and besides, don't you think it's pretty early to be getting a person out of bed to answer the phone." PITT COMCERNEO TAKES PLACE dog in this battle with the Dukes, a battle that can land the Tartans second place in the city rivalry, providing they win. Coach Bill Kern has had fine success against the Notre Dame i system years while Pitt and this season, too.

None of the previous Tech-Du-quesne games have been walkaways, the- biggest disparity between the two schools coming last fall when the Hilltoppers won. "3 to 0.

Both teams are strong defensively, with the Hilltoppers accorded an edge with their booming attack. Those fans predicting an upset base their contentions on the rugged Tech schedule against the mediocre array foisted on Clipper Smith this season. It happened in 1934 hard schedule against a soft one when Tech won, 3 to 0, and it may happen again. after 6 a long one to commence vcith it's also yours Ste! Stores at JL JUL. Mb va and bounced back to Pitt's 21 before it could be touched down.

From there, the Irish went on to cross the coal line. Pitt's most one-ided decision and undeservedly so was played last year. It was by 26-0. and many wondered how it could have been that hich. for as the came was played, the Panthers appeared to be not more than a touchdown stronger.

But Pitt didn't throw away a single opportunity that came knocking at its door. Meet for Last Time Now these elevens that have given football so many pulsing hours come together Saturday for the last time. The series will end with the shrill pipe of a whistle, and there seems no indication that it will be taken up within th next, few years. I believe the game will be poorer because this relationship is drawing to a close, but how Pitt and Notre Dame feel about it is another story and none of my affair. There have been reports that personalities have been involved in the leave-taking, hut if that is true, no one has ever been able tn put a finger on the exact nature of the trouble.

Actually, there is no complete cleavage; the universities will continue to compete against each other in basketball and track it is only on the football field that they will be strangers. How lonti the interruption will be is a matter for conjecture, but those who en.ioy goine back to thumb the vivid chapters they havp written will hope the intermission is a brief one.

By LESTER BIEDERMAN For a fellow weighing 165 pounds, Ray Carnelly of Carnegie Tech cer- jtainly puts out a 220-pound foot- Dau game. Broken nose, bruised hip. leg injuries, plus the fact that he takes body beating in every game, makes Carnelly all the more remarkable. They took him off the field at the Stadium Saturday against Pitt, and they said he'd be lucky if he arew on a uniform the rest of the season. He was physically worn out.

But they don't know Ray Carnelly. The Beaver Falls kid reported for practice last Monday, Tuesday donned his working clothes and has had 'em on each afternoon since. He'll be in the "Carnegie Tech starting backfield Saturday when the Tartans swing into action against Duquesne at the Stadium. Henkle, Clark Top Pro Scorers Ey The United Press NEW YORK. Nov.
