Nov. 20 Carnegie Tech's first football season under the coaching of Bill Kern and his capable staff of former Pitt stars ended here today as it began last October, with a mild upset. The first Saturday of October found the Tartans blowing a 14-point lead and losing in the last minute and half to New York 18 to 14. Today, the Skibos, decided underdogs against an undefeated. Holy Cross eleven, outplayed their foemen but left the field well satisfied with a 0-0 stalemate.

The scoreless tie gave Tech two wins, five defeats and one deadlock for the year. Holy Cross ran into its second 0-0 game, the first with Temple and the Crusaders now boast seven victories with one more tussle remaining. Game Played in Muti The game was played under miserable conditions, but a crowd of 15,000 sat in the open stands throughout, wet and cold. A light snow fell during the game and turned the field into a muddy morass. Tooting was very uncertain and forward passes were practically out of the question, although the Crusaders managed to do something with this mode of attack.

The game was played in the manner of a double-header; Holy Cross was in complete charge of the first half and Tech the offensive in the final two periods. The Tartans went on the field with 10 Seniors and one Junior and the boys did very well the first quarter, although the game was still in its infancy when the Techs got into a hole from which theynever recovered the remainder of the half. Tech In Hole Jerrv Matelan received a punt on hLs 12, lateraled to Gene Rosenthal, who was boxed and he tried a lat- eral back to Matelan. but Histen, Holy Cross left end, intercepted the ball on the Carnegie 7. Bill Osmanski, a grand plunging fullback, bucked for one, and two passes were batted down, but Captain Charley Miskovics tackled Osmanski on a fourth down plunge and Carnegie took over the ball on the four-yard stripe.

An exchange of punts started Holv Cross off again and wlien Osmanski, trapped behind the line, squirmed loose and reversed his field for 19-yard and a first down on the Carnegie 20, it looked bad. But the Tartans playing like mad men, held and took the ball on their own 31, after Holy Cross had managed to advance to the 17 in this same series of downs. Door Never Opens The teams changed sides for the second quarter, but the Crusaders insisted upon knocking at the touchdown door which never was opened. Osmanski again came into the picture, this time nabbing a pass from Cahill for a 27-yard sprint to the Carnegie 23.

Ingram, "avy. By CHESTER L. SMITH Press Sports Editor PITT STADIUM, Nov. 20 A rendezvous in Dixie next Saturday alone stands between Pitt and an undefeated campaign, and today the Panthers were pointing toward the Blue Devils of Duke with the realization that if they throw them back as they have every rival save Fordham, the Eastern and perhaps the National football accolade is theirs. Yesterday, it was a resourceful yet outmatched Penn State that gave way to the inexorable slashing and hacking' of "Mad" Marshall Goldberg and his brilliant cast, 28 to 7, in a game that was played on a field ringed with snow.

A cutting west wind and occasional flurries of snow stung the eyes and numbed the hands, yet the gridiron was comparatively fast. 23,000 Watch Contest Athough the first miniature blizzard of the season did cut down the crowd to 23,000, neither it nor the defences of the Nittany Lions was equal to the task of shackling the sweeps, cutbacks and plunges of the white-jerseyed Panthers. Behind blocking that jarred to the marrow, they bit off a total of 337 yards, some in astounding chunks, and were in full charge of the situation from beginning to end. Just as Pitt has been a team of amazing contrasts all Fall, so was it yesterday. Instead of holding back their trump for the second half as they did against Carnegie Tech, Notre Dame and Nebraska, the Panthers turned on the faucets almost before the late comers had time to shiver under their first chill, and before the first quarter was over they had sent Frank Patrick and Goldberg across for touchdowns and added the extra point by way of Frank Souchak's toe on each occasion.

Cassiano Races 78 Yards In the second quarter "Dandy Dick" Cassiano, Goldberg's sophomore understudy, raced 78 yards for a third score in one of the most picturesque solo runs witnessed at the Stadium this year. Merkovsky' successful conversion sent the Panthers to the warmth of their dressing rooms at half-time with a 21-0 lead that was no end of comfort to Dr. Jock Sutherland, who had feared that there might be a letdown on the part of his players after they had been the target for major opponents so many weeks. No one begrudged the Lions their touchdown in the third period. In truth, no one could, for it was handsomely earned, a magnificent pass from "Rabbit" Wear to Sidney Alter, substitute end.

It was a 30-yard thrust and when Alter caught the ball in the end zone with two Panthers making a vain attempt to (Continued on Page 4) Bear line ripping the Stanford forward wall to shreds, the California backs Bottari, Chapman, Anderson and Meek churchned off tremendous chunks of yardage without a halt. Both the touchdown drives, just as nearly all of California's surges this season, came in the second period. The Bears look over then-opposition in the first period, size them up and then start rolling. Once under way there is hardly any stopping them, so precisely, so sharply and so wickedly do they block. Stanford never had a chance.

The Continued On Fare I By HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Writer. NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Fordham's undefeated Rams moved today to within a single game of a perfect football season and a possible invitation to the Rose Bowl when they punched out a 6-0 victory over the Galloping Gaels of St. Mary's of California. Fordham's hardy team outplayed St.

Mary's all the way, but the best it could do in the way of scoring was a single touchdown early in the third period on a nifty play they picked up a couple of weeks ago from Perdue. With three men handling the ball, the Rams pushed over the score from the 11 -yard line before a crowd of 35,000 that sat in freezing weather at the Polo Grounds, soaked by rain and snow while the Rams fought fruitlessly through two periods of bruising play before they finally clicked. Joe Woitkoski, 172-pound junior back, scored the touchdown after a fancy bit of ball-handling by Fullback Johnny Lock and Quarterback Bill Krywicki. It was third down and four to go on St. Mary's eleven, when Lock, who spearheaded a drive from the Rams' 42, faked a buck into the line.

Suddenly he whirled and handed the ball to Krywicki. Bill shot a lateral to Woitkoski, who raced toward the sidelines, and then cut in and galloped over the goal without a hand being laid on him. Capt. Johnny Druze's try for extra point failed when Krywicki, taking the snap-back from center, fumbled the slippery ball and failed to place it properly. The Gael line swarmed in and smothered the play.

Fordham's superiority was told in the -figures. The Gaels made only one first down, only 15 yards rushing and clicked with but one forward pass for 3 yards. Fordham put together 16 first downs, made 214 yards on the ground and completed 8 of 20 passes for 76 yards. St. Mary's got out of its backyard once, in the closing seconds of the first half when Guard Ralph Jack (Continued on Page 4) iBy The United.

It was the most complete rout ever suffered by either team in their KVevS' dSaXenTof game as Villanova rode roughshod over an Owl defense which was re- garded as one of the strongest in the East. Johnny Wysocki, Villanova's great end, started the Wildcats on a victory march when he scored on a pass from Stopper in the second period. Alex Bell caught another of Stopper's bullet heaves in the same quarter for the second score. Stopper came into the scoring column, after firing them all afternoon, when he grabbed a 15-yard pass from Stoviak and sprinted 20 yards to the Temple goal in the third period.

There was no letup in the streamlined power attack which Villanova poured on its inter-city rival as the fourth quarter got under way. How-lett passed to Earle for a touchdown and shortly afterward Rogers, a tackle, plucked Nichols' pass out of the air and galloped 76 yards for the final' tally.

Press ANNAPOLIS, 20 While the Navy varsity was being walloped 26 to 6 by an underrated Princeton eleven, the vNavy team was chasing to one of the highest scores of the season as they defeated the Rutgers team, 126 to 0. The Middie varsity probably could have used some of these "second rate" Tars in their battle with the Tigers. beaten teams, 13-6. The sensational triumph, accomplished before a capacity crowd of 58,000, who watched the second half in a snowstorm, was Harvard's first win over Yale since 1933 and gave the Crimson its first Big Three title in 22 years. Sheer running power, supplemented by a heads-up aerial attack and an iron-clad defense against desperate last-minute Yale passes, rocketed.

Harvard to its coveted victory in this fifty-sixth renewal of a 61-year-old rivalry. Don Daughters and Frank Foley scored Harvard's touchdowns, but Sophomore Torby MacDonald stole the show with his brilliant running and pass defense honors. The irrepressible Captain Clint Frank produced Yale's only score and teamed with Bud Humphrey in a do-or-die effort to pitch the tieing touchdown. Frank closed his spectacular career in a blaze of glory, but was denied the triumph that would have given the Elis their first unbeaten team since 1924. Statistically, Harvard had an edge in every department except punting, Dave Colwell's mighty boots averaging 41 yards 13 yards better than Harvard's MacDonald made 14 first downs to Yale's eight, gained 248 yards by rushing to Yale's 160, and completed three of nine passes for 55 yards, while Yale had three completions out of 14 for 43 yards.

The Crimson forces blasted out a touchdown in the secoild period and never were headed thereafter, although Yale came back to deadlock the score in the opening minutes of the third period. Not until the final period, however, was Harvard able to produce the winning touchdown. A 57-yard drive climaxed by Daughters' shoestring catch of Foley's touchdown toss gave Harvard its first score. Chief Boston's placement try for extra point was wide. No sooner had the teams taken the field in a flurry of snow at the outset of the second half than Yale came back to tie the score.

Taking the kickoff, the Elis marched 67 yards in seven plays. Fleet-footed Al Hessberg broke away for runs of 27 and 26 yards, the last carrying to Harvard's two-yard line.

Perry Graves Maltsch attempted a pass to Leysenaar, but MeKeeta knocked down the ball on the 10-yard mark. Then Maltsch passed 16 yards to Leysenaar, as he was stepping across the goal, for the second touchdown. Cooper's kick from placement was wide. In the opening period, after Leysenaar got off a poor punt that went out on the Marquette 44, Duquesne started, a promising march from this point, with Cassello and Onder carrying the ball alternately to the Hilltoppers' 11. There, Cassello went off his own left tackle for seven yards and fumbled when hit hard, but Serangelli recovered for the Dukes on the Markuette 4.

Then Cassello swent around left end with a wave of blockers and was almost near the goal line when he dropped the ball, which bounded back to the 10, where he recovered. Two passes fell incomplete, the second going over Onder's head and past theu end zone, Marquette getting the ball on the 20. Dukes Bok Down Play during the remaining part cf the quarter was most in Marquette territory, with the exception of two occasions when two punts carried the ball into the Duke's zone. After the Hill-toppers failed find any openings in the invaders' line, Busch punted, the ball roiling head on the Dukes' 34 yard line. Duquesne's running game bogged down after reaching mid-field and Cassello kicked over the goal line.

Leysenaar found a big hole at light guard and galloped 20 yards to the Hilltoppers' 40-yard mark, nearly getting into the clear, only to be brought down by Brumbaugh on a desperate tackle. Here Marquette's running game failed and Busch punted to Onder on his own 28. For the remaining minutes of piay in the quarter both teams resorted to kicking, Cassillo having an cdvantage on Busch. The quarter ended with the ball in possession of Marquette on their own 17. Following an exchange of kicks at (Continued on Page 2) Almost 7000 shivering spectators, who sat in the cold, wind-swept stands, saw the Dukes cash in on a break late in the second period to score their touchdown but fail to kick the extra point, only to see the tide of the game suddenly shift after the ensuing kickoff.

With only three minutes remaining to play in the half, Onder k-irkeri ofF to Levsenaar Marauette jef halfback, who took ball and returned it to his own 41. Then Coach "Paddy" Driscoll inserted Bill Staffeld, a substitute end who showed well as a passer during this week's workouts, for Andy Baluka. On the first play, Staffeld faded back and surprised the Dukes by tossing a 30-yard pass to Leysenaar, who took the ball on the Duquesne 40 yard stripe, while running diag onally across the gridiron, 1 and dashed the remaining 40 yards to SCOre.

Another Pass Scores After three minutes of play in the third period, Brumbaugh punted to Maltsch who returned 10 yards to the Marquette 32.

Maltsch then fought his way through the center of the Duquesne forward wall for 18 yards and a first down at mid-field. Busch and Leysenaar picked up another first down, moving the ball into Duquesne territory to the 38-yard stripe. On the next play, the Dukes were guilty of unnecessary roughness and penalized 15 yards. Leysenaar and Busch made six yards through the line, and then had to reconcile themselves to nothing better than several stouthearted goal line stands by Northwestern in the second half.

Vernon Struck and Foley chewed off the most important ground gains and a Foley-to-Bob-Green pass down the alley was good for 16 yards to Yale's 17.
