wnn triA tTL'frtv-fnnrt Yi game of the long and ever-throbbing series with the Tartans of Carnegie Tech at the Stadium yesterday. Thirty-seven thousand persons basked in mellow October sunshine and saw the Panthers score in every period to make the final tally 25 to 14, and insure for Pitt the 1937 city championship, Duquesne already having fallen under the telling blows of the Blue and Gold's hammer-like attack. The Panthers now have captured 19 of the 24 contests, four having gone to Tech and one ending in a tie, and while there was no doubt at the finish yesterday that the stronger eleven, had wound up in Additional stories and pictures on Pages 3 and 4- front, there was more than a measure of satisfaction for the Scots, who skirled their bagpipes and danced -in glee as their forces led from" the opening minute of the second period until the closing seconds of the half. Tech Had Her Time, Anyhow During that time, when the score stood at seven for Tech and six for Pitt, the white-shirted Panthers must have thought this was indeed a harrowing experience appropriate to the Hallowe'en season, for the ghosts of frustration were winging overhead and the Skibos in blue, were maintaing law and order along the scrimmage line in a fashion that brooked nothing but ill for their arch-rivals from across the park. Chronologically, the game except for the pulsing second quarter was not as close as might be indicated by the score.

Frank Patrick plunged over from the three-yard line in the opening period for Pitt's initial touchdown; the Tartans got theirs in the first play of the second quarter when Pete Moroz laid an angle pass in the arms of Bob Howarth; and when there were seconds to play, Frank Souchak a field goal from 25 yards out to rocket the Panthers back into the lead at the intermission. But before Tech could put across its second touchdown, the Panthers had made two and collected a pair of points through the medium of a safety. Patrick went over from less than a foot out early in the second half and Eddie Spotovicb. gathered in a pass from Johnny Urban in the final 15 minutes. Then the Skibos came back, with less than two minutes remaining, to piece together a pass from Grad to Rosenthal.

Key Men Absent The Panthers played the entire game without sending "Mad Mar shall" Goldberg off the bench. The black-haired hill-billy was nursing an injured leg but could have been in action if the need had arisen. It never did, although throughout the second period it appeared that Goldberg and his black magic might be very, very necessary. The Tartans, too, played a great part of the afternoon without Ray Carnelly, their handy man halfback. The Beaver Fall junior was led off the field with a broken nose in the first quarter and was taken to a hospital when it was feared he might have suffered a slight concussion.

Late in the second half Quarterback Coleman Kopcsak was carried of! with a severe leg injury, and he. too, was rushed off for a more careful examination of his hurts. Fumbles again played havoc with Pitt in the first half, giving the Tartans the opening for their initial Continued on Page 3 Safety, Field Goal Keep Both From Defeat Still Unbeaten Position. YALE.

Henney. Brown. By The United Press NEW HAVEN, Oct. 30 Yale and Dartmouth played a 9-9 tie before a capacity crowd of 72,000 today in a game that furnished one of the most thrilling final periods in the history of the Bowl. With Dartmouth leading 9 to 2 and less than a half minute to play.

Capt. Clint Frank opened a passing attack from his 40 which sent Al Hessberg over for a touchdown. Gil Humphrey booted the point that tied the score. The game thiouhout was replete with surprises and startling plays. Yale took the lead in the second period when Johnny Miller and Charley Ewart brought down "Wild Bill" Hutchinson, sensational Dartmouth sophomore, behind his goal line for a safety.

Preceding the play Colwell had kicked 84 yards to the Greens six. The third period went through without a serious threat, but at the start of the final quarter Bob McLeod intercepted Franks pass on his own 12, skirted the sidelines through a maze of tacklers and broke into the open for an 88-yard touchdown run. Kicks Field Goal The Green again got into a scoring position when Hutchinson inter cepted another of Frank's passes on Yale's 32 and, with McLeod, plunged within six inches of the Yale goal line. The Yale forward nail stubbornly resisted. Dartmouth collected penalties for stalling that brought the ball to the 19, from where Dostal booted a field goal.

Frank ran back Dostal's kickoff to his 40 and threw two passes which gave Yale the final and tieing score. Hutchinson, MacLeod and Kollingsworth were consistent ground gainers for the Big Green. Several members of the Dartmouth eleven had been reported ill of dysentery during the week but they showed none of its effects. McLeod. who scored the Big Green touchdown on the pass interception.

was one of those reported most severely ill. The drama that began piling up with the third play of the period reached an almost unbearable tension as time drew out in the fading seconds of the game. After Dostal's field goal, Frank began tossing passes. He whipped one that Hessberg snagged on the 35. Three more in a row were grounded.

Fourth Down Score When fourth down came, there was only 17 seconds to play. Dartmouth's backfield spread out in pass defense formation but somehow Hessberg managed to race to a clear spot near the right sidelines and Frank shot him a fast pass. The husky Yale back fairly catapulted across the goal line. Humphrey came in for the critical try for goal. The vast bowl stilled, the kick twisted through the standards, a great sigh burst from the Yale side and then a torrent of frenzied cheering.

Dartmouth rushes accounted for a gain of 138 yards against 77 for Yale. Frank, however, literally filled the air with passes. He tossed 32, completing nine lor a gain of 144 yards. Dartmouth threw nine, completed four and picked up 30 yards. Yale's iron line that withheld the assaults of Army and Cornell, was elastic against Dartmouth, which made seven first downs through vulnerable tackle and guard positions.

Only the passes of Frank and the booting of Dave Colwell counteracted the vigorous Green rushes. Colwell averaged 52 yards and ran up a total of 652 yards on 12 kicks. Dartmouth kicked 32 times for a total of 292 yards and an average of 32 yards. I WW'S- s. 3 into the open for an Crusaders Held Even By Owls By The United Press WORCESTER, Oct.

Uct. stoppable Vernon Struck of Patrick (arrow) scoring Pitt's first touchdown through Tech line 64,100. Puplis, a pal of Andy Pilney, hero of Notre Dame's story-book triumph over Ohio State two years ago, was a midget among giants today, but it was brilliant generalship, dash- ing running and talented toe, which enabled the Irish to maintain their record of never having lost to Minnesota. With the largest throng ever to see a game in the Northwest looking on, Puplis, stubby little 165-pounder, sneaked through the Golden Gophers' huge line for four yards and a touchdown in the first 10 minutes of play. With Halfback Jack McCarthy holding the ball.

Puplis, smallest fellow on the team, placekicked the extra point to give Notre Dame a seven-point lead. Gophers Pull 'Razzle Dazzle From there on, Notre Dame, rated a 1-2 underdog in the betting, hung on for dear life and outlasted the heavier Gophers through three quarters or smasiiaig play. Minnesota executed a breathtaking double lateral-forward pass to get its touchdown in the second period. With the ball on Notre Dame's 20-yard line, fourth down and two to go. Minnesota pulled its touchdown play.

The ball was snapped to Halfback Wilbur Moore, who tossed a short later: 1 to Fullback Martin Christiansen, who, in turn, whizzed a long lateral to Halfback Harold Van Every. While these maneuvers were going on. Captain Ray King, Minnesota right end, had raced diagonally through the Notre Dame secondary and was out in the flat zone on the opposite side when Van Every pegged a rifle-shot pass to him. King raced over standing up. With a chance to tie the score, Coach Bernie Bierman sent in Horace Bell, Negro guard, to try for the extra point.

He left the field without attempting it. The Minnesota players apparently preferred George Faust, substitute quarterback, to make the attempt. When the ball was snapped, five Notre Dame linemen swarmed through, and "Chuck" Sweeney, Irish right end, who won last week's game by tackling a Navy man in the end zone for a safety, blocked the attempt. The ball barely ot off the ground before Sweeney smothered it. After that Minnesota never crossed midfield until the last two minutes of play, when a daring series of passes by Van Every held the throng spell-bound as the Gophers swept from their own 12-yard line to Notre Dame's 35.
