The first half was a sorry exhibition of muffed balls, 10-yard punts or less and poor field generalship, but in those decisive 10 minutes the Mustangs went to town. The hidden ball trick started the Methodists toward their first touchdown late in the third period.

Kopcsak, Carnelly 'Out of Danger' Coleman Kopcsak and Ray Carnelly, Carnegie Tech football players, who were rushed to Presbyterian Hospital yesterday from the Stadium during the Pitt-Tech game, were reported greatly improved last night and hope was held out that both might be ready to face the Dukes next Saturday. Kopcsak, star quarterback, suffered a muscle bruise on his left leg in the fourth period but it was feared at first that the leg was broken.

Carnelly, who has had a broken nose all season long, had the nose bumped again yesterday and suffered a moderate concus-' sion. He, too, may be ready to take the field against the Bluffites. lajas took it over, but ne nad only a foot or so to go, and Souchak con verted. Bad Pass Costs Safety The safety against Tech came almost immediately when Lee went back to punt on first down and the snapback spun over his head into the end zone. Lee fell on it just ahead of a committee of Panthers.

The Tartans fell to passing as their only hope as the game went into the fourth quarter and it proved both profitable and fatal before the period was over, for although they did get a touchdown out of it, so did Pitt nd at that stage, something more than an even division of the spoils was needed to offset what the Panthers had done in the previous quarter. The Scots began by intercepting a pass in midfield and carrying it up to Pitt's 25, where they threw four futile bombs into the Blue and Gold secondary, before giving up the ball on downs. But they were given another opportunity equally as golden when Urban fumbled into their hands, although on this occasion their meat became poison in their mouths as Urban intercepted one of their passes and scurried up almost to the 50-yard line before he could be hauled down. Stapulis' punt jammed the Tartans down near their own goal and when Lee kicked back, but not as far, Pitt was within striking distance. This time she didn't miss the assignment, for Urban launched a pass to Spotovich which the lattter bagged in the near corner of the end zone as a frantic Skibo was trying his best to keep on even terms with the flying wingman.

Souchak made his second conversion, and the score was 25 to 7, with not long to play. But Tech had one more punch in reserve and now she let it fly. It began with a 12-yard run by Jerry Matelan and took wings when Grad threw a strike to Rosenthal, which the swivel-hipped halfback took on the dead run and carted to Pitt's 19-yard line before he was bumped out of bounds. It was a 50-yard gain, and while the crowd sensed it would have no bearing on the result, it arose and applauded the Tartans for refusing to give up the ship. Three plays later, Tech was back on the 23.

but a penalty against a Pitt substitute who made so bold as to talk to a team mate, brought the ball ahead to the eight-yard line. There, on the second down, Grad threw to Rosenthal for the last score, and Condit added the extra point. The game was over a minute later. Pitt-Tech Yardstick PITT. TECH S.nmmc.

The Sutherlanders lost the ball no less than six times in this manner. But it was also a fortune of war in the form of a blocked punt that enabled Pitt to score midway in the opening period. Stebbins' long run-back of Carnelly's punt and Patrick's kick, which carried far into Carnegie territory, set the Plaid well back, but the stands groaned when Stebbins fumbled and Tech recovered on its own 13. Three drives at the line netted only few yards and Lee went back to kick, but he was only seven yards behind the line and the Panthers burst through and took the punt on their chests. It was recovered finally by Dclich on the four-yard stripe, and on the third plunge, Patrick took it over standing up, but failed to the score stood at 6 to 0.

Two bobbles in quick succession had a vital bearing on what was to occur during the next few minutes. Pitt kicked off. held, and Lee punted. Patrick dropped the ball on the first scrimmage and Pyzynski covered it for Tech. This was on Pitt's 31.

where the Panthers held again, and when Lee kicked scarcely 10 yards, they had the oval once more on their 26. But they couldn't keep it. and when Stebbins fumbled, Miklaucic was there to pick it up on the Panther 21 as the period ended. The opening thrust of the second quarter began as a reverse from Leo Napotnik to Moroz. but the latter faded back and arched a fast pass to his left.

Howarth was in the end zone when he made trie catch, and when Kopcsak's toe sent the conver sion through between the uprights, the Scots let out a wild roar. Souchak To The Rescue They came right back to kick off nd hold the Panthers deep on their side of the field and force a punt but when Pitt next got her hands on the ball, she drove 46 yards, with Stebbins. Stapulis and Urban carrying, to give the first display of consistent driving power of the day. The advance came to a dismal end, however, on Urban's fumble, and Merlyn Condit was quick to punt cut of bounds in mid-field to nullify I1 the Panthers' efforts. A 22-yard pass from Michelosen to Shaw brought Pitt up-field spain and when Stebbins cut through left tackle for seven yards snd Stapulis ploughed down the middle for 11.

they stood again on Techs 15. Stebbins went to the three after taking a lateral pass, tut the ball came back when it was ruled that the passer had been down before he threw the ball, and with hardly 60 seconds to go, Michelosen grounded two passes. Then Souchak rushed off the bench and sent a field goal turning lazily over the cross bar, and" Pitt was ahead for the second time and mighty glad to be out of the woods, as well she should have been, for the Plaid was going at it with everything it had and life was most uncomfortable for every manjack of the Panthers. The issue was decided once and for all at the start of the last half Pitt never relinquished the ball after the kickon until she haa a touchdown, and only 10 plays were required to travel 78 yards. Patrick.

Stebbins and Cassiano were the lances who slashed the ia line and encircled its flanks dur- 1 ing this stampede. There was a run of 27 yards by Patrick, one of 18 nd another for 12 by Stebbins and a 14-yard contribution by Gold- Hundreds of Syracuse Wins Over Penn State Continued from Page 1 before the third quarter was many minutes old. Weakness against passes, long a nemesis for the Lions spelled their downiau. Taking the ball in midfield after Harrison's punt went out of bounds, Sidat-Singh went 21 yards off left tackle and Marvil added nine more. Then, on fourth down with the State forwards holding well, Sidat-Singh passed for a first down on the nine.

Sidat-Singh sliced off tackle for eight and Ruth went over from the one. Pruett kicked the goal. A 45-yard drive resulted in tying the score for Syracuse early in the fourth quarer. An offside penalty and Sidat-Singh's nine-yard run had put the ball on the Lion 29 as the third period ended. On the second play of the last quarter, Sidat-Singh shot a pass to Mar-kowski for 16 yards and then another to Ruth for 12 yards and the tying points.

Bruitt's try-for-point was wide.

"Thanks, Jock," Bill replied. "We gave all we had, but your team was too tough. We're satisfied." Dr.

Sutherland, in the dressing room later, still was concerned over the spotty play at times of his Panthers. "And Notre Dame coming up next Saturday," he mused. "Kern is to be congratulated. He's done a remarkable job at Tech. It was a typical Pitt-Tech game.

I'm glad it's over. I thought the back-field of Kopcsak, Carnelly, Condit and Lee did very well. It was strong, aggressive and performed excellently on the defense. Kaw-chak, left guard, was the outetand-ing lineman for Tech." In the Tech dressing room. Kern managed to smile in defeat, but the injuries suffered by Coleman Kopcsak and Ray Carnelly took all the "pep" out of him.

"Friendlander broke his leg in Notre Dame game. Now Kopcsak and Carnelly are in the hospital. They may be lost for several weeks. I don't know where I'm going to get a quarterback. Everything that's happened to Tech in the last ten years seems to have happened to us this season.

"Pitt has a good, tough team. I thought Stebbins and Cassiano were outstanding in the Pitt backfield, with Lezouski, the ace of the line. It was Lezouski who blocked Lee's kick early in the game and gave Pitt the chance to score the first touchdown. And Lezouski made about the first six or seven tackles. John Michelosen, Pitt quarterback, and acting captain, came into the Tech dressing room to personally congratulate Kern.

He carried the ball used in the game. Which was his, because he was captain and because Pitt won. Celebrites at the game included Vince Barnet, movie star, currently on a personal appearance tour of the East. Barnet visited both dressing rooms after the game. He was Pitt rooter No.

One in the Rose Bowl game last New Year's and knows Kern well. Gerry Nugent, President of the Philadelphia National League Baseball team, occupied a box, as did Young Corbett, former welterweight champion, here to fight Billy Conn, Nov. 8. Breaks came thick and fast at the start. First, Ray Carnelly fumbled and "Bomber" Shaw recovered for Pitt on the Tech 19, with the game about five minutes old.

Prtrick fumbled right back, Pyzynski plopping on the ball for the Tartans on the Tech 18. The entire left side of the Pitt line, led by Lezouski, bore down on Whitey Lee when the Tech fullback tried to punt a few minutes later. The ball bounced to the 3 yard stripe, where it became Pitts possession. Patrick lugged it over. Carnegie is fast becoming known as the most dangerous team ia the country on the first play of the second quarter.

Three weeks ago, the Tartans cracked open tne second period against Notre Dame with a tremendous forward pass, Condit to Matelan, which rolled Tech from its own 38 to the Irish 2. Napotnik bucked it across to give Tech a 7-0 lead. The touchdown helped beat Notre Dame. Yesterday, on the first play of the second quarter, two sophomores teamed up to cross Pitt's goal line for the first time this season. Pete Moroz on a reverse from Leo Napotnik tossed a beauty to End Bob Howarth, another sophomore, who took the ball on the five and raced across.

Not an enemy player was near him. Kopcsak's extra point boosted Tech into the lead at 7 to 6, until Just a few seconds remained of the first half, wnen, with Pitt frittering away its chances for a touchdown, Frank Souchak came off the bench to placekick a goal which barely dropped over the cross-bar from the 25-yard line. Those three points gave the Panthers the lead, 9 to 7, an advantage they never relinquished. Carnegie caught a tough break in the third quarter when Center John Schmidt passed the ball far over Lee's head on a fourth-down punt attempt, the ball rolling one yard past the end zone, where Lee fell on it, Pitt collecting a safety. The Tartans moved a long way for their final touchdown.

Starting on their own 15, they came upfield on passes and runs, finally making the distance when Gene Rosenthal turned in a miraculous catch in the end zone. Jimmy Robertson, one of the great halfbacks in Carnegie's his tory, and the fellow who scored the touchdown in Tech's first victory over Pitt in 1924, was one of the timekeepers along with Dr. Packy McParland former football manager at Pitt." Add funny sights: Guard Johnny Kawchak, Tech, sits on ths bench wearing spectacles. When ht goes into a game, he takes off the glasses. and hands them to a teammate.

This year there is a worthy successor in Bob (Twenty Grand) Davis, one of the finest in Dixie. still were hunting their seats when Jack Dodd broke off left tackle, and, with three blockers clearing his way, blazed 65 yards for a score. Lowell English booted the extra point to make it 7 to 0 and that was the ball game.

The victory, achieved in amazingly warm weather for this prairie section in late October, kept Nebraska riding along with the select group of major unbeaten teams, and revived the Rose Bowl talk that flared after the Cornhuskers had opened their 1937 program with a win over mighty Minnesota. It was Dodd's electrifying run, on a shovel pass from Quarterback John Howell, that won the game for the Cornhuskers and it was the magnificent play of the line that saved it. Saved it, not once, but half a dozen times as Indiana roared up and down the field. But each time the Hoosiers, appearing very sinister, indeed, in their pants and jerseys of midnight black, moved into the scoring zone, the Cornhusker line reared up and hurled them back. Four Plunges Roll Off The big boys from the plains made their most stirring stand late in the second period when Indiana, passing and plunging, moved to within eight yards of a score, with four tries for a touchdown the Hoosiers found the enemy line invulnerable, and lost the ball without having advanced more than a yard.

The figures show how lustily Ne braska had to defend throughout most of the afternoon. Indiana made 14 first downs against two. outgained Nebraska by a ratio of 4 to 1 rushing, and completed 11 passes against two for the Cornhuskers. Indiana, in fact, led in everything but touchdowns and yards lost by penalties. Nebraska did not make even a gesture toward another score until late in the fourth period when Fullback Corby Davis fumbled and Richardson of Nebraska recovered on Indiana's 22-yard line.

Andrews then passed to Dohrmann, Corn husker captain for the day, on the Hoosier's 6-yard stripe. With the stands calling for a clinching score. Halfback Callihan fumbled on tne 2-yard line, and Indiana recovered. Right After Kickoff Nebraska's touchdown eame on the first running play of the game. Indiana kicked off to the Cornhuskers 35-yard stripe and then came the fireworks.

On the opening play, Quarterback Howell took the pass from center, flipped a short one back of the line to Dodd, and that gentleman, a let- terman in track, was off. Position. NEBRASKA. INDIANA. L.

Slippery Rock Kicks Beat Grove City Eleven, 10-6 Special to The Pitt.ihurph Press GROVE CITY, Oct. 30 "Bo" Meals' right foot gave Slippery Rock a 10-6 victory over a scrappy Grove City eleven here today in a game that aroused all the traditional rivalry between the schools.

Both clubs scored touchdowns but it was Meals' 38-yard field goal, and a placement for extra point that represented the winning margin. An improved Crimson eleven waged Its fight deep in Slippery Rock territory through the first period, but the Grovers weakened and yielded three points before the half, as Meals' kicked a placement. In the third period 13 points were counted on two successive plays. Jim Anderson, Crimson fullback, intercepted a Rocket pass and ran 55 yards to the scoring zone, where he went over on a line plunge.
