SMITH Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 31 Pitt and Fordham searched tha length and breadth of the Polo Grounds in quest of a touchdown, a field goal or any of football's scoring accessories, this afternoon, but none was forthcoming, so the second game of the series between the Panther and the Ram ended as did the first, last year in a scoreless tie. Fifty-seven thousand enthnlled witnesses banked the steep slopes or the home of the Giants to watch the previously undefeated and untied Maroon try its hand at throwing a halter around the Panthers, who had high pressured Notre Dame into submission only a week ago. They saw a game that was fought with such a fierce intensity by both sides that at no time did the back-fields outshine the rushlines.

Thus was a match that was decided from tackle to tackle, and along that scrimmage line there was little to choose. Pitt had one golden chance to score, hurling Fordham back to the three-yard line in the third period, but there was iron in the Ram backbones when the time came that it had to be there, and with a surging drive, the Panthers were halted just when there appeared to be no way of shutting the door in their faces. Rams Never Threaten In spite of a belated drive that was as rousing as it was unexpected, Fordham never actually was a threatening factor. Late in the By CLAIRE M. Bl'RCKY Point after touchdown: Purdue Cecil Isbell, placement.

Missed point after touchdown: Carnegie Tech Coleman Kopcsak, placement. Without a great deal of description, there is practically the' whole story of Carnegie Techs fifth football battle with the Purdue University Boilermakers, which was watched by approximately 10,000 persons yesterday in the Stadium. At least it shows the margin by which the Boilermakers scored a 7-6 victory over the Tartans, the fourth win in the series lor the Big Ten eleven. Tech finished up just three feet to the left of a tie score. One yard more to the right on Kopcsak's placement attempt would have brought a seventh point, to deadlock the issue.

In a situation like this it took a leftist movement, to let the Hoosiers out with a triumph. Tech battled as stubbornly as ever and for 50 minutes of bruising line play, held off the vaunted Purdue offensive. Blue-shirted monkey wrenches continually dropped into the Boilermaker machine, but the Hoosiers finally eliminated the trouble for a brief two minutes in the fourth quarter. This was long enough for them to drive 50 yards for a touchdown and the extra point. After that, the Tartans again stalled the Purdue attack for the rest of the game.

The Cadets wasted little time scoring in the first quarter, pounding along for 62-yards on the initial touchdown. Monk Meyer fired a pass to Ryan, that was good for 37 yards and the six-pointer.

The Red Raiders stopped another Army drive in the second quarter by intercepting a pass on the five. The Cadets drove right back to the at each other near midlield, except for one chance that each wasted in the first half. Anthony Ippolito. a hippity fullback who punctured the strong Tech line where the heralded Cecil Isbell had tried and failed, put the steam in the Boilermakers on their half-the-length-of-the-field march. Big John Drake, the power house runner, and Ben Medley, a shifty-half back, gave a lot of help in the there they came to a quick stop.

It was their first excursion beyond Pitfs 40-yard stripe, and it brought a roaring demand for a touchdown from the crowd, but try as they might the Maroon couldn't find the right answers. With Edmund Franco, a left tackle who is built on the order of a fortress, holding his side of the line intact, the Panthers early discovered a weakness at the opposite side of the line, and it was through this territory that they did most of their parading. That spot came very nearly proving the undoing of the Fordham cause, but with so heroic backing up by the secondary, it was kept tightly enough closed to stave off any disaster.

K. Rebele, History's Longest Victory Streak Ended By Wildcats The teams were locked in a bitter, defensive battle which seemed likely to end in a scoreless tie when the first break came which set the stage for Northwestern 's touchdown. Minnesota had just hurled back a desperate Northwestern drive, which fizzled when Don Geyer's attempted field goal from the 19-yard line went wide by a few feet. Minnesota took the ball on its 20-yard line. Andy Uram was smashed down for no gain.

Then the Gophers drew a 5-yard offside On the next play the slippery ball oozed out of Jules Alfonso's hands, and Dewitt Gibson, Northwestern's 225-pound left tackle from Perry, Iowa, pounced on the ball on Minnesota's 13 yard line. Don Heap. Wildcat left halfback, started off Minnesota's right tackle, but the wet ball got away from him and he recovered for a 2-yard loss.
