10 Like Luckite, who showed a year ago that it could be done, Eastern Shore today won the International Gold Cup steeplechase, completing a double in the two feature events of the third annual Rolling Rock Hunt races. The big bay gelding owned by Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark, of West-bury, L. who was made one of the top favorites by his triumph in the Rolling Rock Hunt Cup Wednesday, today fulfilled every hope of his backers as he romped in eight lengths ahead of Soldier's Fate in the gruelling three and a half mile race over Rolling Rock's brush course.

Luckite won the two features in the 1935 meeting. Eastern Shore, carrying 152 pounds, was given a masterful ride by J. V. Davis, gentleman rider who piloted him to victory in the Rolling Rock Cup. He was pulled up in the vlast 100 yards to pass under the wire in 7 minutes, 46 seconds.

Soldier's Fate, owned by Campbell Weir of Wilmington, was ridden by G. Byrne and finished several lengths ahead of the top-weighted What Have You, owned by Frank M. Gould, of New York, and ridden by Mr. P. D.

Reid. The only Pittsburgh horse in the Gold Cup, Mrs. Simon T. Patterson's Disport, was piloted into fourth place, but outside the money, by J. Nichols.

Eastern Shore, Soldier's Fate and What Have You, by taking down the first three places, qualified to race next spring in the English Grand National, world's most famous steeplechase, at Aintree, Eng. L. W. Robinson, Forbis, victim of an unfortunate collision with Soldier's Fate in the Rolling Rock Cup, set the early pace in the Gold Cup, leading Eastern Shore, The Mole and Soldier's Fate in that Continued On Page 2 MICHIGAN Pitt almost had a touchdown in game at Columbus, but the Buckeyes rose up and stopped Halfback Harold Stebbins on the four-yard line.

By LESTER BIEDERMAN The Spartans and the Tartans were reckless college boys but the Tartans of Carnegie Tech grew careless so the Spartans of Michigan State capitalized on the lapse, turning it into a forward pass that ate up 49 yards and brought the only touchdown of their meeting at the Stadium yesterday.

So into the record books goes, Michigan State 7, Carnegie Tech 0. And for the third time since the schools began against each other, the Skibos failed to score a point on the Michiganders, losing two decisions out of three. The first game in 1933 ended 0-0. In 1934, Michigan State won 13-0. A crowd of 15,000 fans, with as many more scared away by the threatening weather and the lure of the Pitt-Ohio State battle on the radio, had little to enthuse over in the vast open spaces of the football saucer atop the hill a Oakland.

Both teams, noticeably Carnegie, sputtered and fussed and fumed for the greater part of the game. Finally, late in the third quarter, a load of good things came Michigan State's way and they hooked both arms around the opportunity and settled the tussle, then and there. Carnegie Tech had taken control a few minutes before the Spartan touchdown, when Matelan intercepted Pingel's pass on the Tech 35 and brought it back 25 yards to the Spartan 40. Young Jerry might have broken loose had his playmates picked him up and given him some help, but he ran almost alone and was forced out. Carnelly threw a pass on first down but Cal Coolidge was there instead of a Tartan and it was Michigan State's ball on her own 34.

At this point. Coach Charley Bachman sent in a fresh eleven, his varsity Lightning-fast Steve Sebo rolled along for seven yards. Al Agett tore off 15 yards and a first down on the Tech 41. Ziegal flipped a lateral to Agett, but Babe Patt broke through and tossed Mr. Al for an eight-yard loss.

A forward pass was batted down. So. Agett faded back, spied Sebo all by himself deep in Tech territory and shot a perfect pass, that little Stevie grabbed on the 20 and raced straight ahead for the goal line. Matelan tried to nab Sebo on the 10, but Sebo merely flitted by. Sebo was very much uncovered on the play and had nothing to do but Continued On Page 4 Tech Statistics TKC HH 5-i 3( 8 1 5 4 3 4 I 45.

More than 55.000 fans saw Coach 1 on him.

Harvard Downs Brown, 28 to 0 Crimson Scores One-Sided Victory 3y The United Press CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 10 Harvard scored a one-sided but unimpressive victory today over a sluggish Brown University eleven. The score was 28-0. A 34-yard dash, a 40-yard march and two short stabs accounted for Harvard's four touchdowns.

But for the breaks, the Crimson would have scored two more touchdowns within 60 seconds of each other in the second quarter. Lineup: Position. HARVARD. BROWN. petrone Battles Can no Turcone Wisbaeh Beaubian Larkowich Hall Kaptein Atwell Ostertrard L.E Winter L.T.

Oct. 10 Occidental College of California, scoring in every quarter but the last, defeated Mexico City University, 19-6, the first half of the Ohio State Bernie Bierman's lads romp to their 19th consecutive victory tying the late Knute Rockne's record at Notre Dame. Minnesota still has another victory to go to equal Notre Dame's all-time football record of 20, however, for the Ramblers added their 20th straight triumph after Rockne's untimely death. Minnesota won, brut it won by the skin of its teeth. Tonight, Andy Uram, colorful Gopher halfback, is a hero in the eyes of football fans.

In the last minute of play, when all seemed hopeless, he took a backward pass from Wilkinson and twisted and squirmed his wray through a broken field 79 yards to a touchdown. Wilkinson converted. Here's what happened in the story-book finish: The Gophers had been stopped within two yards of the goal late in the fourth period by a stone wall that an Army couldn't have passed over. Nebraska had intercepted a third down forward pass for a touchback to take the ball on its 20-yard line. Cardwell knocked off 23 yards on the next play.

JOCK SUTHERLAND Head Pitt Coach COLUMBUS, Oct. 10 We played and defeated a great football team today when we won, 6 to 0, from Ohio State, and I wouldn't be human if I didn't feel a sense of elation and a pride in the Pitt team. It was a game in which line play dominated from beginning to end. Our touchdown in the fourth quarter was the direct result of magnificent blocking on the part of our forwards, together with a valuable block by Chick erneo, our sophomore quarterback. Pitt's tackles did their, job well.

They knew they had an additional Dr. Sutherland res ponsibility because during part of the game we had two ends on the field who did not have the advantage of the experience which comes with major games. But the tackles behaved nobly, and I might add so did the ends in question. Bill Stapulis turned in a good game at fullback. Beth offensively and on the defense, he gave everything he had.

Beat a Great Sutherland State before the game and at the finish we knew that we had not been mistaken. The way in which the Buckeye line came back in the third quarter was something a coach can appreciate more than anyone else. It piled us up in a way that I don't like to recall, and the fact that we were able to break through, finally, in fourth quarter is merely another tribute to the gameness of this Pitt team.

Ohio State showed a well-coached conception of the latest in offensive football. I shudder to think what might have happened if Jumping Joe Williams had broken away or if Tippy Dye had been able to shoot one of those laterals to a ball-carrier who was in the clear. It was only by being on our toes for 60 minutes that we won. Pitt Statistics OHIO PI.AYS PITT .5. First downs 1 4....
