By CARL HUGHES 1 Faced with the prospects don't learn soon to do something besides lose, the Steeler- Cardinals will try for the fourth time to win their first game of the season when they meet the New York Giants at Forbes Field this afternoon. ON THE PITT BENCH for the Notre Dame game yesterday, sat Yeoman Rita Hanson of As was the case last Sunday when they dropped a the SPARS, probably the first woman who ever had the honor of sitting with the Panthers. She was there at the invitation of Jane Flaccus, Sewickley socialite, who bought a war bond for the privilege of having the sideline ticket.

The bond, sold by the Sports War Bond Committee, was one of many that were bought by fans. Miss Flaccus named Yeoman Hanson to occupy the seat and she looks as interested as Coach Clark Shaughnessy (foreground) as Boffi Stand Unbeaten Illinois Ties Great Lakes, 26-26, In See-Saw Thriller GREAT LAKES, 111., Sept. 30 (UP) Matching speed and fighting freshmen against power and experience Illinois battled veteran Great Lakes' football team to a 26-26 tie today before 25,000 servicemen and women. Tear Bears' Defense Holds in 6-0 Win Over UCLA BERKELEY, Sept. 30 (UP) The University of California football team.

pushed all over the field by heavier UCLA Bruin juggernaut, staved off a last-second threat which ended on their three-yard line to protect a first quarter score and win a 6-0 victory today before 45,000 fans. The lone score of the game came in the opening minutes when the Bear line smashed throueh the Bruin defense men to block one of Waterfleld's punts on the UCLA 34-yard stripe. The ball rolled to the 24 and there Center Roger Harding scooped it up and bee-lined to pay dirt without any interference on the part of the Bruins. It was a great defensive play by the center of the Bear line, featuring Harding, and Guards Dick Madigan and Bill Hachten, which ruined many a Bruin thrust. The hard-driving Bruins picked up 235 yards from scrimmage compared with the 69 garnered by California.

The Ulcans gained 87 yards from passes to zero by the Bears. Troans Win, 18-6, Over Pacific LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30 (UP) An erratic University of Southern California team powered its way to an 18 to 6 victory over an out classed but fighting College of Pacific squad before 30,000 fans in Memorial Coliseum today. The Trojans threatened often, but numerous fumbles and penalties bogged down the USC attack deep in Pacific territory. Coach Amos Alonzo Stage's men threatened but once when Jim Turner picked a pass by Jim Hardy out of midair in the third period and lumbered to the USC six-yard line, where he was nailed by Hardy.

Minnesota Tops Nebraska, 39-0 MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 30 (UP) Huskier, better seasoned Minnesota belted Nebraska, 39 to 0, today In the latter's season opener, played before a crowd of 21,876. Minnesota scored two touchdowns in the first period, three in the second and one in the third. Nebraska never came within scoring distance of the Minnesota goal. It was evident from the start that Nebraska, with a preponderance of 17-year-olds and 4-F players, would be unable to stop the Minnesota team.

Two plays after the kickoff, Wayne Williams, Minnesota halfback, intercepted a Nebraska pass on his 47-yard line, and seven plays later, Halfback Herb Braun carried the baH over for a touchdown. Williams' kick was low. A Nebraska fumble on its 26-yard line later in the period gave Minnesota another opening. Three plays later the ball was on the Nebraska five-yard line, and Matt Sutton scored on the next play. Williams kicked the point.

Minnesota went on a scoring spree in the second period when a 46-yard run by Matt Nolan and a 49-yard dash through right tackle by Phil McManus scored two touchdowns. Another Minnesota touchdown in the second came after Dick Van Dusen, center, intercepted a Nebraska pass on the visitors' 24-yard stripe and Hudson Neeley carried the ball over the line on the next play.

Sept. 30 (Special) West Virginia University's freshmen-studded football team flashed some spectacular scoring plays to wallop the Navy trainees from Case before a crowd of more than 5000 this afternoon at Mountaineer Field, 32-7. The passing and snakehipped running of Jim Walthall, freshman halfback from Princeton, aided the Mountaineer attack as they tallied in every period of the contest, staged in a drizzle of rain. Wal thall scored two of the touchdowns and passed for another while turn ing in one of the best demonstra tions seen on Mountaineer Field in some time. Walthall opened the scoring late in the first period when he passed from the Case 44 to Leo Kesling, who took the ball on the 10 and ran the rest of the way.

Kesling intercepted a Case pass a minute after the kickofT to set the stage for another Mountaineer score early in the second quarter. A pass from Walthall to Gene Crook-shank gave the Gold and Blue a first down on the 32. On the next play Walthall shook loose and ran for the touchdown. Fumble Sets Up Score Freshman Harold Kemps' recov ery of a Case fumble on the 22 set up the third Mountaineer score near the close of the half. Three plays later Walthall took a lateral to make it first down on the nine.

John Lucente banged away for three plays at the line and then Jim Bowers took a lateral! and skirted left end for the touchdown. Case came right back to tally its lone touchdown before the half ended. With first down on the West Virginia 46 Elmer Hunyor picked up three yards on a tackle play and then took a pass from Bill Lund, Case's ace fullback to score. Hunyor took the heave on the 30 and ran the remaining distance. Lund carried over the point to make it 19-7.

Walthall Goes 60 Yards West Virginia struck back quickly at-the beginning of the second half as the sensational Walthall on the first play after the kickoff wiggled through right tackle, moved over to the sideline and shook off several tacklers to go all the way to pay dirt. A 60-yard gallop, it was the most spectacular play of the game. Emil Rader, freshman, accounted for the final West Virignia score early in the last period. The lineups: eers, 15-12. Position W.

Badgers Nip Northwestern EVAN6TON, 111., Sept. 30 (UP) -Despite the loss of two touch' downs that were called back because player was offside, Wisconsin's Badgers made their debut into the 1944 football season today with 6 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats before a crowd of 35,000 persons at Dyche Stadium. The score could just as easily been 19-6, as Wisconsin, long with out a dependable passer, found the answer in Freshman Jug Girard, who sparked the aerial attack and added the winning point with his accurate placement after the sole Badger touchdown. Girard's rifle arm also displayed a potent, but vain, power when he hurled two long passes that put the receiver across the end zone, but the spectacular aerials were wiped off the scoreboard by the off-side penalties. Northwestern's only score came in the second period when Halfback Johnny Yungwirth tossed a seven- yard pass to End Duane Sickels, who snagged it on the goal line and stepped across.

Bob Funderburg's kick misfired a cruicial error that later proved to spell the difference between a tie and a defeat for Northwestern. The lineups: Pos. NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN L.E Sickels Weber L.T.

Youthful Penn, averaging little more than 18 years of age, scored twice in the opening period and once in the final period to register an upset and successfully open its 68th football season. Duke's lone tally came In the second period, with the Southern Conference Champions attempts at further scoring checked by a strong Penn line. Penn Scores on Second Play Penn lost no time in chalking up its first score, crossng the goal line on the second play of the game. Fullback Ed Lawless took the opening kickoff from Frank Irwin and returned it 33 yards to the Duke 45. Halfback Al Sica then tossed 30 yards to Halfback Tony Minisi, Newark, N.

JM who caught the ball on the 20 and went over unmolested. Another aerial thrust gave Penn its second tally in the waning seconds of the period. Taking the ball on its own 40, Penn marched 53 yards to Duke's 7 where End Wayne Helman took Minisi's pass in the end zone. George Opel missed both extra-point tries. Bad Kick Aids Dukes Duke scored in the second period when a bad kick by Fullback Harry Edenborn put Duke on Penn's 18.

An immediate threat vanished when a fumble cost Duke nine yards. Fullback Tom Davis carried 10 yards to Penn's 17. Davis then tossed 17 yards to Gordon Carver who snared the ball in the end zone. Hal Rae-ther added the extra point. A pass interception which carried to the Duke 49 by Sica set the stage for Penn's final score.

With Terry Southard bearing the brunt, Penn drove to the Duke 9 where Minisi took a reverse from Sica and scored standing up. Opel failed to convert. Position PENN 18 Sovitsky DUKE 7 Jones Irwin Wolfe Crowder Knolts Kerns Harry Krisza Kennard Carver Davis L.E. L.T. L.G.

In all their games thus far, the weakest link has been an inadequate defense if there was any at all against passes. And the locals scoring bogged down because they couldn't get their own aerial attack functioning. Since the Steelers entered the league, they have won only four of their 19 games with New York. One was a tie and the Giants copped 14. In combination with Philadelphia last year, the boys from Rooney U.

broke even, losing one and winning one. Army Crushes Tar Heels, 46-0 WEST POINT, N. Sept. 30 (UP) A big, bruising Army team, showing all the signs of being one the Military Academy's best football outfits in years, easily defeated an inexperienced but game bunch youngsters from North Carolina University today, scoring in each period for a 46-0 victory. North Carolina battled the Cadets on almost even terms early in the first period.

But the Army began uncorking an aerial attack which clicked mighty good for this early the season. Doug Kenna, Army veteran, tossed a 30-yard pass to Halfback Dale Hall and a second later Hall romped over, with the first touchdown. That set the pattern for the afternoon. Coach Earl H. (Red) Blaik, who has said that this year's Army team, is "definitely better" than that of last year, tried all sorts of combinations today, but his man, Glenn Davis was his chief scorer.

Davis' best feat of the afternoon was his 72-yard touchdown run. That came on the first play after the second-half kick off. Davis, who was an in-an-outer last year, ap-l peared to be right back in old time form. Position ARMY NORTH CAROLINA L.E Pitzcr Godwin L.T. Hoyes Kinsey L.G Green Golding St.

Weout. Denison Whips Bethany, 40-12 GRANVILLE, Sept. 30 (Special) Bethany College of West Virginia was humbled, 40-12, here this afternoon by a superior Big Red aggregation. The Denesians are undefeated this season, the only mar on their record being a 7-7 tie with Oberlin. Denison scored almost at will throughout the contest.

Their first score came on the third play of the game, when Glenn Culp passed to cim vatter from the 37-yard line. Bethany then scored on a 36-yard pass from Joe Mocha to Bob White Frank Lebart scored for Denison on a 46-yard plunge through the middle of the Bison's forward wall. Bethany scored their second and final touchdown early in the second quarter on a two-yard plunge by cm ureesen The rest of the Big Red's scoring was accomplished by a one-yard piunge by Lebart, an eight-vard pass from Culp to Meacham and a ien-yara run by Chet Brown. uneup: Position BETHANY Arraphiotis Dreesen DENISON L.K.

Today's encounter is a non league affair, but even though it won't show in the standings, the rivalry will not be diminished in any way.

Co-fcoaches Walt Kiesling and Phil Handler of the Pitt Cards feel that their charges Steve Owen need a shot-in-the-arm tefore diving into the league schedule at Green Bay next Sunday, and there's nothing that would pep them up more than a convincing triumph over the Giants. Halfbacks Missing Chief obstacle in the Steelers' path is the probable absence from the lineup of their starting halfbacks, Bobby Thurbon and Johnny Butler, both of whom are out with injuries. Although they may see a little action, the ailing members will be replaced in the opening lineup by George Magulick and Bernie Semes. The double-setback in that department leaves Johnny Martin, who has been going in as a spot-punter thus far, as the only reserve halfback. Stout Steve Owen, veteran head of the Giant strategy board, lost heavily from his last year's squad, but from past experience, the locals know that they'll have to face a well -drilled team.

Stout Steve always manages to come up with a winner, and last year, when his Giants weren't given much of a chance, they forced Washington Into a playoff for the Eastern title. Paschal Giants' Hope Main hope of the invading Goth-amites is the running ability of Bill Paschal, who copped the National Football League's ground gaining championship last season his first as a pro. Sir William just returned to the Giant ranks, as did Ward Cuff, their veteran back and place-kicker, who was discharged from the service for medical reasons.

Sept. 30 (UP) Dartmouth and Holy Cross fought a battle of aerials to a 6-6 tie today before 8000 fans who journeyed to Hanover for the 13th renewal of this 41- year-old New England gridiron rivalry.

The Indians started scoring midway in the third quarter. Slick Spinning Lennie Robinson took the ball on his own 18, punched his way 15 yards, then took Britt Lewis' pass to bring the ball to Holy Cross' 47. Here Lewis hurled a 35-yard aerial to Gerry Peck who raced the remaining 20 yards to score standing up. The try for the point by Lewis was wide. The Crusaders came back to launch their own aerial attack in the final frame with Ted Morasky doing the heaving and Ray Sullivan the receiving.

The tying touchdown came when Morasky completed his third straight aerial to Sullivan in the end zone to climax a 65-yard march. Nester's boot for the conversion was wide. Both teams lost several scoring chances on fumbles deep in enemy territory. Dartmouth also lost what might have been a winning three points when Lewis tried for a field goal from his own eight in the second period but missed by a wide margin.

Irish 58. Pitt 0 Notre Dame Whips Pitt (Continued from Preceding Page) knocked down by Bernie Sniscak in the end zone, but the second was good. Kelly took the ball on Pitt's 25 and turned on the speed. Not a Panther had a chance. The ones Robert couldn't out-maneuver he out-ran; And then he missed the conversion and Notre Dame was off to a 6-0 lead.

Kelly retired shortly thereafter, but when a fumble by Sniscak was covered by Fullback Elmer Angs-man on Pitt's 15 yard stripe early in the second quarter, the blanket came off in a hurry and out came the Flossmoor Flyer again. In four plays, he had his second touchdown a 15-yard flip by Dan-cewicz on which Kelly completely fooled Mike Banasick on the far Side of the goal line. Once more the conversion was wide. Pass Sets Up Third Score The third touchdown, in the same quarter, was generated by a 22 yard toss to Guthrie that brought the play up to Pitt's 20. Kelly drove for nine and after a penalty had added five more and Maggioli had failed, Mister Big poured him self through from five yards out On this occasion his conversion was perfect.

That was the score at the half 19-0 but in one minute and 40 seconds of the third quarter, Kelly had done it all over again. This was his most spectacular act an 84-yard run in which he started to his left, broke through a cordon of would-be tacklers on the sideline and reversed his field to leave string of prone Panthers behind Once he had passed the 50-yard line the issue was settled. His resultant placekick gave him his 26th point. Now Kelly called it a day. He had carried 14 times for 232 yards 138 on 11 running plays, 52 on passes and one 42-yard return of a punt.

Touchdowns From All Directions By this time the Panthers were hopelessly out of control and toucn downs were coming at them from all directions. Reading from left to right, the scorers were Bill O'Connor, George Terlep, Joe Gas parella, the Vandergrift lad who is right behind Dancewicz in the quarterback department, Nemeth and Mark Limont, a broth er of Paul, who was outstanding on the '43 eleven. Terlep and Nemeth added the extra points in Kelly's absence and Gasparella attended to the Kick ing off. Weird Third Quarter O'Connor, Terlep and Gasparella were the other touchdown-makers in the weird third quarter, while Nemeth and Limont waited until the final period for theirs. They were made on both runs and passes in fact, almost everything the Irish did they did well and to the point.

Six intercepted passes and nine fumbles, of which Notre Dame picked up a half played hob with Pitt's attempt to stay in the game. Only once, in the second quarter, did the Panthers show a fleeting spark. Then they went from their own 35 to the Irish 23, but Dancewicz flagged down a forward pass by George Freese and the rally was killed off almost as quickly as it had started. A last minute flurry of passing by-Joe Kielb was good for a matter of 30 yards or so, but by that time nothing could possibly happen that mattered.

But Illinois' famed "stop watch" backfield led by Freshman Halfback Paul Patterson and Buddy Young kicked up its heels to take a half-time lead of 19-6 and then came back in the fourth quarter to turn a Great Lakes' fumble into a touchdown. Halted by errors of omission and commission in the third quarter, Illinois was badly outplayed as Great Lakes scored 20 points to add up a seven-point lead. However, Substitute Tackle Walt Versen recovered Jim Mello's fumble in the last half of the final quarter to give Illinois the ball on Great Lakes' 30-yard line. Five plays moved the ball to the 10 and Greenwood passed to Pat terson who caught it on the five and carried it over. Orville Hall, third-string full back, kicked the extra point to tie up the game with three minutes to go.

In the closing minutes, Great Lakes drove to Illinois 21, but Illinois Quarterback Don Green wood intercepted Jim Youel's pass on the 2-yard-line to close out a free-scoring game which gave both teams a record of two victories and one tie.
