Pete Dawkins fired up his lethargic Army teammates with an 80-yard punt runback and a pair of 41) and 48-yard pass catches today to score the first three' touchdowns in a victory over Villanova. The triumph sent the Cadets into their traditional clash with Navy, Nov. 29, with their best record since 1950. Army, ranked third this week by the United Tress International board of coaches, has won seven games and played a tie with Pittsburgh.

While the rest of the Army team seemed to be playing under wraps so as not to tip off any Navy scouts in the stands, Dawkins unhesitatingly showed off all his versatile offensive talents before a sellout crowd of 27,250 that racked little Michie Stadium.

15-It seemed that the main problem confrontin" Pitt here today was to run up enough I on supposedly-outclassed Nebraska to impress the various bowl committees. The problem never arose. Nebraska played the thunderstruck Panthers right off their feet and at the end Pitt was frantically throwing passes to get a tie frantically and unsuccessfully. Bill Kalldcn's last completion was 11 yards short of the goal line and Nebraska wound up with a II-6 victory. Chances are it will be a long, bowl-less winter for Pitt.

Champs Of Pennsylvania Nebraska took tfy field with a five-game losing streak, a line that averaged well under 200 pounds and a backficld composed of daredevil half-pints. Nebraska left the field with a good claim to the major-college fool ball championship of Pennsylvania. One of the two previous games the Cornhuskers had won this year was at Penn Slate's expense and by almost the same score U1-7J. Pitt, standing 5-3-1 now, will play Penn State for second place on Thanksgiving Day. Nebraska's osvn fans thought so little of the Corn-huskers' chances that only 23,000 of them came to ob-serve what they fully expected to be a mismatch, if not an execution.

The day was gloomy and overcast but with never a trace of the snow and slush predicted by the U. S. Weather Bureau and by Pitt Coach John Michelosen. Nebraska Cautious Snow and slush might have helped the Pilt cause. Nebraska, playing it close to the vest, kicked on third down, waited for the breaks and then made the most of them with a tricky attack that featured two open ends, a halfback throwing left-handed passes, and halfback passes on lake lieiu-goal attempts.

All Ihrough the first quarter, the Cornhuskers were satisfied to hold Pitt at bay, stopping the Panthers with a pass interception on the 31-yard line and a defensive stand on the 27 that piled up two successive plays for no Continued on Page 1. Pitt Party Stunned By Setback Coming back on Pitt's chartered plane from Lincoln last nihr, coaches, players and others In the party still found it hard to believe the Panthers had lost to Nebraska. Athletic Director Tom Hamilton seemed to think the publicity about Pitt's bowl chances had lulled 1he team into a false sense of security. "We were silting ducks for this situation," be said. "The trap was set and we fell Into it and we didn't come back hard enough.

It never should have happened." Coach John Michelosen refused to say it was the most disappointing game one of his Pitt teams ever had played but admitted, "It was disappointing, all right, in that I thought the boys wanted 1o win. They didn't plav like it." Backficld Coach Vic Fusia said: "We just weren't there, It, was too easy. There vvas no concentration."

15 Penn State today fashioned a set of handcuffs for Tom Greene, Holy Cross iet-age forward passer, and when it was found they were a perfect fit, the result was inevitable. The Crusaders are a one-armed team that arm belongs to Greene and in the rain, mist and fog that besieged Beaver Field, plus strong Lions rushing and a tight screen on all defenders, it was no trouble at all for the States to belabor their opponents, 320. Greene and Ills (wo occasional stand-ins, John Moyni-han and Ken Koniod.inski, were able to complete only three of 15 passes for a total of 15 yards. The victory, which was racked up under miserable weather conditions, assured the young men of Mt. Nittany their 20th winning season in succession, their ninth under Coach Rip Engle.

They are now 5-3-1 and no matter what happens against Pitt on Thanksgiving Day the campaign already has gone into the ledger in black ink. For Holy Cross, it was the first defeat since they lost to the Panthers, 17-9, in the opening game. The outcome wasn't in doubt too long this afternoon. The Lions reeled off three touchdowns with methodical rushing, one on a long pass and a fifth by way of a 58-yard return of a punt. Along the ground they were good for 271 yards as against 110, but their defenses were as vital as their attack.

The Crusaders were so thoroughly contained that they were seldom in a position to play any except the most cautious type of football. Holy Cross was bedeviled by injuries. It lost Halfback Bill Hayes with a concussion in the first period, Capt. Jim Ilealy was sidelined for a time after being shaken up and even Greene himself was a third-quarter casualty. He had to leave the game for many minutes to recover from.

The punishment he had to absorb. Hayes was sent to University Hospital for observation but was said to be in good condition tonight. Lions Use Everyone Every able-bodied Penn Stater got into action, among them being a collection of 33 hacks who, as Coach Eddie Anderson of Holy Cross said afterward, "All looked to me to be about on the same level I mean there wasn't a poor one in the lot." Jim Kerr, a sophomore from St. Clairsville, topped the touchdown makers with a pair. Andy Moconyi, Al Jacks of Pittsburgh and Don Jonas chipped in with the others.

The triumph also balanced fh West Virginia record at 4-4-1 for the first time, since September. The defeat made William Mary's mark 16-2. Lewis, who had been frustrated at times in each of seven games following the opening 66-22 romp over Richmond, played his third-stringers far more than the regulars in this one. With strong Syracuse coming up in the next Saturday at Morgantown, Hie rest was welcomed.

A fourth-string fullback whose name wasn't even in the program, Bob Lively, wound up as the Mountaineers' leading ground gainer with 57 yards. Quarterbacks Dick Longfellow and Danny Williams were next with 51 and 49 yards, respectively.

Before the game, Westminster was an overwhelming choice to complete its fourth unbeaten season in the Past seven years. The Titans had already won the West Penn Conference title and had beaten Geneva, a team that handled Tech, 40-6. The Tartans, who took things in hand early, stopped five different Westminster penetrations in Die last half. Jack Bestwick, Titan quarterback rated among the best passers in the district, threw 13 times and completed three. These three were of the short screen variety.

Tech got 10 first downs-same as Westminster but more important, the I'laid was able to shove across the last stripe. Like the wind, it happened quickly. Lfroy McElhinny recovered a Bestwick fumble on the Westminster 41. On the next play Tech converted the break into the day's only score. The same McElhinny started a sweep toward his right end.

He found a hole off tackle, darted straight ahead. He got to the 15 and reversed his field, running almost laterally to the left He just managed to beat Safetyinan George James into the end zone. It made no difference that Bob Hammer missed the extra point, although the miss did cause some anxious moments near the end of the game. The rains came down fast and so did Westminster, with six minutes to go. James and Jerry Ferguson alternated in carrying the ball from the Terh 45 to a first down on the 15.

Three tries at the middle set up a fourth-andtwo at the line. Bestwick decided to try the left side of the Tech line but there was a mixup in the handoff, a fumble, and Dave Love fell on the ball for Tech. There were only three min utes left and it looked as if the game was over.

The outburst was sparked by Bobhy Boyd, who got two touchdowns. He got one on a 22-yard dash pver left end, the second on a 38-yard punt re-turn.
