third stringers for the remainder of the game. The last touchdown finally came midway in the final quarter, on a haphazard, zig-zag drive of 78 yards that found Dutton scoring a "photofinish" touchdown on a buck from the one-yard line, his second, thus tieing Jones' for scoring honors. There appeared to be considerable confusion among the officials on calling that score, for it was a close play that might easily have gone either w-ay. However, after lengthy debate, it was ruled a touchdown, and when Joe Connell, Charleroi senior proved equally as adept as Fife at Booting the extra point the final point of the arternoon was racked up on the scoreboard.

29 The University of Georgia tonight accepted an invitation to represent the South in Miami's Orange Bowl football game played here on New Year's Day. Bowl Chairman W. G. Ward announced tonight. Georgia's opponent will probably be named Monday, he said, but he declined to reveal what teams were being considered.

Georgia, winner of eight games this season, lost only to Alabama, 14-28, and 'vas tied by Mississippi, 14-14. The Bulldogs won over Mercer, 81-0; South Carolina. 34-6; Columbia, 7-3; Auburn. 7-0; Florida. 19-3; Centre, 47-3; Dartmouth.

Nov. 29 Oregon State College came from behind in the final period today to defeat University of Oregon 12-7, to win the Pacific Coast Conference title and clinch the Rose Bowl nomination. Stanford the other Western Bowl candidate was upset by California, 16 to 0. Oregon State opened the scoring in the third period, but Oregon came back on the first play in the fourth to make a touchdown and convert for a one-point lead.

A sellout crowd of 20,500 went wild when OSC then ployed back down the field for the deciding touchdown. After being held on Oregon's 1-yard line in the second period, State came back mid-way in the third for the opening score. Taking the ball on the Oregon 38, the Staters launched their drive. A pass. Durdan to Zellick, was completed to the Oregon 27.

State made 8 in two line thrusts and a 15-yard penalty against Oregon for unnecessary roughness put them on the 3. Choc Shelton rammed over for the touchdown. Bob Simas' kick was wide. Oregon took the ball on a punt on its own 47 for the last play of the third quarter. Then, on the first play of the new period.

Curt Mecham electrified the crowd by breaking through right tackle, twisting and dodging away from practically the entire Oregon State team and scampering 53 yards to score standing up. Newquist kicked the placement, to give Oregon what appeared to be an all-important one-point margin. Taking the ball on his own 40-yard line with 10 minutes left. Durdan passed and ran to the Oregon 28. Joe Day, who alternated with Shelton at fullback, broke through right tackle and sped across the goal line for the second and decisive touchdown.

Georgia apparently was chosen over Mississippi State this year because the bowl committee felt it would be more of an attraction to have a new-comer in-as-much as records of both teams were about the same. Considered as possible opponents of Georgia in the post-season game are Duquesne, Texas and Fordham, standout team of the east. It was indicated however the committee might have to wait to hear from bowl Invitation results of other cities before an opponent could be named for the Bulldogs. State Beats So. Carolina By CHESTER L.

SMITH Press Sports Editor COLUMBIA, S. C. Nov. 29 The Nittany Lions of Penn State barged into the deep South this afternoon and captured a decision over both a thermometer that was flirting with the 80's and a South Carolina eleven which had no respect whatsoever for the high esteem in which their guests are held up North. The score was 19 to 12, but it was only 13 to 12 with six minutes to play, and the Lions had every reason to fear what might have happened any instant, for the Gamecocks hadn't given up and were throwing all their resources in the field in an effort to overtake their foe.

Late in the final period, however, State escorted Pepper Petrella into the end zone for his second touchdown of the day and their third, and although Bill Smaltz' kick for the conversion missed its mark, it was a clincher that'was not lost on the South Carolinians. They realized then that the best they could hope for was a tie, and some of the sparkle went out of their play as the quarter It was the seventh victory of the season for the forces from Mt.

Louis 25 Wash. 0 Springfield T. 6 South'rn (K.) 0 SOUTH Auburn 28 Clemson 7 celebrants from the Valley of Steel and Swift-Moving Rivers, tonight cast longing eyes toward Florida, in the hope that their newly won honors would bring them an invitation for a holiday post-season game in Miami. For one brief moment today, the Johnnies were a reasonable facsimile of the original Johnstown flood of 50 years or so ago as they boiled over in the third quarter to go 59-yards for their lone touchdown. Johnny Makar scored on a six-yard sprint and Larry Schell-hammer tacked on the extra point.

At all other times, they were hardly more than a trickle that the Blue Devils from Pittsburgh stepped over or ran around until, when the Mounties became real dangerous, they dug in to keep their own end zone free of hostile cleat marks. 10 Straight Victories The triumph for the boys coached by Harold (Duke) Weigle, an old Albright gridder, brought their string of sucesses to 10 for the 1941 season and gave them the first WPIAL championship in four years Weigle has been at the coaching controls. Once before they had been in this same playoff, in 1938 against McKeesport, but the Tubers won handily on that occasion and as the Johnnies now hope to do went on to a Florida post-season contest. Defeat for Mt. Lebanon brought to an abrupt end a string of 20 consecutive grid successes, ten in the 1940 campaign and an exact duplicate of that record over the regularly scheduled 1941 season.

15,000 Jam Stadium Fully 15,000 fans Jammed the Jeannette High stadium, stood four and five deep completely around the quarter-mile running track, and stood and sat on a hillside overlooking the gridiron from the Johnstown side of the field as the two perfect-record elevens met. Both schools had their marching bands, cheer leaders, cheering sections, and hometown backers numbering 3000 to 4000 persons and the exhortations from these, starting a full hour before the opening kickoff, continued until the sun slanted its long rays across the field at the end of the battle. Speed, a passing attack that several times took a hand in the progress of the game, and a little nundle of triple-threat dynamite in the person of Makar, 150-pound quarterback, carried the Johnnies through successfully against a Mt. Lebanon team that outweighed them considerably at several key positions. Use Few Substitutes The greater bulk of the Mounties was expected to prove a definite asset, and, while it was a noticeable factor in the early moments of the contest, the real advantage that was expected near the closing minutes was lacking.

Johnstown had the fresher team at the end, and had used only three substitutes, too, the same number that Coach Henry Luecht sent in for the Blue Devils. for the Panthers obvious superiority to assert itself, and so the fans who came out to bask in mild November weather were surprised just a little to see a scoreless first quarter. But with the opening of the second quarter. Pitt finally began to roll with the initial impetus coming from a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty against Tartan Guard Bill Purcell, who roughed Edgar Jones on a punt runback. The Panthers didnt' stop until Wild Bill Dutton bucked it over from the two to cap a 45-yard touchdown march.

Has Fighting Chance It was still pretty much of a ball game, however, as Bill Philipchuk, scrappy Tartan fullback, broke through to smother Ralph Fife's attempted placement and until the old touchdown specialist. Master Jones, popped loose on a 45-yard touchdown run around the Tech left end in the closing minutes of the half, Tech still had a fighting chance. Ralph Fife had plenty of time on this extra point attempt, and he booted it right down the middle to give the Panthers a comfortable 13-0 halftime advantage. This second score, coming with only two minutes remaining in the period, seemed to put a permanent damper on Tech's hopes. This was best revealed in the first few minutes of the second half as Pitt, gaining possession on Emtton's interception of Jack Fritz's pass, charged 67 yards for the third score.

Jones sprinted the final 18 on a reverse from Joe Connell, cir-rlinar wide around left end for the third touchdown, his second of the nfternoon which brought his total for the season to an even half-dozen. First Team Out When Fife added his extra-point, the Panthers second found themselves with their highest point-total of the season. 20, and they seemed to have no great desire to get more as Coach Charley Bowser In a charitable gesture to a game foe employed mostly second and Pitt-Tech Statistics pitt IS 13 3 43 fl i 12 4 63 3 12 12 406 Tech cumber of firt downi 4 First downs rushin? 3 Firt dons passing 1 clowns on Yards gained rushine 47 laxes lot rushing 23 yards rained rushing. -4 Forward pas-ses thrown 19 passes 'IN' gained from forward passes 43 Basse 1 ads. gained from intercepted passes 25 of punt ffl -Yardage of kickoff 79 -Net yards gained rushing, forward ring.

With the figures on the scoreboard reading 6-0 against them, the Middies started the second half with a zip and a drive that sent the cheers of 98,957 panicky fans echoing through the- giant Municipal Stadium. And once again It was Busic Barnacle Bill (the sailor) Busik who picked the Middies up and started them on their way.

He pulled his mates together for a 69-yard touchdown drive before the second half was six minutes old. then sparked up another long parade before he retired to the bench. Where he left off, his tiny sub, 150-pound Clark, picked up and the Middies marched once again for the clinching score of what was a slam-bang ball game from the starting whistle to final gun. This time the Navy punched and slammed 68 yards, and the sailors toyed along the rest of the way with their triumph assured.

But after the interception by Blume, the Blue Devils couldn't pry their way into Trojan territory and had to kick. Trojans Roll For Score Then the tide turned suddenly for the Trojans as Mt. Lebanon kicked off to open the third quarter, and the Johnnies went all the way for the game's only touchdown. Lud Kosjer accepted the kickoff, a short one. and got back 15 yards with it to the Johnstown 41.

From there Makar directed the uninterrupted march into the end zone. First he bounced along for 11 yards, but after that he mixed it up, handing Kosjer a reverse, and feeding the ball to Carpenter for straight ahead bucks. Only once did he take to the air, and then he flung a pass Carpenter caught beneath the noses of two Mounties for a gain of 14 yards. Makar then called his own signal. And when he finally had been pulled down after hurdling the Blue Devil line, he was only six yards from the goal, with first down.

Mt. Lebanon might have stopped the parade here if Makar had followed the general line-plunging pattern most quarterbacks use inside the 10-yard line. But he didn't. Score On Trick Play He had a trick, and it took a trick, with Little Johnny himself legging it into the corner of the end rone, after taking a double lateral that started with Carpenter and moved on the Kosjer.
