Kirkleski's nexr offering was a long pass that landed in Millman's arms on the 5-yard line and he fell over the goal as he was tackled. Ford added a point with a placement kick. Pitt had to relinquish the ball on a punt early in the third period, and Kirkleski returned it eighteen yards before he was stopped.

Leaves Tacklers In Wake "With one convulsive clutch he wrapped his brawny arms about the ball and then he started with his head up and his feet flying, crashed into one tackier and bowled him aside as if he were a tenpin. The interference began to form for this doughty Boltz, and another man was picked off as he tried to encircle the fugitive with his arms. Boltz crashed into a third and sent him spinning to the sod, and there ahead of him, with two mates trailing behind to snipe tacklers from the rear, loomed the final white chalk line that spelled glory for- himself and victory for his alma rnater. Suddenly a meteor in a garnet jersey came tearing across the sward from the sideline. He gained with every pace of his flying feet, every step brought him nearer to his quarry.

One interferer hurled himself at the pur-surer, who was Evans and missed. Another hurled himself at that racing back and missed. Evans then' raced with the tiring Boltz, and finally brought him to bay on Swarthmore's 36-yard line As Evans flung himself upon the valiant Boltz, and bore him into the grass, a vast groan arose from the Pennsylvania section while this moan blended with the shrill shrieks of rejoicing from the Garnet hosts. But Penn, infuriated at this belated and unexpected uprising from- her foes, determined then and there to place triumph beyond even the pall of doubt. Kruez Rips Garnet Line Kruez, burly and gigantic, a line-crusher of terre-r and power, was given the ball and straight through the centre he rammed his way for nine yards.

Joe Laird, whose arm was stiff and who -played largely on his nerve, had been sent into to bolster a Penn back-field that had become befuddled and impotent under the insurrection from the suburbs. Joe tucked the ball under his arms and bent back the line between guard and' tackle for two more yards.

And St. Joseph's Prep School was enabled to gain some hard earned revenge over the St. Peter's Trep School team, hailing from Jersey City on Houston field yesterday. The whistle invalidated the touchdown which was scored, and St.

Joe took the day's laurels by the final margin of a single touchdown, score 0-0. The play occurred in the last period, when St. Peters was in possession of the ball on St. Joe's 15-yard line.

Oct. 3. OVER the citadel of the Pittsburgh Panther the Maroon of Lafayette waved in triumph and jubilation today, when for the third straight year the warriors of Easton subdued the Panthers cubs. Coming from behind with a majestic offense that swept all before them, McCracken's men won 20 to 0, in a duel of the gridiron that made history for both teams. Lafayette, coached by Herb JIc-Cracken, once a pupil of Glenn Warner, met the charges of Jock Sutherland, who also learned his football at the feet of Old Pop.

and Jock boweki to Herb, a bitter pill to swallow. The injury became the more poignant, when Sutherland, who achieved undying fame when he took a Lafayette team to Pittsburgh and trounced his old mentor, was forced to sit on the side lines and see the Easterners ride roughshod over the gladiators of the Western tip of the State. Pitt expected to win, expected a decisive victory. Lafayette came here fighting, but hopeful, only to return victorious and jubilant. Gustafson alone figuered in the Panther's deeds, for his three field goals gave Pitt the' only score which she achieved.

All were toed in the first half, and gave the Tanther the edge, as the rival legions fared forth to battle in the final periods. Then the Maroon unlimbered her artillery, sending her shells through the air to batter down the Panther defenses, and to turn a contest into a rout. Heaving pass after pass. Kirk-leski chucked the pigskin with such unerring accuracy that the Panther was beaten. Pitt amassed its nine points before 'the Eastonians got started.

Three times Pitt marched down the field, to be stopped outside the 25-yard line. Once in the first period it was on the 27-yard line and Andy Gustafson booted a placement goal. In the next period the Panther was stopped outside the 30-yard line twice, and on each occasion Gustafsou's toe was true and the ball sailed between the uprights. The third boot appeared to bring the Eastonians to life, and from then on they played rings around the Sutherland-coached machine. The scoring drive started on an exchange of punts near the end of the second period.

Kirkleski threw a pass to Millman NEW BRUNSWICK, N. Oct. 3 RUTGERS foucd more than she reckoned for in Harry Stuhl- dreher's Villanova team here today and went down to defeat with its colors dragging in the dust by the score of 20 to 0. Weakened by injuries, the inexperienced Scarlet team could not cope with the powerful line attack of the visitors, and although four times during the course of the game Jack Wallace's charges held firm in the shadow of their goal posts, the steady assault of the heavy Villanova backs finally battered their defense to pieces. Villanova showed a well-drilled, hard-running team which will be heard from before the season is ended.

Stuhldreher, following the custom of Notre Dame, sent his second team on the field at the beginning of the game and kept it there throughout the first quarter. At the start of the second period the varsity were given a chance to show their wares and after five minutes of play had scored a touchdown. After failing to gain, Chandler punted to the 45-yard line, and here the visitors uncovered as pretty an open game as has been seen at Neilson Field in years. Long ends runs combined with a neat forward. Slane to Jacobs, brought the ball to the twelve-yard line, and on the next play, Broderick took it over.

Toward the end of the period Rutgers held on her 2-yard line, after Ter-rill's kick from behind the goal posts struck the crossbar, and again in the third quarter the Scarlet defense stif fened when Villanova had four rushes to advance the ball five yards and failed. In the last quarter, after Hanf and Bliss had been taken out because of injuries, the visitors battered their way to two additional touchdowns, an inter cepted forward pass on Rutgers' 30-yard line paving the way for the final count. Rutgers gained only two first downs to Villanova's sixteen and completed only one forward pass. 85,000 Crowd Sees Manfred Win Derby RADWICK. X.

Swarthmore, always a trial for her big brother of Franklin Field, lived up to every whit of her traditional trouble for the henchmen of Young. Supine and helpless apparently for three periods, bent backward through the might and power of that adamantine Red and Blue line, the Garnet came prancing from behind in the final period and almost snatched victory from the eager elaws of the Pennsylvania cohorts. Poor Generalship Hinders Garnet Indeed, poor generalship contributed by the signal-caller of the Little Quakers, coupled with the great interception of that forward, was all that saved Pennsylvania from at least a tie score. Three blocked kicks had been converted into touchdowns, once Kruez had crashed over the boundary for another touchdown and Wilcox, too, had slashed the Quaker line to place the ball behind the boundaries. With, the thrilled, throbbing multitude stirred to a pitch of frenzy, even rare nt these dramatic battles.

Swarthmore had again wrecked a Quaker offensive, when a vigilant Evans had recovered a forward and dashed to Penn's S-yard line before the stunned foemen of the Garnet could realize that defeat stood just tauntingly ahead. Here came a foolhardy play. 1 four downs in which to make eight yards, and with a forward pass the Inst utrategem that should have been employed until all other means of attack had failed at least once, the chieftain of Swarthmore signaled for a forward ifiass. It was one of those flnt chucks that slide so swiftly over the line of scrimmage, and Evans was all set to make the clutch. Then out of the pack, coming seemingly from nowhere, wa( a burly son of the anthracite kingdom.

Alone he as the forwards andi backs had sifted to various other- positions, and as the pigskin, came hurtling toward 0 jof play was changed and a series of auu uuuuie pat-sea put tne Dan across, with Kirkleski making the score. Pool added the extra point on this try also. Millman was replaced by Moore in the final period and the former was on the receiving end of three long" passes by Kirkleski. The last one put the ball on the 11-yard line and Kirkleski carried it over after Gebhardt had plunged for five yards. The try for goal resulted in a poor pass and Pitt blocked the kick.

i The play of the Titt team was disappointing. They showed nothing but Gustafson's ability to boot and his steady ground-gaining, but the rest of the baekneld was of little help except in spurts, but these drives were quickly broken up. Pitt showed nothing in the way of a pasB until late in the game, when they took to throwing long ones, one of which was successful and carried the ball deep into Lafayette terri- Lorj Lafayette Position Pittsburgh McMillin Salata Steele Benedict Chase (Capt.)
