29 U. The University of Pittsburg Panthers opened their home campaign today with a convincing 20-0 victory over a green West Virginia University football squad at Pitt Stadium before 15,000 fans. Scoring once in the first period and adding two more touchdowrji in the second, Coach Clark Shaugh-nessy's T-experts rolled up net yardage of 428 yards while holding West Virginia, who meet Drexel Tech Morgantown, W. next Saturday, to 84 yards from scrimmage. A strong Pitt forward wall kppt West Virginia deep in its own territory throughout most of the afternoon.

Siricui. Head linesman Hilton T. Suop. Army 32-0 Victor Over Air Force By HUGH FULLERTOX Continued From First Page started things going late in the nrst quarter. Army had been pushed back to its 14-yard line by one cf Strausbaugh's long pvnts when Davis swung around right end and raced 86 yards down the sideline for the score.

THE MAGIC MOMENT PENN END SNATCHES TOUCHDOWN PASS WITH ONE-HANDED CATCH Bob Evans, ex-Air Forces hero (extreme- smooth play from the start, with Quarterback touchdown, produced an added thrill when right) has already tossed the ball and has found Carmen Falcone and Halfback John Martin Sponaugle, who is 17, made his incredibly neat Bob Sponaugle on Brown's 24-yard line. A also downfield as decoys, this, Penn's second and nonchalant one-handed first period catch. 51,000 See Penn Open With Over Brown; Deuber Scores 50-0 Victory 3 Touchdowns Ursinus Beats C.C.N.Y.,24-0 The Line-Up a touchdown, just as a sudden downpour doused the field and sent a number of the 2000 spectators to cover. KICKS EXTRA POINT ALSO Work, 5 foot 10, 185 pounds hometown scholastic product, also kicked the extra point, his fifth in as many tries in the last two games but his attempted 22-yard field goal from the right was wide of the posts in the last quarter. Last year this same Work accounted for the field goal that beat Princeton University, 3-0.

The Lancaster team's touchdown late in the second period was also set up on a partially-blocked kick after Pete Holloway got the ball off from Swarthmore's 33. It was downed on the homester's 46 by Leroy Ballard, F. and M. halfback. Seven plays later.

Left End Al Edgcomb took a touchdown pass in the end zone from Brown, who fired the ball from the 4-yard scrimmage line. Ballard placekicked the extra point. The third period was replete with an exchange of kicks, eight punts in all, as neither side could make any headway. LAST-PERIOD DRIVES FAIL But the fourth period saw Swarthmore's 44-yard drive to the F. and M.

7-yard stripe bog down. And at the final whistle the Diplomats, who had driven 70 yards to Swarthmore's 10, saw their touchdown pass attempt batted down by Gene Graczyk with two F. and M. men flanking him. An offsides penalty proved a puzzler and sent the officials into a huddle midway in the third period after Rudy Prestier, F.

and had recovered a legal Swarthmore fumble in the air on Swarthmore's 48 and raced down to the 8. Swarthmore, on the play, was offsides and drew F. and M. offsides, but the penalty against the first offender cannot be declined under the 1945 rules. So F.

and much to the disappointment of partial followers, only benefitted by a 5-yard penalty and Swarthmore retained possession of the ball. Previously this double offside violation was classed as "no-play. The tie marked the eighth in the series with F. and M. winning 20 and Swarthmore 13.

The tie, however, partially avenged Swarthmore's previous 13-6 setback by F. and M. this season. Swa rthmore Lit let on Smith Sneberger Beebe Goria tic Work Pa me Hays Holloway Dillenbeck Duke Pos. Franklin Marshall L.E.

The University of Virginia smothered North Carolina State College, 26-6, today before 20,000. John Duda, hard-driving Virginia back, was the star of the Cavaliers' offensive, scoring three touchdowns. He plunged off tackle forthe opening score and later circled his right end in a 12-yard touchdown dash. In the third period he scored again, smashing past a weak North Carolina State line. Howard Turner scored State's touchdown with an end run in the third period.

Shortly afterward, Meryll Frost's kick was blocked and Fullback Veto Kissell, recovering for Holy Cross at midfield, romped to the Dartmouth 20. Kissell and Koslowski alternated in carrying the ball to the one, from where the former dived across. The Dartmouth score came near the close of the half when a 26-yard aerial from Bob Albrecht to George Rusch put the ball on the Holy Cross 14. Dartmouth smashed to the five, and then Frost gunned a pass over the line to End Al Gould.

Kissell 0 6 0 0 6 13 013 Annapolis Routs Villanova, 49-0 By JOE McNULTY Continued From First Page Minisi warmed up for his later work, time and agssin rocketing through Villanova's defense. WILLIAMS TALLIES Minisi, who faced a former teammate at Penn, Eddie Lawless, Villanova back, came up with an eye-lifting exhibition in the final quarter.

He started the drive with a 15-yard punt return, sliced off sizeable gains on plunges and then finished by throwing a left-handed 18-yard scoring pass to Ralph Williams, sub back from Miami, Fla. In this same period Welsh went over from the one-yard line on a plunge, returned an intercepted pass 42 yards to set up Navy's last scoring shot. This came when Welsh passed six yard to Ambrogi who deftly dodged rival tacklers and sped over from the two. Jack Currance, a proved specialist in booting extra points, converted seven with perfectly executed kicks. GONGLEFSKI BRILLIANT Villanova's formation plays just couldn't click against the speed and power of Navy's front line and the Villanovans got across mid-field only once.

This was late in the contest on ball carrying by Alvin Hunter. Navy, however, quickly stopped this march as it had previously checked such fine working backs as Vince McPeak, Lawless, Romeo Capriotti and Bucky Williams. One of the gems on offense and defense for Villanova was Joe Gonglefsky, end, who made things rough with his vicious tackling. Villanova Robertson Ferry Pos. L.K.

29. Ursinus College, bouncing back from its opening game 7-0 loss to Franklin and Marshall College, today spoiled City College of New York's inaugu ral, 24-0, in Lewisohn Stadium. The Bears unveiled a powerful ground attack for their first touch down in the second period. Don Robertson spearheaded the advance, which produced three consecutive first downs. Before the half ended, Ursinus had chalked up two more scores first on a pass from John Reilly to Bill Carazza, later when Tackle Bill Carlin raced 50 yards after intercepting Herb Barry's pass.

Passes and running plays were blended for a fourth-quarter touchdown, Robertson doing the lugging and Reilly the tossing. Bill Deemer covered the last 2 yards on a wide end sweep. Ursinus Pos. L. E.

Le high: field ludee George Vereara. Notre Dame. Boston College Wins; Ex-Marine Hero Stars NEWTON, Sept. 29 (A. After putting on a kicking exhibition in the first half, the Boston College Eagles opened up to tally in each of the final two periods to defeat the Squantum Naval Air Base, 13-0, today.

Steve Helstowski, a 205-pound halfback and a veteran of Marine warfare in the South Pacific, crashed over for both tallies from the three and two-yard lines, while John Queenan, another former Marine, place-kicked the extra point. 5 i til Todays White ---C '3 McFadden, was looking for neither mercy nor sympathy. "I did not think we were strong' he said, "but I do not feel too badly. Penn will do the same to a lot of other teams besides us." HOW IT HAPPENED Here is exactly what Penn did to Brown: 1. Brown, starting on its 29, was driven back to its 24 by ex- soldier Farquhar Jones and, after two futile plays, Netski punted out of bounds on the 42.

Evans tossed a running pass to Sponaugle, uncovered on the right, to the 30; then slashed off tackle to the 28. Evans next backed up, passed down the middle to Sponaugle, uncovered on the 9. Pacific Naval Veteran Martin reversed to the 2. Jones dented the middle to the 1. Evans dove over right guard.

Time, 4:03 of the first period. 2. Evans took' Watts kick on Penn's 47 and ran to the Brown 34. Evans promptly passed off to the right again to Sponaugle, who made a leaping, right-handed catch over his shoulder on the 24 and ran the shortest line to the goal, with Williams tackling him too late to matter. Time, 8:03.

Even a brief downpour at this stage couldn't dampen Penn. 3. Following the safety at 8:55, Deuber took Watts kickoff on Penn's 23 and ran back to Brown's 47, but the Quakers stalled on the 45 and kicked. Netski made 5, but then Nisi fumbled and second-string Guard Bob Kurtz recovered for Penn on Brown's 33. Schneider circled left end to the 14.

Naval Trainee Bob Hubley, second fullback, bucked to the 7 on a fake reverse. Deuber ran off tackle on a real reverse from Schneider for a touchdown. Time, 12:43. 4. Harold (Tex) Phillips, 155-pound sub halfback, ran back 12 yards with a punt and, on the last play of the first period, Riestenberg lost a yard, leaving the ball on Penn's 40.

For the first and only time Penn lined up in formation on the initial play of the second quarter. Falcone one of the five Penn quarterbacks, none of whom even once carried the ball flipped a short lateral to Deuber, who raced around right end, cut inside the Brown halfback who was being shoved aside by a lineman who'd run cross-field and went on unmolested to sprint the full 60 yards. Time, 11 seconds of the second quarter. 5. Second-string End Jim Mea dows, Naval trainee who en gaged in Notre Dame's spring prac tice, ran back six yards to Penn's 40 with the opening serond-half kick off.

Schneider, running deep, thun dered like a steam engine around right end, swerved abruptly to cut inside the Brown flankers, faked Williams into committing himself to the left and then ran to his right all the way downfield, outstepping Lisi at the finish. Time, 19 seconds of the third period. 6. Starting from his own 39, Schneider went off the short side to the 47 and Hubley worked the same play from left formation to go 18 more yards to Brown's 35. Deuber took a reverse from Schneider and raced to his third touchdown.

Time, 4:12. 7 Third-string Center Harold Bigler, Navy transfer from Buckneil, intercepted Bethlehem Eddie Finn's pass on Penn's 47. Opel bolted around right end to the 43, and Eddie McGuire, fifth-string 17-year-old fullback, made 18 down the middle from left formation. Ray Oczkowski, Naval veteran, former Frankford High athlete and sixth-string wingback, plunged for 2 and Opel for 4 more. McGuire was stopped at the 21.

but Opel then started around left end, cut back and, behind a Jarring block by fourth-string Right Tackle Ed Sand-ford, crossed standing up. Time, 11:58 of the fourth period. And that, mercifully, was all. Scores Six Times In 46-0 Triumph WORCESTER, Sept. 29 (U.

With Quarterback Walter Trojanowski of Bridgeport, scoring six touchdowns, the University of Connecticut trounced Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 46-0, today on soggy Alumni Field. Trojanowski, 23-year-old junior, scored twice in the first period, three times in the second and once in the third, when he raced 50 yards. By ART MORROW Continued From First Fare second on a 60-yard run with a lateral flipped to him by Quarterback Carmen Falcone from formation, the third on a 35-yard sprint with another single-wing reverse engineered by Schneider. SCHNEIDER RUNS 60-YARDS The mercurial Schneider himself, onetime Lancaster High School ace who served three years in the Army, scored one of the four other touchdowns on a 60-yard scamper around right end, and Bob Sponaugle 17-year-old Hershey (Pa.) High School graduate and nephew of Franklin and Marshall College's former all-around great. Woody Sponaugle, now coach at Lancaster's McCaskey High accounted for another with a one-handed catch of Bob Evans' 34-1 yard pass.

Evans, veteran of 33 missions over Europe, winner of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air. Medal with clusters, dove over right guard from the one-yard line for the first Penn touchdown and later place-kicked five extra points. Schneider, who missed one, converted the other. George Opel, the 1944 placement specialist, ran 21 yards for the final touchdown. SPEED, HEAT FOIL BRUINS The speed of the Quakers and the heat of the day proved simply too much for the Bruins.

They never quit trying indeed, the last play of the game saw them hold on their own 15 to take possession of the ball on downs but they had not the manpower to cope with the 95-degree heat of the afternoon sun, and they were not fleet enough to overhaul the Quakers behind the line of scrimmage. They were not fast enough, indeed, to reach their own passes, even short ones, which time and again flew over the head of the intended receiver. Their wing-T formation never puzzled the Penn regulars, and seldom fooled the reserves, though in the execution of some plays they did startle the press box. DIVERSIFIED SYSTEM With the quarterback under the center, two of their other backs in a lower case and the remaining halfback out on the wing, the Bruins used two men-in-motion during the course of the game. Sometimes itwas the wingback, sometimes the quarter.

When the quarterback ran off, no one was left under the center and the formation lost all relationship to the with the ball passed directly from center to fullback. When the wing-back was the man-in-motion, the motion usually consisted of a Bill Robinson shuffle that was more entertaining than effective. The Quakers, unfortunately, were not in the mood for entertinment. They wanted to play football, and when, after 8:55 of the initial quarter, Halfback Ed Netski, a Naval transfer from Buckneil, dropped back from his own 13 to pass, the inevitable resulted. Left End Frank Jenkins, brother to a former Cornell star and himself a Naval R.

O. T. from Ohio Wesleyan and Blooms- burg, came charging in to be hit with the ball. The oval bounced Into the end zone for an automatic safety McFADDEN INJURED Nothing the Bruins did could faze the Quakers. The New Englanders showed two great tackles, but one of them.

225-pound Bob McFadden, suffered a torn leg ligament that probably ended his career for the season and had to be assisted off the field to join Netski, who sustained a recurrence of a knee injury re suiting from a practice scrimmage with Dartmouth, Penn next foe. Brown's other outstanding tackle was 200-pound Jim Lalikos, veteran of five years in the Marines, one at Northeastern University and another at Villanova College. Lalikos it was who enabled the Bruins to make their greatest sortie early in the second period when he pounced upon a fumble by 145-pound George Opel and lateralled the ball to George Watts, the punting end. THREAT STOPPED Watts, a Navy transfer from Wesleyan, ran from Penn's 49 to the 27 before being dragged down by Opel, and in seven plays Al Lisi, ex-Air Corps sergeant who once spent 33 days adrift after being shot down in the Pacific; Roger Williams, the Brown captain; Tom Kavazanjian, the ex-Dartmouth player who com pleted a short pass to Watts, and PENN SCORING: Touchdowns Evans, Sponaugle.

Here a fourth-down pass from Kavazanjian to George Menard fell incomplete, however, and Opel promptly kicked out to the 47, with Al Riestenberg, Penn's seventh-string wingback (yep, seventh), monkey-wrenching Brown's next march by intercepting a pass on the 15 and racing back to the 30. MUNGER PERPLEXED Never again were the Bruins able to pass Penn's 42, and they got that far only once, just as the first half ended Penn's 19th victory against three defeats and one tie with Brown, the game was the most decisive in a series dating back to 1895, and Quaker Coach George Munger, beginning his eighth year as chief of staff, scratched his head in perplexity.

"I am both surprised and pleased," he said, "but what to make of it, well WEALTH OF RESERVES "I'll tell you one thing," broke in 252-pound Tackle George Savitsky, the ex-Marine who captained Penn yesterday. "We have something this year we didn't have last year reserves." The Quakers showed plenty of reserves, all right. Munger used every man in uniform 47 players, in all. "I'll say one thing for Munger," a Brown alumnus consoled Coach Charles A. (Rip) Engle in the south stands dressing rooms.

"He was kinder to us than Colonel Blaik last year. Blaik kept his third-stringers against us to the finish of Army's 59-7 victory. Munger showed mercy." USED ONLY ONCE Perhaps he did. All day Penn used only one formation play; that went 60 yards for a touchdown so the Quakers tucked their plays away, never used one again but stuck strictly to single wing. And after completing three in the first quarter, Penn attempted only one more forward pass all afternoon and young Andy Gordon, the third string blocking back, was promptly benched for attempting that one in the third period.

Coach Bob Higgins fired his big guns hard and early today, then withdrew them for more momentous games as Penn State College romped over Muhlenberg College, 47-7, in its season's opener.

Before the opening quarter was over, Penn State had pushed over two more touchdowns. In the second period they scored three more that, coupled with a safety, ended the Lions' point-making for the rest tf the game.

Muhlenberg started a drive in the third quarter that finally culminated in a touchdown early in the fourth. With the ball on the State 26, Elmer McQueen passed over the goal to John Duff who was pushed as he attempted to snare the ball.
