Military Academy football for which the Nation's colleges probed unsuccessfully since the close of 1943 was found and pierced by cunning Columbia University today. By exploiting? the forward pass to its fullest measure, the stout-hearted underdog triumphed, 21-20, as a Baker Field capacity crowd of 35.000 saw but wondered whether it dare believe what transpired before its eyes in the final quarter. The Columbia triumph ended the greatest modern record. Army had gone 32 games without a loss since it had bowed, 13-0, to U. S.

Naval Academy on Nov. 27, 1943. GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF LIONS The achievement was Columbia's greatest in sports since an earlier Lou Little team had outmaneuvered Stanford University in the 1934 Rose Bowl. And credit for the new-found glory belonged largely to Gene Rossides, a great passer, and Bill Swiacki, an end with the grasping talons of an octopus. Only a niche below the memorable pair belong Lou Kusserow, the back who scored two touchdowns, and Vrentan Yablonski, the sure-footed fullback whose third conversion kick was the nnyoiT point.

By reaching receivers with IS of his 27 passes. Rossides replaced Paul Covernali, now a New York Giant, as the university's single-game record And by completing 20 of 30, the team set another Columbia mark. Luongo and Dooney Score on Ground, Helman Takes Pass for 3d Touchdown By ART MORROW Against Columbia the University of Pennsylvania had played a prreat first quarter; against Dartmouth, a brilliant final period, and against the U. leld yesterday the Quakers turned on the all the way. Scoring once in the initial period and twice in the finale, they roiled to their fourth successive triumph, 21-0.

Column 1 Garden 14-7; Win MORAN The University of Pittsburgh this season, burst the shackles in a crowd oi 55,217 a flashback Hornets Trip Rockets, 3-2 Special to The Inquirer PITTSBURGH, Oct. 15 A third-period goal by Jack Hamilton with less than four minutes to play gave the Pittsburgh Hornets a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Rockets tonight before 4947, largest crowd of the season. It was the Hornets' third victory in the American Hockey League. They have lost one and tied one. The Rockets' record is now one victory, one tie and three defeats.

NARDUZZI STARS Mike Narduzzi. who scored both goals for the Rockets, and Goalie Maurice Courteau were the standouts for the visitors. Narduzzi gave the Rockets a short-lived lead when he scored at 2:53 of the first period after Wally Stefaniew knocked over Goalie Baz Bastien. After the Hornets went ahead, 2-1, within seven minutes, Narduzzi came back in the second period to tie the count at 6:22. Court eau was brilliant in the Rockets' nets.

He batted out pucks, caught them, smothered them and kicked them out, making a total of 49 saves to 26 for the Hornets Bastien. The Hornet forward line of Gus Bodnar, Hamilton and Mel Hill each scored once, but it was Bodnar who stood out lor the visitors. Bodnar chipped in with two assists and scored his goal unassisted.

25. Best behaved football teams to play in an Orange Bowl game were Duquesne and Mississippi in 1937. Each team drew one five-yard penalty. abedefg By United Press Hopes of University of Illinois for a return trip to the Rose Bowl faded yesterday as the Illini fell to Purdue in a 14-7 upset and Michigan, although having a lot of the glitter rubbed off its undefeated record, continued to set the Western Conference championship pace with a 13-G victory over rug-j LIONS TRAIL AT HALF These stun a were things of necessitv. Columbia trailed, 20-7.

at the half. It had been outrushed, 198 to II) i yards, and only seven completions out of 15 passes had kept it in the ball game. The pressure was even tougher, when play was resumed, for thej crashing Army line employed the tactics that would have hobbled; most teams who pass from the T. Joe StefTy, among others, could I not be kept out of the COMPLETE 13 OF 15 But Rossides and Kusserow. who reached two of three receivers, used sound judgment by running out of the zones of their blockers.

Even then they were hurried, but their accuracy and the ability of their receiver to make difficult catches resulted in success for 13 of 15 second-half tosses. The incomparable Swiacki was even more brilliant than a week ago against the University of Pennsylvania in a losing game at Franklin Field as he held his feet long enough in the end zone to catch a 28-yard touchdown pass from Rossides early in the last quarter. By so doing. Swiacki had not only brought Columbia within a touchdown of mighty Army, but had assured a new record. The play was the 19th completion.

It was the climax of a 57-yard success In six plays. CAI.ETS FOOLED Yet it was overshadowed by an event during the final 67-yard pilgrimage. With line Coach Johnny Bateman phoning play suggestions from the vantage point of the press box. Kusserow faked a pass and ran wide for 23 yards to the Army 33 and then carried again for four vards to the 29. Now Army could not be sure hether Kusserow would pass or run.

The uncertainty gave Lou just enough time to fire away down the sideline. Swiacki dove recklessly, making the catch on the three as he pitched ahead forward to green turf. Now every Columbian was afire. Even the line outcharged Army as Rossides made a yard and Kusserow burst through the right side for the i final touchdown. Only 6:30 remained after Yablonski's point had given Columbia the lead.

LIONS KEEP POSSESSION Even then Army might have had time for a winning drive except lor an interception of Arnold GaiifTa pass by Kusserow. Columbia was able to retain possession during the closing minutes. His eight acrobatic catches gave Continued on Page 3.

But the spectators did not see the man Penn players voted the star of the day. Chuck (The Clutch Bed- 1 narik, the mighty center, did not even don a uniform for the game. Hors de combat as a result of lung hemorrahages suffered in the 34-14 victory over Columbia, The Clutch watched proceedings from the Red and Blue bench, but he was the inspiration.

The. Quakers wanted to win this one for the Clutch, and in a brief. room afterwards, co-cap tains, Luongo and McCarthy, presented him with the ball. MIDDIES STOPPED 8 TIMES Penn won the game in a manner dear to Bednarik's heart with an alert, aggressive and, at times, an omnipotent performance. Eight times the Midshipmen carried the ball into Penn territory, but only once could they get past the 30-yard line, and all eight times they were i rcpUJSC'U.

So hard and sharp was the Red and Blue tackling that three times the Middies were stopped by fumbles, and so alert were Quaker pass-defenders that thrice also the Annapolis men were halted by interceptions. Take away the fumbles and interceptions, and it might have been a different game. But breaks are a part of any game, of course, and the Navy had no alibis.
