PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20 (Pitts burgh's football Frankenstein, shackled buried and beaten by Fordham for three stunning periods, broke its fetters with a tremendous three-touchdown yank in the nine minutes of the final quarter today to sweep aside the gallant Rams, 24-13. Seventy-five thousand spectators, largest crowd ever to see a sporting event in Pittsburgh's history, sat in almost stunned silence as the mighty Panthers trailed, 3 to 7, with one period to go. But out they came, crashing the enemy line to bits and seizing two precious breaks, and in nine thunderous minutes they had crossed roronams goal nne uuee ub b. rally was almost an exact duplicate of the 21-point winning rally mat gave Pitt its 21-7 victory over Notre Dame last year.

Thev payoff on breaks and class in football and today Jock Sutherland's line and "dream" backficld had both these priceless ingredients as they ended the famed "goose-egg classic," extending over three scoreless tie games, with a concentrated scoring crush that has few duplicates in pig skin history. Rams Seize Breaks This was the picture: In the first period. Pitt's dream backs, Marshall Goldberg, Dick Cassianc, John Chick-ernco and Hal Stebbins, rolled over the Rams with one point in mind to break the scoreless deadlock. Sacrificing a possible touchdown chance. Bill Daddio dropped back on fourth down to the Ram 13 and scored a periect placement kick to send Pitt ahead, 3-0.

Then, suddenly the Rams got two breaks and cashed them in lor touchdown. Chickerneo's return punt was bad and it fell to Len Erhmont sensational Fordham soph back, on the Ram 47. But Ted rushed in, almost strangled Eshmont for no reason and Pitt was penalized 15 to its own 38. Eshmont raced to the 31 and then slid down the right side lines on a per- Scr PANTHERS Page 16 HAWKS ANSWER Iowa Gndders Surprise by; Holding Favored Purdue To Scoreless Tie IOWA CITY, Oct. 29 i.V) Iowa's Hawkeyes, heckled on several fronts because of listless traits, replied to their football critics today with a fiery performance for a scoreless tie with heavily favored Purdue.

The tie, a moral victory for the Hawkeyes, was the closest Iowa has come to winning a Big Ten contest at home since it walloped Wisconsin in 1933. A crowd of 10.000 Dad's Day fans saw a driving Hawkeye line, rein forced by two husky sophomores, Jerry Niles at center and Mike Enich at tackle, beat back the vaunted Boiler-mater ground thrusts. An alert secondary, weak against early season opponents, joined In the unexpected form reversal to bat down Purdue aerial attempts. The Hawkeyes also pounced on four Purdue fumbles. Pass Hurts Iowa Iowa's offensive was shackled several times by costly holding penalties Just when it seemed possible that big Frank Balazs and Ed McLain, driving backs, might break through for scores.

Later Scoring Chances Lost Both teams had later scoring chances, but neither could cash them. Once Santa Clara lost the ball on downs less than a foot from touchdown land. That successful defensive stand was a mighty tribute to the Spartan line and an alert secondary defending against the Broncos' aerial attack. State never got that close, after scoring its second quarter touchdown. But the Spartans were within striking distance.

Santa Clara turned back State's later onslaughts with marked efficiency. Two well-drilled alert, and courageous teams played the game.

And as State, as a squad, holds up its head, so can Johnny Pingel, who is the Spartans' leading candidate for individual laurels this year.

The tall senior passed, ran, blocked, and defended in a fashion that has earned him his high ranking. TJsif Haney, Allen Die-bcld, and Edward Pearce played out-i tandingly well alongside Pingel. The line had a decided edge on the Broncos' highly regarded forwards. Paul Griffeth, Ernie Bremer, George Garget, and Mike Masney played very well in the waist of the line, and Mike Kinek, Ralph Bennett, and Dave Dieh! sparkled brilliantly as ends. State Opens with Surprise The tip-off on the alert game State was to play came when Jack Koemke, reserve quarterback, intentionally tooted a short kickoff to start the game.

Pingel recovered for State on the Santa Clara 43-yard line. State lost this edge in the first period, but not without causing Santa Clara alarm. A fumble, a Santa Clara weakness, paved State's way to the goal line. Johnny Budisnki, soph righ half, recovered a fumbled lateral on the Santa Clara 44. Pingel winged a pass to Kinek for 7 yards.

He threw another to Haney for a first down on the Broncos' 19. Haney sprinted 19 yards after catching the ball. Haney bucked for 2 yards as the pe riod ended. Then Pingel threw a pass to Budin- Sre SFARTANS Page 16 TIGERS PUSSES Missouri's Passing Ace, Paul Christman, Stars in 13-10 Victory LINCOLN. Oct.

But today 27,000 fans, still hoping to be present when the Nebraskans win their first game of the year, saw their Huskers take a 3 to 0 lead, saw it vanish as the Tigers jumped to a 7-3 half-time lead, became hysterical when the Huskers scord in the third period to go into the final quarter with a 10 to 7 edge and then went into a mtntal tailspin as the Mtssouriar-s marched 54 yards for a second touchdown and the ball game.

Aided by two neat pitches by George Knight to Lloyd Grimm and Theos Thompson, respectively, the Huskers advanced to the Missouri four, from where Plock dropped back to boom a placekick between the uprights.

29 Min nesota's football empire fell today. No longer are the Golden Gophers the symbol of reigning power in the western conference. In their place are the Wildcats of Northwestern, who beat down the mighty men of Minne sota, 6 to 3, in one of the most bruising, sensational battles of any season. Trailing, 3 to 0, at the end of a blaz ing first half, the Wildcats struck with lightning rapidity to crash over the winning touchdown in the closing minutes of the fourth period. When the ball was planted over the Minne sota goal line, the crowd of 47,000 Northwestern homecomers was swept into the advance stages of hysteria It was the second time in the last three years that the Wildcats had conquered Minnesota virtually to knock the Gophers out of the western con ference championship.

It also was the first time that the Gophers had lost in Big Ten competition since North western whipped them, 6 to 0, in 1936. Gophers Pounded Hard The Wildcats took the attack away from Minnesota in the third and fourth periods, and had the Gophers lighting with their backs to the wall most of the time. The Gophers in the last half apparently were softened up by the savage piay of the Wildcats for they were held to just 16 plays eight in the third period and eight in the fourth. Four of them were punts, two of them were fumbles and one an intercepted pass. In the blistering fourth the Wildcats had advanced on three occasions near the goal first to the 23 yard stripe, then to the three, and then to the twelve.

After missing a fourth attempt to score on a field goal, Northwestern struck for keeps. Navy and Pennsylvania Battle to Scoreless Tie in Thriller By GEORGE SCOTT FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29 Pennsylvania and Navy tried all their offensive tricks today to no avail and ended in a scoreless tie before a crowd of 70,000 in the 23rd renewal of their series. Power plays and forward passes that clicked in midfield failed in the payoff once near the goal line and field goal attempt by both teams went awry. The spectacular drives to break the deadlock made it a thriller for the spectators.

The fourth quarter kept the crowd on its feet as Navy twice drove past Ulc Pennsylvania 20-yard line and as Pennsylvania's Loye Rainwater blocked a placement field goal attempt. Near the close first Penn and then Navy intercepted passes swapping the ball four times in less than three minutes. 'Bach' Happy, Bronco Coach Disappointed Coach L. T. (Buck) Shaw, of Santa Clara, was inclined be disappointed in victory and Coach Charley Bach- of Michigan state felt rather happy despite the defeat.

Shaw said: "Mrf'boys weren't play- ing their best foosball. They were not top form today." Bachman said: "My team played a grand game of football and I'm proud of the boys. Did you ever see an underdog play as well as we did? And then to lose the game only because of a blocked kick! That was too bad. But I'm not sad. I felt we were going to give those fellows a battle, and we certainly did." Shaw- praised Johnnys Pingel, the bpartan halfback.

He's a sweet football player, that boy." the handsome coach of the Broncos said. San Francisco newspaper men said that Michigan State was easily the best team Santa Clara had faced this season. i ney re as good as California," one scribe observed. "Santa Clara is two touchdowns better than 'Cal' in my book, so you know how I regard these boys."
