Pitt scored with only 2fi seconds remaining in the second quarter on a one-yard plunge by fullback Tom Jenkins. Miami, mixing one pass with eight ground-chewing efforts, moved 76 yards for the first score after Pitt failed to gain on the initial kickoff, Varone, on a reverse around left end, faked Ray Dipasquale at the 15 and raced into the end zone for the score. The second touchdown was a nifty 41-yard pass from Scarnecchia to Losch who sneaked behind Pitt's defenses on about the 20 and scampered over unmolested.

SCARNECCHIA HITS Scarnecchia hit Losch after a Career Boy, owned by C. V. Whitney, and Needles, from tha D. H. Stable, came from far back, went wide to get running room in the stretch, but couldn quite catch Prince John.

The winner stepped the rout in 1:42 35, nn a fast track. Thj time was only three-fifths of a second off the track record set 1950 by Friendly Frank, a four-year-old under only 109 pounds. All the starters yesterday carried 122. Prince John paid $50 00, $18.80 and $8.20 pay-off. Career Boy, ridden by Eric Gucrin, returned $5.60 and $3.40, while Needles, piloted by John Choquette, wai $2.80 to show.

Needles was a length behind Career Boy while Happy New Year came home fourth. Prince John is a chestnut son of Princequillo-Not Afraid, and is owned by the Elmcndorf Farm of Max Gluck, who entered racing only five years ago. The triumph was worth $157,918.50 to Gluck.
