JANUARY 2, 1937. PART U.J 4 SATURDAY MORNING. Green Bay Gridders PLAY-BY-PLAY STORY OF PITT VICTORY OVER HUSKIES IN ROSE BOWL tossed a forward fcass to Wise for Pill Wipes Out Biol Panthers Redeem Themselves for Post Bowl Defeats Huskies Take Defeai Calmly Continued from 13th Png hot, there wasn't enough co-ordination or precision on offense. ''Our kicking in the first half wras bad, all right, and left us in the hole. Then we threw away one scoring chance when Haines's pass was intercepted in the third quarter down on Pitt's 25.

That was a first-down toss, too. It was just unfortunate that Haines couldn't quite hang on to Waskowitz's toss on the 7-yard line earlier in the CHICKERNEO PRAISED As far as the players themselves were concerned," scribes marveled at the absence of harsh words, or even disappointment. Steve Slivinski, the big guard, said the Titt line was better offensively than any met this year, including Minnesota. "That Chickerneo ccrtainlv came booming in there. He hit me harder than anybody else," admitted Slivinski.

Max Starcevich, the all-Amer-: ica guard, likewise compared the" Pitt forwards favorably with Minnesota. Byron Haines, the jackrabbit halfback, said the turf bothered him a little, as he slipped a couple of times. "But the Pitt guys had soma trouble, too," admitted Haines. "We just didn't have any zip today. "I should have had that pass from Waskowitz down there." But Waskowitz took the blame.

"The pass wasn't anv good." The Husky fullback liked Sta. pulis over any other Pitt runners. About the only injury to Washington players of any seriousness was to Tackle Markov. He came out with a bad ankle, but the team doctor said it was only sprained and not broken as was first feared. Rally to Beat Dodgers in Denver DENVER, Jan.

Haines broke through center for a first down on the Johnston, Washing, as often happens when a supposedly strong kicking team meets a supposedly weak kicking club, took a bad beating in this department. Here again it was Patrick who aided Pitt's cause. Center Hensley played a great game for the visitors and carried on the tradition that Pitt is always strong in this position. Washington undoubtedly suffered through the loss of Al Cru-ver and the whole team, except Haines, looked a bit overtrained. Or perhaps the boys just couldn't gear themselves for a battle against a team which had been belittled by some local writers.

NOT AS SMART Washington's attack was not as smartly directed as Pitt's. The Huskies made a bad move by passing on first down after recovering a Pitt fumble deep in Panther territory with the score only 7 to 0 against, them. Hensley was right on the job to intercept this shot on his 25-yard line and the Huskies were sunk. On the other hand Michelosen and Chickerneo ran the Pitt club perfectly, varying LaRue and Patrick so cleverly that the Huskies never knew for sure just what to expect. Jimmy Phelan says the South ern California newspapers did his team a dirty trick by making the Panthers mad.

This was only half the story, James, old boy, because you picked a team which could not afford to lose in the Rose Bowl again. That, to me, was far more important than the pyschological prodding given the Panthers by some of our scribes. When it is a case of life and death a Panther is no animal to pick on. Armstrong Knocks Out Casanova MEXICO CITY, Jan. 1.

FOURTH QUARTER HUSKIES Sutherland sent in ten new men and Phelan insert- ed six replacements. Logg passed to Haines, who fumbled, but Starcevich recovered for first down on the 22-yard line.

Wasko witz fumbled and recovered for a loss ol 7 yaras. wasKowuz tossed a shovel pass to Wise for a gain of 5 Logg held the ball behind his back while stand ing in punt formation and Was kowitz took it from him and 544 I yl I 7F 5.50 ends were blocked out consistent ly. The reason was, as I saw it, that Pittsburgh had much fire and speed for th Huskies. "I had been led to believe that Washington was the faster club. This wasn't so as Pitt showed amazing speed.

The Husky line was outcharged because of this speed. "LaRue and Goldberg were as fast as any back Washington had to offer, and in addition had blockers in front of them, something which the Huskies failed to do." Questioned about the Rose Bowl event as a spectacle, he said that Japan had nothing to equal it. The Nipponese witnessed the gorgeous Tournament parade before taking in the game, so all in all it was a large day for the boys. Japan's outstanding intercollegiate event is the national championship baseball game. As many as 104,000 have turned out to see the finals in this tournament, Takeda said.

As far as the Japanese All-Star football squad was con cerned the best player at the Rose Bowl yesterday was Bill Daddio, Pitt's slippery sophomore end. The invading Nipponese grid ders, who play the Southland preps at Gilmore tomorrow afternoon, were unanimous in nam ing Daddio as Washington's Enemy No. 1, They were mentioning Dad- dio's name as the boy to watch even before the 180-pound wing intercepted Haines's lateral and sped 71 yards unmolested to a touchdown. That bit of sensational play topped off a perfect day as far as the Japanese figured. His blocking and all-around play earned him the Nippon vote.

Doro Takeda, coach of the invaders, didn't take a note during the game. But, apparently he didn't have to, as he could recall play after play with amazing accuracy last night at the Miyako Hotel where the squad is staying. Said Takeda, "Washington's BY GRAXTLAM) RICE Copyriiht. 1937. by North American NewtDiDr Allunc.

Inc. There is no longer any blot left on Pittsburgh's Rose Bowl escutcheon. Here was a Panther who belonged to the jungle and not to the zoo a fast, hard-driving, slashing Panther who put both fang and claw to work in beating Washington's Huskies, 21 to 0, before 87.200 chilly witnesses. It was Panther power that wrote this story along the ground a fast charging line that worked in front of fast, pile-driving backs that ripped the big Husky forward wall wide open is Patrick, LaRue, Goldberg. Stebbins and others ripped their way up and down the field with the finest blocking I've seen all year.

Washington had no defense1 ftrong enough to stop this continued headlong assault that marched 51 yards for the first touchdown in the first quarter and then stepped 75 yards in the third period with another drive that found big Frank Patrick the damaging spearhead. OPEN ROAD On these two power attacks, Pittsburgh located an open boulevard through the center of Washington's waiting, drifting line and the Panthers used this boulevard as a speedway planted with the no-stop sign. On the second drive, after La-Rue's 43-yard sprint deep into Husky territory, Patrick buldg- eoned his way for 27 yards in three line plays that carried the ball 5 vards behind the Husky' goal line. In the wake of these two dev astating ground attacks, Bill Dad-! dio. Pitt's crack end, grabbed a backward lateral from Byron Haines and, after a flying start, ran 70 yards in the fourth period for the Panther's final count.

To show Pittsburgh's complete superiority, the Panthers were st on Washington's 5-yard line when the final whistle sounded. OUT TO AVIX Jock Sutherland's Panthers came into this game determined to wipe out their last two Rose Bowl showings and, at the same time, silence all the squawks ebout L.S.U.'s place in Pasadena's big show. It was one of the most determined teams that ever walked upon a football field. You could fense that in the grim, set cast of each man's jaw and the perfect physical condition each Panther showed before the game began. They were out to win this time and Washington, or no one else, was going to block the road.

It was easy to see, after the first few minutes of play, that Pitt had the faster, harder charging, more aggressive line and that Pitt could take that ball and lug it along the western terrain. Washington, using a drifting line that -waited for the play, was bowled over or cut apart by forwards and backs that struck with sudden, shattering force. HUSKIES STOPPED Pittsburgh's defense Washington bottled up pletelv along the damp kept With such stars as Daddio, Hoffman, Daniell, Matisi and others at work, the Huskies ground plan soon crumpled up. It had to be through the air or nothing. Caught in this emergency, Waskowitz opened up a brilliant passing attack with By Haines on the receiving end.

Twice the Huskies gathered in from 40 to 50 yards on these air-line maneuvers, but when the danger zone was reached. Pitt hurried the passer too often to give him a shot at the scoring zone. Outside of two i-hort passes, both intercepted, the Panther left the air almost completely alone until the closing minutes of the game, when Pitt's second and third stringers almost put another touchdown over. PITT SATISFIED Now Pittsburgh can go back east the Panther can return to his lair with the old slate wiped clean sure of its place as ere of the finest representatives of eastern football that sector ever sent to the outside wars. It was a team perfectly coached and drilled in all the fundamentals that take and hold complete control of the ground and it was along the ground that Pittsburgh came back to power, as Washington, after a fine sea- son.

Washington Pros Bsat Parkways RICHMOND (Va.) Jan. 1.

The Season's Greatest Continued from 13th Page struggle far more fresh than the Huskies, who wilted badly in the third quarter when they needed their stamina most.

So relentless was the savage play' of the Panthers that Wash ington gained but 52 yards run-! ning the ball in the first half; and then wound up the entire game with a net 48 yards from scrimmage being socked for a 4-yard deficit in the gruelling! second half. PITT LINE GREAT The futility of Washington's running attack rather surprised me. The Huskies are a smart team and they generally handle the ball cleverly. Their varied attack has deception and speed, but Tilt killed this yesterday by superlative line play. Only Byron Haines, a great ball carrier, was able to elude the savage Pitt tacklers and he generally had to go it alone, To Bill Daddio and Averell Danieil goes major credit for stifling Washington's running game.

The entire Pitt line was tremendous, but Daddio and Daniell smothered all the short side stuff which the Huskies have employed so successfully against Coast opponents. There has been no better end in the Rose Bowl than Daddio, and Daniell certainly lived up to his All-American rating. I thought Washington should have started passing earlier in the game. It was evident soon after the opening whistle blew that Pitt's line was too good for the Husky running attack. With expert pitchers like Haines and Waskowitz to fire the ball, the Seattle club might have done better with more attention to the aerial game.

TURNING POINT Perhaps the turning point of the game was when Haines failed to hold a pass from Waskowitz on Pitt's 5-yard line in the second quarter. A catch here might have tied the score and then anything might have happened. Patrick's terrific line smashing was a tremendous factor in Pitt's successful campaign. His devastating crashes over the highly touted trio in the middle of Washington's line were made possible by expert blocking on the part of the Pitt forwards and splendid interference run- ning by Michelosen, the lone man who blocked for him after he once passed the line of scrimmage. Tonv Matisi likewise did some effective blocking for La-! Rue on long sweeps through Washington's tackles and around punters in Logg, Haines and ENTIRE STOCK Reduced Prices w.l LOTH IS CHOICE OF at.
