DOESN'T LOOK ANY TOO GOOD BEATING PACIFIC, 20-0 TIGERSFIGHT Reserves Capture Opener From Aggies, 14-0 By Prcseott Sullivan MKMOKIAL STADIUM, KKRKKLKV, Oct. 16. For the modest sum of $1.10 per liead. customers today received five touchdowns, four viclories, two football games and an afternoon of good sound sleep. By a long way it was the biggest bargain ever offered a football crowd in this neck of the woods, and it goes without saying that everyone was happy.

Even the losing teams California Aggies and the College of Pacificwere tickled pink since each of them cracked "moral victories" out of the goose-eggs which rewarded their separate struggles against California's Golden Bears. Added to the two actual victories scored by the Bears, the "moral victories" achieved by the Aggies and Pacific made a neat, if not gaudy, total of four which, I believe, is a mark that will stand up for the remainder of the season, regardless of prite. Spared the embarrassment of meeting up with California's reg Four Field Goal Attempts Fail To Tally M)W YORK, Oct. (INS) For the third successive year, the football elevens of Pittsburgh and Fordhant today battled to a scoreless tie. It happened at the Polo Grounds before 53,000 fans.

The Rose Bowl champions entered the game a 2'j to 1 favorite but, as in previous years, they could do little against a great Fordham line. The Panthers made 11 first downs to four for Fordham but the Rams had more chances to score and the game was close and hard fought all the way. MISS 4 FIELD GOAI-S. Three times Fordham came close enough for Capt. Johnny Druze to attempt field goals but each time the kick wont astray.

Once Pitt got -close enough for Johnny Daddio to attempt a placement but his kick also was bad. Late in the first half Goldberg went over the Fordham goal but the play was recalled and Pitt was penalized 15 yards for holding. In the second half, Fordham was knocking on the door when the Rams got a first down on the eight yard line. Principe plunged to the Pitt two yard line but the in the twenty-fourth running; of the $7,300 added Laurel handicap. Seahiscuit, C.

S. Howard's 1937 handicap champion, broke well and battled things out with Flor-adora and Deliberator, but couldn't get everything under control. First Clingendaal, A. C. Comp-ton's racer, surged to the front briefly.

The San Francisco-owned handicap champion beat off that challenge. But Heelfly, bay son of Royal Ford-Canfli, entered by T. P. Morgan, was coming up fast. Heelfly had sped forward after breaking badly and tailing the field for half a mile.

At the stretch Heelfly got around the field. Then he came up side by side with Sea-biscuit, 50 yards from the line. The two thoroughbreds crossed the line nose-tonosc. After 10 minutes the judges, after, looking at a photo of the finish, flashed the "dead heat" sign before eyes of some 20,000 fans. Heelfly paid $3.90, $4.00 and $3.50.

Seabiscuit paid $2.40, $2.70 and Deliberator, the third horse, paid $8.20 to show. EACH EARNS $1,337. The "tie" split the purse, giving the co-winners $4,337.50 each. That cut boosted Seabiscuit's earnings for the year to $157,117 and his total since his racing days began to $198,622.50. Heclfly's share brought his earnings to Deliberator, Everglade Stable's entry, took third position, and a $750 cut of the purse, while Clingendaal took fourth and $350.

The co-winners covered the mile In 1:37, just a fifth of a second over the track and race record held by Jack High. TODDLE OX WINS. THEY BATTLED STRIDE for stride through the stretch after Heelfly had come up fast to catch the favored San Francisco horse. Jockey "Red'' Pollard was up on Seabiscuit, NOSE AND NOSE were Seabiscuit (on the rail) and Heelfly as they crossed the finish line at Laurel, Maryland, yesterday. This International News Sound Thoto was taken just after they hit the wire in their thrilling duel.

By reason of their twin successes the unbeaten, untied Bears stretched their season's winning streak to five straight, but much, as I would like to make this an even gayer picture than it is. it cannot bo reported that the Brars enhanced their recently begotten reputation of greatness. Indeed, through long stretches of an exceedingly long afternoon, the Bears didn't look great at all, and with U. S. C.

coming along next Saturday, this may be a matter for Stub Allison to sleep over tonight. Statistically, however, the Bears looked considerably better than they did on the field. ROLL IT YARDS. Against Pacific they rolled up 366 yards to 33, and made 19 first downs to one. Against the Aggies they went 315 yards to 28 and amassed 17 first downs to naught.

Thus, altogether. California's football boys lugged and passed the ball 681 yards for a grand total of 36 first downs, and if Allison can find any comfort in these figures, why it'll be okeh with me.

He cut on a cigaret paper, he spun and lunged, and sprinted. AMAZING PASSER. He slipped through holes no bigger than the eye of a needle and came out into the open dancing like a Fanchon and Marco chorus girl. But T. Ambrose Schindler did not stop there.

He crossed up the poor and bleeding Webfeet with an unheralded right arm that flipped amazing passes. Altogether, this Troy quarterback of the school of Mohler, Drury and Kaer escorted his teammates across the goal line four times. He ambled over with the ball and personally accounted for 24 points. I put all this into the lead, including his average of 8.3 yards for the 16 times he packed the ball, to make sure that P. Ambrose Schindler gets proper billing.

WHOLE TEAM. From this rather precarious position, he is Troy's football team. With Schindler in the game, the Trojans thundered. With him out, they lacked the zip. The holes were not big enough, and the leadership was lacking.
