Few woids wcie spoken bv the Panthers piior to going out on the field.

The boys were bitter over the address made at a pep rally Friday night by Father T. H. Jones, a piofessor of philosophy at Duque.sne. In which he told Du-quesne students that one Duquesr.e man was woith three from Pitt and that, while the Dukes would be fighting for Duquesne, the Panthers would be fighting for their weekly pay cheeks.

Goldberg, the star of the game, gained a total of 127 yards in 10 tries at carrying the ball, with Curley Stebblns next with 31 In 11 attempts. Brumbaugh, who plaved a whale of an all-round game for Duque.sne, gamed 42 yards net in eight tries, and Mat-slk, whose touchdown beat Pitt last year, was good for 25 yards in four tries, Goldberg touchdown was a sight to behold. He started off fight tackle, hit through the line fast, rut bark to the left and was awav with a clear field, outrunning Brumbaugh and Mat-sik in a hard chase to the goal line.

Pitt's Panther and the Dukes giant dog mascot, Hugo, met on friendly terms before the game, Tar Heels Stop Violets, 19-6 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.

Little was a thorn In the hopes of the air-raiding Violets from the opening whistle, snagging a New York University pass on the first scrimmage play and then racing 22 yards a moment later in a beautiful dash through the New York team to the four-yard line. The game was loss than two minutes old before Little was over for the first score.

Mighty Mike Basrak, hero of the Dukes win over Pitt last year and all-American predecessor to Grablnski at the pivot post for the Hill Toppers, hove into sight. He opined that possibly the Bluff-men had spread a bit too much between tackle and guard in meeting the Goldberg thrust that saw Biggie knife through to the clear for his 77-yard touchdown trek.

Knocking at the Bloomsburg goal line from the very outset of the game, and denied a touchdown in the opening quarter when Kelly fumbled on the three-yard line, Indiana opened its point-making with a brilliant 35-yaid run baik of a punt by Kelly for a seoie. In a few minutes Indiana had scored again. -Wisor intercepted Jones pass on the Husky 22 soon after Brandy, a substitute half-bark, circled left end for a touchdown. In the thiid period a 15-yard penalty against the visitors for tripping gave Bloom.sbmg the ball on their own eight, Jones passed to Wcnrlch In the end zone for a score Indiana blocked a punt to gain possession of Bloomsburg' 36 and Kelly pavsed to Grosklos, who did some nice bioken-fleld running to the goal line.

The rest of the lace was between these two and they came thundering up the stretch to finish neck and neck.

All but three out of nine entries were scratched in this event, It was the same in the third race, three and one-half miles over timber for the Western Pennsylvania Hunts Cup. Three were left out of six entries and of these three, two were gentlemen riders. TWO SriLLS IN THIRD There were two spills In the third race neither serious. E. Pancoast, up on Ewart Johnston's Seafarm Dan, was unseated on a brush Jump on the last lap and lost both second place and his horse.

In his office, Coach Jock Sutherland paced nervously back and foith.

He was bitter at the statements credited to Father Jones, as were other Pitt authorities, especially James Hagan, the director of athletics. Over in the Dukes' quaiters, the silence was almost as thick. Conch Smith deploied the occurrence of Fildav night and was fearful of its effects on his playeis and the Pltt-Duquesnc senes. He did not make up his mind to start Art Amann, who was stricken with a slight attack of Rrippe last week, until he sent his men into action. As it was, Art turned in a fine game, playing through the entire 60 minutes along with the other starting linemen.

Chisox Square City Series CHICAGO, Oct. 9. AP.) A combination of steady, seven-hit pitching by Big Johnny White-head and a 16-hlt attack gaie the White Sox a 14 to 2 victory over the Cubs at Wtigley Field today, pulling the American Leaguers up even with their rivals at two vic-toiles each in the twenty-second Chicago championship series. Whitehead, given a two-run lead by his mates in the second, allowed the Bruins one1 marker In thetr half of that frame and then fairly coasted home as the Sox pounded four Cub httrlers at random.

PITT NOT JUBILANT Beyond the partition out among the clanging, gray lockers, tired Pitt warriors toweled off the mud, but not the glory, of the battle. Strangely enough there was no shouting, little noteworthy Jubilation. Perhaps the triumph had been too narrow, with the Dukes uvru tuu imuuw, wuu vac lurpo holding the oval, first down on the Blue and Gold 12. in the closing moments; possibly the boys were Just too bruised and fatigued to rouse themselves Into a demonstration. But sober as they seemed, they no doubt flashed gladness enough for an outfit that looks forward to Fordham, Wisconsin, Carnegie Terh, Notre Dame, Nebraska.

Disappointment hung heavy In the Red and Blue enclosure, the pall of frustration not yet having lifted sufficiently for the sorrowing Bluffite band to cern the real splendor of their truly grand performance. Coach Clipper Smith and Dr, Leo Donnell discussed In low tones the bumps and casualties of the day none of em, fortunately, very serlouz Interrupted at this, the Clipper gave his views of the city classic, He said: "The game was terrifically hard-fnught, was battle of the lines and both were at disadvantage in the mud, I think there would have hern scoring if it had been dry. Goldberg's run, of course, was th high spot. Aside from this, the teams were equally strong on drfense, with Tilt hrlped considerably by greater reserve powrr while we had to stand pat for 60 minutrs with our aeven starting linrmrii.

Down the corridor, Capt. Joe Maras toweted, his nose still aching from the wallop that a bit earlier hart sent an enemy forward to the bench for slugging and cost the Panthers 47 precious yards.

Joe managed a Mona Lisa smile In response to a phrase of rheer, but you could see he didnt feel like It.

The penalty of half the dis-tance to the goal line, a matter of 44 yards, for slugging by Sourhak, was the first of this nature In many games here. The umpire, J. C. Hennessy, of Brown, earned his salary. The captains kept him busy wiping the ball and once he was clipped completely out of a play.
