It was generally believed here tonight that the Rose Bowl hid will go to either Pitt or Fordham, with the Panthers having the edge, following todays victories of Pitt over Duke and Fordham over New York University.

27. Pitt's Golden Panthers of the gridiron wrote a very acceptable final chapter to their 1937 football story here today by whipping a rugged band of Duke University Blue Devils, 10 to 0, before a rain-drenched turnout of 40,000, Journeys End?

Playing under the most adverse conditions, with a soggy field under foot and a steady and heavy rain falling practically thiougliout the contest, the Pittsburgh capitalized on two breaks in the first half to gain a field goal and a touchdown and then proceeded to smear Duke's running and aerial attack and determined but Demons at bay.

If they the piesent the Pitts will not any too earnest, Theyve completed one of the most brilliant seasons in Pitt history and are ready to rest modestly on their lain els. DUKE KEYED UP Entering the game as underdogs, the Blue Devils nevertheless were keyed to a high pitch and in their hearts firmly believed they were destined to scoie an upset. They believed their Elmer (Honey) Hackney and Red Tipton and Bob OMara would be capable of crashing Pitts defense for a score and that their defense would prove tough enough to check a Pitt counter, even to the extent of bottling up the Goldbeuts, Patricks, Stebbins, Cassianos, Stapuhs and Urbans of the Panther backfleld. To this end.

they gambled with the weather and slippery ball by having their speedy quarterback and safety man, Hackney, attempt, to handle Pitts punts in the first half. The gamble failed, for Hackney twice was knocked loose from the ball as he pulled in high, soaring punts b.
