Into as wild and wooly game as football ever produced, jumped a bench-warmer with a sure toe today, to give Fordham University a 7-6 triumph over the Horned Frogs, of Texas Christian University.

Twenty-five thousand fans, fair- ly drenched by both rain and thrills of a wide open, bent-for-hell game, sat In hushed silence as Wilbur Stanton leaped oft the bench and swung his toe at the pigskin. Aided by Angelo Fortunate, who had scored the tying touchdown and held the ball, he booted the ball squarely through the uprights to give the Rams a hard-earned triumph they'll never forget with only two minutes left to go. 95 YARDS FOR SCORE The kick from the wet and somewhat slithery field ended a charm that the Horned Frogs from Fort Worth. held for 68 minutes. Time and again the outwitted Rams piled up to the enemy goal line only to miss with distances of one foot to six yards to go.

And when they finally blasted the spell, they made a 95-yard march by land an-, air to rush over the tying touchdown. The thriller was a case of T. C. getting the lead at the outset and holding on for life the rest of the trip. The game wasn't 10 minutes old when the aerial circus from the Texas plains accomplished what mighty Pitts- Texa Chrltln ft A A t-nrdham A A A 11 leva I hrlatlnn erlnft Tmirhdnmn limnet.

The University of Kentucky Wildcats blew plenty hot here today to defeat Manhattan College, 19 to 0. Underdogs because of their mediocre showing in four previous games, the Wildcats snapped into action to do all their scoring in the first half, putting across two touchdowns In the first quarter.

Ohio State knocked Northwest-em'from the heights of unbeaten teams today, winning 7 to 0 and practically erasing the 1938 Big Ten champions from the title picture. The victory before 87,521 fans kept the Ohio slate clean for two Western Conference tilts. Dick Nardi, halfback, retained his scoring record for the season by counting the lone touchdown In the third period after the most bitter of battles.

The Ohioans playing alert and heads-up ball against the defending chamnions, took advantage of the game's big ''break" to crash through. Twice In the second period they were halted on the 12-yard line by the determined Wildcat line. WILDCAT KICK BLOCKED The break came just a minute after Northwestern had been repulsed twice, once on the Ohio four-yard mark and again on the seven, from where Fullback Jack Ryan missed a place-kick. Ohio took the ball on the 20, and Howard Wedebrook booted to the Wildcat 30. A pass failed, and then Bernard Jefferson, Negro Wildcat halfback, backed up to punt.

Commenting on the "Hagan Plan" in effect since Hagan took over the Job of athletic director in July, but made public for the first time today, the Pitt mentor said "Pitt is going to make every effort to establish itself with the leading educational institutions in the country.

Athletics, as Director Hagan has pointed out, are part of the educational plan of the Institution. A good student makes a good football player. 1 have known of men who had all the attributes of a great football player, but who could not think. Do you think h. would have made me, or any other coach, a good player? HELP ALL STUDENTS "As far as that goes, we have been selecting the higher classification students and athletes for the past two or three years.

Take, for example, Uhirkerneo and Both are A-l students, Cassiano being a straight "A man in the classroom. "We are going to do all in our power to line up campus jobs, not only for athletes, but for all students, And there is not going to be any fast ones pulled either. If a man has a job, he Is going to have to be on It when he's due. If it interferes with his praetiee time, well and good, "As a matter of fart, it will take a high type boy to keep up with his studies, his athletirs and his work. We want that kind of men at Titt.

FAVORS SHORTER CARD Dr. Sutherland is in favor of confining the schedule to eight or nine games, and of not starting action until October. He said: "I believe eight or nine game schedules, especially against major opponent, are tough enough. As for waiting until October to get started, it all evens up. I believe Pitt should play teams in his own classification: teams that have the same ideals and that operate on the same plane.

After all, I am not entirely familiar with the new setup, but I am heartily In favor of all the points with which I have been acquainted. "I am employed here as football roach. Any coach, naturally enough, wants all the material he possible can get, and wants the best material available, but I intend to turn out the best football (earns possible while Im on the job. Huskers Down Missouri COLUMBIA, Mo Oct. 23 AP.) The Missouri anti-aircraft guns jammed for a few fleeting seconds today and the raiding Nebraskans bombed their way to a 7-to-0 victory over the team early rated as the biggest hurdle In their path to a consecutive Big Six championship.

As approximately 16,000 fans sat in dislayed silence, Marvin Plock, Husker halfback, raced wide beyond his left end, took a flat pass from Thurston Phelps, and ran 13 yards to score. That one thrust, preceded by a brilliantly executed 35-yard pass, Phelps to Jack Dodd, was the culmination of the one real threat of a ball game which saw two great lines hold opposing offenses in check. Neither team could provide even a hint of a sustained running attack, and, except for the few fatal seconds late in the first period, the aerial assaults like-wt-se wtr ineffective.

(AP.) A single touchdown in the opening period gave Princetons football forces a 8 to 0 victory over a defensively-powerful Rutgers eleven today as these oldest of all gridiron rivals waged one of their finest battles before a throng of about 35.000 in Palmer Stadium. The thirty-fifth meeting between New Jerseys major colleges, it was also Princeton's thirty-fourth successive triumph. Only in the first game of the classic scries, back in 1869 when there were 25 players on a side, was Rutgers the winner. The Tigers margin of superiority today was greater than the score Indicated, but aside from the single touchdown march of 68 yards, it was the Scarlet's brilliant defensive play that featured. Twice Rutgers held within its own one-yard line, forcing Princeton's bail carriers back on their heels.

Bob Hinchman, sophomore halfback from Pittsburgh, son of the Pittsburgh Pirates scout, was largely responsible for the lone touchdown. His pass to Dick Wells gained 23 yards to the Rutgers 29 yard mark and his later 18-yard off-tackle dash carried to the one-foot line. From there Larry Taylor of Haverford, plunged across for the score. Tackle Charley Craig blocked Taylors try for extra p.oint, The lineup: To. T.

The undefeated Holy Cross football team capitalized on fine punting today to thrust over a touchdown early In the first period that defeated a surprisingly strong Western Maryland eleven, 6-0. on a wet and slippery field in a driving rain.

After Paul Bartolomeo had twice driven long punts outside on the visitors' five-yard line, the Crusaders received a break when Ken Adrlance's last return carried out only to the 25. Cahill, Holy Cross' brilliant sophomore 1 1 e-threat, rushed Into the game at this point and carried 20 yards around his right end on the first play. Western Maryland stopped two thrusts at the middle and then Cahill again sprinted around his right wing to score standing up, Jim Turners placement try for point was low and wide of the uprights. Western Maryland, which played throughout with a five-man line, closely supported by three back-ers-up, restricted the Holy Cross running attack to a net gain of 127 yards, while the Terrors clicked off 136 yards overland. Western Maryland also made eight first downs to Holy Cross' three.

Stanford Beats Huskies SEATTLE, Oct. 23 (AP.) The University of Washington made the first downs, but Stanford University made the touchdowns to win a 13-to-7 Coast Conference football game here today. The Washington Huskies, with a previous defeat and a tie, lost all hope of successfully defending their Conference title. Despite the fact the Stanford Indians were unable to gam a first down and had a minus-10 yardage total through the first two periods, they had scored a touchdown by half-time, Late in the second period, Stanford recovered a Huskies fumble on the Washington 44-yard line. A following Stanford punt rolled to the three-yard line.

The Indians blocked Substitute Halfback Johnston's punt In the end zone and Stanfords right end, Stone, fell on the ball for a touchdown. In the third period, Substitute End Wise punted from behind the Washington goal line. The ball w-nt out of bounds on the Huskies ifi. Stanford Fullback Groves drove down the sidelines to the Washington four, and three plays later smashed over for the second Stanford touchdown.

23 (AP.) There was a hot time in this old football town tonight after Centres Praying Colonels, playing their best football the season, defeated the Davidson Wildcats, 8-0. In this connection, also, I be-bieve that for the benefit of athletes who expect to enter the teaching profession, we should encourage them to major in some subject other than physical education. If they are prepared, for lnstane, to teach chemistry, history, economics, or the like, and supplement this work with coaching, the possibilities for their advancement will greatly increase. A teachei thus equipped will be regarded more highly by his fellow teachers and by his students, and will have a greater chance fot advancement In the educational system either in academic work or In the field of administration. SEVENTH All purchases of athletic supplies and equipment should be made strictly on a competitive basis both aa to the quality and prlre.

No purchase should be made without the proper requisition signed by the director of 'athletics prior to negotiations for purchase. EIOHTH There has been considerable discussion regarding the possibility of rehabilitating Camp Hamilton. The use of Camp Hamilton as a football training camp has been condemned by many of the Institutions with whom our relationships admittedly should be on a high plane. If we are to our athletic program In accord with the best practice It will be necessary that all training be done on the Pittsburgh campus of the University. We should go on record that the use of the camp for football training is definitely discontinued.

NINTH Rules governing the outstanding organizations In Intercollegiate athletics prohibit coaches from Interviewing prospective athletes except on the campi of their respective Institutions. Our roaches should not at any time Initiate contact with any prospective athlete. Neither should they attend any athletic contest with the obiectlve of scouting for prospective athletes. A strict adherence to this rule should be observed. (CrvrUht yte? CARNEGIE TECH N.

Foot- Pitts- Uphill Battle Wins For Ohio Wesleyan DELAWARE, Oct. 23. (AP.) Ohio Wesleyan spotted Rollins College two touchdowns in the first five minutes, then rolled up a 26 to 13 victory over the Florida team today. It was the Bishops first victory of the season. Oliver Daughertys 74-yard run in the opening period for Rollins was the Rames feature.

Wesleyan came within one point of tying the score In the second period, then took the lead in the third. Wooster Tech Wins WORCESTER, Oct. 23. (AP.) Holding the upper hand throughout, Worcester Tech won a 14-to-0 victory over Massachu- these reasons there should not be a place for minor opponents on Pitt football schedules. THIRD Assistant coaches should recognize their responsibility to the head coaches and the head coaches and other members of the department should recognize their final responsibility to the director of athletics as the agent of the Athletic Council.

A great deal of harm has come from the continuous prac tic. of staff members criticizing the policies of the Athletic Council In public speeches. For example, the schedule In football has been criticized as being unduly difficult and hard on the boys. Statistics will prove this criticism untrue. All such criticism must cease.

The public has no means of knowing all the ramifications Incidental to schedule making and the Athletic Council should nc be placed In a position where It cannot with dignity and fairness to our opponents explain the basis for Its actions. Complaints and disagreements should be settled in the department or with the Athletic Council, FOURTH All interviews and other nubllclty, such as radio talks, newspaper articles, and so forth, should clear through the publicity director of the ath letle department.

O'Briens try for the extra point by placement was low and wide and the big tug war was on. As their line suddenly strengthened after playing loosely for the first period, the Ram barks drove to within scoring distance three times in the second period, failing on the three-yard, two-yard and one-foot line on as many desperate tries.

In the third period they were stopped on the two-yard stripe again and it looked like curtains for Fordham and Its Rose Bowl hopes as the Ram3 found themselves in the fourth period, five minutes to play, on their own five. FORTUNATO GOES OVER -It was from that five, where they passed In desperation, that the winning drive opened. Along mid-field, it was halted as each aide fumbled but off it went again with Joe Granski tossing passes to Capt. Johnny Druze and Fortunate to carry the ball to T. C.

U.s six. Fortunato finally took it fiver on fourth down from the yard line. But for Fortunato and the stiff Ram line, Stanton never would have made his game winning kick. The pass from center rolled along the ground, but as the Ram wall off the charging white shirted Texans, Fortunato straightened out the ball into a perfect position and Stanton had a perfect srt-up. In winning, Fordham swiped the Texans' aerial thunder, throwing 22 passes and completing 12 for a total of 182 yards as against 107 yards gained through the air by OBrien and his aerial troupe.

Spartans Down Marquette, 21-7 EAST LANSING. Oct. 23. (AP.) Rangy Jack Pingel, fleet footed halfback, ended Michigan State' touchdown famine here today as the Spartans put on a late rally to conquer Marquette, 21 7. Pinnel scored all three State touchdowns, the last one on a sensational 80-yard sprint.

He scored the first touchdown of the game late in the third period when he plowed over from the six-yard line after a combined running and aerial assault had taken the ball from midfield to scoring territory. In the third period Marquette tied the count when Ray Bonner, berg raught a 10-ynrd pass from Andy Bakula over the goal line. Opening the final period. State unleashed a furious attack that saw Usif Haney, substitute fullback, make gains of 18 and 19 yards. Pingel bettered his way across from the eigm-yard stripe.

The point after touchdown was a classic. Co-captain Quarterback Jim McDonald elected to place-kick for the point, with Mike Kabealo holding the ball. Voigt, Northwestern right tackle, broke through to block the kick, but Kabealo picked up the ball and tossed it to McDonald, who raced around right end for the marker. POINT PLAY DISPUTED Both coaches, all the players and four officials argued for at least five minutes before the official decision that the point was good was forthcoming.

The off! cials ruled that since the ball did not cross the line of scrimmage, it was a free ball, and that the point was as good as if the place kick had been made. Capt. Don Heap, stellar halfback of the Wildcats, was the big offensive gun for the invaders, and single-handed he backed the Bucks to their goal line in the third period, as Northwestern made Its heavy gesture by pushing to the four-yard line. of the staff should write copyright articles for any newspaper, publication, or news service. We feel that the athletic department of the University of Pittsburgh, as an integral part of a semi-public institution, should make available to the public any material which may be available and should contribute In every way possible to the public knowledge of athletics in general.

Statements given the public should be true and correct. FIFTH Participation in a number of sports will greatly enhance a students chance of obtaining a position upon graduation. In the teaching profession our graduates will have a better chance for advancement if this policy of broadening the field of the undergraduate experience is carried out. Pitt has been criticized for being a one-sport institution. Our reputation in this respect has been greatly improved through encouragement not only of football, track, tennis, swimming and rifle, but also of boxing, WTestling and golf.

In the development of this broader program the number of students participating In athletics has been greatly Increased. We should continue this development and encourage every boy who Is physically qualified to rome out for one or more sports with the assurance that he will receive adequate coaching attention, Another factor which has contributed to the criticism that Pitt is a one-sport Institution Is the restricted use of the stadium. The stadium should be a general sports arena and should be assigned for the sport which Is In season. SIXTH A relatively large number of our students on athletic teams major In physical education, To properly qualify In this profession, the teacher should be experienced in a number of sports. We are not doing Justlre to the student In an educational sense If his athletic experience is restricted largely to a single sport, CHANCELLOR'S APPROVAL Chancellor John O.

Bowmans approval of the University of Pittsburghs new athletic policy is contained in the following letter to Athletic Director James Hagan: Dear Mr, Hasan: I have read with Interest your report to the Athletic Council on the policy for the conduct of athletics at the University. Let me congratulate you on this evidence of your practical sense and of your understanding of athletics as part of an educational program. I am happy that your proposal ha been given the unanimous endorsement of the Athletic Council. This endorsement means that your recommendation are now your responsibilities. Let me assure you of my approval of your program as outlined.

I hope you will count on the co-operation of the university administration in all steps which serve to place athletics at the university on a high plane of sportsmanship and of good wilt In our intercollegiate relationships.

That objective Is my desire to perform the duties of the director of athletics in the best Interests of the University. I feel very definitely that the adoption uf the policies set forth In this report will help In the maintenance of a proper athletic program. We should bear In the true purposes of athletics are educational. Athletics certainly have "durational possibilities and should be integrated with the general educational program of the University and should be responsive to the agencies which plan and administer the educational program, Our athletic teams should represent a normal and logical development of the whole program of athletic.

An athlet should represent in both nature and character the entire student body as do those students who attain prominence In other extra-curricular activities. With the same thought In mind, the members of our coaching staffs and training staffs should represent as nearly as possible In both nature and character the entire faculty group. Our athletic program should be conducted In accord with the best traditions of intercollegiate athletic practice.

I believe the adoption of the following policies by the Athletic Council will best serve the interests of Intercollegiate athletics at the University of Pittsburgh. FIRST It is recognized that Intercollegiate athletics should be conducted always on a strictly amateur basis. Special grants to students, made solely because of athletic ability should not exist. We should reserve the right, however, to secure employment for students with athletic ability on the same basis such help is given to other University students whose resources limit their rhances of completing their education, Naturally. athletic ability should not bar a boy from securing such employment.

To accomplish this, It Is necessary to develop an employment program whereby a student with scholastic ability as well as athletic ability may find It possible to fulfill his ambition to obtain an education and at the same time represent the University on Its athletic teams. The student seeking employment necessarily must have better than average scholastic ability, because the load will prove too difficult otherwise. Till is especially true during the time o' the year when the student's particular sport Is In season. When employment is obtained for a student, It must ba wd.tatood that athletic practice Is no excuse for absence from work. I believe the execution of this policy will bring about a greater appreciation on the part ot the student of hts educational opportunities and a greater sense of loyalty to the University.

SECOND Our schedule policy should be to play not more than nine games a season and that all nine games should be with major opponents. This means that we should open our season the first Saturday in October Instead of the last Saturday in September. Present -'mmlt-ments will necessitate our opening the 1938 and 1939 schedules the last Saturday In September, but the policy of opening the first Saturday In October should be in effect In 1940. A football game Is no longer a game when teat as powerful as ours run rough jhod over the teams of schools which under normal conditions do not attract an abundance of football material. General practice points more and more to the construction of schedules that have a place only for contests where earh contestant has an admitted chance to win, 1 do not know anyone who enloys seeing even his own team win a we have usually done In our opening games, For je.
