Panthers Score Touchdown Each Quarter By GEORGE KISEDA CHARLOTTESVILLE, Nov. 7. Pitt scored a refrigerated 26-0 victory over Virginia here today on an afternoon that did little for the South's football reputation and even less for its climatic reputation. The heretofore luckless Panthers encountered about as much opposition as the odds-makers had anticipated. They scored a touchdown in each quarter and only their lack of a finishing kick prevented them from getting several others.

Only once during the entire afternoon were they kept out of Virginia territory. The win extricated Pitt from a three-game losing streak and brought its season record up to 2-4-1, which means Coach Red Dawson still can finish with a 50-50 record. Virginia, meantime, was dropping its fourth in a row and now stands 1-6-0 near the end of a depressing season. SMALL CROWD Only 13,000 customers were In the Scott Stadium stands to see this game of the weak, so to speak, but the attendance was better than sensible people had been led to expect It was a clear, sunny afternoon, but not the kind cf clear, sunny afternoon Dixie travel brochures talk about. It was chilly and the playing field was embroidered with the remnants of yesterday's 12-inch snowfall, worst in the memory of some of Charlottesville's oldest citizens.

The touchdown-makers who made It even chillier for the townspeople were fullback Bobby Epps, quarterback Henry Ford, halfback Ray Ferguson and end Glen Dillon, reading from start to finish. The longest scoring effort was the one by Epps, who, along with Ford, was giving Charlottesville its first look at a Negro football since 1947. EPPS SCORES FIRST Epps made it over-on a 13-yard trip around right end with a pitchout from Ford. The truncated senior appeared to be stopped momentarily behind the line of scrimmage but refused to be waylaid. Ford scored on- a quarter back sneak from the one on the last play of the first half, Ferguson hit right tackle from two yards away ana union, olavine his first game of the year, caught a three-yard pass from Ford in the end zone.

Paul Blanda placeklcked the extra points after the first and third touchdowns to tie Nick Bolkovac's all-time Pitt record for most extra points during a varsity career 44.

(AP.) Leroy Bolden, 157-pound halfback, personally knocked Ohio State out of the Big Ten contention today as he led Michigan State to a 28-13 victory. Bolden scored three Michigan State touchdowns, two of them on runs of 20 and 37 yards on which he repeatedly shook oft the heavy Ohio State tarklers. The victory, achieved before 82,328 fans, in cold and gloomy weather, gave Michigan State a Big Ten standing of four wins against one defeat, and kept alive their championship hopes. Ohio State's two touchdowns were made on explosive marches powered by Howard (Hopalong) Cassady and Bobby Watkins. Michigan State scored first on a steady march down the field with Bolden carrying over from the three.

Ohio State struck back at the start of the second quarter with Watkins smashing 16 yards through the line for the touchdown. A few moments later Bolden burst away for 37 yards and a touchdown, carrying three Ohio State men the last 15 yards. Cassady made it 14-13 at the start of the second half with a pretty 18-yard pass to Tom Hague, but Bolden led a fourth period march down the field and crashed his way for 20 yards and the touchdown although hit by six or seven tacklers. In the closing moments, Tom Yewcic tossed a 15-yard pass to Ellis Duckett for the fourth and final touchdown.

Nittany Lion Roors Penn State Squeaks Past Ford ham in 28-27 Thriller The latter was 13-nolnt long shot just before the kick-off, but went clear Into th final period behind a 7-6 lead I before yielding to the Inevitable and the clear superiority of a Mountaineer opponent How-; ever, the latter most certainly naa a very naggara tune proving It In fact, there were only 12 minutes left on the clock when Allman finally broke down that stubborn VPI defense for the score that kept alive the Mount-aineers1 winning sequence now at 13 straight and their chances of going to the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. DEFENSE COLLAPSES But one thing about that VPI defense It was like Mr. Holmes' wonderful one-hoss shay. In other words, when it went, it went quickly. To be exact, it practically dissolved.

Anyhow, with time running out and West Virginia getting desperate behind a 6-? deficit in the fourth period, the Mountaineers really showed they had it under pressure. Briefly, they went 81 yards in eight plays, the 8th of course being Allman's climax dash which, in the days to come, may become famed In sonnet and song as the turning point of West Virginia's first unbeaten and unblemished season. Usually, a line-cracker on quick-opening plays. Tommy mis time went out of his act and suddenly became a shifty, broken field man. What he did was take a hand-off from Freddy Wyant, fake into the left side of the line, then reverse sharply to the outside of end.

rush Roger Simmons and out run everybody to the goal. STILL A BALL GAME After that, it still was a ball game for one very good reason named Howie Wright, of VPI. He blocked Jack Stone's attempted conversion for the second time during the day, with Tech needing only a touchdown away from scoring a blinding upset. Actually, Tech never came close again but to the Mountaineer segment of the 11,000 capacity crowd, this possibility remained nightmarishly imminent to the very end. For Tech not only uncovered a remarkable passer-punter in Jack Williams, but-late in the game turned loose a long-pass gent named John Dean who al most connected twice with receivers racing deep down inside West Virginia's defenses.

However, as said, the payoff had already been achieved via Allman who, incidentally, scored both Mountaineer touchdownshis only two of the season. PASS SETS I TD The first of these came with Tech leading 7-0 in the third period after a scoreless first half, the Mountaineer score being set up by a 44-yard pass from wyant to Bill MarKer on Tech's one-yard line. On the next attempt, Allman was stopped a foot from the goal but the following play saw him score, standing up, oft Tech's left tackle. It was a dramatic moment as Stone stood poised for the kick that would tie the score, ant the ball barely got off the ground, Wright breaking through for a block that prac tically smothered it aborning. THAT KIND OF GAME As it happened, it was strict-lv that kind of a ball game for West Virginia which ran wild in streaks only to have an unfortunate contretemps arise to confound it on the threshold of unstained achievement.

Until today, for instance, Wyant's record for the season was one intercepted pass. But this time he had three interceptions and once Wright actually stole the ball on Freddy's favorite pitch-out play. Meantime, the statistics showed West Virginia gaining 311 net yards on the ground to Tech's 3S, while the passing yardage was 71 for the Mountaineers to 127 for Tech. But, as Tech might have with reason pointed out midway through he third period, it's the figures on the scoreboard that count. And at thRt juncture, these read Tech 7, West Virginia 0.

INTERFERRENCE CALL True, the Tech touchdown was made possible by an obscure penalty on a pass-play in the end zone. But the fact Is that the Gobblers, when asked the big question, came through spectacularly with the answer. They'd been given the ball on the one yard line with first down and goal to go. But on the verv first play, a wall of Mountaineer broke through and buried Williams for an 8 yard loss. Nothing daunted, the same Williams faked a pass to his right and then angled a rifle shot to Billy Anderson, who caught the ball on the two and went on over.

FRANK LEAHY back on job Notre Dame Holds Penn, Wins. 28-20 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7. (AP.) All-America Johnny Lattner, returning one kickoff for 92 yards and setting up two other scores with spectacular runs, saved Notre Dame's unbeaten record today as the Nation's No. 1 college football team downed the surprisingly rugged Pennsylvania eleven, 28-20, in a bruising intersectional game at Franklin Field.

The Irish halfback from Chicago's West Side also intercepted a pass in his end zone in the last period when the Quakers were threatening for a fourth touchdown. It was the toughest battle of the year for the men of South Bend and Coach Frank Leahy, returning to his duties after a two-week siege of virus. 74,711 at GAME The partisan, sellout crowd of 74,711 was treated to a stirring performance as Penn, a 19-point underdog, fought the vaunted Irish to almot even terms. Ed Gramigna, Penn quarterback, had his greatest day In passing and fullback Joe Varai-tis and halfback Bob Felver ran like berserk bulls through the Irish defense that had cowed all other foes. Lattner's 92-yard touchdown run with a kickoff came in the first period after Penn had stung the top-ranked Irish with a quick opening touchdown.

His great run set off a touchdown reaction for the South Benders who added two more within the space of 10 minutes. Quarter-hack Ralph Guglielmi scored from three yards, after a 68-yard drive and sub quarterback Don Schaeffer, of Pittsburgh, added another on a two-yard sneak on the first play of the second period. MODERN FOUR HORSEMEN This score followed a 33-yard punt return by the elusive Lattner and a 38-yard crunching march by Notre Dame's modern version of the Four Horsemen. Lattner also set up the Irish's final score by twisting 56 yards on a punt'return early in the third period. This carried the ball to the Penn 26 and two plays later Guglielmi threw a 23-yard scoring pass to halfback Joe Heap.

Two of Penn's touchdowns were quickies opening each of the halves. The first Penn score followed a 62-yard drive, spearheaded by Gramlgna's passing and climaxed when halfback Walt Hynoskl went over from the five. Penn took the second half kickoff and moved 73 yards, mainly on the ground with Felver contributing one run of 17 yards and Varaltls another of 15. The touchdown came on a daring five-yard pass from Gramigna to Felver. After Notre Dame's third period score Penn took the kickoff and again drove 73 yards with Varaltls plunging from the one.

8CHAEFER SAVES I'OINT Notre Dame's right guard, a i 1 Mavrairies, converted three points from placement and a fourth came on a run by Schaefer after receiving a bad pass from center. Gramigna kicked two of Penn's points and missed the try after the second touchdown in the third period. Far from beaten Penn started the fourth period as if it Intended to take the game away from the favored visitors. Starting from their own 20, the Quakers opened up an air attack with Gramigna throwing and moved to Notre Dame's nine. The threat was stopped when Lattner intercepted a pass In the end zone.

The all-purpose Irish halfback (Continued on rage 3 Sports) Football Scores On Page 2 Joe Yalch gained 43 in eight. After a scoreless first period in which the teams sparred for an opening, the scoring camp fast and furiously and made the onlookers forget the elements. Moore drew first blood with a 59-yard run on a draw play, a fake pass pn which he dashed through the line and was away up the right sideline. RAMS BOUNCE BACK The Rams came roaring back immediately, with Franz tossing three consecutive passes for 17, 15 and 16 yards and a first down on the seven, from where Mai Stafford went over on a pitch-out which started to the right and wound up going through the middle of the defenders. A third down punt that rolled dead on the 21-yard line set up State's second touchdown.

The (Continued on Page 3 Sports) Races, Grid Tilts Snowed Under Auociatrd Preu Three race tracks, including two major ones in the East, upwards of 20 college football games and scores of high school football contests were cancelled or postponed yesterday because of heavy snows.

The score was 28-21 Fordham rallied three times to tie the score, at 7-7, 14-14 and 21-21, and, State checked the final rally of Ed Danow-ski's ram-paging Rams after it had reached the 13-yard line in the closing minutes. A fine misty snow fell throughout the game, but it could not stop the fine forward passing of Fordham's Roger Franz, who outshone State's Tonv Rados with 15 completions in 23 attempts for 157 yards, against 3 out of 12 for a mere 30 yards by Rados. fiOMINUTE MEN Franz and two of his teammates, Andy Nacrelli, the left end, and Dick Algatt, the right guard, were 60-mlnute iron men. A heavy blanket of snow had to be cleared from the field to make the game possible. State, which remained at a camp 20 miles from the college overnight, was delayed in arriving and the kickoff wns a half-hour late, but Fordham declined to accept a 15-yard penalty for delay.

Oddly enough, the name of the camp is "Hate To Leave It." This was only the third meeting between the rivals, State easily won the first two, In 1316 and '47, by scores of 68-0 and 75-0, nut today it was a different story, with the Rams, who a week ago defeated Miami, 20 0, on the road back toward the heights they once knew. RAMS' PASSING GOOD Whereas Fordham led in passing, 157 yards to 30, State had the edge in rushing, 217 to 110. The first downs favored the losers, 1514, It was that close a game virtually a standoff, as was last week's 20-19 loss by State to West Virgin'a. The game marked the last appearance of State at home and for the first time in four straight games a blocked kxk did not figure in the outcome. Lenny Moore and Char'ty Rlockson, Negro backs, weie the stars for the Lions.

Moore scored two of the touchdowns, the first of the game on a S9-yard run. Bloskson and Ron Younker scored ihe other tno.

Pitt won a ball game but lost All-American tackle Eldred Kraemer for the rest of the season today. Trainer Howard Waite said Kraemer, Injured in the third quarter of the Panthers' victory over Virginia, had dislocated his right shoulder. Taken to the Virginia University hospital where he was given treatment to "reduce the dislocation," Kraemer rejoined his teammates for the train ride back to Pittsburgh. But Waite said he would see no action against North Carolina State and Penn State, Pitt's remaining opponents. The husky junior from Clear Lake, won nationwide recognition last year under the two-platoon system.

This year, playing offense and defensp, he has teamed with end Dick Deitrlck to make the right side of the Panther line well-nigh impregnable. The other half 'of the great end-tackle combination also was a third quarter casualty. Deitrlck suffered a "mild concussion" when he was kicked In RAM TD Malachy Stafford (42), Fordham University back, scoring Becond quarter. Helping to block is Carmine Campisi, Fordham tackle.
