Ten thousand people watched the Maroons carve a 13 to 6 victory In a wild second quarter, the only period they did any scoring.

NEW YORK. Nov.

14 (JP While a crowd of 80,000, a record football gathering for New York City, cheered them from the high reaches of Yankee Stadium, New York University and Fordham fought to a scoreless tie Saturday in the annual renewal of their local gridiron rivalry. Practically next door neighbors, with both campuses only a few' short blocks from tbe scene of the game, the two teams battled to an almost complete stalemate in every department of play. The maroon-clad Fordham players made eight first downs. So did New New York gained- 178 yards by rushing the ball and Ford-bain only 129, but the Maroon took the bail 35 yards by passes to none for the Violet and lost only 30 yards on penalties to 55 for N.

Cain dived over after three plunges.

Cain Runs 60 Yards Johnny Cain put on a little show ter the home folks, when he cut loose with a 60-yard dash soon after the second half began. Johnny headed for left tackle, found a big hole between Ben Smith and Carney Laslie, and then cut to his left. He put on full steam ahead and out distanced two Clemson backs, with tie old bum' knee showing no aeakness whatever. Chesty Moseley, another Montgomery boy, kicked the goal while Johnny held the ball. The score now stood 33 to 7 for the rolling Tide.

Chesty ran the ball 19 yards to Clemson's 20, from where Holley and Cain alternated to the goal line. Holley followed Moseley around right end and went over untouched for the seventh touchdown.

U. RALLIES TO N. C. STATE BEATS BLUE DEVILS, 1(0 Long Runs Defeat Duke Team At Durham; Waders Threaten Late Mississippians Lose Early Lead To Running Game Of Fast Tigers ton's six first downs. The losers tried 12 passes and completed foul BY GAYLE TALBOT Associated Press Spoils Writer PITTSBURGH, NoV.

14 5P) A swirling ground fog that enshrouded the big Municipal Stadium Saturday proved a perfect screen for the passing attack of Coach Jock Sutherland's Pittsburgh Panthers as they took to tt.e atmosphere to hand a strong Army eleven its worst defeat of the season. When the final gun sounded and 62.000 spectators were able to relax from the tiring task of peering through the fog. the scoreboard read: Pitt 26, Army 0. Fourteen hundred Cadets who had sat in dismal silence from the opening whistle made their way out of the arena and prepared to return to West Point. Never Any Doubt There was never a doubt of the outcome, so completely did the Panthers dominate the situation.

Their backs, Heller and Relder, tore gaping holes through the Army ramparts all afternoon and their aerial raids demoralized the Cadets' defense. Not once did the Cadets penetrate Pittsburgh territory. It was only on rare occasions the bare legged Army backs had an' opportunity to carry the ball. Using the forward pass with proficiency, the Panthers pegged aerials through and over the West Pointers for all four of their touchdowns and rolled up a total of 302 yards by that route. The winners collected 16 first downs against three for the Cadets, who made only 32 yards from scrimmage all afternoon.

Had it not been for several stouthearted stands on their goal line, the Cadets, playing before a Pittsburgh audience for the first time, would have gone down under an overwhelming score. Once, in the final period, they checked the Panthers' assault only one foot from the last line. Again they held on their five-yard stripe, and on three other occasions they turned back the charging Pitts inside thu 20-yard line. Panthers Threaten Although they marched to Army's five-yard line in the opening period, the Panthers did not succeed in scoring until the second. Then they struck with startling swiftness.

Collins, regular right end, who never before threw a' pass for Pitt in a regular game, went back far in his own territory as if to kick. It was third down and Army's secondary deployed properly. But, instead of punting, Collins heaved a pass. It nestled in Reider's arms somo 45 yards from the Cadets goal line. He dodged an Army back and sprinted across without a close pursuer.

Heller scored the next touchdown in the third period, when he took a lateral from Reider and jogged 12 yards across. Curit, substitute quarterback, caught a short toss from Heller behind the line of scrim- mage and weaved 40 yards through a broken field for the third. The last one came with minutes left to play, when Heller completed a pass to Sebastian, another substitute, for 24 yards. Sebastian took it almost on the goal line. McCurdo gave the Panthers two extra point with placekicks.

Out of 18 passes attempted, Pitt completed 10 for a distance equal to three lengths of the field. The Cadets completed four out of 15 for 28 yards. Vernon Noses Out Hamilton Team, 14-7 VERNON. Nov. 14 Coach Dan Newman's Bulldogs fought their way io another victory by trimming Hamilton Friday, 14 to 7.

During the first quarter, Hamilton outplayed the Bulldogs and threatened to score but the Bulldogs tightened up and held them until the second quarter when one of the Hamilton backs got loose for a 50-yard run and scored Hamiltons only touchdown. They passed for the extra point. The Vernon boys played Jam-up football in the last half. Just about a minute after the whistle blew for the beginning of the last half, Black received a punt on the 15-yard line and ran 85 yards for a counter. Lof-tis bucked the line for the extra point.

Hamilton received on the kick-off. When Vernon got in possession of the ball, Lofiis showed the fans how to buck the line. He carried the ball the length of the field right through the middle of the line, and Black carried the ball over for Vernon's second counter. Loftis bucked the line for the extra point. Guntersville Trims Hanceville, 13 To 6 GUNTERSVILLE.

Nov. 14-Ben Hudson's Guntersville Wildcats continued their march by defeating a hard-fighting, well -coached football team from Hanceville, 13 to 6. This was one of the prettiest football games ever played at Clvitan Field and a huge crowd enjoyed the classic. "Shorty" Ogle had a well balanced line, and In White, a big 180-pound fullback, he had one of the best backs seen here this year. For Guntersville, the entire team played wonderful defensive football.

Hancevilles only score came on a poorly placed punt which White caught on Quntersville's 30-yard line and raced to a touchdown. Guntersville's first touchdown came within the first two minutes. They worked the onslde kick and after two line plays had failed, a beautiful pass to Beard placed the ball on Hance-vllle's 15-yard line. Beard then scored on a triple pass without a hand touching him. Ogle kicked goal.

Long, a candidate for all-state hon-ors, played a great game. Demopolis All-Star Team Triumphs, 24-0 DEMOPOLIS, Nov. 14 An all-star team from Demopolis defeated the boys of State Teachers College 24 to 0. The Teachers College boys held Demopolis to one touchdown in the first half. It was made In the last minute of play by a line buck.

By line buck and end runs Demopolis made another touchdown In the first four minutes of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Demopolis made two touchdowns. The first one was made by intercepting a pass, the second one by Demopolis completing a 40-yard pass. Coates, of Demopolis, was the outstanding player, making all of its touchdowns. Headley, center for Livingston, played a good defensive game.

Godfrey and R. Hosmer, tackles for Livingston, played a good game also. Baker and White show up well In the backfield for every Qood Thing must end Monday and Tuesday ends your opportunity to own $3500 Suits gainers. Johnny Cain was next with 90 yards in 10 attempts, all of it through the line.

Miller was the only Clemson back to gain over five yards. He had 22 in 11 tries. The Tigers gained 41 yards and lost four during the picnic. Miller and Lambert put up some nice punting for the Neely eleven, averaging 39 yards in nine kicks, despite constant rushing by Alabamas forwards. Cain did not kick for Alabama.
