It took the Pittsburgh Stealers to pump excitement into the old showgrounds, something the Pittsburgh Pirates, of late, have been unable to do.

Buddy Parker's proteges, in the more ompact confines than Pitt Stadium, ignited the big crowd with a play-for-keeps type of performance although the game was billed as an exhibition. And yet it was, as far as Paul Brown apparently was concerned. It seems that Mr. Brown used his hole card, jolting Jimmy Brown just long enough to score a pair of touchdowns. Otherwise, he was going with his second team fullback, Dick Modzelewski.

Also, Papa Brown never once protested a call made against his team. He was too much of a gentleman on the sidelines.

In Krutko, there is a story book fable in the making. Stricken from the roster last year, Krutko has come back -with a genuine fury that stamps him the first string fullback. And the former Al Cree charge, ex of Carmichaels and West Virginia had to beat out at least a half dozen candidates for the job. Larry totaled up the highest chunk of yardage by far, including a 51-yarder near the end of the game which applied the clincher.

Layne's passes to his several receivers were, after a spotty first few minutes, right on the button. Jimmy Orr proved himself Layne's favorite target.
