Alabama blockers cleared the path alter deception got the runner far up field Aside from this brilliant run the game featured two stout hard-charging lines with neither team able to punch out first downs consistently Alabama bad the best of it however and a penalty for holding early in the third quarter robbed them of a fine chance for another marker SLASHES TACKLE Riley slashed through right tackle for 15 after a penalty put the ball on State 27 Riley and Caldwell made it first down on the two-yard line but a holding penalty threw the Crimson Tide back and its pass attack was not equal to

COLUMBUS Oct 10 By the exclusive and convincing use of football Panthers overpowered Ohio State today 6 to 0 and took the high-road leading toward national championship heights The climax to a hard-fought battle between two stalwart lines carre suddenly and with dramatic swiftness late in the fourth period as Ohio otherwise resourceful defense finally yielded to the sustained forcing

national championship hopes of the battling Buckeyes The Panthers without so much as attempting a single forward or lateral pass of any description the play from start to finish sticking to orthodox attacking methods employing nothing but straight power tactics Pitt registered 11 first downs to Ohio five and rolled up a margin in rushing of 251 yards to 77 OFFENSE LAGS It was the most conspicuous victory for unadulterated fundamental methods of offense witnessed in many a moon and noteworthy particularly for the thoroughness with which Pittsburgh smothered the heralded attack of the Buckeyes offense built upon laterals and trick stuff simply never had a chance The Bucks were only inside Pitt territory once and not for long Summary PITTSBURGH (6) OHIO STATE (8) Positions Daddio LF Wendt

The golden opportunity was tossed to the winds in the fourth quarter when they failed to register after gaining a first down on Au- two-yard line The ball went over less than a foot shy of a touchdown VOLS ARE STOPPED A few plays before that at the start of the period Tennessee drove to the two-yard marker "before they finally lost the ball on downs Earlier the second half the Orange team thundered toward the goal line only to have the drive halted when Phil Dickens attempted a field goal from the U-yard line and missed first and most serious threat was uncorked shortly after the npening kick-off when the Tigers smashed to the Orange one-yard line where the Vols stopped the drive when Capt DeWitt Weaver recovered a fumble on his own three Incidentally Weaver put up one of the most stubborn defenses of his career recovering fumbles breaking through to snag runners for losses and otherwise conducting himself as an a 11 -conference guard But the well-mixed passing bf Jimmie Blake plus consistent driving by himself and Wilton Kilgore and the pass snatching of Joel Eaves was too much in the fmal quarter and thereby lies the story of first conference defeat and its second loss of
