Pitt Swamps Duke in Stadium Opener; Heels and Deacons Win PANTHERS SHOW GREAT MACHINE TO 20,000 FANS Pitt's Powerful Eleven Gets 52-7 Victory Over Blue Devils DUKE SCORES LATE IN GAME BY PASS ROUTE Uansa, Williams, Parkinson and Rooney Prove Horsemen of Panther Team and Sparkle With Long Runs; Nick Warren Is Duke Ace; Devils Rely On Passes By ANTHONY J. McKEVLIN. News and Sports Editor. Duke University Stadium, Oct. 5.

-Pitt's powerful Panthers, ing perfectly more often than not, showed 20,000 football fans and stadium connoisseurs a great grid machine here today as they rolled up a 52 to 7 score against Duke's Blue Devil in the dedication game of this university's new stadium. It will probably be a long while before another team as capable as the 1929 Pitt model will perform on the turf of the new Duke athletic plant, which has a capacity of 35,000. Folks here today, including some who come under the old-timer group, could not recall the appearance before in North Carolina of as smooth a machine as that presented today by Dr. Jock Sutherland, Pitt mentor. And the precision and perfection in plays of the Panthers was not confined to its first-stringers.

Sutherland used close to three dozen players and, whatever the combination, the blue and gold jerseyed boys from Pennsylvania were always clicking. Pitt Scores In Hurry. No one expected Duke to beat Pitt. The Panthers of 1929 are rated as one of the East's best teams. But, no one expected such a onesided affair as was unrolled for the dedication act in this beautiful new athletic plant: Traffic jams delayed many fang for much as five or ten minutes--and those who came in within ten minutes of the kickoff found that they, had already missed two Pitt touchdowns.

However, they saw some half dozen other Pitt counters and there was plenty of scoring to 1 be had -including a touchdown by Duke in closing minutes of the game. The Devils, offensively, offered of the promised deception in attack. Pitt, on the other hand, had deception and well nigh perfection. The way the Panthers protected their ball-carriers was a treat. As a football exhibition the game could not be rated high; it was too onesided.

But those who came saw a great grid machine in action--and long will they recall the array of Pitt backs who turned in sprints of all lengths behind an interference which guarded ball-carriers as an armored car protects money en route to the mint. Duke Scores Near End. Duke's main aim was to score. The Devils reached that aim in the last five minutes of play when Buie flipped a heave of some 30 yards to Flop Beaver, who ran 30 yards more to the Devil touchdown on the new feld. The pass gained 53 yards, in all, and ended a Duke drive which had begun on the locals' own 13- vard line.

Passes by Buie to Beaver and Rosky had totaled 24 yards, then Coleman and Buie connived for first down on line plays. The pass to Beaver foflowed two unsuccessful aerial efforts after a first down on Duke's 37. The Devils didn't play football as it's ordinarily played. They were out to score, as related, and they centered on trying it by the air route. In all, 39 passes were attempted by Duke, 15 of them being completed and 24 failing.

Three of the two dozen unsuccessful heaves were intercepted. Pitt went in for 11 aerial efforts, completing five, having five to fall incompleted, and one intercepted. Duke was ever passing, deep in its own territory or anywhere else. The passing game of the Dukemen was their brightest and best offensive bet against the Pitt defense, but it didn't look right to see a team passing time after time with the ball within a score of yards or so of its. own goal.

Incidentally, the Devils pulled a queer play in the second period after getting 8 first. down on Pitt's 17- yard line. One pass failed and Pitt was offside. This made it Arst and five, with the ball on the 12-yard line. They tried a pass, it grounded behind the goal line and it was Pitt'a ball on its own 20-the play lost yards and at the same time lost the Derils three more tries for a score.

This boner ended a Duke march from its own 28-yard line, which had been featured by a 44. yard gain on a pass, Buie to Robeson. Pitt's Big Four. Heading the galaxy of above-theordinary backs which the Panthers presented scoring revue were Toby Uansa, Harold Williams, Tom Parkinson and James Rooney. "Twas this quartet, in the, order named, which performed in jerseys numbered 19, 20, 21 and 30, And how they performed! Uansa got in the spotlight at the start when he returned the kick-off 45 yards to Duke's 45, followed it up with 15-yard off -tackle slice and came through with a 10-yard gain two plays later.

Two more plays and Williams had gone around end (Contiaued On Page Two-0.)

As Virginia Capital Dedi- cates Stadium Richmond, Oct. University of Richmond Spiders today bowed to the Wake Forest Deacons, 19 to 0, to inaugurate the opening of Richmond's new $150,000 municipal stadium. The light Spider team was no match for their heavier Baptist brethern of North Carolina and at no time during the contest did the local eleven really threaten.

They were unable to penetrate the Dacons' heavy line and registered only two first downs while their opponents chalked up eleven. And while the Spiders' captain and halfback, Doug Gunter, and their field general, Dohrman, made gallant and at times effective attempts to approach within striking distance of the Wake Forest goal, the Deacons matched and surpassed their efforts with Halfback Hipps, and Quarterback Quillen, who scored two of the visitors' tallies. Richmond put up a better fight in the opening period than at any other time Carolinians during the game. The North held a slight, if any, advantage during the initial period and the quarter ended with neither team having approached within striking distance of its opponents' goal. It was in the latter part of the first period that Hipps was sent in to replace Captain Cox in the Deacons' lineup.

Shortly after the opening of the second quarter Hipps took a Spider punt and returned 12 vards to Richmond's 38-yard line. On the next play he plunged off tackle and stiff-armed or sidestepped Richmond's secondary defense to reach the open and dash 38 yards for the first touchdown of the game and the first touchdown scored by a college player in the new stadium.

20,000 WITNESS DUKE SPECTACLE Pitt's Panther, Duke's Blue Devil, Bands, Cheering, Give Money's Worth NOTABLES ARE PRESENT Young Tony Duke Brings Out Ball; Game Starts On Time and Many Are Late By CHARLES PARKER. Staff Correspondent. Duke University Stadium, Oct. Twenty thousand customers went about proving here this afternoon that it's the spectacle that packs 'em in at the big games nowadays. Nobody had much idea that Duke could lick Pitt anyway, so there weren't many pangs on behalf of the home talent to be deferred to when the big blue and gold eleven began demonstrating from the start that it was the smoothest working gridiron troupe ever to show in these parts.

Fixings Were There. The fixings were there to make the spectacle, and if anybody didn't consider worth it all of their $2.50 the complaint wasn't loud enough to be heard the refund office. Even those who got completely enmeshed in sundry traffic jams and didn't get to risk their fall bonnets under threatening skies that canopied the stadium until near half-time got their money's worth. It was a spectacle such as North Carolina stages only now and then. It was a spectacle with all the ings that make football the biggest money game in the business today.

Duke had a band and a cheering section that stacked right up with the noisy contingent from Western Pennsylvania, and with the flag raising and presence of the Governor and official party and the Duke Foundation notables a spectacle was provided unmatched since the University, years opened ago up and its filled own it stadium with rabid partisans of two State Universities. Duke has outdone Carolina in the size of its stadium, providing seats for 35,000 instead of the 26,000 guaranteed at the Uniyersity, but doubtless the weather was responsible for the vacant sections at the ends of the field -the weather or the bottlenecks into which traffic jammed and had holders of perfectly good ducats strolling in all the way from 7 to 0 in favor of Pitt to -time when the Panthers were sitting on top of a 26-point advantage. Raleigh sent over some of its cops to help Durham's finest out with the jam, and Captain Farmer had a contingent of State Highway Patrolmen on hand. The business was handled about as well as humanly possible, considering the law about only one automobile being able to occupy the same space at the same time. On Time Too Soon They started the game on time, which was too soon for many ticketmissed holders including newspapermen who the dedication exercises which it was learned at second hand were run off in accredited style with the hauling up of the flag, and the placing of the football on the field by year-old Tony Duke, grandson of B.

N. Duke, and the great-nephew of J. B. Duke, the university's principle benefactors. Any attempts at speech-making would have been futile.

The stadium is entirely too vast for anything less staccato than quarter-back's signals. Two parties viewed the game from roving perches without regard to parking troubles, but they constantly let their airplanes dip too close to the field and the crowd did not show any warm enthusiasm for the aerial (Please Tara to Page 3-0) BALL ROLLING YYY RO 5 GOAL I DUKE PITT A P5 AND QUARTER DUKE peTr 339 QUARTER OUKE ATT SCHULTZ BOIE TO ROSKY BOONE CLUB TIES CATAWBA ELEVEN Appalachian Battles Indians To Scoreless Deadlock at Salisbury Salisbury, Oct. -Catawba College and the Appalachian State College gridders battled to a scoreless tie on the Catawba field this afternoon.

Look at This CAVALIERS TRIM LAVAL'S ELEVEN Virginia Gets 6-0 Victory in Game of Much Gaining and Few Points ered.

Cavaliers Go Over. Columbia, S. Oct. afternoon of magnificent offensive football at Melton field today oddly enough yielded but one touchdown and, when the referee signed off, the University of Virginia Cavaliers had flattened the University of South Carolina Gamecocks by the score of 6 to 0. The final score bears false witness AN to what actually happened.

The Messrs. Thomas and Sloan others, for Rhame Virginia and Zobel and the and Messrs. others for South Carolina did a lot of football toting A8 they swept throngh brittle forward walls. That the final punch was lacking proved to be one of football's cute little ironies. The Cavaliers won at South Carolina's -own game.

With Bill Thomas as their sparkplug, they made many marches up and down the field. In the first quarter one of these marches reaped that one and only counter. On the kickoff Virginia, without relinquishing the ball had swept down field with a diversified attack to South Carolina's seven yard line. The climax WAR A pretty pass, Sloan to Byrd. Then a bad pass from center turned the tide, Gressette, who played smart end for the Gamecocks, After Zobel had punted out of danger the Cavaliers unleashed another terrific offensive.

Another pass, Sloan to Peyton, with a 15 yard gain WAS a high light. Kaminer- and Bryant began to buck the Birds' line with telling short gain thrusts. They sneaked and they spun and then Bryant careened off guard for the final 36 inches. Sloan, essaying a drop- failed to get the extra point. The longest run in the game took place in the third period when Thomas, the flashiest gladiator on the visiting club, got away for 49 yards on a straight off -tackle play.

'Crip" Rhame finally brought him down on South Carolina's 33-yard line. In the fourth period South Carolina tried its entire bag of tricks in an effort to get across the goal line. They gave the Cavaliers a mighty scare and they gave the fans tremendons thrills, but they failed in their purpose. Virginia S.

College Park, Oct. ing a mixture of -tackle sprints and long forward passes, the Univers sity of North Carolina today defeate ed Maryland's Old Liners, 43 to 0.

The Tar Heels out weighed and out distanced the home club, experiencing little trouble in executing their smooth Notre Dame style of attack. Jimmy Ward, Yank Spaulding and Strud Nash, backs and Captain Ray Farris, guard, did the brunt of the work for the winners. J. Norris, sophomore end and Lomard, tackle, proved willing workers for Maryland's defense, but the Tar Heels outran all defenders. The work of Evans and Chalmers in the Maryland backfield flashed at times.

Carolina established a 19 to 0 lead in the first half when the Tar Heels mixed occasional pass with off tackle and end sprints near the close of the first period. Evans punted short from Maryland's 14- yard line to Strud Nash, who returned four yards to Maryland's 36- yard line. Ward passed 15 yards to Nash who ran eight more to land's 15-yard line.

Maryland halted two Carolina saults on the goal in the third ter, the first attempt being stopped when Madigan intercepted a pass. Play throughout was all in the Old Liner's territory. Carolina pulled an old trick when Ward dropped off to left side on the field, the Terrapins failing to see him and took a pass from Harden to score after racing 42 yards.

The kick was poor. The quarter closed before North Carolina could score again with the ball on the 40-yard line. Both teams, using numerous substitutes, were unable to progress much in the final period. A pass, however, in the last few minutes gave Carolina another score. son passed to Branch who ran 64 yards for goal.
