Pitt defeated the Navy this afternoon, 20 to' 19, in a football game that was characterized by errors of omission and commission on the part of the Pittsburghers. That the midshipmen did not win was not the fault of Coach Warner's pupils, for they seemed to be bent upon handing the annual affair to Uncle Sam's future admirals. The Navy scored three touchdowns, and two of them were the result of loose handling of the ball, so loose in faet that players on the average high school team if guilty would be ashamed of themselves. The thrrd touchdown was the result of a 60-yard run by Welchel, who carried a punt through the Pitt team to the one-vard line, from which point it was rushed over. The touchdowns Pitt made were the result of a well developed running attack, which swept the midshipmen before them when Hastings and DeHart were carrying the ball.

The story of the touchdowns is told briefly. Early in the first quarter, Meadows fumbled on the Pitt 10-yard line and Manin, the Navy right picked up the ball and scooted across the goal line. No goal resulted. Then Pitt got its offense started and rushed its way across the midshipmen's goal line for touchdown, Hastings carrying it. He kicked goal.

That put Pitt one point ahead, and the game appeared safe especially after McLaren had rushed through the Navy forwards for the second touchdown in the second period, after which Hastings kicked goal. This touchdown- came after Meadows had fumbled a punt in midfield, but Quarter.

The visitors were entirely on the defensive and failed to make any impression on I the Tech line. Ketner it Star of Day. Sunny Kesfier, the diminutive quarterback, was easily the star of the game. Behind a wall of interference l.e ran the ends for long gains. Several of his runs were for 30 and 40 jards.

Finlay played a great game at kft half, and proved a tower of ctrrasui im wiu 1.1 ft nse. Altdoerfer, the star of the Tech backfleld, was hurt in the third quar- ter and forced to retire. Brunwasser, successor, tore great holes in the 'isitors' line, and on one occasion broke through the Grove City forwards and ran 6-3 yards for a touchdown. Tech scored within the first two mm- tiles of play, when right recovered a fumble on Grove City's six-yard line and on two plays Altdoerfer carried the ball over for a score.

Pennsylvania's defeat was primarily due to a fumble of a punt by Quarter- back Bert Bell in the second period. Bell let a Swarthmore player get the ball on Pennsylvania's 30-yard line and after working it five yards toward Pennsylvania's goal. Halfback Michael tossed a pretty forward pass to Full- back Bush and the latter dashed over the line for a touchdown before a Penn-0 sylvania player could lay hands on him.

Shnrtlv after the kickoff, Welchel took the ball near the 40-yard line. swerved to the left a few feet and men suiritu MmiBv went through the enftre Pitt team. It eeemed that every man was depending upon the other fellow to bring him to earth. By going straight he was soon through all the forwards and was out in the open running for touchdown, with DeHart to the left of him and Hastings to the right, neither within five yards.

Finally Hastings grabbed him around the neck and pulled him down on the one-yard line, after a hot chase. The touchdown, which should have been Welchel's because of his alertness and eool-headedness. and the stupidity of Pitt, was denieti him, as Ingram went through the line for the counter. The resultant goal was kicked. Still it looked safe for Pitt, but Warner's pupils were not through yet.

The offense was powerful enough to carry DeHart right up to the shadow of the Xavy goal line, wheie DeHart, on a delayed pass, went around the N'avy right flank for a touchdown. Hastings missed goal. This lead seemed too big for the Pittsburghers and they began to develop butter fingers again. Touchdown from Forward Pa: Gougler fumbled a punt in midfleld and the N'avy recovered, but Pitt made the future seamen let loose of it. There was another punt to be handled, and this time Miller fumbled on the Pitt 20-yard line and Davis fell upon it for the Navy.

Then a fast offense was unleashed. Davis finally hurled a forward pass to the left of the Pitt line. McN'ulty made a flying leap for it, barely batting the ball to earth. Instead it nestled in the arms of Von Heimburg who scooted across the goal line for touchdown. Tne midshipmen held their breath as Holtman tried for goaL He missed and Pitt was saved the defeat by the slender margin ot One point.

The Navy players went oft the field in good spirits, but not Pitt. "Maybe this won help us beat the Army, shouted one young midshipman from liidgway. to the writer as he ran oft the field, and that expressed the sentiment of all concerned. Bad Day for Pitt. Every football team has its off day just the same as a baseball team, but Pitt was so far off color today as to bear no resemblance to a championship team.

It's big line played as if it was a fixture. The interference was almost absent. A fair criticism of the team would be to say every man played far below his standard, from Peck down with the exception of Jimmy DeHart's offensive play whic was good.

When a ball did go directly at a Pennsylvania player, a Swarthmore man was usually there to spoil the play.
