SMITH, Sporting Editor. PITT'S inaugural of the. 1924 season on familiar soil was given a. decided tinge bf Maroon.

Lafayette defeated the Panther, 10 to 0, at Forbes Field yesterday and did it in a manner thorough and decisive. Not a person among the 15,000 who watched the ebb and flow of battle throughout 60 bitter minutes but were willing to admit that the margin of the Eastonians' triumph was a criterion of the relative strength of the elevens. The Maroon went into the lead in the second quarter when Capt, Btrry dropped back from his left end position and toed the oval over the crossbars from the 33-yard line. This advantage grew more commanding as the game waned and the victory was driven home irrevocably in the nal canto as Klrkleski, hard-driving right halfback, blazed a dizzy path around Pitt's right wing and joyously tumbled over the goal line for a touchdown, following a consistent 35-yard march in to territory.

This he did with an unerring placement kick and the Lafayette stands rocked with the cheers that bespoke a certain success. On the Maroon bench sat Herb Mc-Cracken, the youngest coach of any major college in America, watching his magnificently drilled though somewhat battered legion defeat his Alma Mater.

Across the barred turf Jock Sutherland slouched on the Panther bench mystified at the failure of his potentially powerful attack to func-ticra. Intimate Friendf. Each a graduate of Warner School of Football, and the most intimate of friends. McCracken and Sutherland yesterday matched their strategy for The first time. The aided materially, by a team that drummed through its work as a single unit, was far in the lead.

For the 24-year-old mentor, the victory was sweet, indeed, it being his first major conflict since he assumed the reins at Easton. To Sutherland, the silent Scot, yesterday's reversal must have been a keen disappointment. If ever there was a team that looked handcuffed on the field, it was the Panther. Pitt's defense from tackle to tackle was admirable, but each wing was a parade-ground for Lafayette backs. The old Gold and Blue's attack was a pitiful thing to behold.

Without diversity," It was based almost entirely on Gustafson and Harding, the former hurtling into the center of the line time after time in generally fruitless attempts to find a hole, the latter driving off tackle behind interference that simply would not form. Forced to fall back on forward passing in the second half. Brown and Harding, flung pass after, pass, but with disastrous effect. Ail in (all, the Panther attempted to strike from above on IS occasion. Six were intercepted, as many fell harmlessly to the ground and four were completed for a net gain of three yards! It was next to impossible to probe through the skillful Lafayette defense, led by Captain Berry.

The Maroon, on the otner hand, while not particularly varied in its mode of attack, had the more open offense, intermixing short passes over the line with sweeping end runs and terrific lunges at the tenter and off tackles. McCracken's backfieid was by far the most experienced and the harder bitter of the two. while the interference which the visitors gave their ball-carriers wa beautiful to behold, the Panther's secondary de fense having a busy day of Captain Betty Stan. Lafayette rolled up two first downs in the first quarter, four in the see ond. one in the third and one in the final for a total of eight.

Not until the second period did Referee Al Sharpe wave the linesmen ahead for the Panther. Twice the Sutberlanders negotiated the prescribed 10 yards in the second quarter and once again in tbe fourth. Their limit was three and they failed to make the distance a. single time in the initial and third stanzas. Pitt's backs were troubled through out the battle by mediocre passing from center.

Mad Marsh Johnson was wild as a left-bander pitcher on more than one occasion, preventing the hacks from leaping into action with precision or confidence. Aside from Kirkleski and Chick noski. who bore the brunt of the Maroon's driving, the outstanding player the field vras Captain Berry, six feet of a sterling end, who is MMiiiir rii vpfln rf meritAriona worlc end can do.

A 10-yard scamper by Chicknoski, a pass, Ernst to Chicknoski, for 30 yards, and another jOssault by the valiant Chicknoski put' the oval but 11 yards from the Panther goal, but here Pitt held heroically, and it waa then that Capt. Berry drop-kicked his team into the lead, never to be headed.

Intercepted passes, frequent fumbles an quick exchanges of the ball made the third and fourth quarters thrilling. In one brier but hectic flurry, Chicknoski intercepted a pass by Bob Irwin, who had replaced Jess Brown, only to see Millman lose the ball to Pitt on a fumble in the nest play, and Chicknoski intercepted a pass for the second time in the trio of scrimmages. It was the Panther's desperation and resultant aerial attack that gave the Maroon its opportunity to count the touchdown. Kirkleski. back in the game after giving way to Mill- man, snared a pass tossed by Brown, giving Lafayette the ball but 35 yards distant from the Pitt goal.

Chicknoski, breaking loose, raced 21 yards, and the Gold and Blue was backed up on his own doorstep. Six plays later the pigskin was nestling in Kirklcski's arms deep in the Pan ther's sacred confines. Ernst used Kirkleski, Gebhard and Chicknoski to work the play up to Pitt's two-yard line, and then, with the Panther expecting Gebhard to hit through center, Kirkleski wheeled far around his left wing for the touchdown. The final minutes of play saw Pitt recklessly throwing passes, three being tossed for a net loss of five "yards and the fourth intercepted by Ford, Lafayette lineman. The Maroon was lining up for another attack- goal- ward from the 19-yard chalk when the whistle blew.
