About twenty minutes before game time, a grand rush started and snort order the hig stands were pretty well filled. The I'itt rooters seated themselves on their benches on the side of the field nearest Carnegie Institute. When this space was all occupied, the students spilled themselves over the opposite section of the bis- lot. All were euuiDDed with bright red megaphones. Penn Staters came upwards of strong and the majority of the college rooters assembled in the bleacher at the end of the left wing.

The backfield bleacher was practically empty. Shortly before hostilities commenced. Hand-master Arthur Giles marched into the yard with his University of Pittsburgh musicians. They played a serenade as they marched across the enclosure. The big Penn State band came in later and rendered popular airs.

The head cheerleader of the blue and gold, Scott Conway, and his aides. Hutch Uchsenhtrt, Taxi Corbus and Red Irvine, were instantly on the job and a burst of 'varsity lung-work shook the welkin. Cheerleader Hill of Pennsylvania State college then leaped into the atmosphere and the blue and white cohorts tore loose with one mighty yell. Meanwhile an exhibition of fancy punting took place and at half-past two the warriors trotted out and got busy. THE MID-GAME 0UTBUKST.

Wtien the struggle had reached its halfway point hostilities were halted to permit the students to uncork an immeasurable quantity of pent-up hysteria. Headed by their band the Pitt rooters oozed upon the field. They tangoed, turkey-trotted and waltzed merrily around the enclosure. Penn State's excellent band followed with a parade. Somebody turned loose a crate of pigeons, each of which had a long ribbon attached to its feet, and these birds fluttered over the crowd like so many little aeroplanen and finally found refuge on nearby roofs.

One or two of the doves came down in the crowd and were easily captured, the ribbons having put their flying machinery out of commission. Enthusiasm was not at fever heat among the students, because up to this time nobody had very much to enthuse over. Neither side had scored and the rooters were evidently wondering just what would happen next. But no well-regulated foothall game would be complete without the bubbling-over episode between the halves no more than would fudge taste good without sugar. The cause for some hilarity was destined ti come later in the hatt'o.

In the third period Pitt began the scoring fdunt and then the crowd started dancing and digesting the turkeys and cranberries. Tn the lat quarter both sides did a wee bit of tallying, and this gave the State gang an opportunity to crow along with the locals. Pitt had been triumphant and the Pitt-s-burghers filed out of the field perfectly content. Penn State's gridders marched away with long faces, but they displayed their usual excellent sportsmanship by congratulating their conquerors. Withered chrysanthemums by th ton were strewn around the concrete after the big melee, but they did not come from the coats of the State College contingent.

They were sacrificed by Pittsburghers, who had jarred them off while jumping for joy over the victory of their favorites. in Uy FIjOHK "The tumult and the shouting dies," quote from Mr. Kipling. It's proper hut it should, and even the Pitt under-rrads are hoarse and silent today. But yesterday they had something to make tumult Bonifthitir to make a ehout-ng- about.

This something to make a J.sa over was produced by the Pitt football eleven, wh.eh, ntauKre the to 10 lefeat lia ruled it by Wa.sh-.Jeff some 'veeks back, i.s without a doubt the in th? history of the local teat Laming and football.

HASTINGS' TOE COUNTS. The Pitt team is indebted to the toe of Hastings tor seven of the point which were scored against the visitors.

Two ield goals and a toiiehdown coal were looted by the industrious halfback: the it her six were scored on a touchdow by readna light l.eo Collin-, who smashed iir! way through the whole state team to 'f-gister Hum. State's score came on a ield goal booted over by I. ami), the hig tackle. Although Pitt several tinier threatened score in the halt', the State grid- Ir rs set their teeth, fought back stub- lornly and were abb- to stale off the ad-ance until afler half time. They even once got perilously near Pitt's last line.

Then, when the teams came hack for he second half, things began to happen. Pitt received kickott 1 tastings toting the leather back from the to the yard line. It was the beginning of a Pitt advance that did not halt nor hesi tate until Pitt had scored. First Williamson tore off a run from a kick formation and llimlcy hit the line for 5 more and a first down. Tobin blocked a pass, but Hanley, after taking four yards at end.

shot a forward pass to arisen tor a gam or yams that placed the ball on State's iS-yard ine.

It was a ban -e not to be over looked, and Hastings, standing on tbe State 31-jard line, booked a drop-kick that crossed the liars and was good for three points. CHALK Y'S STKATEGY.

The Lancaster boys were the first to score and in live minutes after time was called they registered a touchdown and kicked a goal. Gettysburg Played a strong come-back game in the second quarter and scored a touchdown with little effort. Hoar's attempt at the goal was a weak effort. During the third and fourth periods Gettysburg had the hall in their possession constantly, but were severely penalized several, times and thereby lost much ground. For Franklin and Marshall the work of Mylin and Evans was the feature, while for Gettysburg the all-around work of Hoar Mark and Weimer was conspicuous The teams used many substitutes and men were taken out and later replaced constantly.

It had the di-sired effect, for Tobin, rattled by the suddenness of the aerial flight in his direction, fumbled the ball while standing on the State 35--ard line. The whole I'itt team was down under the kick like a flash, and in a fierce mixup Pitt and State players scrambled niatlly for the bad. Miller of Pitt was the successful candidate.

After the officials had dug to the bottom of a pile of players he was found on the bottom with the ball in his arms. Thi gave the ball to Pitt on State's 23-yard line, and straightway ensued a period of the hardest fighting ever seen on v. local Held. The State line was 23 yard.s off and Pitt began a slow, ponderous advance, pushed home by main strength. It was as near old-style football as it is possible to make the game toda Without variation the Pitt backs tore into the center of the State line, from tackle to tackle, forcing it back a little at a time through sheer power.

The line was just 23 yards away, but it took 12 bucks by the Pitt backs to cover the distance in face of the desperate opposition of State, which could retard, impede and hamper, but which could not check that irresistible advance. Hanley started it with a six-yard advance through a hole torn bj- the Pitt rushers. Williamson gained his length, and then Tfanlej- made a j-ard each on two-line bucks. Measured it was found that Pitt had just achieved first down on these four plajs. Wil'iamson found an opening and shot for five yards.

cross-bucked for four more. With one yard needed for the first down, bucks by Hanley and Williamson barely covered that 3 inches. THE FINAL EFFORT. Then it was a second first down, with the State s-oal line three yards away and the secondary defense drawn in all in a Stori us hedge under the goal posts. 'Miller hit the.

line for a scant j-ard. More beef was needed, so Collins wrestler, boxer and about '-nf pounds of hard-as-nails fighting man. was sent in to deliver the punch. On the first play Collins, hurled his splendid strength into the living wall, which gave way one yard before Ins bulllike charge. As Stat" ivas expecting the human battering ram to launch itself again.

Williamson crossed them and hit the line himself. When the nigger pile" was untangled the hall was still short of the coveted chalk line, and rue down was left to cover the few inches that were left. There was only one thing to do. The ball was snapped back, the whole mass rpiivered and stood sto sti.l as the Pitt linemen tried to open a hole, with the assist-i nee of the cha rging Pitt backs and as State made a list ga'Iant stand. Into this deadlock plunged Collins on a horiz ntal line, carrying the entire pile back him.

He came to an abrupt stop, out the ball was over the line, and the game as good as won. As the third, period was drawing to a close. State started an advance from its own 4-yard line that, a'ded by two penalties aggregating lo yards assessed against Pitt, was not halted until Pitt's Continued on Page Two.)

By ED. F. Seventeen thousand football fanatics chugged, trolleyed or trudged to ForDe-s stadium yesterday and digested their Thanksgiving gobbler and cranberry fix-in's while the pitiless Pittites proceeded to punch the porcelain lining out of Penu State's garrulous gridders. The spectators were not nearly as sardinieally wedged into the stands as they were o.i the occasion of the recent clash with the "Washington and Jefferson colitg ans, but a conservative estimate would Place the number at a little more than and considerably less than 18,000. That is about the way the figures must stand until the official attendance is handed out.

Chrysanthemums, of course, were in great evidence. These posies ranged in volume from the tiny intant mum, up to the full-fledged cabbagehead size. ie fellow wiio didn't sport a muni in the lapel of his coat, must have felt as though he were sadly behind the style. Hosts of the members of the sweeter sex were attached to entire banks of these football flowers, and these stun ning- bouquets more than up for the handful of mere men who went to the game chrysanthemumle.ss. Some of the wives and sweethearts were so profusely adorned with mums that they appeared to be carrying a forkful of golden straw or pink hay.

OUT-OF-TOWN FOLKS THEEE. The man from Ohio had Buckeye acquaintances on all sides. The etst Virginian was busy shaking hands with neighbors from his native state. The Pennsylvanian was in his element. Beaver Falls.

McKcesport, 1'itcairn, Carnegie. Castle Shannon, McKeie Rocks and all other important corners of Western Pennsylvania, were well represented. Misses and meedames who went more, especially to size up tne other women's headgear, were literally held spllbound by the variegated display of beautiful millinery creations. Fashionable gown, too, formed a bewildering spectacle. Kvery man, woman and child who could wiggle the jaw muscles, tackled the.

turkey feast at home or elsewhere yesterday and that accounts for a tardiness in getting to the game. Kvrn the coppers were, i trifle behind time for they too, had to be fri on the football bird. Thi. greatly helped Young America, for just a'iout 1 -o'clock there was a sudden scramble in street and a bunch of t-( veral dozen urchins (scaled the outer wall like so many ourang-ou ta ngs. These kids saw the game without paying any fare.

Just then a squad of police from the Oakland station hove into vie and the burglarizing ceased. Nearly i uniformed officers looked after the crowd, nut they had little to do for it w.s an orderly audience. PLENTY OF SOUVENIRS. Outside the football lot. the usual swarm of vendors was to be found.

Wagonloads of chrysanthemums were peddled at a handsome profit whi'e mature footballs, ribbons in old gold, blue and white, pennants, canes and other souvenirs were in great demand.

Once No. IS broke loose and made a beautiful dive at the f-et of another player, but he missed his aim and rolled over and over for about lo yards or so.

Just as the ball descended, he tripped all over himself in what, looked to be the pitcher's b. and the ball roliod along while he was tramped on by the onrusn-ing horde.

SLIDE FOR HOME PLATE. A little later, when nearly all of th? players were heaped up in on pile. No. made a high dive and slid right along the top of the mass. I guess he must have thought that he was sliding home for the winning run in the ninth.

Then I heard some one say that State was being penalized for this act, but I couldn't see that No. Z' had ne any worse than the others. Once I saw a Pitt man lift a. State man in the air and give him free transportation for about 10 yards. After the intermission Pitt made what some on" on my left told me was a field -ri- 1.
