And, what is more, the defeat was decisive. Outplayed and outgeneralled, the Panthers were overwhelmed by their opponents, and even when they got a couple of lucky breaks that gave them an opportunity to score on State, and the breaks were aggravated by penalties that State incurred, the Panthers efforts to score were frustrated with an ease that was discouraging.

We've seen quite some interference since Warner set up shop in these parts but Bezdek is the fabricator of interference, too. and it worked, like a 21-Jeweled watch yesterday sweeping all before it.

except on some occasions when the Lions essayed wide end runs. These the Panthers could stop in their tracks, but the short knide-like thrusts in close, through the line and just off tackle, penetrated deep into the Panther vitals time and time again.

While I had only two week3 to whip the men into shape for the Dartmouth game, its loss by one touchdown we hold as no great discredit. Our aim at Penn State is to develop teams to build character, win or lose, all the time." Neither team elected a captain for next season after the game yesterday, as was the custom several years ago. The Pitt captain will not be chosen until next week, when the varsity letter cub will meet. There are but three juniors on the Panther team.

These men are Herb McCracken. Bill Horner and Tom Hamberger. As the custom has been to choose a junior it is most likely that one of this trio wi 1 be selected. And, then again there may be a black horse chosen. The majority of the squad are sophomores and it would not be surprising if one of these was picked.

Among the sophomores who might run are Davies, Stein and Merys.

Columbia's committee on athletks has accepted the resignation, and awsoo will leave for Arizona on Soti-day. he said. game, with the ball in Pitt'B terri- did Pitt rip off one of its ad vances and make three successive first downs in their old-style form, and this advance, of which the hero was Andy Hastings, who stood bead and shoulders above his mate? as and all-around player, was turned back long before it became danger-- ous. State Leads East. To the writer it looka as if It will be impossible to escape rating Pennsylvania Stat College at the top of the heap in the East this fall.

The way It smothered mt demonstrates conclusively that it la a team second to none and, though it has been beaten by Dartmouth, the way overrode all other opponents, coupled with the su rer' power and dash of Its attack and the Impenetrable qualities of Its defense esterday Is evidence enough to convince us and many others. Colonel Joe Thompson, for instance After the frame we bumped into him. He. was not hard to draw out. "Yes.

State's the best on the gridiron this fail, ajid that man Higgins is the best end I ever saw. He's wonderful a superman of the gridiron. And there are reasons for Colonel Joe's praise, for did not Higgins sprint 75 yards for a touchdown after receiving a forward pass that was launched behind his own goal line, and thereby cross the Pitt le the t'me with a touchdown that was enough to take the starch out of any or all opponents. Verily, and it was the most spectacular play we've lamped on any gridiron. Poor football? Yes but superb generalship, and the result Justified the long chance and the danger, for it took the ball from State's territory back of -'the Pitt line, removed the menace of the B'ue and Gold, and was the beginning of Pitt's downfalls It was early in the first half.

On Hess' first try at punting after the ItickofT the ball went straight up in the air and Pitt ot It on the State 23-yard line. There Pitt's attack and a penalty incurred by State took the ball to State's six-yard line before the Panthers were checked. Again' Hess went back to punt, standing three or four yards behind his own goal line. In a case of this kind a forward pass Is preposterous unthinkable. And.

simply because it was unthinkable, it was tried. A com plete surprise, it worked like a cnann. like a dream, like a beatific mirac.e. Captain Higgins Marted down the field, stopped on the 25-yard mark, turned, plucked the ball out of the air. and Continued.

Hastings Is Tumbled. The Pitt secondary defense was drawn close in. When Higgins caught the ball none was between him and the Pitt soa: but Hastings, laying baclc about 50 yards more. Enough State men were through to ward off the startled rut backs, and two were ahead of HiSRUis when he set sail down into Hastings' territory. With two determined Interfere bearing down on him.

the startled Andy succumbed almost without a struggle, and Higgins gamboled the last 00 yards in a sort of a diisy. Jazzy Joy-ramble, to the accompaniment of a ghty State paen of rejoicing. Now, we ask you. Isn't that? enough to take the starch out of any team? Anotber State touchdown was the result of a long ramble. It was the third score and came mighty soon after the s-icond half began.

Pie Way was the hero, little Pie Way, about the size of a pint of bard cider liberal: laced with Bourbon and about as strong. It was after Andy had punted and it was State's ball on the Pitt 47-yard line. On the very first play Way passed like sem bodied spirit through a seemingly solid Pitt line, materialized on the si-t and strutted 33 yards for a Bpor milU aO one to trouble him a tall, PESWS E3HlLL9AftST WIN OVER CORNELL DUE TO OPEN GAME PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Uni- versity of Pennsylvania football team closed the season today with a brilliant victory over Cornell in their annual Thanksgiving day games by the sc-re of 24 to (. The Quakers showed superiority over Cornell in every department of the game.

their goal fine was never in danger of being crocked bv the Ithacans. The Red and Jiue played a wide open game, forward passes netting many yards and two tcuchdowns. Cornell showed no offensive power, and in only two critical periods when the goal Une was in danger, did the New York State team exhibit strength in stopping the pennsylvanians. One instance came in the first period, when Pennsylvania had easily wcrked the ball to one yard from the Cornell goal. The Quaker having had an easy time pushing the pigskin along, tried four times to carry it across, but Cornell braced and held her opponents for downs.

Pennsylvania's first touchdown came in the second period, when she scored on a forward pas. Bell to HoppeT. inside Cornell's 10-yard line. In this period Cornell again held Pennsylvania for downs when the ball was within inches of the goal. Ten points were added in tne thtra period on a touchdown by Dught and a.
