"BATTLE OF HASTINGS'' By FliORENT GIBSON. ASTINGrS that name has a warlike sound. 'Way 'back in 1066 A.

long before the forward pass was invented, before the supremacy of the Yale-Harvard-Princeton trium virate was threatened, before Walter Camp placed a Western man on 'his All-American, there was a "Battle of Hastings" fought, if we're correctly schooled, on Sussex soil. (The first name of that Hasting, we've heard, was Senlae or Santlach; the Hastings of which we write today is further described as Andy, or "Hastings There was another "Battle of Hastings" yesterday, at Forbes Field soil but hold! We're forgetting that true first revival of the Saxon-Norman classic was staged on Forbes Field-last year in that contest, if we err not, "the Red" scored about 17 points against State, and he had previously scored a few against Wash-Jeff in a ureliminarv skirmish.

Let us briefly enumerate the high points in Hastings activities we find a heap more interesting than speculating upon the Colgate victory over Brown, Penn's defeat of Cornell, and what arguments the Eastern scribes and critics will produce to aid them in concluding that Pitt's eleven isn't the best in the country. First When Penn State halted the Pitt onset in the opening quarter, Hastings dropped back and booted a field goal from the 12-yard line.

Second Hastings tossed a forward pass to Pat Herron "Herron from Monessen" that was good for a 43-yard gain and a touchdown. Third Hastings slipped around right end for a 75-yard gain and a touchdown. Fourth Hastings forward passed to Jimmy DeHart for a 28-yard gain and a touchdown. Fifth Hastings kicked a field goal from the 32-yard line. And all these things happened in the yat mind vou.

This was Captain Jeff Clark, the Blue and White fullback, who bade farewell to the gridiron. This 180-pound six-footer from Harrisburg played a star game for his alma mater, a game which, against less strong opponents, would have materially assisted in attaining victory- He was the only one who could produce much of an impression on the Pitt line. He played earnestly and well.

HOW SCORES WERE MADE. Yesterday's performance of the Panthers was the most versatile it has shown this season. It showed a more varied attack than It ever did, and, again6t mighty strong opposition, it shifted and feinted and maneuvered in a surprising manner.

Jimmy' individual performance was just as good as ever it was, and his generalship could not be improved upon. But the attack when Pitt couldn't advance by straight football it tried tricks.

When tricks failed it made good use of forward passes. When the running attack was halted dead, the field goal route was open, in spite of the heavy, miry fleld. It is worthy of note that Hastings, who booted two out of three field goals, failing one from the 50-yard line, but making the other two, couldn't toe the ball over from touchdown on two attempts. When it is mentioned that Pitt made 2t first downs and State made two, the reason for the 31 points is obvious. But lots of Pitt's first downs had no part in th scoring, as State checked advance after advance, especially in the second half, and only once did Pitt march right down to the State goal line and make a touchdown.

Three of Pitt'6 four touchdowns were long-distance affairs, first from the 48-yard line on a toss to Herron, then from the 75-yard mark on Hastings' run, and then on the 2S-yard run by DeHart from a forward. Only in the second half, in which Pitt was held to a lone touchdown, did Pitt rush the ball right down and score. By ED F. BALIXGER," Post Sporting Editor.

Warner's University of Pittsburgh football eleven rounded out its second consecutive string of victories, by defeating Richard Harlow's famous team from Pennsylvania State College. The final score was 31 to 0. The attendance was about the largest crowd that ever Avitnesscd a football game in this part of the United' States. The seating capacity of Barney Dreyfuss' big grandstand is 17,000 and this was completely filled, while many spectators stood along the rear aisles. The.

Left Tackle Claude Thornhill and Right t.nd Pat Herron. Their loss doesn't shatter the Pitt line, but it leaves three uncommon large holes All three distinguished themselves tout Herron's farewell was the most sensational as he absorbed a forward pass from Hastings and ran some 30 yards for a touchdown through a field perilously 6trewn with State tacklers, after getting the pass some 18 yards ahead of the line of scrimmage. In many other ways Pat made himself felt and he guarded his flank more Jealously than ever before. No other end, save Hube "Wagner, has played such a game for Pitt as Herron has and none has been more dependable. Claude Thornhill.

This is eminently fitting that State should back Pitt up to Pitt's own goal line and threaten to score. It happened soon after the second half started, when the Blue and Gold athletes had taken a decided brace, and the two first downs State engineered were consecutive ones and took the ball deep into Pitt's territory.

State started when Hess intercepted a forward pass of Hasings', which gave State the ball on Pitt's 44-yard line.
