  .PITTSBURG GIVES DOPE BUCKET SPIN AND BEATS “. & J. Unbeaten For Almost Three Years, Presidents Bow Be- fore Partners, 19–⁠0 Pittsburg. November 1S.-Washing- ton and Jefferson’s wonder eleven today was out generated, tut-played and out-kicked by the University of Pittsburg Pantehers. Coach Neale’s warricrs-undefeate for nearly three seasons-lost 19–⁠0 struggle on a muddy gridiron to an eleven that had twice been conquered this fall. A brittle line and slow thinking by the w. and J. secondary defense had much to do with the unexpected re- suits. The visitors, held 2 to 1 fav orites, were swept off their feet In the first few minutes of play. and usually were fighting within the shadow Of their goal line. The first half was rough, but it was gentle play compared with the desperate tearing, slugging football that marked the closing quarters. Fists flew often, players disputed penalties and the officials were kept busy preventing personal clashes. Experts who have been watching gridiron games in Pittsburg for 20 years could not recall a more vivid battle. After a seoreless first periLd Pitts burg began scoring in the second when Flanagan wh.zzed a forward pass to Anderson who spirited 50 yards for the first score. Williams kicked goal. Flanagan followed this up by catching a punt fin midfield and running 40 yards. Hewitt car- ried the ball over. The try for point failed. Erickson, standing On his goal line. seemingly decided to let Williams punt roll across. But the ball bounded queerly and was snared by Jordan. who dove across the goal line. There was no more scoring but there was fighting galore.
