  a tired, war-Worn animal, clawed it’s way through the Cardinals of Stanford today, climbed to the final height of an unde:eated season, and from there roared one last challenge to the far West for renewal of the battle, if it cares to, in the Rose Bowl on New Year day. Its conquest of Stanford was by the margin of a touchdown and extra point-7-0. Plainly showing the effects of the hardest schedule any eleven in the East tackled this season, the Panther was content to whip Pop Warmers invading forces and lay its record beside that OF the East’S other mighty undefeated outfit, Andy Kerr’S Red Raiders OF Col gate. To one or the other is certain to go the annual invitation of the West TO meet its best-this year Southern Cali fornia-in the Battle of Roses, and both Colgate and Pittsburgh are in receptive mood. But despite the advantage that might have accrued from meeting the flnal burst of Colgate in downing Brown, Il to 0, Thanksgiving day, with an equally impressive conquest over Stanford today Pittsburgh was content to score and win thereafter with as little energy as possible. THE first quarter was only half i dozen plays old, mostly punts, with the conventional plunge or two separating each kick, when the Pan thers made the first break, took II IN their teeth, and shook from it victory that left Pitt with a record of conquest over Army Notre Dame, Penn sylvania and Carnegie Tech, among others, with only Scoreless ties with Ohio State and Nebraska marring one of the greatest records any Pittsburgh team has compiled. Bob Hogan, a 2l0-pound quarterback, who kicks with fiendiSh skill, both aecurately and for tremendous distances, banged a punt from Is yards back OF his scrimmage line on the 37-yard line, all the way to inches from the Stanford goal, where Ted Daley, brisk little end downed the ball. Stanley Anderson, Stanford fulloacK, Immediately punted back, but he got the ball out only to his 30-yard line. From that point Pitt launched It’s one scoring drive. --..-. In two plays Mike Sebastian, right halfback. and Izzy Weinstock, crunch ing 2OG-pound fullback. ripped through to the Cardinal 11-yard line. Warren Heller tossed short pass to Daley Tor a first down on the 3-yard line. Two plays later he catapulted through tackle for the score and WeinStock place kicked the goal. A s far as the decision was concerned n the game might well have ended there, allowing the $4,000 addlcts who braved freezing weather and the threat of pneumonia to return to thelr firesides and the comforts of home. With but one exception, nothing Pop Warmers men could do had any effect upon the team Jock Sutherland hao coached in the identical system OF the Pacific Coast master. Through the entire game Stanford, with Anderson bearing the brunt OF the attack, gained only A yards from scrimmage and completed only three passes of the I3 tried. AS matter OF fact, counting the 80 yards lost from scrimmage. Stanford finished the day with a net gain of only II yards rush. ing and so yards passing. Once, in the fourth quarter, the Car dinals burst forth with a single offensive that piled up their lone three hrSt downs. In quick succession, Bill Sim, left halfback, running from kick fornlation. drifted through tackle for II yards from his own 20. Anderson tossed a l3-yard pass to Gordon Campbell, and Ernie Cadell took pass that was almost a lateral from Campbell, his quarterback, and ran for StanfordS S longest gain, 80 yards to Pitts 70 yard line. nITTSBURGH, with Weinstock doing L most Of the gaining, aided by Sebastian and Heller, piled up II first downs, carried the ball once INSIDE Stanfo-d’S 2o-yard line in each period, and rolled up 211 yards from scrlmmage. But tie Panthers got inside the lO-yard line only once, in the scoring charge of the first period. Only one ot Heller’s nine passes was completed 1or a 10-yard gain. From the moment Pittsburgh gained the first bulge in the opening quarter the duel was fought in the line. Whne Pitt was content to move along behlnd the slim lead, only remarkable defensive play in the Stanford line kept Heller, always a threat, and Sebastian from breaking loose time and again. Particularly Bill Corbus, right guard and the best lineman on the field. stood out in the duel of forward walls, rip ping apart the Panther interference, chasing backs to the sideltne, smearlng them when they turned in. Don Colvin, on one end, and Bill Doub, on the other, broke up Puts vyide rwaenS cOntinuallV Against this Cardinal forward wall, none of the Pitt backs could get away for any great distance, though Vein stock broke through center couple OF times for 20 yards. He was In the clear once in the final quarter, breaking aWay from his 35-yard line, but he was called back because Corbus had stopped him momentarily as he hammered the line. IN similar fashion did Joe Skladany, L a big, wor&manlikc end, hold the Panther fort along with Ted Daley on the other wing, Paul Cuba and Frank Walton, pair of 220-pound tackles, and the burly center trio Of Charles Hartwig, Joe Tormey and Turry Order.

  Pitt Wants Rose Bowl Tilt After Win Over Stanford Major Sasse’s last Army outfit was the final word in power, brains and reSourcefulneSs But Notre Dame slaughtered the Cadets. Pitt whipped Notre Dame by the convincing margin of two touchdowns. The more one looks at that back-breaking Pitt schedule which was negotiated without a defeat The more one is of a mind to hand tne PantherS the medal. The question of the hour hero now is whether or not Pitt will get the Rose bowl invitation. some 1olks insist that Pitt went in the game against Stanford with the as surance that victory would earn # the honor. Others argue that coast of1clals want Michigan and that Big Ten moguls may set aside the ruling against post season games and let the Wolverines travel west Still others think Auburn or Col gate will get the bid.
