WISCONSIN SLATE SMEARED BY PITT Goldberg TalIies Twice in 21–0 Win With CasSiano Worthy Successor. ~ ITTSBURGH, October 23- - Pitts mighty Panthers rolled in great waves up and down q soggy gridiron today and three times the tide splashed over Wsconsin’s goal line for touchdowns to give the Rose Bowl champions a 21-to-0 victory. Marshall (Biggie) Goldberg, the sturdy mountaineer from Elkins, w. Va, scored two OF the touchdowns, took a warm shower and dressed before the third period was half over. The 81 200 fans who sat through rain and snow to watch the hitherto undefeated intersectional foes battle in Pitt Stadium then saw Sophomore Dick Cassiano enter the melee and storm his way to another touchdown and run up total of I’ll yards gained in less than two periods. Big Bill Daddio, Pitts great left end, place-kicked an extra point after each of the touchdowns, which were distributed one to the first period and two to the third. The Panthers, in rolling up IA first downs and 352 yards from scrimmage, were stopped twice inside the 5-yard line and had one touchdown called back because a guard was in motion.
