The Panthers were sheer dy- Mantle as Goldberg. stebbins and Patrick smashed through Notre Danes defense in three touchdown, fourth quarter drive that earned Pitt & 2l-6 triumph last week. Nebraska, on the other hand, had to come from behind to gain q 1918 draw with Kansas. Notre Dame will invade the east to give battle to Army. which took advantage Of Harvard tumble in the fourth quarter to pull out a hardly deserved 7–6 decision. Penn, out pointed by Penn State TO, plays Michigan’s Wolverines, who had to score twice in the last four minutes to nose out Chicago 1912. Manhattan, TO upset conqueror OF Detroit, will entertain North Carolina State, which ran up a 26–14 count or Citadel.
