  Fi|ipski, FormerC Cadet, Helps TO Deal Tigers Their First Loss, 14–⁠7 CLEMSON. S. c.. Sept. 81 Two breath-taking, third-quarter plays gave Villanova a lat VIC tory over Clemson today in a meeting of previously unbeaten football powers. Halfback Gene Filipski, former Army player, sped 56 yards around right end for the first score and Quarterback Bill Brannau contacted End John Marcus deep in the end zone with a 26-yard toss to break up what had been a savagely contested battle of two fine lines. Clemson struck back with an early fourth period score, Fullback Jim Shirley smashing four yards of tackle for the score to cap a 60-yard march. But the Tigers never threatened to get the equal izer as the Pennsylvanians kept pretty much on top of the proceedings thereafter. A record overflow crowd of $4,000 watched the intersectional rivals go at it hammer and tongs in 80-degree weather. Clemson plays the University of Maryland next Saturday at College Park while Villanova meets Detroit. villanova - 0 IA Ola Clemson o O = Scoring: Villanova. touchdowns-Filipski Marcus.
