The power OF Pitts backs hardly can be measured by the score OF the game. as the Quakers were continually on the defensive and always making n gallant stand under the shadow OF their own goal posts. Only this tenacious fighting spirit OF the visitors Kept Pitt from registering a more lopsided triumph. Dehart did most of the pounding. His rushes into and through the Penn for wards showed the bail by short gains across the field and into the. danger ‘sone. Here Penn usually braced with such strength Pitt was temporarily checked. but then IL was Hastings who coolly dropped back ten yards n with his line men making an im%pregnable bar fier twice lifted the ball over the cross bar for field goals. His first goal from = the field few straight and true over the goal posts it the opening period. His second attempt was converted into u score In the next period. ? Four Piunxcs 20 score. Tho frst touchdown was vic!ously d. earned and brought compliments to every member OF the fighting Pitt machine. Just before the first period ended Penn was forced to kick from its Ave yard line.

Four times Deaart ca;apulled into the line. and II was not until the fourth charge that he was able to place the bail on the far side OF the final chalk mark. Penn had made its fight and had lost. but proved to every one OF the thou sands in the stand that in losing Penn stands out as “A team of warriors worthy OF every laurel. That stand against the ali powerful Pitt combination, although nding In a touchdown and Of course success. reflected not against Penn but rather for Pitt.

Rough Game IL Seen. There was a lot Of rough playing on each side. However. II was not until ths fourth period that this detractins . part OF the struggle stood out.

II was one o, the hardest fought battles ever staget here. Capt. Berry OF Penn played wonder fu.ly for the first two periods and wa, so battered by that time he was force, from the field, giving way to Qulgley . strangely enough as soon as Berry wa! taken out Penn seemed TO take on new life and played better from that poin. until the end OF the game.
