Pitt Scores on Placekick
and Touchdown; NYU
Bows to Fordham
DUKE STADIUM, Durham, N.
C. Nov. 27-P)-The Golden Pan
thers of Pittsburgh cashed in on
two opportunities afforded -by
Duke fumbles this afternoon to
finish an undefeated season with
a 10 to 0 victory. ,
The Kose Bowl champions, high
in the running for another bid in
spite of an early season scoreless
tie with Fordham, found the Blue
Devil line tough but showed an
overflow crowd of 40,000 they had
the punch when needed, even In
an intermittent .drizzle.
Captain Frank Souchak- of the
Panthers kicked a 23-yard place
ment field goal just before the
first quarter ended. He had paved
the way by" recovering Honey
Hackney's fumble on Duke's 20.
Hackney dropped the slippery ball
when hit hard by Ted Schmidt
as he tried to catch a punt.
Dick Cassiano added the touch
down about four minutes later
when he swept wide off his right
end, but back and raced 14 yards
to score standing up. Souchak was
rushed into the game to add the
poiht by placement.
Another fumbled punt by Hack
ney, who saw the wet pigskin slide
through his hand on his 13-yard
line, paved the way.
The Blue Devils staged only one
real threat. George McAfee, fast
stepping Bophomore back, raced
brilliantly 47 yards to Pitt's 18
yard line late in the first half.
On first down Harwood Smith
flipped a pass to McAfee for six
yards but another flip failed.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27 -()-Fordham's
"Rose Hill to Rose
Bowl" football express roared
through its last way station today
with - a 20-7 victory over New
York university, and then looked
ahead for the signal from Pasa
dena and the post-season classic.
In the mud and rain of Yankee
stadium, before a crowd of 65,000,
the Ram limited was slowed down
and several times sidetracked in
the first and third periods, but
once the throttle was opened,
there was no stopping it.
The Rams banged over two
touchdowns in the second period
and added another in the fourth
to wind up their nine-game sched
ule, undefeated and tied only by
the great Pittsburgh Panthers. '"
Paced by a classy collection of
backs, particularly, jarring Joe
Granski, who galloped 60 yards
for the second touchdown, after
Dom Principe pounded over to
climax a forward and lateral-passing
50-yard drive in the second
period, . Fordham took sweet re
venge for the 7-6 beating the Vio
lets gave the Rama a year ago.
The vaunted Fordham line gave
one of the neatest defensive and
offensive performances of its sea
son. Tackle Ed Franco was all
over the Violet backs, and Center
Alex Wojciechowicz was so out
standing he was voted the annual
Madow trophy as the top player
in the game.
Ed Bael passed four times for
NYU's score in the second.

The crowd of 40,000 was

back, suddenly broke loose from
Notre Dame's 17 and raced 70
yards b e f o r e he was brought

Two plays later he smashed
eight yards over the line for the
touchdown that gave Notre Dame
a glorious j finish to its 1937.

It was a fitting climax for the
50th anniversary of Notre Dame

a brilliant comeback after having
been pushed around the field for
two periods, outplayed by the
Trojans. -
Southern California held a 6
to 0 lead at the half as the re
sult of a touchdown pass tossed
by Grenville Landsdell to Gene
Hibbs in the second period. But
when the Irish broke loose in the
second half, they were ' entirely

with the smart, military heel click
and stlff-waisted bow for every
remonstrance of the ring's third
man is billed against the re
cipient of most of those polite
bows, Harry Elliott, in . Tuesday
night's mat thriller at the armory.
Elliott, the "rasslin' ref ," has
become exceedingly perturbed, ac
cording to Promoter Owen, at be
ing unable to get the Baron to
desist from his unorthodox ring
manners while refereeing matches
in which the Baron has partici
pated, so Is bent on giving the
German some "Yankee" instruc
tions In ring etiquette.
Harry Is Backed
Von Hoffman has succeeded in
gaining the unanimous hate of
Salem mat fans, one of whom ac
tually took a whole-hearted swing
at the militaristic one as he left
the ring last week, and although
the crowd will undoubtedly be
with" Elliott, the belief is ram
pant that the debonair referee
won t be able to withstand the un
orthodox tactics employed by the
Baron.
Elliott has been known to go
berserk himself when adequately
aroused, however, and may soon
get enough of the Baron's eye-
whlskering, hair-pulling, Adam's
apple-hacking tricks. If so, mat
fans look for the Baron to be
gathered up in little pieces espe
cially bis beloved set of chin whis
kers. Two supporting matches, each
reported to be of headline cali
bre, will be announced by Pro
moter Owen Tuesday.
