.DITTsBURGH, Pa. November :
-Notre Danes national foo
ball championship aspirations
Il were shattered here today
when the South Bend war
riors went down to an Overwhelming
defeat by the rugged Carnegie Tech
eleven, 10 to 0.
A crowd of $4,000, q record attend
ance for any sport event at FOrbe:
Field. home of the Pittsburgh National
Yeague base ball club. went int"
ecstacies as the final whistle blew
and tore down the goal posts. Efforts
of the police to control the surginS
fans were fruitlesS.
The second edition of Rockne's ia
nous -four hOrSemen" of 1924 was
completely outclassed in every depart
ment of play by the Skibos. Notre
Dame conquered eight previous op-
pOnentS this season, including Army.
while Carnegie tasted defeat at the
hands of New York University and
Washington and jefferson.
Flanagan Is Stopped.
Christy Flanagan, flashy Notrc
Dame halfback. who rose to Erea'
heights with long run to beat the
Army was stopped by Carnegie every
time he carried the ball or attempted
to turn the tide with forward passes.
Hearden, his mate, bore the hrunt of
what little opposition was offered bv
the Rocknemen.
Only once did the Rockne clan
threaten the Carnegie goal. That was
in the fourth period when tho visitors
worked the ball to the Skibos' one half
ward line with the aid of "a forward
pass. Carnegie's defense braced and
held Notre Dame for downs.
Little Bill DOnOhoe. fleet halfback
of the Skibos. CirCled NOtre Danes
terminals, and battered the line al
most at will. Sharing hunors with
him was Ietzelter, Mefort and
Harpster. The latter dropkicked tw"
beautiful field goals in the third
period.
Statistics Of tho battle showed that
Carnegie outplayed the Rocknemen
in all departments. Carnegie regis
tered l. first downs against s for
NOtre Dame. Four Carnegie for
wards were completed out Of -
tries, netting "a yards. Notre Dame
succeeded four times in the air ou-
Of Is attempts, for SO yards.
The first period resolved itself into
a punting duel after Carnegie blocked
a punt and downed the ball on Notre
Danes 30-yard stripe. Forward
passing by both teams met with little
success.
Notre Danes first.string men
Flanagan. O'Boyle. Hearden eft al
were sent in at the start OF the soc
ond period.
Get Two Quick Scores.
The line was unable to stem the
rushes of the Skibos' baCkfield, and
the ball was soon in Notre Dame ter
ritOry. After pass, Harpster To
Donohoe, had netted Is yards, the lat
ter ran wide around left end for a
touchdown. Letzelter failed TO kick
goal.
Benefited by a break when Mefort
blocked a punt and recovered the ball
on Notre Danes is, Letzelter Carried
the ball over for another touchdown.
He added the extra point.
The third period had just begun
when Yoder intercepted a Notre Dame
pass on the latter's 33.yard line. On
the next play, Harpster drop-kicked
field goal from the 3S-yard line
Carnegie kicked to Notre Dame. which
lost the ball on a tumble on it's own
30-yard line. Harpster stepped back
yards and drop-kicked another field
goal.
Battling with their backs against
the wall. the Rocknemen worked the
ball to the Carnegie one half yard
line in the final period, only TO be re
pulsed.
