The Pittsburgh eleven has not de-

but 1t turned the tick on it's own
grounds. Captain Harpster played a
big part in the 1926 defeat of the
R~ockneless Notre Dame team and is
the ace of the invaders. Coach Roekne
was looking at another football game
when his team lost its last clash
with Carnegie.
There is a distinct intersectional
flavor to the card. In addition to
