Evening star., 1932-11-27

a tired, war-Worn animal,
clawed it's way through the
Cardinals of Stanford today,
climbed to the final height of an
unde:eated season, and from there
roared one last challenge to the
far West for renewal of the battle,
if it cares to, in the Rose Bowl
on New Year day. Its conquest
of Stanford was by the margin of
a touchdown and extra point-7-0.
Plainly showing the effects of the
hardest schedule any eleven in the East
tackled this season, the Panther was
content to whip Pop Warmers invading
forces and lay its record beside that OF
the East'S other mighty undefeated
outfit, Andy Kerr'S Red Raiders OF Col
gate.
To one or the other is certain to go
the annual invitation of the West TO
meet its best-this year Southern Cali
fornia-in the Battle of Roses, and
both Colgate and Pittsburgh are in
receptive mood.
But despite the advantage that might
have accrued from meeting the flnal
burst of Colgate in downing Brown, Il
to 0, Thanksgiving day, with an equally
impressive conquest over Stanford to-
day Pittsburgh was content to score
and win thereafter with as little energy
as possible.
THE first quarter was only half
i dozen plays old, mostly punts, with
the conventional plunge or two
separating each kick, when the Pan
thers made the first break, took II IN
their teeth, and shook from it victory
that left Pitt with a record of con-
quest over Army Notre Dame, Penn
sylvania and Carnegie Tech, among
others, with only Scoreless ties with
Ohio State and Nebraska marring one
of the greatest records any Pittsburgh
team has compiled.
Bob Hogan, a 2l0-pound quarterback,
who kicks with fiendiSh skill, both ae-
curately and for tremendous distances,
banged a punt from Is yards back OF
his scrimmage line on the 37-yard line,
all the way to inches from the Stanford
goal, where Ted Daley, brisk little
end downed the ball.
Stanley Anderson, Stanford fulloacK,
Immediately punted back, but he got
the ball out only to his 30-yard line.
From that point Pitt launched It's one
scoring drive. --..-.
In two plays Mike Sebastian, right
halfback. and Izzy Weinstock, crunch
ing 2OG-pound fullback. ripped through
to the Cardinal 11-yard line. Warren
Heller tossed short pass to Daley Tor
a first down on the 3-yard line. Two
plays later he catapulted through tackle
for the score and WeinStock place
kicked the goal.
A s far as the decision was concerned
n the game might well have ended
there, allowing the $4,000 addlcts
who braved freezing weather and the
threat of pneumonia to return to thelr
firesides and the comforts of home.
With but one exception, nothing Pop
Warmers men could do had any effect
upon the team Jock Sutherland hao
coached in the identical system OF the
Pacific Coast master.
Through the entire game Stanford,
with Anderson bearing the brunt OF the
attack, gained only A yards from
scrimmage and completed only three
passes of the I3 tried. AS matter OF
fact, counting the 80 yards lost from
scrimmage. Stanford finished the day
with a net gain of only II yards rush.
ing and so yards passing.
Once, in the fourth quarter, the Car
dinals burst forth with a single offensive
that piled up their lone three hrSt
downs.
In quick succession, Bill Sim, left
halfback, running from kick fornla-
tion. drifted through tackle for II yards
from his own 20. Anderson tossed a
l3-yard pass to Gordon Campbell, and
Ernie Cadell took pass that was
almost a lateral from Campbell, his
quarterback, and ran for StanfordS S
longest gain, 80 yards to Pitts 70
yard line.
nITTSBURGH, with Weinstock doing
L most Of the gaining, aided by
Sebastian and Heller, piled up II
first downs, carried the ball once INSIDE
Stanfo-d'S 2o-yard line in each period,
and rolled up 211 yards from scrlm-
mage. But tie Panthers got inside the
lO-yard line only once, in the scoring
charge of the first period. Only one ot
Heller's nine passes was completed 1or
a 10-yard gain.
From the moment Pittsburgh gained
the first bulge in the opening quarter
the duel was fought in the line. Whne
Pitt was content to move along behlnd
the slim lead, only remarkable de-
fensive play in the Stanford line kept
Heller, always a threat, and Sebastian
from breaking loose time and again.
Particularly Bill Corbus, right guard
and the best lineman on the field. stood
out in the duel of forward walls, rip
ping apart the Panther interference,
chasing backs to the sideltne, smearlng
them when they turned in.
Don Colvin, on one end, and Bill
Doub, on the other, broke up Puts

Against this Cardinal forward wall,
none of the Pitt backs could get away
for any great distance, though Vein
stock broke through center couple OF
times for 20 yards. He was In the
clear once in the final quarter, breaking
aWay from his 35-yard line, but he was
called back because Corbus had stopped
him momentarily as he hammered
the line.
IN similar fashion did Joe Skladany,
L a big, wor&manlikc end, hold the
Panther fort along with Ted Daley
on the other wing, Paul Cuba and Frank
Walton, pair of 220-pound tackles,
and the burly center trio Of Charles
Hartwig, Joe Tormey and Turry Order.
Puncturing either of these lines was a
thankless task for any ball carrier.
