HITTSBURGH, November 49,
The fighting Cornhuskers
l. from the Nebraska plains
stood of a relentless pound
ing attack from Pittsburgh's foot
ball powerhouse for three periods
today, but weakened against a
fresh Panther backAeld. in the
final quarter, yielded a single
touchdown and tumbled from the
narrowing list of the undefeated
and tutied.
The score was so.
Seven times the thin Red line, which
had held at bay the best of the Big
Six, stopped the Pittsburgh attack
within the 2o-yard line, twice on the q
yard marker. but 1t was not equal to
the task of hating an air raid and it
was through that medium Pittsburgh
struck for its score.
The Pitt reserves were not long about
it when they were sent into the game
opening the fourth quarter. George
Sauer, Nebraska's big fullback, punted
out to his own 45-yard line from his IL.
Leon Shedlosky made S yards on two
tries at the line. Heinie weisenbaugh,
one Of the fastest Panther backs, then
broke through the left side Of his line
and ran 80 yards before he was dovned
on Nebraska's 10-yard marker.
He and Shedlosky picked up yards
ON three plays and the latter then
drifted back and tossed a 20-yard pass
to little Mike Nicksick far over In the
corner and behind the goal line. Bernie
Masterson, Husker quarterback, leaped
high In the air in an effort to stop the
ball, but 1t fioated safely down into
Nicksick's arms for a touchdown.

As it turned out, the point was not
needed. the Panthers threatening the
Husker goal through all the rest Of the
period and stopping the Big Red pass
ing attack the only time 1t carried past
midneld.
1t was the seventh meeting Of the two
teams since their first game In 1921 and
the fourth victory for Pitt against one
for Nebraska. Three games were score
less ties including last years great bat
tie at Lincoln.
The statistics of the game, even bet

superiority of the Panthers who rolled
up the amazing net total Of 276 yards
through the line in IS attempts, an
average Of over yards ON each plunge

invaders.
