- little band Of black-jerseyed
warriors from Duquesne Uni
l. versity upset the mighty
Pittsburgh Panthers, to 0, today
with one sudden scoring thrust by a
substitute halfback, who streaked 70
yards for a touchdown in the second
period.
Only 10000 fans braved q cold rain
to see the two undefeated, united
and unscored upon city rivals battle
where $4,000 had crowded the big
bowl for their last meeting two years
ago.
But the huddled spectators leaped
from under their umbrellas and
blankets when George Matsik, ITO
pound junior from Ambridge. Pa.
circled right end on a run destined
to startle the foot ball world.
Duquesnes fans, bit fearful that
the extra point might be missed and
the game lost by one point. saved
their loudest cheering until Boyd
Brumbaugh booted a placement kick
between the uprights.
Victors Are Outgained.
THE valiant Dukes, representing a
school Of about 800 students on
the citys bluffs, set out to get their
first victory in three tests against
the Panthers-and did.
Pitt ran up IL first downs to 3 and
outgained the Dukes. $50 yards to l34,
but the Dukes played cautiously and
STAYED of every threat, once on their
3-yard line.
The Panthers we're in a situation
strange to them and played desper-
ately. Coach Jock Sutherland used
IA substitutes. three of them quar-
terbacks. Although last week Pitt
defeated Ohio State. 6 to o. without
using single forward pass, today
the Panthers threw IS. Four were
completed and three were intercepted.
Duquesne's line outpiayed the
vaunted forwards Of Pitt throughout
the game and Coach John Gittle
Clipper Smith used only three sub
stitute linemen.
Revenge for Dukes.
THE Pittsburgh eleven, having
beaten Duquesne 80 to o in 1888
and 7 to o in 1884, hoped to take the
contest today in stride, setting the
stage for next weeks game with
Notre Dame here.
The Panthers started march down
the field early in the first quarter,
Stapulis and Goldberg combining Is
and 14-yard runs to place the ball
on Duquesne's 14-yard line and there
seemed nothing to cause Pitt follow
ers worry when the Dukes held for
downs.
Then Brumbaugh returned punt
20 yards and added IL more yards
through the line. The Dukes pushed
on to the 13. where Karrs fumbled
and Pitt recovered.
A series of punts in the second
quarter forced Duquesne back to its
own %, from which point Matsik
set out on his 72-yard dash three
plays after he had entered the game.
Fumble Hurts Pitt.
pITT was surprised but undaunted.
Daniel of the Panthers recovered
fumbled punt on Duquesne's 28. and
Malarkey passed to Stebbins on the 6.
1t seemed that Pitt was about to sup
press this neighborhood uprising
when Malarkey fumbled and Duquesne
recovered on its own 3.
The Panthers tried hard and often
in the last half to overtake the Dukes,
but the complexion of the contest had
changed. Once in the third period
Pitt reached Duquesnes 80, where an
intercepted pass ended their chance.
Again in the final quarter Pitts
burgh made mighty drive from its
own 20 to Duquesne's IS. runs of Is
and Is yards by Patrick and Gold
berg being included. But another in
tercepted pass halted this advance.
The field was muddy and nine FUN
bles resulted.
