desperate defensive battle, threat
ened for three quarters today to
sabotage the Navy's 1910 grid
launching, but were unprepared for
the lightning air attack that
the Midshipmen cut loose in the
closing period to turn apparent de-
feat into a l9-to-7 victory.
The stellar play Of the two great
backs, Johnny Korczowski and WAL
do Matthews, combined in a thrill
packed second period to give the
Indians a slender rs lead that they
held onto savagely through the third
quarter.
But, they hadn't counted on the
Middies' torpedo boat-sized gunners
led by Howie Clark, a game little
148-pound back from San Pedro
Calf.
Clark trained his sights on a feet
end named Willis Maxson, and one
aerial torpedo after another hit the
bully's-eye to pave the way for two
touchdowns so fast the crowd of 49,
900 sat electrified.
Indians Shock Navy.
1t was a perfect day for football
but neither team warmed to its
task in a drab first period punctu-
ated only by two sensational dashes
by Bill Busik, heralded sophomore
star of the Middies. Wes Gebert, a
hero of 1889 battles, returned punt

ing a drive that ended when he
swept left end for touchdown from
the 8. The placement after was

1t stood that way to the fourth

1t was the first opening day de-
feat the Pennsylvanians had suf-
fered since 1902, and the win ex-
tended an inaugural streak launched
by the Bucks in 1896
Don Scott, Ohio's highly adver-
tised quarterback, remained in the
background except for few flashes.
while Tackle Corley Mag and Capt.
James Langhurst, fullback, stole the
show
George Kracum, line crushing

launched the scoring with a field
goal from the 15-yard line In the
second period, cashing in the only
scoring chance either team had in
the first two sessions.
Buckeyes Go Wild.
The third period was only a min.
ute old when Mag broke through
to block Halfback Edgar Especial
Delivery Jones punt on the Pitt
16. The big tackle tip-toed his way
to the 4 before going out Of bounds.
Then Langhurst plunged for the
touchdown on the first play and
Scott kicked the extra point.
Kracum's big gesture came after
Maag's kickoff. Starting on his own
35, the big fullback lugged the
leather of IL times for four
first downs and a 64-yard gain,
putting the ball on the l. From
there Halfback Robert Thurbon went
over and Quarterback Mike Sekela
booted kick from placement for
Pitts point.
Ohio roared right back with three
plays for its second touchdown
and one of them was a 5-yard loss
as they drove IS yards to score.
Scott hauled the ball from the Is

a lateral to Dick Fisher for 80
more. Langhurst lost 5, but Scott
fired long aerial which Langhurst
gathered in near the goal line TO

Scott placekicked the extra point
to put the Bucks out front, II to 7.
Two minutes later Charley Ander-

snatched an enemy pass in midfield
and carried it back to the IS. Fisher,
subbing for the injured Jimmy
Strausbaugh, hurtled to the 18 in a
single jaunt. Then Scott passed to
Anderson for the third score Of the
period.
Jack Graf placekicked the extra
point and Coach Francis Schmidt
put his second and third stringers
on the field 1t made no difference
to the tired Pittsburghs.
Starting on his own 46. Graf hit
tackle and fumbled. Jimmy Sex

West opened a club and East and
West were allowed to win the first
two tricks in clubs. South won the
third round. observing that West
had originally held six clubs. De-
clarer played the jack Of diamonds,
which was allowed to held, then fol-
lowed with the ten, on which West
discarded (of all things a club East
won the second diamond, then made
the natural shift to spade.
Now South's original idea had
been to jump right in with the spade
ace and then finesse against West
for the queen of hearts. BY so doing
he would have his nine tricks If the
heart finesse were successful. But
Vests club discard had altered mat
ters. Declarer now felt that the
spade king was marked In East's
hand, Thus, if the spade flnesse
were successful, he could afford to
lose a heart trick to East (provided
East held the queen) and still make
his contract.
Proceeding on this fairly sound
reasoning, South finessed the queen
of spades, West pounced on it with
the king, then ran OF his two re-
manning clubs to set the contract.
Vests deceptive discard, which os-
tensibly showed no re-entry, had
