PITTSBURGH, Nov. 16-The Pitt
jinx which the Nebraska Corn
huskers buried year ago nearly
heaved its way through the cold sod
of the stadium here today, but
couldn't quite make it and the
Huskers left the snow-framed grid
iron with a 9-to-7 decision.
Twenty-Five thousand fans forgot
the bitter cold in the last half
minute as John Stahl, Panther end,
dropped back to the Nebraska 13-
yard line after a great Pitt drive
had wilted on the 5. and tried a
place kick which would have given
the unpredictable Panthers a 1919
victory. He missed.
Pitt played the highly favored Ne
braskans to a standstill through
most of the game. The Panthers
came from behind to take 1-point
lead, stymied all further attempts
of the Huskers to cross the goal and
all but came from behind again to
take lead which would have meant
the ball game.
The Huskers went to the front on
the first play of the second period,
when Harry Hopp rammed over
from the l to climax a 65-yard
march. Francis place kick was low
Later in the same period the jinx

Boston College has a great club

ORourke who won the ball game.
He's terrific"
The Boston College dressing
room was on the hysterical side
and outside, thousands of fans
awaited the exit of O'Rourke and
Co. The 159-pound ORourke,
who had been carried from the
field on the shoulders of his

keyed for the fray mentally and

the field. You all know the i'm
portance Of this game. We must
have blocking and tackling-
blocking and tackling like we've
never had before. l want three
tacklers cutting down that ball
carrier every time. Let's go now"
With a mighty roar, the blue
ierseyed Hoyas formed a human
funnel to wedge through the bot
tie neck at the dressing room
door, poured through the cata-
combs of Fenway Park and
emerged on the field to view some
$4,000 spectators jamming every
portion of the park.
The terrific tension among the
crowd never was allowed to ease,
even when Georgetown had
grasped a 1910 lead in the first
five minutes of the engagement.
Two minutes later Boston College
had reduced that margin to 1915
and at the half the Eagles

1t used to be that the advent
of new bowling establishment was
hailed with happy excitement by
duckpin addicts No more. The
new-toy thrill has worn into a
steady glow. Shiny, new maple
plants stud the city. More are on
the way. 1t is conceivable that
eventually no community will be
without one.
With miSgivings the veteran bowl
Ing operators last summer watched

prepared to spread thin the gravy.
They turned out to be astonishingly
poor prophets.
Barely was the season under way
when every new plant was running
full tilt. Moreover, the old ones,
on the whole, showed a business in
crease over the prior year for the
same period.
AS midseaSon draws on, the duck
pin game literally is rolling in pros

Seven More Plants Now.
Just how amazing has been its
growth was revealed recently when
plans were laid for the annual
Evening Star Yultide tournament.
Today there are seven more bowl

comparison with the current semi
hysteria they were pufflike.
All of them sizable, the new
plants are the King Pin, Arlington,
Clarendon, Penn, Hyattsville, La
fayette and Del Ray Recreation
Centers. They are among the finest
appointed bowling establishments in
the country. Washington, Incl
dentally, is noted throughout the
land for the class of its bowling
equipment and the high plane of its
competition.
Largest Tourney in Bowling.
The Star tournament gives it an
other distinction. 1t makes WASH
ington the home of the biggest tour
nament in the sport. If more than
10000 competed in the Yuletide
event last year, how many will there
be this time? That won't be known
until the week of December 9, when
the qualification test is held.
Throughout the week any man or
woman who shoots league set auto
matically will become a participant
in the tournament. The league set,
plus handicap if the mans average
is less than 1913 and the woman s
under 1l8, will constitute the quail
f1cation round, with 25 per cent of
the participants at each plant mov-
ing into rolloff, where a peck of
spinach will be dispensed. First
prize for each sex will be 500 and
gold medal. and the other awards,
all substantial, will make long list.

Georgetown gained the un-

newspapermen, including Grant

talked of launching a campaign
to land Georgetown in the
Orange Bowl game at Miami.
Boston College, it was conceded,
would receive a bid to the Sugar

Veteran sports writers from
New York rated Georgetown as
strong a team as they had seen
in any sector this season. with
many ranging the Hoyas over

the current campaign as Roy Nc
Bride stole the puck and slipped an

the net.
Blond Gordon Pranschke scored
the most spectacular goal of the
game with 2 minutes and seconds
remaining, sending the puck into the
net from an angle while falling.
That goal, scored while the Olym-

in the penalty box, gave the Eagles
a lead for the first time at 4-3.
Boston Strategy MisfireS.
Washington capitalized on an er-
