victories this season and heavily
favored to hand Indiana its nth
loss of the year, couldn't match

Nick Sebek and Rockies Jerry
Van Ooyen. Jim Gomory and
Bobby Robertson. ,
Sebek passed magniflcently and
the three sophomores were almost
unstoppable as Coach Clyde
Smiths team battered for seven
touchdowns.

than 10000 saw the Hoosier line
rise when needed to hold Pitts
burgh to single touchdowns in the
second and third quarters. '

downs were made by Robertson,

almost yard for yard in the sta
tistics. But the Panthers were
clawless when it came to organ
lied scoring punch. : :

yards after Indiana's second
touchdown in the second period,
with Quarterback Carl de Pasque
diving over from the six-inch line.

threw at a TIT clip through the
afternoon, to Robertson had

minutes later as Gomory skirted
