Pitt's record against the Presidents was 1-8.  Over twelve thousand fans packed the bleachers to cheer on their team.  Both teams had bands which marched with students and fans through town into the stadium prior to kick off.  The Pitt team was at full strength for this encounter.  Pitt's Ralph Galvin kicked off to W & J halfback Bill Marshall and he returned the ball to the Presidents twenty yard line.  On the first scrimmage play W & J quarterback Forsythe fumbled the hand off to Marshall and Frank Van Doren recovered for Pitt on the sixteen yard line.  Two quarterback runs advanced the ball to the five and finally fullback “Tex” Richards bulled his way into the end zone for the first Pitt touchdown.  Ralph Galvin kicked the point after and Pitt led 6-0 after two minutes of play.  Later in the half, Pitt had the ball on the Presidents thirty-one yard line.  On first down quarterback Bill Robinson completed a forward pass to Homer Roe for a gain of twenty-seven yards to the four.  On second and goal Richards again plunged into the end zone for the score.  Galvin was successful on the point after and Pitt led 12-0 at the break.
