ATHLETICS PITT 46—ALLEGHENY COLLEGE 0. Allegheny’s sensational aerial attack of a year ago was missing, and Pitt had no trouble in trouncing the Methodists on a very muddy field. The regular team, with the exception of McLaren, who was injured, was started. McClelland was at fullback and Gougler soon replaced Hastings, who was suffering from a weak ankle. It was pre-eminently the reserves’ day. Gougler and Friedlandcr starring on the offense. Coach Warner was at Ithaca watching Cornell play Tech. PITT 37 WASHINGTON JEFFERSON COLLEGE 0. Showing an attack that was even more powerful than that uncovered in the Penn game, the Pitt Panthers ripped and tore their way to a brilliant victory over their time-honored rivals from Little Washington. The drubbing handed out to the Red and Black pleased Pitt adherents immensely because it was the worst ever experienced by W. J. It can be said that in defeat they were not disgraced, for the old fighting spirit and clean play was ever present. DeHart with his long runs and McLaren with his short line bucks gave the big crowd many a thrill. Gougler, who was playing in Hastings’ place, and Herron, at end. also shone resplendent. PITT 14—CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 6. Pitt was not up to form, while our neighbors from Schcnley Park were in fine fettle, so consequently the Panther was held to the lowest score of the season. The failure of the Blue and Gold backficld to get going was a big surprise to the fans who expected a larger score. This was partly due to the Plaids’ stubborn defense and also to a slight condition of staleness resultant from the previous hard games without a let-up. Tech had a wonderful team, though, and it looked as good as any that had been met. The play was slow and long drawn out on account of the over alertness of the officials. PITT 31—PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE 0. The smashing, irresistible and smooth working offense that had made Pitt famous was again in evidence against State. The Center County lads couldn’t cope with the fierce attack, and they went down to the worst defeat suffered from Pitt in history. “Andy” Hastings, making his re-appearanee in the lineup, was the sensation of the day. He booted two field goals and scored a touchdown. Capt. Peck brought his career to an end in a blaze of glory. He was here, there and everywhere. DeHart. McLaren. Herron and Carlson also were very much in the limelight. At the same time as the Panther was drubbing State. Brown was being eliminated by Colgate. Pitt then had a clear claim to the Intercollegiate football title. Verily, ’twas a day of thanks, long to be remembered by Pittites Twenty-three
