Temple Thriller Climaxes Eighth Unbeaten Soccer Season
204 PITT
Lions Rally To
Down Owls, 3-1
By BILL - McKNIGHT
The indomitable . Penn State
booters staged one of the most
spectacular exhibitions of soccer
'skill and field supremacy that has
ever been witnessed as they came
from the short end of a 2-0 score
to down • the heretofore undefeat
ed and untied Temple eleven, 312,
on New Beaver Field Saturday, a
'-sensational climax to their eighth
straight undefeated season.
Almost a thousand spectators
watched The Owls register two
tallies while the supposedly un-:
contfuerable Lions overshot passes,
overran the ball and couldn't seem
to check the victory-bound oppon
ents.
Handicapped •by the absence of
injured Goalie Zen Laskaris, the
booters were unable to stop the
Owl scoring attempt in the first
quarter when Billy Bathgate pass
ed-to Fogel who tallied.
Again in the opening minutes of
the next period Temple booted into
'scoring territory and Neprash
passed to Fogel who chalked up
another goal to make the score
2-0 before the end of the first half,
something the stunned fans hadn't
believed possible.
Then the scene changed and the
curtain _lifted on an entirely diff-:
erent. Penn State squad,- the team

Van Hartman enabled Bobby Ernst
to make the first tally for the
Lions.
The crowd went wild a's the Nit-

Downfall Wrecks
Bowl Prospects
By PAT NAGELBERG
A mighty Pitt Panther, arising
out of its expected mediocrity,
clawed and smashed its way to a
decisive 20 to 7 victory over the
best Penn State eleven in 20
years in the Pitt Stadium Satur
day before 32,000 thrilled fans.
With the startling defeat, tumb-
Iled all hopes for the first unde
feated Lion team since 1921 and a
bid to one of the post season's
bowl games.
Displaying a powerful and ver
satile attack reminiscent of Coach
Jock Sutherland's regime, Pitt's
play climbed to its greatest height
of the year in the 40th annual
game between the two traditional
rivals. Coach Charlie Bowser's
charges took the lead on a perfect
ly executed 50-yard fake reverse
run and lateral toward the end
of the first quarter, passed its way
to another touchdown in the third
period, and then staved off a State
uprising in the closing minutes of
the battle with a pass interception
for the final six-pointer.
The Nittanymen, whose offense
failed to click, were really in the
game only once after the first
Pittsburgh tally. That was at the
outset of the fourth period when
a pass by big Bill Smaltz to the
reliable Len Krouse from the Pan
ther 15 connected for the lone
State touchdown of the afternoon.
Ben Pollock's extra point place
ment cut down the Panthers' lead
to 13-7, and put the Lions back in
the ball game with a fighting
chance for a victory.
Two great Pitt backs, speedy
Ed (Special Delivery) Jones and
smashing. George Kracum sparked
the Pitt Panthers. After the two
teams see-sawed back and forth
for the first quarter, Kracum fak
ed a reverse to Thurbon on the
next to the last play of the period,
broke inside the right tackle off
the weak side at midfield and was
out in the open with interference
forming rapidly. The big full

Athens—Communiques from the

Greek advances all along the battle
line yesterday as the Grecian
forces drove on to the town of
Pogradeti and are in a stragetic
position to take the town. It was
reported that the Greeks have ad
vanced 25 miles into Albania in the
central zone of atack and 20 miles
toward Argirocastro. Greek bomb
ers were almost entirely driven
away from Pogradetz as the Ital
ians brought a heavy anti-aircraft
unit- into play. It was expected
that the 'Fascist forces would begin
a mass air raid on the Greeks very .
soon.
