Alumni Day battle with Syracuse.
Captain Hanson ami his mates, an
gered by then defeat at the hands of
Army, outplayed the Lions in every
depaitment of the game.
“Big Bertha’’ Bnrbuti, Orange full

and Alchoska were primarily respon
sible foi the Onandagan victory.)

doomed to disappointment if victory

warriors completely demonstrated
their superiority, although breaks
; played a minor role in the battle.
With the “Thundering Held” safely
disposed of, Coach Bczdek turned his
attention to the game of the jear,
the Thanksgiving Day classic with
Pitt. Goaded to desperation by years
of unsuccess, the Nittany Lions held
the Panthers to a 7-6 score until the
final quarter, when Welch laced thru
the demoralized cle\cn Pitt held the
final edge, 21-G.
Adverse decisions and Welch’s gieat
play frustrated the last offensive of
the 1926 season. Welch vied with
Roopkc for indiwdual piomincncc, al
though Pincura and Filak were also
outstanding. Captain Weston, Filak,
Gicene, Pritchard, Bergman, Reed and
Rosebcrry played their last game foi
