The field was wet, the fans were wet—this time by a game-long snowstorm instead of rain—and the opposition was bigger. This was nothing new for the Lion gridders or their fans. Pitt wielded a big stick—its biggest in three years, and finally took the game even though it was favored. In the last three games of the rivalry this was impossible for the, Panthers although they enjoyed' the favorites role each time. Pitt, in slapping the first shut out on the Lions since Wisconsin did it in the 1953 opener, 26 games ago, did it decisively. With quarterback Pete Neft, a relative newcomer, calling as per fect a game as the weather would permit him to, Pitt used its back field power that gave the Lions a sound thrashing on the ground. With Lou Cimarolli, Neft, and Dick Bowen carrying the brunt of the ground attack, Neft didn't rely on his passing game. When he did pass, however, he hit on four of four.
