Lions
Crush Pitt
Bowl Hopes
In 7-7 Tie
By FRAN FANUCCI
Attempting to beat the
Lion football team is becom
ing an insurmountable task
for the Pittsburgh Panthers.
The favorites the last five
years, the Panthers have been:

time—last year 20-0.
Saturday the Lions, a seven-j
point underdog, battled the Jung.lei
Cats to a 7-7 tie and virtually:
beat them at their own game. Pitt
regarded as a strong second half
team was held scoreless in the last!
halt for the first time this year.
In fact, it was fighting to keep
the tie while the upset-minded
Lions were going all out for the
'upset. The Lions displayed a
strong bench, which could be
the factor why Pitt was unable
to score more than one touch
down.
