P;6IGE EIGHT 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: able to top the Lions only one! 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. Lion Coach Rip Faid - We , houghs we had the better team today."
