Pitt, UN Game By Norrii Anderson. MEMORIAL STADIUM, Nov. 15. For 55 minutes here yester day the underdog Nebraska Corn huskers, functioning like the Scar let and Cream of Rose Bowl fame, had a victory over Pittsburgh within easy grasp. While a happy partisan crowd of 85,000 started filing from the stands with their favorites . ahead, 7-0, Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones, as sweet an all-round back as has trod Memorial turf in a decade, loosed disaster from aground and transformed the Husker victory celebration into a wsikc Call Him C. 0. D. Legs pounding liks pistons, Jones drove down the field late In the fourth period, brushing thru the Husker forwards for eight or nine yards per crack. Halfback Dutton, Jones' ally in the late Pitt drive, climaxed the 63 yard ad vance by stabbing over right guard for the opening marker. Pitt's gallant guard, "Butch" Fife, limped out from the bench to make the placement that tied the count, 7 to 7. Four minutes and 45 seconds of do-or-die football and the stage was set for "Special Delivery" to deliver. Then came the delivery an intercepted pass, hurriedly brought 75 yards up the west side lines by Messenger Jones. Bedlam that broke from the Pitt bench at this stage had yet to reach its height. For five sec onds later Jones again grabbed a Husker pass and scampered 60 yards to the Husker five before a desperate Matheny tackle ended the runback and game. Bradley, Rubber Man. Altho Jones captured the head line focus as the game s star, sta tistics prove that several perform ers had better "all-game" records. Nebraska's Dale Bradley, a literal India rubber man, carried the pigskin 18 times for 112 yards and a 6.1 per carry average.

Roy Long, promising Husker halfback, lugged the pigskin ten times for 55 yards. Wayne Sindt, Naponee sopho more, made his first real chance as a Husker back impressive by com piling the highest average of the day seven yards per try in seven efforts. Husker Band Colorful.

Huskers Lose to Pitt 14-7 (Continued from Page 1.) ter held and took the ball on downs. Thus, until the fourth quarter was a little more than half over, Pitt was on the spot. At this point in the srtuggle, the score stood, Nebraska 7, Pittsburgh 0. Then Things Began to Happen. Forced to punt on the fourth down, Roy Long, a sophomore who turned in a whale" of a game, de posited the ball on the Pitt 38, where it was downed. This is when Jones really stepped in to show his stuff, for, in two plays after an incomplete pass, he had moved the ball to the Nebraska 48 yard stripe. From here he took the ball on a weak side reverse for nine and then for eight more yards on the next play. Two first downs he had chalked up by himself. He was showing drive the equal of which hafe not been seen on the Husker field for quite some time. Pitt Recovers Fumble. On the next play, with the ball on the 31, he started out behind perfect blocking around his own left side. By sheer power he cat apulted himself up to the Husker seven, where he fumbled. The Panther drive appeared to have ended as a wave of players cov ered the loose ball. But it had not come to the end so earnestly hoped for by UN's screaming fans as Steve Sinclair, Panther senior center, emerged triumphant with the ball tucked in his bosom. The rest of the distance was not covered so easily. Frank Sak sa got one yard of the seven, Jones got two and then three to put the ball on the doorstep. Little Bill Dutton stepped across for the ty ing touchdown and Ralph Fife was hurried in to kick the extra point and the game was tied. Huskers Receive. The Huskers chose to receive with two minutes remaining and Pitt kicked. After an exchange of downs Nebraska came up with the ball and a first down on the Nebraska 48. Dale Bradley, easily Jones' equal with the same blocking, drove for nine and then he faded back to pass. He let loose and the ball sailed deep down to the Pitt 25. Eager Nebraska hands reached up for it but it was Edgar's hands that got there first. Showing a great change of pace in his running, from slow to fast to faster, "Special Delivery" rode roughshod down the sideline. His progress was marred by not one Husker as he sailed into the end zone standing up for a 75 yard run and the winning touchdown. Again Ralph Fife hobbled in to do up the game in brown by adding the extra point that added insult to injury. UN Hits Airlanes. Apparently willing to hit the airlanes again in a vain attempt, Coach Biff Jones sent in Howard Debus, distance passing ace, with only five seconds remaining in the classic. Debus filtered back and let loose and again the same eager hands were waiting, but Jones again stepped in and then stepped down the opposite sidelines. If the patrons had been stunned when Jones made his other run, they were bug-eyed at this dis play, for the Pitt demon appeared to have another touchdown in his grasp when Fred Metheny came up from behind and knocked him out of bounds on the Husker four yard line. Fans Gasping. The final gun sounded and the game was over. It had been gruel ling thruout, but the events that occurred in the last 15 seconds left everyone gasping. "Special Delivery" was lifted to the shoulders of his admiring teammates. Someone tossed the game ball into his hands, a grin crossed his face. Charley Bowser, Pitt's coach, came up to him and held out his hand; finally Eddie could contain himself no longer and he hopped down and ran for the dressing room. His broad back penetrating the maze of crowd that thronged the door, was the last glimpse that ad miring fans got of him. It will be the last time the Huskers will see him and many were crying "Thank goodness." Fife, Dillon, Star. He was a great back and he made his own breaks. He deserved all the credit heaped upon him. In the line, Ralph Fife, until forced out by injury, was doing a big job as was Bill Dillon, at the other guard. Not completely overshadowed in the backfield by Jones and de serving of credit in the win was Bill Dutton, who turned in 90 yards in rushing tactics. . For Nebraska, Marv Thompson and Fred Preston, at the ends, were going great guns in break ing up the interference and mak ing tackles behind the line. (Jlar ence Herndon and George Abel also turned in a stellar game. In the backfield, along with Dale Bradley, who functioned al most perfectly, Wayne Sindt and Roy Long, a couple of sophs, gave outstanding performances. Sindt in his relief of Athey, surprised everyone, and Long, playing while Bradley was out, showed a great deal of promise. Yes, we're unhappy, but, oh, well, it's Iowa next week. I Statistics . . .
