Nov.

28-fA. Stocky Wlllard Perdue, of Duke, smashed through a weary Pittsburgh line and into football a- Immortality today. The Duke end, alternate Working back a year ago, banged into one of John Chickerneo's frequent punts from the snow-covered end zone, grabbed it on the bounce and scored the touchdown that defeated mighty Pitt for the Blue Devils, 7 to 0, and ended the most remarkable season In the history of Duke football. The touchdown, scored on the fifth play of the fourth quarter, was enough to send the 52,000 spectators into transports of joy and maintained the Blue Devils' position as the Nation's only major undefeated, untied, unscored on eleven.

The freezing temperature and the snow kept the crowd below the predicted Eddie Moczarski, Central fullback, gives a perfect demonstration of the kind of football the teams played and the defense put up by the Shamrocks. Moczarski is stopping Art Macioszczyk with a terrific tackle after Art had gained four yards. By Doc Hoist The Hamtramck football club refused to believe it had been tten Saturday. Only Coach Frank was able to compre-hend. A the game ended at prtggs S'milum, Cobb rushed out and hwk the hand of his rival and victorious coach, John Hackett, of Catholic Central.

The Hamtramck in, huddling beneath its Minuets, sat motionless on the benili for a full minute after the game ended. Over on the other bench the air seemed filled with golden cannon-balls. Theywere the helmets of the victorious, and one must say surprised, Catholic Central team. They were a group of boys who had gone into a gam that the entire State of Michigan was betting they would lose by three or four touchdowns. And they had come out victorious.

Some of the toy were ready to believe they had Santa Claus playing in the barkfield.

Outplayed from Scrimmage Outplayed from the start from scrimmage, Catholic Central's lighter team turned two intercepted passes and an end sweep into three long touchdown gallops which left the powerful Ham-traruck team stunned almost before the game was under way. Johnny McHale, 205-pound Shamrock center, scored first was talk of the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl and almost every postseason fixture. But if Perdue' touchdown won the game, the trusty right foot of Eric (The Red) Tipton saved it.

The senior tailback on Wallace Wade's twentieth and greatest eleven kept the Blue Devils In and the Panthers out of the ball game with 20 punt that averaged 39 yards from scrimmsge and which held the weary Pittsburgh backs pinned in their own territory in the last quarter.

The other Catholic Central touchdown, which actually won the game, came on Tony Groth's 85-yard touchdown gallop Hy then, Jock Sutherland' eleven, which played through with only six substitutions, was dog tired. Twice in the first half It had bid terrifically hard for touchdowns, with the great Marshall Goldberg leading the Attacks with reckless and brilliant running and deadly blocking. Each time the surge fell short. The solid, seaworthy Duke line halted the first savage charge on the 10, the second failed when Larry Peace, Goldberg's replacement, fumbled on the 19 Goldberg was the spearhead of each drive.

The first time he made first downs on the Pitt 31 and 48, pounded out two more on the Duke 39 and 24 and then smashed out the last on the 10.

Army bounced off the rope with a recovered fumble and a devastating 81-yard march in th third period today to sweep Navy' hard fighting, never-surrendering football forces into defeat, 14 to 7, before 102,000 half-frozen fans at Philadelphia Municipal Stadium, The victory, twenty-second for the Cadets in a series of 39 contests noted for their ferocity and pageantry, was as sudden as it was sweet to a team that trotted on the frozen tundra a heavily played favorite.

Navy had fought back to gain a tie at 7-all and was driving relentlessly deep in Army territory when one of its great hero's of the game, -V, the last two minutes of the first half. 26 Straight Victories Today Catholic Central has the longest winning streak In Michigan high school circles. The Shamrocks have won their last 26 games. The defeat snapped an 18-game winning streak for Hamtramck, the big 3-1 favorite before the opening kickoff. The big fellows from Hamtramck made the first downs but those little fellows from Catholic Central made the touchdowns.

And the little fellows blocked like mighty gridiron giants on those three spectacular touchdown runs. Hamtramck gained 14 first down3 to five and outrushed Central from scrimmage, 273 yards to 132, but that didn't bother the Catholic League champions a bit. f.i team was to be presented with a gold football and the losers nilver one. The Cosmos marched f'oxly, patting each other on th back and otherwise consoling fvh other. They had played a hard-fought battle and the crowd of 30.000 was just as startled an stunned as they.

It was Coach Cobb's first loss ai a high school coach. Coach Unrkett's record remains un-marred. Once upon a time the citizens a town gave a party honoring an old gentleman and made per-f'ft arrangements with one exception. They forgot to invite the gentleman. At 2 p.
