...Pacific Coast Conference titans had experienced any nightmares at the thought of inviting Pitt's famed "dream team" to the Rose Bowl, it was relieved at what happened in Pittsburgh last week. In an upset far more shocking than that in California, a well coordinated Carnegie Tech machine that had been lying in ambush for a 25th-anniversary meeting with its mighty neighbor, overpowered the Pitt powerhouse, 20-to-10, toppled it from the pedestal where it was basking in a record of 22 games without defeat. Thus the two outstanding power teams of the U. S. tumbled...
...what makes this year's Pitt team the most outstanding in the U. S. (some say it is the greatest of all time) is a mighty line-without which no back can sparkle. If Pitt's dream backfield of Goldberg, Stebbins, Cassiano and Chickerneo is rated on a par with the famed Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, Pitt's line- Daddio, Merkovsky, Lezouski, Dannies, Petro, Raskowski, Hoffman-may be favorably compared with Fordham's recent Seven Blocks of Granite, or any other publicized bulwark of the past...

For several seasons Coach Jock Sutherland has been trying to fashion an outfit that would rank with Pitt's famed undefeated eleven of 1915, on which he played. This year he thinks...
...YORK--Only one of the nation's quintet of football titans faces formidable opposition in tomorrow's games. Santa Clara, apparently geared for another perfect season, gets a stern test against Texas A. and M. at San Francisco. The other four standouts should come through without difficulty. Pitt's panthers are favorites over Duquesne. Alabama should have easy going against North Carolina State. Minnesota looks like an easy winner over Purdue. And Notre Dame should march right through Georgia Tech...
