This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...of the finest and cleanest football contests ever witnessed on a college gridiron, when they administered a severe defea: to the Panthers. The score, twenty to nothing, was adequate revenge for the past six defeated years. Pitt was completely outplayed and the defeat was decisive. A run of seventy-five yards for a touchdown by Captain Higgins, Charlie Way's fifty-three yard sprint through the entire Pitt team and Harry Robb's generalship were the outstanding features of the game. A football write-up would not be complete without mention of Frank Scott and Ollie DeVictor, two of the most renowned of the Track House Team. For without Scotty's beans the valiant gridiron warriors would soon be downed with indigestion, and without Scotty's watchful eye the Varsity Table Athletes would founder in a short time from too many seconds on dessert. As for Ollie DeVictor, he might well be nicknamed Versatile. for, besides being the head of a thriving family, he is general guardian of the Track House, preserver of the college peace, information bureau for all aspiring athletes, proprietor of the stock room: and in his spare moments takes a hand at producing a golf course from a choice selection of rocks and stubble. Ollie acts as father to the second assistant managers, as advisor and counsellor to the first assistants, and could truthfully be termed the Varsity manager sub rosa. But in spite of all his cares and duties, Ollie always has a cheery smile for evervone, and is loved by all who know him. football Cine-up Head Coach---------Hugo Bezdek Assistant Coach--------R. C.
