This year sees a revival in baseball and boxing – and a new sport, aviation makes its initial bow, Pitt being the seventh charter member admitted to the Inter-collegiate Flying Association.

Coach Warner warned: "I will say that those who are busily predicting another clean sweep for Pitt are taking a great deal for granted and, I believe, are failing to give due consideration to the probable strength of some of our opponents.

Geneva has a veteran eleven this year, depending for the most part upon the same classy outfit that won fame last fall by defeating Washington & Jefferson and putting up such a stiff battle against the strong Wissahickson Barracks gridders.

[24] On the Tuesday after the game this note appeared in The Pittsburgh Post: "Pitt admits the Covenanters scored a safety, which in the excitement of the struggle was called a touchback.

"[29] On Wednesday (October 8) Harry Keck of The Gazette Times wrote: "West Virginia has one of the greatest teams the country has seen in several years and a loss to her will be far from a disgrace.

The final score came after an eleven play sustained drive from midfield and ended with a three yard dash through left guard by Hastings.

[34] According to Harry Keck of The Gazette Times Coach Warner was worried: "Unless I miss my guess by a whole lot, Syracuse will go into tomorrow's game feeling itself the underdog, while it will require a bit of picking up to make my men fight their hardest.

"[36] The Gazette Times gave it historical perspective: "Three years ago this month one of the greatest upsets in the history of football was put across on the gridiron of the magnificent Archbold Stadium in this city.

Today on the same gridiron, with Pitt, unbeaten by a collegiate foe through four full seasons, and parts of two others and the favorite in the advance dope, the well-known worm turned.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Cliff Brown, Adolph Herskowitz, Thomas Hamberger, Oscar Kratzert, John Laughran and Abe Breman.

[39] On Monday, October 20 The Atlanta Constitution noted: "'On to Pittsburg' is the cry of the Yellow Jackets this week, and they will hop the old rattler for Pittsburgh and other points on Wednesday.

"[45] With the strong opening headline: Pitt Wallops Georgia Tech - Ralph S. Davis of The Pittsburg Press praised the Panthers: "'The Golden Tornado' is only a "brass breeze" after all!

Before the weakest football team that the University of Pittsburgh has had in half a dozen years, the highly touted Georgia Tech aggregation went down to defeat yesterday at Forbes Field, by the score of 16 to 6.

"[46] Les Rawlings of The Atlanta Constitution praised the Yellow Jackets: "Staging one of the most brilliant comebacks in the history of the game, the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech held the University of Pittsburgh Panthers to a 16-to-6 score after the easterners had snowed them under an avalanche of thirteen counters in the first quarter.

In a word, Tech was completely outplayed and lost the game through what happened in that first quarter before they came out of their trance and buckled down to the brand of football they are capable of playing.

[48] The third road trip of 1919 took the Panthers east to South Bethlehem, PA to face the undefeated and unscored upon Lehigh Brown and White football team.

"[52] Florent Gibson of The Pittsburgh Sunday Post described the action with his usual flair: "Turning what seemed destined to result in a scoreless tie, a drawn battle, into a glorious, scintillating, feverishly hilarious triumph, Pitt's wounded but indomitable Panthers – and Tom Davies – defeated a sturdy strong desperate Lehigh eleven on Taylor Stadium, this afternoon, 14 to 0 in the last seven minutes of play.

"[55] "Finally, when darkness was closing in on the big crowd and rain began falling hard little Davies broke through the left side of the Lehigh line and ran 50 yards for the first score of the game.

"[60] After the game Florent Gibson of The Pittsburgh Sunday Post noted: "Outrushing their hereditary foemen from Washington and Jefferson by 317 yards to 165, registering 14 earned first downs to the Red and Black's eight, crashing against their foe's goal line on six separate occasions to the three visits Wash-Jeff made deep in Blue and Gold territory, the Panthers of Pitt had to be content with a purely nominal 7-to-6 victory in their annual meeting at Forbes Field yesterday.

"All the reserved seat tickets for the game have been sold and one of the largest crowds that ever stormed Franklin Field for football is certain to be on hand to witness the battle."

[66] The Philadelphia Inquirer told it best: "The ferocious Panther of Pittsburgh and the Fighting Quaker of Franklin Field battled each other to a three to three deadlock yesterday before the largest crowd that ever saw Penn play football on her gridiron.

In the middle of the second period, all but a few of those same 30,000 fanatics were chagrined when (Andy) Hastings, the big Panther full-back, tied up the score by booting a placement goal from the 38-yard line.

"[67]Ralph Davis of The Pittsburg Press noted: "While today's tie score breaks the string of consecutive Pitt victories, the Panthers still have the record of being undefeated in five games with the Quakers.

There was terrific driving and plunging, smashing tackling and courageous individual work all through the 60 minutes of struggling; but despite all this, it was one of the cleanest contests ever staged in the history of the time-honored Penn Stadium.

The Pitt students, under Cheer Leader 'Jim' Scott, have been doing wonderfully this fall in the way of encouraging their gridiron representatives, and will be keyed up to a high pitch on Saturday.

Policemen from all parts of the enclosure rushed to the scene and with drawn clubs fought their way through the crowd, and after a lively tussle restored order....And through it all the Tech banner, which had been the cause of the uprising, continued to fly until the conclusion of the game.

[78] Coach Warner decided "McCracken will start at quarterback in Morrow's place, as he has done a few times and Speedo Laughran, DeHart's regular understudy, will be in at right halfback again.

Government officers in plain clothes will patrol the Oakland section next Thursday, as well as all of downtown hotels, and declare they will arrest all offenders of the law.

They watched their favorites go down to defeat yesterday at Forbes Field by the count of 20 to 0 before the onslaught of Hugo Bezdek's powerful Penn State machine, and their only solace was that 1920 might tell another story.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were W. Cullen Gourley, Frank Eckert, Oscar Kratzert, W. J. Thomas, Louis Markowitz, Gus Aschman and Abe Breman.
