no horsepower scrapers were available, Director Miller took the question up with President Allen of the senate and it was decided to utilize the fiery loyalty of the students in the crisis at hand. No sooner said than done. The football management provided snow shovels and the undergraduates constructed wooden scrapers. The volunteers, 200 strong, were excused from classes at 1 o'clock and with a company of co-eds to add color and dispense refreshments the fun began. Scrapers scraped, shovels shoveled and wheelbarrows wheeled the snow off the field. At 2:30 the skeptics who had predicted the impossibility of the scheme began to depart in disgust, for the steadily increasing green space gave promise of the speedy conclusion of the operation. The field resembled an ant hill. Gangs of undergraduates hauled away at the scrapers, plied the shovels and pushed the barrows. From the sideline the soup line came and went, refreshed...The gravity of the football situation at the University of Pittsburgh is pretty well illustrated by the desperate methods that were taken yesterday in order to give the team the benefit of out-of-door practice." On November 15 the fourteenth game between Pitt and Wash. & Jeff. took place on Forbes Field. W. & J. had a comfortable 9–4 lead in the series. The Red and Black, led by second-year head coach Bob Folwell, came into the game with a 6–0–1 record, heir only blemish being a scoreless tie with Yale. They finished the season with a 10–0–1 record and out score their opponents 360–13. The Red and Black lineup featured the school's three first time All-Americans: center Burleigh Cruikshank and halfbacks Red Fleming and Johnny Spiegel. The Pitt Weekly reported: "Fighting bravely against overwhelming odds, on a field ankle-deep with mud, Pitt slipped and skidded to a 19–6 defeat before W. and J. at Forbes Field last Saturday. A constant drizzle lasted throughout the entire game, making an especially poor football day. In spite of the rain, a crowd of 20,000 rooters and spectators remained till the final whistle blew." The Pittsburgh Sunday Post was more dramatic with: "Eleven sweatered young men with a business-like mien came to the city yesterday from the little town with the big name and rubbed Pittsburgh's football nose in two inches of slime on Forbes Field. The score – Washington and Jefferson, 19; University of Pittsburgh, 6. The heavens wept." Ralph S. Davis
