The following season, the Cardinals traveled to Pittsburgh where the Tartans won 55-0.  

Carnegie Mellon will enter the contest with a 1-1 record after dropping its opener at Grove City College 28-10 before defeating Allegheny College last week, 26-7.  Prior to its idle week, Catholic won 48-16 at McDaniel two weeks ago to
