This was made certain last night at a meeting of the University of l-'ittsburg Athletic Council, when a resolution previously passed by the Student Senate recommending that relations with Tech be severed was adopted.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT today by the University of Pitfs-jburg athletic authorities that a decision nad been reached to have 'nothing further to do with Carnegie Tech in a sporting way was hardly unexpected.

THERE HAS been considerable bitterness between the two schools for a loner time, and this was increased greatly on the ciation. The champion soccer teams of Ros- coe and Sturgeon, which meet on Sat- urday at Forbes Field, are products 1 is of the United States. Time was. and not so long ago, that very few of the local soccer football teams were able to right their way through the gruel, ing contests of the earlier rounds of the West Penn soccer cup competi tion without the assistance of several old-country" players. This season, however, the game has quite evidently reached the noint where the native sons of Uncle Sam are showing the British-A m.ri-an how the soccer game should be played, teaching them their own game, in fact.

For the first time in the history of the West Penn Soccer association. the cup finalist teams will be composed of American men. as a varsity sport, and the graduate manager of Athletics was instructed to secure a coach for the team for next spring. A manager will be appointed in the near future, and a schedule of games with other col occasion of the recent football game between the Panther anil the Plaid at Forbes Field, at which a riot was precipitated by Tech students who resented the attempt of Pitt men to lower a 'Tech flag, which had' surreptitiously been raised to the top of the Forbes Field flagstaff.

Fuller, Madden, Manners, Nagle, Drury. the two McCormicks. McGov-ern, McGrimson, Baker, Humphries. Burke, Chandler and Quinn remain on the roster, giving the Winged Head just about the strongest collection of puck chasers on the continent.

Man The managements of the champioit teams report the players In good shape for the cup finals. Both teams have a fine roster to select from. Roscoe has 16 men eligible to be in the lineup, and Sturgeon has 17. In choosing the men upon whom they depend for "fetching home the bacon," In the form of the fine silver cup which goes to the winning eleven, the managers of the teams have as classy a bunch of soccer players to pick from as ever appeared in the cup final. The teams will be at full strength Saturday and the hardest kind of a contest will be the outcome.

ROSCOE TEAM IS HEAVIER. The Panhandle team of Sturgeon is slightly behind the Roscoe men In the matter of weight. The fact holds from goal out. The goaltender of the River team, Andy Rutherford tips the scale at about 200, while Pete Edwards touches the 205 mark, but aside from one other player, McFalls, who Is not likely to be in the lineup. Sturgeon's boys are to the light side.
