Now that everything has been settled, Coach Sutherland and his assistants will go to work to get their charges into the finest possible physical trim for the important tilt. No national championship is at stake, to be sure, but Pitt is more than eager to win the contest, because Carnegie Tech plays the Trojans at Los Angeles a week from today.

C. Carlson's Golden Panther tossers are ready to make their initial bid for recognition tonight when they meet Muskingum College in the Stadiun pavilion. Muskingum is not expected to ex- tend the veteran Carlson machine, but a salient feature of the tilt will be the experiment with the rule for putting the ball in play from out-of-bounds formation, an innovation which has been advocated for some time. Coaches and critics have maintained that the tip-off at center is unfair, that it gives the team with a lanky pivot man an undo advantage. Therefore, it has been sug i Bv The United Press.

Captain Charles Hyatt, leading scorer of the East last 'season with 302 points, will begin his last season in Pitt toggery.

He will be paired at forward with Paul Zehfuss, South Hills lad and one of the smallest regulars on any college basketball team in the country. At center, Lester Cohen will be chosen, while his brother Milton probably will handle one of the guard positions.

Carnegie, West Virginia and Penn State." EVERY INCENTIVE TO WIN. DEFEAT by the Trojans would be a humiliating blow to the Panther prestige. Jones' boys, by no stretih of the imagination, can be fig-. ured as a championship eleven. They have been beaten twice.

They defeated Stanford 7 to 0, and Aanford trounced California 21 to 6but the Golden Bears administered 12-7 defeat to the Trojans. Then Jones' boys stacked up against Notre Dame, with the Irish minus the inspiring presence of their great coach, and the west coast team was beaten by a single point, 13 to 12. Carnegie Tech was beaten by Notre Dame by a single touchdown, 7 to 0, and has yet to meet the Trojans. Pitt defeated Carnegie, 34 to 13, and the New Year's Day game will afford another basis of comparison between the Panthers and the Irish, although post-season tilts are seldom accepted as a true medium of comparison. The Panthers will be at a disadvantage in having to travel across the continent for their contest, but their admirers are confident they will rise to the heights, and make the most of the opportunity presented them.

By GEORGE ItfRKSEY, United Press Staff Writer. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Organized baseball took the first definite action toward condemning the practice of offering inducements to college and schoolboy athletes while still enrolled in school when the National Assn. passed a resolution at the. final session of its 1929 convention yesterday "depreciating" such tactics.

Acting on a plea from Byrd Douglass, Princeton coach and Nashville attorney, the National Assn. passed the following resolution: "It is the sense of the National Assn. that any attempt of organized baseball to induce directly or indirectly any college or schoolboy athlete to sign a contract or give an option on his services for pay while he is still enrolledjor in the process of education at any institution of learning is hereby depreciated." The close of the convention found minor league leaders still discussing during the second half of tonight's game. The conventional method of and 5. Watrous battled Farrell evenly on the first nine holes, but after that Johnny, gained an advantage which eventually brought him decisive victory.

The loser negotiated the first nine 36, one less than Farrell while for 18 the victor had a 73 to Watrous' 74. In the afternoon, Farrell went far ahead when Watrous turned in a 40 to his 35.
