PENN STATE'S GRIDDERS GET A REST TODAY I Coach Hugo Bezdek Is Here to See Pitt's Big Battle With Georgia Tech Eleven State College, Nov. 23 Penn State eridders will take matters eapy this afternoon, awaiting the return of Coach Hugo Bezdek from Pitts- burg, where he will ba a slderme spectator at today's game between Pitt and Georgia Tech. State closes its season next Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, with its annual contest ti-itv.

i Panthers, and Bezdek has gone on to the westera end of the state 'to get a big eyeful on what to expect. Because of the fact that Georgia Tech is likely to extend Pitt to the limit of its resources. It is believed here that Bezdek will be able to get more information out of this one contest than ordinarllly could be obtained by scouting the Blue and Gold an entire season. Assistant Coach Chuck Terger ran the squad yesterday avnd put It through a lively scrimmage. The varsity did fairly well, but did not perform up to the standard set by the former State star, and he may call for a light session this afternoon to patch up several defects before Coach Bezdek returns.

State is confident of making a fine showing against Pitt, especially in I i view of the fact that it will have had almost two full weeks of rest and special preparation, while Pitt is called upon to battle the crack Golden Tornado today, and will get very little' pointing for the invasion of its domain by the Blue and White. COMMANDER OF 110TH REGIMENT, HOME FROM FRANCE, TO SEE GAME. Among the spectators at today's Pitt-Georgia Tech football game will be Lieut. Col. Ed.

Martin, of the One Hundred and Tenth regiment, the old "Fighting Tenth," who arrived in Pittsburg yesterday from Prance. He spent last night at his home In Waynesburg, and brought Mrs. Martin to Pittsburg today to see the big gridiron classic. The first thing Lieut. Col.

Martin, who for several months has been in command of the One Hun dred and Tenth, did upon his ar rival in Pittsburg; was to call Mrs. Thompson, wife of Maj. Joseph II. Thompson, "Joe, of Pitt fame, and give her a message from her brave husband. The next thing he did was to askt "Where can I get two tickets for the football "game?" Director Miller, of Pitt, was ap pealed to, and turned over two ticketa which he had purchased for personal friends.

Most of the critics have overlooked one real star on the Georgia Tech team," remarked a well known football follower this morning "Barron, the southerners' quarterback, is a man Pitt will have to watch closely today. He is a wonderful player, and is just as likely to be the individual star of Georgia's play as Guyon, Fincher, Flowers or any of the others." ALLtUntNT of be a at a in The eyes of all football followers are focused on Pittsburg today, as the celebrated Pitt Panthers, undefeated since away back in 1914, line up ii battle array against the famous Georgia Tech "Golden Tornado," which has noj been topped for almost four full seasons. At Forbes Field this afternoon these two great football machines. undoubtedly the class of the collegiate world this fall fight it out for the benefit of the United War Work fund. The spectacle to be presented this afternoon in an unprecedented one for Western Pennsylvania.

It Is certain that all local football attendance will be umashrd. This niorninn it was reported that scarcely a ticket, even in the remotest corners of the lince stands at Forbe re-mained unsold. Long before 12:30, the hour when the gates were elated to open, a line of prospective spectators liad be-gim to form outsioe the entrances to the park, where it had been announced that general admission tickets good for standing room only would be placed on pale after all the eeat tickets had been disposed of. Special street car service was to be inaugurated shortly after noon, to A REAL ATTRACTION FOR A REAL CHARITY. Most charity events athletic or otherwise are pulled through to success because they are for some worthy cause or object.

Often the attraction is' not as classy as It might be, but the people respond because it helps something In which they are interested. Hut this is not the case today with the Pitt-Oeorjiin Tech foot-5 ball game, which bids fair to net at least $15,000 for the Inllnl War Work fund. The success of this undertaking is not due to the fact that the game is for charity-worthy as It Is but to the fact that It is a superb athletic at- traction, which BfWi no other boost than Its own merit. carry the eager crowds to the scene of the battle, and arrangements had been made by the police department to handle the great throng with the least possible amount of confusion.

ENTHUSIASM UNLIMITED. Enthusiasm unlimited was expected to be a rousing feature of the clash between the gridiron giants. Pitt rooters wilt, be vastly in the majority, of course, but the Georgians are not without adherents here, several hundred graduates of the southern institution being located In technical positions in Western Pennsylvania. "For the past week many of these ave been meeting nightly at the, "Westing-house club in Wilkinsburg, rnd practicing songs and cheers for their alma mater which they planned to use today.

Besides being the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game here, today's outpouring was expected to be the most representative ever assembled here on such an occasion. Tickets had been reserved by men prominent In the professional and world, well known educators, military and naval officers and ctners. Everybody seemed to be vitally interested in the struggle, and to be eager to witness the battle for supremacy between the football Titans. The Pitt boys took their final workout last night, and then rested for "TREAT 'EM ROUGH. if Coach Warner, of the Panthers, has been the recipient of many "tlps" from friends and others, telling htm how to beat fieorgtn Tech today.

Thev have rehearsed plays which have been in the repertoire of every Pitt eleven since Warner came here, but which have never been used because the necessity of Pitt extending itself to the limit has never before arisen.

Many Pitt follower are of the opinion 'that the membcra of the Georgia, Tech football team will be at disadvantage here today, becanae they come from the ao-ealled "nanny oath." "Boa't fool yourself," nays Prof.

Andrew Kerr, who waa in Atlanta week ago for the purpose of "seoniiiHt" Tech in the Camp Gordon game which waa not played. They have frost In Atlanta, and 1 found It little warmer there than here. The weather will not affect the Georgians any more than the Pitt boya." Most gridders like a cold, crisp day for a football game, but Capt. McLaren la an exception. "Give me a bright, warm day," aald he.

"The blowa you receive don't hurt so muck when you are warm." Hal Will Find It Impossible to Obtain Employment in Or ganized Baseball, It Is Said By Joe Vila. Copywright. 1018, by New rk Sun. New York, Nov. ZZ.

Thert vill be a final disposition of the -e of First Baseman Hal Chase during the National league meeting at the Waldorf Astoria next month. Chase will be dropped out of organized baseball. He will not be blacklisted as a result of certain charges which the magnates are eager to suppress, but the Cincinnati club will hand him a formal notice of release, and Chase will find it impossible to obtain another position In the major leagues. The minors will follow the example of the big fellows, so that Chase mus confine his efforts hereafter to semi-professional baseball or retire from baseball or retire from the game. As I understand it.

Chase will not be put on trial to answer charges that he wagered on certain ball games last season. He has brought a suit against the Cincinnati club for unpaid salary withheld after his suspension early in August, but his claim probably will be Fettled to avoid an airine of the nrannl rr 1 1 Chase will pass into baseball his- I tory as the greatest first baseman that ever put on a uniform. "His! career has been one of lost opportunities due to a surprising lack of good sense. Chase is well educated and shrewd in certain ways but he never has taken his profession seriously and has been a target for much hostile criticism. When Chase first Joined the Yankees, a aoxen years ago he was a lively kid, with phenomenal playing skill.

He went to the front i with a rush and was a popular idol when he got Into a rumpus with the club officials and jumped the team in mid-season. Chase was reinstated by the National commission on the payment of a fine and returned to the Yankees professing new allegiance to the manager. In 1910 he supplanted Stallings as the leader of the team and was unjustly charged with employing the "double-cross." The removal of Stallings had been ordered by President Ban Johnson for certain reasons, and Chase was the only available man for the job. But Chase didn't manage the Yankees. He mismanaged them finally was removed.

ALWAYS INSUBORDINATE. When Frank Chance assumed charge of the Yankees in 1913 he took Chase into his confidence and told him that If he would pay strict attention to the business he restored to the management of the team at the expiration of Chance's two-year contract. But instead of taking Chance's advice. Chase soon became insubordinate and openly ridiculed the leader. Chance then traded Chase to the Whitesox for Zeider and Borton, "the bunion and the onion." as the fans called them.

Comiskey signed Chase to an contract, and the crack first baseman played superbly for nearly a year. But In July, 1014, Chase suddenly Jumped his Chicago contract and accepted a proposition from the Buffalo Federals. Comiskey took him into court and was Deaten, because Chase had a 10-day release clause in fcia Whitesox contract. From a moral point of view. Chase was regarded as an out and out contract jumper and he became a marked man.

Before the big leagues opened in 1P16, after having made peace with the Federals, it was generally believed that Chase had been barred from the game as a penalty for his treatment of Comiskey. None of the major league clubs showed the slightest desire for his services and it began to look like a game of freeze-out, when Garry Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club and chairman of the National Commission, surprised his colleagues by offering em ployment to Chase. The latter was glad to sign and proceeded to get along finely with Charley Herzog, the Reds' manager. When Matty succeeded Herzog, Chase was the first to swear allegiance to Big Six. During the campaign of 1917 Chase led the National league in bat- I ting and became extremely popular! alt over the circuit.

It was in the first week of last August that Matty exploded a bomb by suspending Chase before a game between the Reds and Giants at the Polo Grounds. Chase disappeared Immediately and Matty preferred charges against him with the Cincinnati club. "Chase will never play another game of ball in the majors orminors," declared Matty, who evidently knew what he was talking about. So Chase is through. Yankees in The Sankee Juniors are in the field this year with a fast lightweight team, actual weight 130 pounds, and would like to book games with teams for Sundays; Thanksgiving also open.

Delp, who is member i the Fifty-second Training battery at Camp Taylor, where our old friend, "Bugs'! Baer, is also going through some stunts. Frank was a member of the East Liberty Presbyterian church team of THE PRESS basketball league, and his team won the championship the last year the league was in existence before the war caused a shutdown. The letter says: "TOt! SHOULD aee basketball as It Is played In the army, particularly Camp Taylor, Ky.

We had a game last Saturday afternoon, which we played with full equipment. Including hobnailed shoes. Necessarily, ibe game is slowed up and the PRESS leaguers, If they were spectators, would hardly call It basketball. "AS THE basketball season approaches, McShannic writes from France that he yearns to take another whack at basketball. I suppose you know that the whole team of THE.

'T have a coming star in the fistic game who hails from Pittsburg in Kid Nicklaus, a member of the Galvest-Mi club of the Northside. He has taken the game more seriously since coming into the army, and is training down to the minute. I say he will make a lot of the boys step some when he gets back home. His last three bouts-at the 'Y' hut have been clean knockouts. His last bout with Kid Clancy, oi Philadelphia, was a real hummer.

Although greatly outweighed, he managed to put the right one over on Clancy in the first round. Nicklaus is a lightweight, and in private life was a pressman. He is with Co. Eleventh battalion, I. R.

T. is K. now. Capt. McLaren is absolutely fit, and the same holds true of Tom Davies, Pitt's latest wizard.

and "Skip" tha other dependable in Pitfs back-field. This -quartet will doubtless start the game behind the line for the Panthers. If anything happens to them. Warner has a number of capable substitutes. For instance, there is Herb who made such a fine impression with his lins plunging in the Penn game, and then there are Tom Hamburger, Bill Horner, Dave Pitler, Swaney, Sande-inire, Friedman and others.

BILL HARRINGTON AT END. Bill Harrington will doubtless sttrt the game at right and, with Harry McCarter at the left extremity, and Ray Allshouse as first reserve. Hllty and Alervls will be at tackle, with Markowltz and Harmon ready fo. action whenever needed. Stahl and vance Allshouse will be at guards and Stein at center.

This lineup is strong in every position, and Pitts-burgers feel confident it is good enough to hold its own with the redoubtable Tech eleven. The Georgia Tech party arrived In Pittsburg last night, and went to the William Penn hotel, where headquarters were established, and where adherents of the "Golden -Tornado' gathered last night for a pre-game jollification. There are a large num-bar of Tech alumni In Western Pennsylvania, and they were all on hanl to shake the hands of Coach Herman and his players. One of the first to greet them wa; the elder Guyon, brother of Joe Guyon, the Georgia tackle and halfback. Guyon the elder played at Carlisle Indian school under Glenn Warner years ago, and he.

too, was a wonder. He Is now located in Washington, D. in the employ of A. G. Spalding Bro.

He came here with a wad of coin which he was eager to place on "Brother Joe's team." TECH VETERANS WITH TEAM. Coach Heisman said this morning1 that his men were all in good' condi tion, and he was supremely confident 1 that they would give the Panthers more than they bargained for in the way of a battle. Several of last year's veterans. Including Rogers and Dowling, from last year's varsity who were recently able to obtain their release from officers' training' camps, are here with the Georgians, and it Is highly probable that they will be shoved into the lineup at some stage of today's game. Coach Glenn Warner refused to be quoted on the probable outcome' of the game, further than to say that he had the fullest confidence In his boys.

Some of those close to the Pitt mentor were not quite so reticent, however, and freely predicted a decisive victory for the Panthers. "The Pitt team toJay." said one of them, "Is the best coached, most carefully trained, instructed football aggregation in the country. If they fall today it will simply be because they have met a superior outfit, or because players fail to do what they have been told. They will, if they play to form, show more up-to-date, football than has ever been seen here." There was considerable betting on the game, and. In spite of warnings from Coach Warner, many of Pltt9 followers offered big edds on their pets.

Wagers were made at odds of 10 to and 10 to 5. and there -were a number of bets made at evens that Pitt would win by a margin of 1-t points. Other wagers were on the basis of whether Georgia Tech would score. TODAY'S LINEUP. PITT.
