Zuppke has abandoned the double wingback lineup, which put his grid- ders ahead in so many games and will present an intricate shift, which is expected, to cause great misery in Big Ten camps during the remainder of the season if it clicks.

PITT TO HELP DUKE DEDICATE STADIUM TODAY Continued from Page 17. from the university grounds all day. The Panthers staged a short but exceedingly snappy workout In the Tarheels' picturesque stadium, and Coach Sutherland rather tersely ad- I mitted that his boys seem both mentally and physically fit.

THE PITT boss announced definitely last night that Eddie Baker would start the game at quarterback. He also stated that "Rip" Collins, the Iowa boy, would supplant Bill Loehr at right end. Edwards' failure to put up his usual proficience in the recent practice sessions and Parkinson's excellent booting evidently had something to' do with Sutherland's decision to start Baker. Eddie is believed to be the better general and blocker, and, with a capable punter available, Edwards' more conservative method of running the team was to be sidetracked. Baker's use may be the tip-off that the Pitt coaches believe they will have to open up considerably if they want a diversified attack.

Eddie is the boy to. give it to them, for Eddie will gamble with scoring opportunities every time. He will make the Pitt style of offense look good, and that augurs well for a thriller from the spectators' standpoint. DeHart is expected to put full steam on right from the start. He has worked indefatigably to develop a forward passing attack, from all reports around here and he evidently knows Pitt's defensive weakness in this respect, and that is his sole chance to win.

DEHART PESSIMISTIC. IN AN INTERVIEW with Jimmie this morning, the former Pitt star took a pessimistic stand. 'We cannot hope to win," said the Duke mentor. "I only hope that Jock won't run it up too high on the players themselves are willing to give 14 points to cover any Duke terback and right end positions definitely settled, the rest of the lineup will be the same that started against Waynesburg Donchess at left end, Tully at left tackle, Capt. DiMeolo at left guard, Daugherty at center, Montgomery at right guard, MacMurdo at right tackle, with Uansa and Williams at the halves and Parkinson at full.

We haven't talked to anyone who would be so bold as to claim the home club would win.

Football fans everywhere prefer to speculate as to how great the score will be in Pitt's favor. At Chapel Hill, where hostility to Duks runs high, the North Carolina boys were unanimous in declaring that the Panthers would triumph. They hoped that it would be an overwhelming setback for the Durham lads, they said. Buie, the passer, could be stopped easily, they added, by rushing him and making him hurry passes, and they took it for granted that the aerial method was Duke's only hope. Veronas Play Again.

By JOE WILLIAMS CHICAGO, Oct. 5.

Out here the poplation seems to run largely to lightweights. In the space of a few hours time you are likely to run into Bat Nelson, a pretty sad looking character these days; Packey McFarland, prosper and portly; Charley White, unchanged as to appear ance, and proprietor of a swank pymnas ium catering to over stuffed ladies from the gold coast, and, of course, Sammy Mandell, the current title holder bemoaning the dearth of opposition in his class and yearning for a matCn with either Jackie Fields or Vince Dundee. "I think I can outstab either one the hP ten, vmi nd mavhe I can. PRODUCED LIGHTWEIGHTS. Chicago has produced more standout lightweights than any other section of the map, including, if you happen to feel that way about big Bill Thompson, the Mayor.

Nelson still symbolizes doggedness and unyielding courage wherever i fists are thrown. McFarland was probabzly the cleverest of all lightweights. White had the most explosive left hook any 135-pounder ever brought into the ring. A slow functioning noodle kept him down with, the second raters. I think the records will show he had more chances to win the title than any lightweight the game ever knew.

He fought Willie Ritchie Freddie Welsh and Benny Leonard, but he could never quite make the grade. In 1920 he took on a badly conditioned Leonard and knocked him through the ropes in one of the early rounds Dut tne cnampion came back and bulled him into sub mission, White surrendering in the ninth round. 0 ILLIE HOPPE, the billiardist is in town nudging the ivories around in exhibition matches. Yesterday he dropped in a Loop hotel to practice conversational pitch shots with Eddie Kane his old manager, and now the guardian of Mandell's fistic destinies. It doesn't seem so many years ago that the headlines used to refer to Hoppe as the "Boy Wonder." But the truth is it's been a long time since he was a child prodigy of the cue.

He's well along fn the forties now and his nair is as gray as a New England dog. Hoppe admits interest in billiards is not as keen as it once was, particularly in the smaller cities, where country club life overshadows the downtown recreation halls. Only in Chicago does he find billiard conditions anywhere like they used to be in the old days. For some reason peculiar to the town the sport continues to thrive here. Hoppe says the game suffers from lack of new blood.

TAKES fifteen years to make I a finished billiard player," says Hoppe, "and few young men have the patience or means to devote that much time to the development of a championship game." I asked Hoppe how many different shots the finished billiardist had to master and he answered casually, "Oh, about 25,000 or so," and he wasn't funning. I'm just as well satisfied that I went for marbles. The arrival of Hoppe reminded Mr. Kane of the time he booked him for an exhibition at the Metropolitan Opera House in the Big Town. Mr.

Kane informed the management that he wanted $3,000 for Hoppe. "What! Why we don't pay Caruso that much!" roared the roarer. "You'd be a sucker if you did," replied Mr. Kane. "What does that guy know about billiards?" HOWLEY TO BE DETHRONED.

THE STORY tHat Dan Howley is through as manager of the Browns is authentic. Philip De Catsby Ball will probably announce his successor during the World's Series and I have an idea that the identity of the individual will cause no little surprise. The retirement of Will Carrigan as manager of the Red Sox also will be announced shortly. Carrigan wanted to step out in August, but President Bob Quinn wouldn't let him. 1 I Huggins, is the highest priced man- ager in the league; he realizes he is going nowhere with the Redsox tha(.

When the Cubs went into spring training at Catalina, it was conceded that Gabby Hartnett would do most of the catching. Prior to the opening of the season, something went wrong with Hart-netts arm. Mike Gonzales stepped into the breach. For a time Catcher Angley, now with Kansas City, had to carry the burden. Johnny Schute was secured as protection.

Then came the deal that brought Zach Taylor to the Cubs and he has Rone most of the catching ever since. Taylor is just a fair hitter, but is a good mechanical receiver.
