St It will be the supreme test for the Duke is certain to take long chances, and a highly touted forward passing attack may cause Pitt considerable trouble. The passing combination of Buie to Robeson has been a sensation to date, and it is likely that the Blue Devils will open up in the first quarter with their tricky aerial offensive. DeHart was a teammate of Jock Sutherland's on the famous 1918 Pitt team, and he is thoroughly familiar with many of the Panther points of play. Pitt has varied the Warner attack more than has Duke, however, and the fact that both coaches know something about the other's attack works to advantage both ways. DUKE'S VETERANS.
