IIAVNUM- With the city collegiate football championship at stake, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech will send two well-primed teams into action at 2:30 today at the Pitt stadium. Theoretically they are playing for the mythical Pittsburgh title actually the rivalry between the two schools is so bred in the bone of every loyal son or daughter of the two institutions, that their teams could have lost every game to date, and still draw a great crowd of supporters for their annual battle. Today's game finds the Panthers boasting a perfect record and an inviolate goal line. Their opposition was sliding along at an equal pace until they struck W. J.

and an off-day at the same time. The Plaid is said to have been far below form against the Presidents, and the 20 to 6 beating they took last Saturday is not considered the correct measure of their true ability. Pitt is still smarting from last year's defeat, and from other setbacks in re in, imr. vOC" 'Z RALPH DAVIS SAYS Pantber and tbe Plaid In Battle Array Guesses on Size of Score Vary Greatly Pitt-rVotre Dame Resumption Welcomed Here 1 OCAJL FOOTBALL fans come into their own today with the playing of the city championship game between the Pitt Panthers and the Tech Tartans at the Pitt stadium. The game should be one of the most interesting exhibi tions in the country.

PITT GOES into it with an unbeaten team whose goal line has not been crossed this season. That makes the Panther the outstanding favorite with most of the fans. CARNEGIE has been beaten by Washington Jefferson, which is no disgrace. However, the fact that the Plaid has been defeated leads many the conclusion that she will be apple pie for the Panther. COACH WALLY Steffen doesn't think so, and neither does Coach Sutherland, of Pitt.

"Naturally, I hope for a victory," says the usually silent Jock, "but I anticipate no walkover." JOCK IS right In this case. He can not be termed a pessimist for anticipating a fight today. Any time you put 11 Techites and 11 Pittites on the same gridiron it's a battle royal. Dope is cast aside, past performances don't count. IN THE lifetime averages, Pitt has a good edge, but in recent contests, the advantage is with Tech, and she has come through several times in unexpected fashion.

IT IS TRUE that Pitt should win today, but 175,000 football fans prepared to witness three hotly contested gridiron battles today at New Haven, Cambridge, and Ithaca. Interest was focused on Yale bowl where the Army mule and the Yale bulldog prepared to battle in their 27th annual classic before 80,000 spectators-Dartmouth's dazzling offensive team lined up against a strong Harvard eleven at Cambridge with 55,000 banked around the Harvard horse shoe. For the first time since 1907 Prince ton and Cornell, flying unsmirched banners, faced each other on the grid iron at Ithaca with Cornell's crescent shaped stadium jammed with 35,000 persons. THREE FAVORITES. Those who like the favorites were wagering an Army, Dartmouth and Princeton.

Those who ride with the underdog took a ticket on Yale, Harvard and Cornell. Army, with its lineup dotted in eight places with veteran stars, should by every pencil and paper cal culation sweep the Yale team aside without calling on extra strength. Practically the same Army team beat Yale, 33-0, last year, but this 1927 eleven has stumbled and tripped around against Boston University, De troit, Marquette and Davis-EUons. Maybe the mule has lost his kick, or maybe the mule has saved it for Yale. To win.

Army must stop Bruce Caldwell, who comes close to being the best baU carrier in the East. Un hampered by his injured shoulder, Caldwell's clicking cleats may tram-' pie over an unorganized cadet line. Without that deceptive shift of a year ago, Cagle, Murrell and Captain Wilsdn may find the going quite a bit rougher against the Blue. What of Harvard's chances to stave off the rush of the big green Dartmouth team which has rolled up 178 points in four games? Decidedly the underdog. Harvard must play above its head to win.

The Crimson has a good line and one star back in Joe Crosby and there's no telling what may happen if Harvard does not get dizzy watching the Green's varied aerials flying in all directions. LANE REAL STAR. Myles Lane, the East'3 leading scorer, and Bob McPhail are real stars in the Dartmouth backfield and Harvard has no chance unless It can hold onto Lane's legs and keep on top of McPhail to prevent him from shooting deadly accurate passes to the arms of his teammates. Princeton's undefeated, unscored on eleven faces perhaps the most difficult assignment of the day to beat Cornell at Ithaca. BUI Roper has one of his typical teams this season smart, resourceful and tricky Gloomy Gil Dobie has taught his team something else besides off-tackle smashes this season, and tba Tigers may be surprised unless they are prepared to smother a forward pass attack.

Washington and Jefferson, Syracuse and Pittsburgh, defending undefeated records, galloped into action against Lafayette, Penn State and Carnegie Tech, respectively. CHICAGO TO BATTLE QUAKERS SIXTH TIME IN FOOTBALL TODAY Chicago, Oct. 22. The University of Chicago took the field for its sixth game with the University of Pennsylvania today, and hopes were high for the first victory against th Red and Blue. Although both teams have suffered defeat this season, they are considered fairly strong, and representative of the east and west.

Both squads knew nothing of the opposition's attack, for the game was played under a "no scouting" agreement. Both teams also, were handicapped by the loss of good players through- injuries. Paul Scull and Brill were thought unable to start for Pennsylvania, while Vln Libby and Proudf oot were the principal maroon cripples. The lineup: Ctaicaeo. Pennajil num.

Three Lafayette college records win be challenged Saturday afternoon when Lafayette and W. J. stage their annual grid classic here. The Presidents are favorites to win tomorrow's game, for the Leopards are more or less cripples and it was definitely announced today that Tuffy Guest, star fullback, who last year scored the winning touchdown against W. will not play tomorrow.

The muscle injury Guest suffered in the West Virginia game last Saturday has not completely healed and the coaches will not take any chances on furtther aggravating the injury.

IT SHOULD be colorful football, with both teams putting everything they have into it. It is a pity that Dick Booth, Pitt's plunger, will not be in the best of shape. Fans like this lad's work when he is in the finest of trim. Even without him, Pitt is well fixed. And against this weU-fixed aggregation, Tech sends an array of famed scrappers, who dont know when they're licked.

GO TO IT, you gridders, and may the better team win. VARIOUS opinions are being expressed as to the score, of today's battle at the stadium. There are few to be found hardy enough to predict a Tartan triumph. Even the loyal Plaid students admit that their team faces an almost hopeless task. However, hope springs eternal in the breast of a college man, where his favorite team is concerned, and there are those among the Schenley park student body who figure that the game will be decided by the margin of one touchdown, or perhaps a single point.

MAX HANNUM likes Pitt to the extent of two touchdowns, and he doesn't think Tech will score. Moreover, he says: "If Pitt scores in the first quarter, it is likely to be a walkaway. When cent years. Time was when the Blue and Gold took on their neighbors only in the nature of a warmup contest for later big rivals. Things have changed, and we have in our own city two major teams, playing the same class of football.

DEMANDING VICTORY. It is no secret that Pitt alumni are demanding a victory over the Tartans this year. The setbacks at the hands of the Ski bos have hurt, and have been severe blows to Panther prestige. It was not until last year that Carnegie received the credit due her, and it took an upset defeat of Notre Dame to bring that about. Consequently, whenever the world read that the mighty Pitt team had taken another one on the chin from this technical school, the natural thought outside of western Pennsylvania was that the Panthers were slipping.

In this district the fans knew better. They had seen the great strides that Carnegie had made on the gridiron. And so tiie Plaid came to its rightful place as one of the most bitter of all Pitt's natural rivals, and one more classic was added to our season's annual program. Today is just as big a day as when W. J.

or Perm State come to town, and for that reason the Pitt stadium may witness one of its largest crowds. And certainly something good is in store for those who like their games well-played and with a touch of thrills here and there to add spice. This year's Pitt team is arousing the greatest local enthusiasm and interest since 1916 and those big seasons. The Plaid is always colorful. As many individual stars will be in the game as will display on any field the length and breadth of the land today.

Pitt has Booth, Welch and Hagan, tried and true backfield aces, with Charley Edwards, a comer if there ever was one, to round out the offensive quartet. If Booth's injury keeps him out, Tom Parkinson will not weaken the combination much. MANY STARS TODAY. In the line will be Andy Cutler, the old reliable, at center; Roberts, who fc looking like All-American stuff, and the peppery Fox at guards; Bill Kern and Ches Wafmuth, a great pair of tackles, and "Honey" Guarino and Joe Donchess, fine ends. Carnegie will counter with Howard Harps ter, as cool and accomplished a quarter as any school can boast; Letzelter, who has won his spurs at fullback in a dozen hard games; Wer-tenberger, for interference and defense, and "Red" Kennedy for the running fireworks, in the backfield.

The Tartan line will show gigantic Saul Meilziner at center; Capt. Purl Anderson and Cowan, a wonderful brace of guards; Schmidt and Love-well, the new tackles, and English and Sweet at the ends. It was assured last night that Kennedy would get the call at left halfback for the Plaid, but that Cooper, whose injury held him out of the W. J. game, will not be available.

The return of the latter would have added worlds of strength to the Carnegie defense for he is one of last year's veteran stars. Pitt will likely stand pat on the Bneup that opposed Drake, with the exception that Booth's injury may prevent him from seeing any service at all-Trie freshmen teams of the two schools will come together in the preliminary at 12:30, and this game itself should be well worth an early visit to the staduim.

Some were Pitt adherents, and others held allegiance to Tech. Even the Tech backers didn't predict a win for the Plaid, but estimates of the scare in Pitt's favor ran like this: 7 to 0, 7 to 6, 14 to 0, 14 to 6, 14 to 7, 20 to 0, 20 to 6, 21 to 7, 27 to 6, 21 to 14, 21 to 7, 32 to 0, 21 to 14, 42 to 0.

An Arbor, Oct. 22. Tne largest crowd that ever watched a football game here loomed for the opening kickoff of the Ohio State-Michigan today. In addition to its importance in determining the Bib 10 conference championship, the contest was to dedicate the new stadium at Perry field. Coaches of both teams planned several radical changes in the starting lineups.

The left side of the Ohio line received a severe jolting during the week, and Coach Jack Wilce indicated that Albert, Nesser and Moler would replace Robin BeU, Uridil and Cox. SMARTING UNDER DEFEAT. The Buckeyes were stffl smarting over the defeat by Northwestern last Saturday and hoped to avenge the 17-16 defeat they suffered at Michigan's hands at Columbus last year. The strongest player on the Ohio lineup, however, win undoubtedly be the stadium dedication, jinx, which has become recognized in football as an evil omen. Weiman's squad was disposed to laugh at the "jinx" and avow that now was as good a time as any far a major football team took break precedent and win the opening game on a new field.

A decided change in the entire forward wan in comparison to last week's lineup against Notre Dame has been brought about. Bagdanovitch, a crew man, and Havens, win supplant big Tom Wilson and Giese in the tackle positions. Wood has taken Hardin's place in the center of the line, while Beans win be on the left wing in place of Ted SIbane, the former Drake star, with Moret holding down the other flank.

Plashing a Notre Dame passing attack, Duquesne yesterday defeated Thiel with a last minute touchdown to win, 8-7. A crowd of 2,000 which saw a dull game for three periods was thrilled considerably by the sparkling exhibition in the last few minutes.

Only a few minutes remained in the final quarter when Benedict tossed a pass after Murphy had received Berkman's kick and was downed on his own 35. Benedict's throw, inaugurating a series of passes which followed, was caught by Todd for a 15-yard gain- Then Benedict became receiver and nabbed a pass from Murphy for a 25-yard advance. Another long pass left Murphy's hand but this time Benedict received it and fell over the line. Thiel nearly scoir the first period, when a fumbi iry the Dukes was retrieved on the tatter's 32-yard line, but, undaunted by the misfortune and two forward passes. Duquesne held the Greenville eleven for downs on the three-yard line.

Redeeming themselves in the third period, Thiel opened another passing onslaught and scored on a pass Berk-man to Schillings. Duquesne tallied first, in the second quarter, thanks to a beautiful kick by DoneHi to the four-yard line of Thiel where Dufford downed it. Berkman fell on a bad pass behind the Duke goal for a safety on the next play. Lineup Dnquesne 8 "Thiel 7. I fiord BlistPti Packard Zundel DufTord .1.

St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 22. Max Freiburg, of Pittsburgh, was among those named in a deposition of bookmakers filed here in connection with the suit of Prank L. Moore, Kentucky betting commissioner for $92,000 against Rogers Horxisby, New York baseball star.

Other bets which Moore alleges in his sxjit were placed in Cincinnati according to the deposition. Moore alleges that Hornsby wagered $1,000 a day on horse races frequently and lost more often than he won. The money was bet by Moore for Homsby with the aid of three telephones instaUed in Homsby's St. Louis home. It was the habit of Hornsby, according to Moore, to talk with him on the telephone, receive "tips" and odds on horse races and then place odds on horse races and Moore would remit the winnings or collect the amount bet later.

The total amount of the suit represents money Hornsby was alleged to have bet but never paid, plus unpaid commissions. GOPHERS IN TRIM FOR IOWA CONTEST By United Press. Minneapolis, Mhm, Oct. 22.

Vmm THE EXCLUSIVE story in The Press the other day that Pitt and Notre Dame would resume football relations in 1929, confirmed yesterday by Panther officials, was good news to local gridiron followers. THEY ARE hopeful that the addition of Pitt to the Fighting Irish schedule will not interfere with the present contract between the South Benders and Carnegie Tech, for it is a fact that Pittsburghers cannot see too much of the famed Rockne men.

is no sxoppmg it. lireak right at the outset, it may throw the whole works out of gear, and result in one of the season's biggest up-sets A SCORING BREAK for Tech in the first few minutes, even on a fluke, might ohange the attitude of both teams, and give the fans a jolt the like of which they have not experienced for a long time. BUT, AFTER all, Pitt figures to win by at least two touchdowns. The 32 points registered against Drake last week is the smallest score the Suther-Landers have made this year. WHEN ROCKNE advances a man to his varsity, it is only after the latter has proved himself in some less famous combination.

Makine the "big" team is the ambition of every wic uuubuuuo. as a consequence, Rockne always has candidates galore. Even his worst seasons are not bad. He has a team which may be a bit off-color occasionally, but he very, very seldom has one that does not make a creditable showing. SO PITTSBURGHERS are already assured that it will be a great Notre Dame team that win play Pitt in 1929 and 1930, just as it wul be a great Irish eleven that win meet Tech there next year.

knows the game. But apparently he cannot get the forward line to function, as it stffl plays amateur hockey. If it was not for Worters in goal, the scores of most of the games would- resemble footbaU scores, with Pittsburgh on the small end. Cleg-horn is from the land of hockey players, and surely knows the coming stars of the sport. How about some from Port Arthur or Port William?" a Eee NOTRE DAME officials have stated i that they wUl probably not make two trips to this city in the same year, but that does not necessarily mean that they will not meet both Pitt and Tech in the same season.

ROCKNE IS like all other coaches, he has big years and others not so big. That depends on the material. But he is extremely fortunate in always having better material than many of his rivals. That is all part of the wonderful Notre Dame system, which seeks to interest every student in athletics, and which provides for more football teams in action each season than probably any other school in the country. Thinks Local Hockey Team Weak H.

H. LEWIS writes a long letter to the sporting editor, in which he airs his views on the recent world series, and says that the outcome was no surprise to him. He then transfers his thoughts to hockey, and pays his respects to the local situation as follows: "HOCKEY" WILL soon be started here, I read a short time ago that the Pittsburgh team was expected to put the same lineup as last year on the ice. If so, they will finish even lower than they did last year: It seems to me Odie Cleghorn must be handicapped in his efforts to get players. HAVE played professional hockey against Odie, and he certainly tCaaisaned.
