W'- an fry i-u. s- ry By VOLNEY WALSH A series of 31 games, that wlU keep the club on the jump from March 10 through April 10, has been arranged for the Pirates for their spring exhibition schedule. The program of contests, announced yesterday by Secretary Sam Watters, is one of the most strenuous and ideal in many ways set for a Pittsburgh club in recent years. Of the 31 games, 16 will be against other major league teams.

The other 15 will be against opposition from two Class AA leagues. For the first time, the Pirates will meet no club of lower than Class AA classification next spring. The exhibition season will start In San Francisco, March 10, and close in Louisville, April 10. Then the Pirates will be allowed a day of rest before embarking upon their National League schedule, April 12, probably at Cincinnati. "Three open dates are provided during the exhibition period.

These fall on Mondays and were requested by Manager George Gibson. He will devote those days to correcting mistakes that crop out in the exhibition games. Meet Giants, Cubs, Sox Before the regular season, the Pirates will clash with the Giants three times, Chicago Whitesox five times, and Chicago Cubs eight times. The Cub-Pirates warfare is expected to be particularly attractive since these clubs finished one-two in the National League this year. This series will be an enticing morsel for California fandom.

It also mav serve as a criterion the Pirates' chances to overhaul the Cubs in the 1933 scramble. Following their games in California, the Pirates and Whitesox will move eastward together on a special train. Five stops will be made between California and Kansas City for exhibition games.

Over 2,000 fans crowded into the Armory, lined the sidelines six deep, and almost 1,000 more tried to battle their way in, but failed. It was the final appearance of the Panthers on homesoil this year. The squad departs tor California tonight, where Southern California will be tackled Jan. 2 in the Rose Bowl game. Grads Use Trojan Plays The grads, boasting a galaxy ol former stars, used Southern California formations almost exclusively, and threatened the varsity goal lino only once, but were quickly subdued.

The battle was a thriller from start to finish, and was regulation in every respect, except for 10-minute quarters and a field of 80 yards in length. Neither team could punch across any kind of a score during the first three periods, but just before the third quarter ended, Weisenbaugh, who has supplanted Weinstock as the varsity fullback, intercepted Jim Rooney's forward pass, after one of Rooney's players had touched it. Weisenbaugh Scores The opening play of the final period found Weisenbaugh slicing off his own right tackle and streaking for the sidelines. He eluded two Grads, and Toby Uansa attempted to block him out of bounds, but the Panther runner pivoted and kept going. He crossed the last stripe with nary a soul near him.

Shortness of the field made it imperative that plays crossing the goal line be brought back 10 yards, so as to make it a 100-yard field. But in Weisenbaugh's case, he had outdistanced the defense and would have tallied had he been forced to run 50 more yards. dnder's place kick was just inside the cross-bar for the seventh point. Immediately after the kick-off, following the touchdown, the Alumni began a passing attack, ala Southern California, and two plays Continued on Page 3, This Section Gruber Wages.

The Westerners had been rated as two touchdowns better than the Florida team. Florida scored early in the second quarter after Shearer blocked Live-say's punt and Stark recovered for Florida on the California 2-yard line. Hughes carried the ball to the one-inch line in two tries and Henderson then carried it over. The try for point failed. California scored two points in the third quarter when Coats blocked Henderson's punt behind the goal line and Henderson fell on the ball for a safety.

More than 40 a ppllcat! rns have been received from all parts of the country, but the athletic association was organized. The rensed athletic constitution went into effect this summer.

Under the change, control of athletics was placed in the university and not under a separate Indirect athletic association. The new policy followed a committee report to President James Rowland Angell last spring, urging sweeping athletic changes. Some time ago Dr. Stevens told the athletic association of his desire to give all his time to medical and surgical practice. They faced the problem of securing a new coach without creating the furor that has followed similar announcements at other colleges and it is understood that an agreement has already been reached as to who will be the new coach.

The new football staff is expected to be announced soon, the only delay being the approval of the selection by the board of athletic control. continue i IJ COLLEGE Pitt ..........35 Minnesota ....26 Navy .56 Columbia 31 Western Ohio Wes 34 DePMtw ......34 Cincinnati ..19 Duke 33 G.
