When a team feels that way about it, it can be as contrary as all get-out and 'as ornery as a Texas pony. Much more so than if it entertains the idea that it can win and goes about the job cautiously. 1 By LESTER BIEDERMAN Duquesne is ready. Waynesburg is set and so tonight the season's first collegiate football game in the district is to unfold under the lights at Forbes Field, beginning at 8:30 o'clock.

That the Hilltoppers are heavy favorites to win is not denied, but the Yellow Jackets promise to give the Dukes just as stiff a battle as was the case last fall when the Bluffites emerged with a shaky 14 to 0 tri- umph. stiX -it swell c-i "glbr-. 1 BWMMY IS OF- THE HARDEST RONWlMG BACKS lU jfi 1 DUQUESNE: HISTORY-ANO IS OUT THIS YEAR.

Coach George Gauthier experimented with a youthful aggregation last fall at Wesleyan and after the Panther debacle used an almost entire sophomore array. He figures the year's experience may help to keep the score down. Dr.

Coach Frank Wolf said he would counter with six seniors, three juniors, a sophomore and a freshman.

The Dukes will begin with Pla-tukis and Serangelli, at the flanks; Maras and Critchfield, tackles; Bar-ko and Amann, guards, and Ted Grabinski, center. Frank Zoppetti is the quarterback, Brumbaugh and Matsik or McKeeta, halfbacks, and Karrs, fullback. The Waynesburgers will show Markovina and Senior at the ends; Hoffman and Cummins, tackles; Ronco and Harshman, guards, and Avery, center.

There they won, 13 to 12, over Mississippi State and rated high on the national scene. The Dukes expect to have as good a team as last fall, but the big question mark right now appears to be at center. Grabinski must fill the very capable shoes of AU-American Mike Basrak, but is feared that inexperience will take charge until Teddy acclimates himself.

Boyd Brumbaugh gives the Dukes an edge over practically any team on the schedule and the great halfback should spell the difference between victory and defeat in a lot of games. The Jackets can be counted upon to give the Dukes a battle for the full 60 minutes. Paul Avery, the center, was in rare form here last fall and dished out to Basrak the toughest competition Mike got all season long. The kickoff is listed at 8:30 o'clock.

That would be asking a little too much, although evory so often something like that happens to unnerve the non-believers in miracles and witchdoctors. For instance, the Dukes" unhappy night with West Virginia. last fall. But Troy fell but once in many centuries, and Rome doesn't burn every autumn, so Waynesburg probably feeis that it's pretty much of a lost cause this trip.

And having got itself in that frame of mind, he is almost certain to play the game along the lines that are the age-old formula for men who are going out to die and are determined to raise hell in the process. The Jackets aren't the weakest minor college opponent the Dukes could have found. Not by any means. They'll have their moments and they won't leave anything undone to provide the ultimate in embarrassment for their more gifted adversaries. A Smith Warning Mr.

Clipper Smith, the admirable coach on the Bluff, has been talking himself into a mild state of hysteria all week long in the hope that one or two of his words might sink in. Up to now he reports no progress. The Clipper's argument, sound enough and conceived only after some years of dipping into the bitter as well as the sweet, runs something in this wise: "You can win, but don't be careless. We haven't time for that. Wesleyan comes next week and then Pitt, and if you think they all won't be aiming our way, you've got some long hours ahead to spend holding your hrads and wondering who threw that rock." When last Mr.

Smith was filling a wastebasket with the contents of the upper righthand drawer of his "They're the scout reports on past Waynesburg teams," he explained. It didn't add up. There seemed to be no sense in deliberately destroying the evidence before the trial, but Mr. Smith shook his head in abject resignation to a sad state of affairs. "These are worth about as much as last week's weather predictions," he declared.

"That fellow Frank Wolf at Waynesburg believes in mixing them up and scattering his punches. Or per SMITH. SporU Editor haps it would be better to say he comes at you from all directions. We'll have to wait to see what he has cooked up for this one." There was no escaping the man logic. Mr.

Wolf is a grownup Penn State boy who operates on the theory that nothing in football is patented and that if he can snag a good play from Texas Christian or a Santa Clara shortside buck, nothing will suffer except the opposition. He is apt to show you a tail back, a single wing or a Bezdek box formation. His ends may shuttle or not. depending entirely on what he happens to find on the backs of the envelopes he carries in his inside coat pocket. Jackets Can Buzz The Jackets will pass anywhere, kick on the slightest provocation or spread across the field like a lot of Scotchmen hunting a dime.

It is all quite confusing and at this time of year, not as effective as it will be later on when the lads have their assignments more deeply lodged in their minds, but it is alluring to the customers and always dangerous. A few years ago, Mr. Wolf took his team to State College and gave the old alma mater a painful thumping. It was Waynes-burg's biggest moment and although there were extenuating circumstances in that the Lions were far from being their robust selves at the time, it counted in the score just the same. No matter what the Dukes do or how they do it.

the majority of the onlookers will be measuring them for the Pitt game which is so close at hand. This latter engagement should come close to being the fiercest local fight of the year, what with the urge being so great on both sides. The first thing Duquesne followers will want to know is how the varsity stacks up without Mike Basrak, the Hilltop's first Ail-American and as gallant a center as there was to be found the 1936 campaign. That Clipper Smith has been able to fill the void entirely is hardly possible. They don't come like Iron Mike every year.

But there may be adidtional strength elsewhere that will level the scales. Otherwise. the Brumbaughs, Matsiks, Platukas and Maras make the Red and Blue a sure shot to go places in a gaudy way. program have Geneva tackling; handed them at Morgantown last fall. Indiana Teachers start the season by opposing the Clarion pedagogues at Indiana, while Slippery Rock Teachers tackle West Chester Teachers at West Chester.

The Red Men from Indiana will be favored over Clarion while the other game appears almost a toss-up with the Rockets apt to give a good account of themselves because of plentiful material.

HE SAWS STRAIGHT TO THE LINE VNXVNXXXXVNXNXXXVXXXXXXNNN Harvard Cup Finals Todav By HARRY J. WALD George Soisson, top-seeded University School star, and Jack South-worth, Mt. Lebanon's second seeded contender, battle it out this afternoon for the Harvard Cup In-terscholastic Tennis championship of Allegheny County. Today's final contest, booked for the University Club layout, brings to a close the fifteenth annual race for the famous trophy, competition having been staged at Frick Park, Shady Side Academy, and Arnold School since Monday.

Soisson flashed his best tennis to overwhelm Bill Kirkpatrick, Arnold School, 6-0, 6-0, on the latter's home courts yesterday. Southworth had to come from behind to edge out Bob Clark, Shady Side, in a three set struggle, 1-6, 6-2, 7-5. The slim Mt. Lebanon youngster rallied in fine fashion to even the match after dropping a one-sided first set. He trailed in the third set, 4-5, with Clark's service coming up, but came through once more to sweep three games for the decision.

Soisson, more experienced and stronger than 15-year-old Jackie, was favored to take the title this afternoon. This evening the remaining semifinal doubles match in the Stanton Heights invitation tourney will be played on the hilltop site. Dr. Dave O'Loughlin and McCook Reed meet Dr. John O'Loughlin and John Brown for the right to face top- seeded Bob Madden and Bob Lam pus in the final tomorrow.

In the singles division, semi-final contests are slated for tomorrow when Dave O'Loughlin faces Frank Broida, and John O'Loughlin tries conclusions with Bob Madden.

On their return here, the Tray-nor athletes go against the St. Louis Cardinals in single games next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, then clash with the Reds in single games over the last three days of the schedule. Bill McKechnie's Boston Bees swiped the series from the Bucs yesterday, two games to one, and gained an even break for the year at 11 triumphs apiece. Jim Turner pitched his 19th victory of the campaign as the Bees took the verdict, 2-1. Blanton Is Victim Cy Blanton was Turner's victim, the Oklahoma redhead losing his 11th decision.

Turner had the advantage of several lucky breaks. His support, not only was perfect, but on the sensational side. Line drives off Pirate bats were turned into putouts, instead of base hits. A perfect throw to third by Gene Moore caught the fleet Paul Waner and snuffed out a certain Pirate tally. Spectacular fielding in the off Turner, enough to win but for the fact that six men were left stranded on bases.

The Bees got only eight off Blanton. but scored a run every time they bunched two bingles in an" inning. With one out in the Bee fourth. Elbie Fletcher singled to left and scored on Reis' double. In the Pirate half of the inning, P.

Waner singled with one out and Vaughan rifled a single to right. Waner tried to make third but was snuffed out by Moore's perfect shot to English. One was out in the sixth when Cuccinello crashed a line drive to left for two bases. Jensen came in for it, stopped to field it on the first bounce, then saw the ball bounce over his head and roll to the corner of left field. Cuccinnello scored a moment later on Warst-ler's single to center.

Four Hits One Run Four Pirate hits were massed in the last of the seventh, but the result was only one run. P. Waner opened with a single to right and I Vaughan poked a hit to center, which Waner rode to second. Suhr laid down a bunt so -perfect he was able to beat it out, filling the bases. Todd lined to Moore and P.

Waner scored and Vaughan went to third after the catch. Brubaker's smash was stabbed by Turner and Vaughan was trapped and run down. Young then slashed a single through the box, but Cuccinello went back of second and fielded it, throwing to English to retire Suhr, who had overrun third. John Heydler, former National League president who currently serves as chairman of the league's Board of Directors, was a press box visitor yesterday. Mr.

Heydler has been visiting his niece, Mrs. Albert Weingard of Butler, who has been critically ill in Oil City hospital. Blanton went out in the eighth for Pinch-hitter Red Lucas, who grounded to Cuccinello. Big Jim Weaver finished out the last inning without giving a hit.

The Covenanters will make their bow under the tutelage of Ed "Smiley" Weltner of Akron, and they'll be favored to take over the Lock Haven team.

It's the only game in the schedule outside teachers college ranks for the upstate eleven which won the 1936 state teachers' title and they'll be facing a team strongly reinforced over 1936. St. Vincent also figures to win in its home opener under the lights of Bearcat Stadium. The Edwards team has been practicing for over a month and it should have too much power for the Pioneers from West Virginia. As mentioned elsewhere, Waynesburg, another district Class team, will open the campaign by meeting Duquesne at Forbes Field tonight.

Outstanding in tomorrow's bill is the engagement between West Virginia Wesleyan and West Virginia at Buckhannon. The Bobcats, 1936 Class champions, will be out to avenge a 15-0 licking Turner Again! BOSTON" r3rm. If Knglish, Miiurf. rf 'iicctnMo. -b K.
