SMITH Sports Editor The label on the medicin Pitt had for the Battling Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan read, "shake well before taking," and the Panthers interpreted it literally. While a surprisingly robust crowd of 20,000 alternately cheered and yawned under a broiling sun that was a throw-back to July at the Stadium yesterday, Dr. Jock Sutherland's latest class in touchdown-ology turned in a 59-0 tally on its first report card for 1937. Dipping but seldom in their resourcessave the fact that not a player on the squad missed being in action at one time or another the white-shirted brigade under Acting Captain Johnny Michelosen scored nine touchdowns, added five more points through the medium of placement tries-for-point and generally conducted themselves with appropriate aplomb. There were the usual errors commission and omission expected in an opening game, but there was also much to keep the crowd on its feet, and when it is considered that that was a stronger Wesleyan squad than came here a year ago to absorb a 53-0 defeat, the result could ing to the supporters of the Panthers.

The majority had come to watch "Mad Marshall" Goldberg launch his second campaign in Gold and Blue, and on the first scrimmage play of the game the scooting hillbilly from Elkins responded by intercepting a forward pass and twisting and racing 55 yards for a touchdown but Goldberg didn't stay on the field a great while and long before the finish, a new name was on everybody's lips. "Dandy Dick" Cassiano, a sophomore from Albany. N. out-Goldberged the "Mad Marshall" himself by scoring no less than four of the nine touchdowns and tossing a pass to John Dickinson, another recruit from the 1936 freshmen, for a fifth. He ran 49 yards in the second quarter after finding an opening, at Wesleyan's left tackle, with Eddie Spotovich blotting out the safety man ten yards from the goal line; he took a pass from Larry Peace of Bradford, likewise a new hand, later in the same period; he cruised 65 yards early in the fourth quarter, and, near the end.

picked off a Wesleyan pass and brought it back 43 yards. In his spare time, "Dandy Dick" arched a 26-yard looping pass to Dickinson. All in alL he was a handy sort of person, and there was much frantic scribbling in scouts' note books as a result, for Master Cassiano gave the appearance of being a young man who not only can pick them up and lay them down, but who can also supply Pitt's long-felt want for a finished instigator of forward passes. His yardage for the day was a neat 225, which would be a good afternoon's work for the entire backfield of not a few teams. However.

Goldberg's initial soiree remained the most polished piec of On Face A VX xx Afl ectioo llliBlHllBI West Virginia New York U.

J. 19 Wisconsin Oberlin NAME 1 In Twin Bill By The United Press CINCINNATI, Sept. 25 Another game was added to the Pittsburgh club's home schedule, thereby creating a double-header for closing day of the National League season, Sunday, Oct. 3, when rain kept the Pirates from getting a crack at the Reds here today. Since the two teams already have a doubleheader set for tomorrow, last day on which the Pirates are to be in Cincinnati this year, they have no alternative but to attempt to play the game in the closing series of the schedule at Pittsburgh.

Secretary Sam Watters of the Pirates said the transferred game will be scheduled to make a d'-iub'e bill on the last day of the campaign unless a protest from some other club against delaying it that long brings a ruling from President Ford Frick of the National League requiring the game to be played on next Friday or Saturday. Had the teams clashed today Jim Tobin would have opposed Paul Derringer on the mound with the Pirates seeking their 12th straight victory over the Reds. Tobin and Derringer both will hold over as pitching choices for Sunday with Southpaws Ed Brandt and Lee Grissom slated to be the other starters. Still in fourth place, the Bucs must put on a sensational finish to land in the third notch. Opening here Tuesday, the Bucs clash with the St.

Louis Cardinals in the first of three single games. By sweeping the series, they may oust the Redbirds from third place and take over the post for themselves. The Reds, their opponents this afternoon, move into Forbes Field next Friday for the final four-game series, to be played as single games Friday and Saturday, with a doubleheader Sunday. Following the windup of the Cincinnati series at Rhineland today, the Bucs catch a return train to Pittsburgh and have tomorrow as an idle day.
