Panthers And Irish Beset By Troubles Pitt Woe Is Injury to Four Stars Notre Dame Has Abie-Bodied Squad But Coaches Lament Lack of Experience for the Big Game at Stadium Tomorrow week, the Nightriders, who ring football in Pittsburgh tonight enough to defeat West Virginia If they've grown cocky, as touted Ohio Staters, they may be- in for an awful letdown. Stranger things have happened. And West Virginia Wesleyan never has been a soft touch for the Dukes. They've met six times in past seasons, each winning three games. Wesleyan, when Coach C.

B. R.oss was a Bobcat halfback, plastered the Dukes, 27-0, in 1922. Duquesne won the 1930 game, 12-7. but Wesleyan posted a 12-0 victory a year later and scored a one-point decision, 7-6, In the 1932 contest. The Dukes came back to win, 25-0, in 1933 and 39-6 in 1934.

It will damage Duquesne's new prestige more to be beaten tonight than to be set down later by Detroit or Marquette. Bobcats' Three Threats The Bobcats will show plenty of threats. In Leonard (Bull Barnum. triple-threat fullback; Shatter Peterson, left halfback, and Bud Parker, diminutive end, the Bobcats have three talented scoring threats. West Virginia Wesleyan has a big, hard-charging line, averaging 185 pounds, the same as Duquesne's.

They also have a two-pound edge in the starting backfields. Coach Ross planned to start Oatskie tackles- Ooorlvrin anri Hall guards; Aloore. center; LaBay, quarterback; Peterson and Bachtel, halves, and Barnum, fullback. The Dukes forward wall will be the same heroic septet that played havoc with Pitt but the backfield will be greatly revamped to cover up several injuries. Matsik, Karrs, Vairo Out Coach Clipper Smith nominated Platukis and Hefferle for the wing posts; Critchfield and Maras, tackles; Perko and Barko, guards; Captain Mike Basrak, center; Zop-petti.

SMITH Ports Editor is a fine football team," the wise heads said of Pitt before the game. But the Dukes had a iHtle too much for the Panthrrs that day. However, an eleven h1 displayed the power and tpnan tho 0 uuiti lmiarrs showed a a inst Ohio 1 ey a West Virginia and Ohio State cannot be a lightly, no matter what may have occurred in the 1 rvening week.

Notre Dame comes in a 0 Smith a young team, starless as compared -with 1935 and other years, but undefeated, which means there is spirit, cohesion and a deal of native ability. There is no reason to think that this is not a typical Rambler eleven, -which will attack Pitt's tackles viciously, try to find escape around the flanks and not be hesitant about throwing the deep passes which hark back to Rockne's day. The Panthers, on the other hand, have Old Man Psycholocy, the gentleman who turned against them last week, as an ally. Sometimes, he can do wonders, especially when he ha.s some Goldbergs and Patricks, Daddios and Matisis, Daniells and Glassfords with whom to work. If ever Pitt was tops, it should be tomorrow.

Physically, they mav not be so well off; mentally, at their best. On this premise cast a vote for the Panthers. A It i I TECH HOLY CROSS Seventeen times in succession the Cross has taken the field and come away unscathed, all save a tie with Manhattan last year. Dartmouth is numbered among its victims this season, even though the Hanover Indians held every advantage but the score at the finish. But Tech is coming along nicely, as Temple will vouchsafe.

The Tartans have the weight in the line to stand off the Crusader bucks and slants, but there is danger that passes will spread the defense. Still, we fancy the Skibos in this assignment. DUQUESNE W. VA. WES- LE VAN (Tonight The Bobcats should be an ideal opponent on which the Dukes can wear off the excitement of beating Pitt, without being in any particular danger themselves.

A vote for the man who booked the game. PENN STATE-CORNELL The dark clouds are disappearing over Lake Cayuga. The Big Red team in the white jerseys Ls able sit up and take nourishment. Last Saturday she defeated Syracuse for her first major victory since 1934. Tomorrow it will be No.

2. FORDIIAM-ST. MARY'S Two circumstances mitigate against the Galloping Gaels: they stopped galloping last Sunday when San Francisco U. held them to a tie, and since they have been traveling across the continent. Neither will do them any great pood.

The fact that Fordham was able to ease tip with Waynesburg should more than counterbalance the resourcefulness of the eleven coached by the famed Slip Madigan. and give the Rams the working margin they need to win by a tight squeak. DARTMOUTH HARVARD A battle royal in the apple pie-for-breakfast league, with the Hanoverian Redskins carrying the scalping knives and John Harvard dressed for the massacre. )(e MINNESOTA PURDUE The ghosts of a 20-game winning streak are closing in on the Gophers. One of these days they'll come to land's end and it may be tomorrow against Purdue, or a week later when Northwestern appears.

I'd go for the Boilermakers except for the fact that the game is in Minneapolis. But. if Minnesota gets past this one, give me the Wildcats. sfe ift MARQUETTE MICHIG A STATE Ray Buvuid will toss a pas or two enough to set down the Spartans for the first time this autumn. COLUMBIA-MICHIGAN Lions are the more versatile and can strike from many directions.

It will have to be by speed, however, for the weight will be on the Wolverines. OHIO STATE-INDIANA If the Buckeves will stop fighting among themselves long enough to fight the Hoosiers, they can pull this one out of the coals. PRINCETON NAVY This doesn't appear to be the Miaaies year Thev are stumbling and fumbiing too often. PTinceton will Ce alive after the defeat by Perm. Old Nassau is awarded the due.

DUKE-TENNESSEE The Duse regulars have their eyes on the Rose Bowl, and no Volunteers Continued on Fage 43 If Pitt can gather up enough uninjured football players, and if Notre Dame can assemble 11 athletes who have played the grid game before, the Golden Panthers and the Fighting Irish will scrimmage each other before about 75,000 persons tomorrow afternoon in the Stadium. Forbes Field, will be smart Wesleyan's Bobcats. Pitt did after trouncing the ARTHUR AMANN Krar tops as guard for Dukes. Matsik, who dashed the 71-yard touchdown run that squelched Pitt, John Karrs and Beto Vairo will be kept on the sidelines by injuries. The Dukes can possibly afford to toy with the Bobcats as an un beaten record at stake.

They have hurdled Waynesburg, Rice, Geneva and Pitt, which is fancy hurdling in any league, ro-inon w. VA. WKSI.K.Y proiFxa 1. Pl.mikis 'II. -h lirl.1 a 1.

'compete because of the rain, i I A banquet and gala celebration fol- lowed. Backs! Well We Only Used 22 Last Week; And We Got More By IRISH I7.E You've heard of free wheeling, knee action, stream-lined and other such selling points in automobiles, haven't vou? Well, don't think the motor companies started those fashions.

They originated at Notre Dame, where they are the qualities of our backs. There are a few auto factories around South Bend, and naturally they were quick to copy the stuff our halfbacks showed. Don't ask me to name all of our stream-lined, free wheeling ball-carriers. It is enough to say that Robert Edward Wilke. Jack Gregory McCarthy, Joseph Thomas Oleason, George John Kovalcik (who is a Donora boy), Victor Joseph Wojcihovski, Herman Joseph Burnell, Laurence Edwin Danbom, Stephen Christian Miller and Mario George Tonelli have these qualities.

They will be in the Stadium Saturday to give demonstration runs for the edification of some Titt Panthers and about 75,000 fans. After seeing these fellows go, imagine the business the auto dealers around here will do. We let our quarterbacks do plenty of free wheeling. They get up speed, then wheel over the opposing ends and halfbacks to make room for the stream lined, knee action boys. Our free-wheelers include Andrew Joseph Tuplis, Joseph Hubert.

Ruetz and Charles William O'Reilly, to name a few. How many backs do you think we used last week in our test runs against Wisconsin? Get a hold of your seats, now 22. That isn't all we have, of course, but that was all we had time to use in 60 minutes. Don't kid yourself anv longer. Face the facts.

It sure looks bad for the Panthers, doesn't it? 0jem Qiyen Squad Vote Football Team Expresses Confidence in Grid M.entor By The United rrcss IOWA CITY, Oct. 23 Members of the University of Iowa football team today were reported to have given their coach, Ossie Solem, a vote ot confidence. Solem has been criticized loudly both by alumni and students for failing to produce a winnirg team. The squad met with the coaching staff in Memorial Union last night. The meeting was secret but reports trickled out that the players promised to give their best for-the remainder of the season.

The next game is against Indiana Oct. 31. Since the criticism against Solem was brought to light, the squad has shown considerably more fight in practice. Prof. C.

L. Updegraff. chairman of the Iowa Athletic Board, said that no reports of alumni dissatisfaction have leached the board officially. Tourney Halts FORT WORTH, Oct. 23 The semi-final matches of the Texas Women's Open Golf Tourna- ment were postponed today because ot ram.

Just Listen! Our Hit-and-Run Game Will Ruin Those Streamliners By TITT (Frank Buck) PANTHER This is my last chance to bring Titt back alive. It's my last chance because this is the final article on the series. And this is Notre Dame's last trip here to meet Pitt. The contracts expire next fall at South Bend, just like those Irish will expire tomorrow- in the Stadium. I probably have gone overboard on our linemen but I've been waiting all week until time to discuss the backs that Jock has.

Gosh, everyone a potential all-American, too. Michelosen, Greene and Chickerneo what quarterbacks and what blockers. They rub out the ends just like an eraser. The halfbacks (now I'm getting interested) Goldberg, LaRue, Steb-bins, Malarkey, Wood. Aw, I better stop.

The Notre Dames might not want to show up. After those babies get through running up and down the field, our track coach, Carl Olsen, will probably want them to come out for the dash events. And I haven't mentioned those crushing, rushing, brushing fullbacks, Patrick and Stapulis. This week they've been hitting the freshmen line with so much power the assistant managers had to spend all their time picking up the poor kids. Our halfbacks have been told only one thing all week run, run and run.

The fullbacks have been warned to hit, and hit hard, and the quarterbacks are going to do some tall blocking. In fact the team has been drilled all week with only one idea in mind Beat Notre Dame! I don't want to be one of those I-told-you-so guys, but you'll be hanging around me Monday trying to get my autograph. Sutherland, who has been considering the starting of Raskowski and Lezouski at the guards, Hoffman at end, Chickerneo at quarterback and Stebbins at right half, along with Daddio and Goldberg, who have occupied regular positions since the opening game. The probable Pitt lineup will have Daddio and Hoffman at the wings; Matisi and Daniell, tackles; Raskowski and Lezousky, guards; Adams, center; Chickerneo. quarter; Goldberg and Stebbins, halves, and Stapulis, fullback.

The Notre Dame lineup probably will be O'Neill and Zwers, ends; Steinkemper and Cronin, tackles; Captain John Lautar and Kuharich, guards; Mundee, center; Puplis, quarter; Wilke and Wojcihovski, halves, and Danbom, fullback. CLAIRE BURCKY. IAST LEATHER WORKMANSHIP Darrell to Head By The United. Press COLUMBUS, Oct. 23 Lou Darrell, Los Angeles wrestling promoter, today was named as president of the International Athletic Promoters, an organization incorporated for $50,000.

Ray Fabiana, Philadelphia, was chosen vice president; Ed White, Chicago, secretary, and Al Haft, Columbus, treasurer. The organization is a co-operative which plans to bring wrestlers from foreign countries to the United States, and send matmen abroad in exchange.

Reproduced Cg5 by Kegal STYII FINISH STYLE FOR EVERY OCCASION HOE! i On one side there is a tragedy of injured stars. On the other, the lament is over the lack of experience. But despite this sad state of affairs, Pitt and Notre Dame will square off in their annual grid battle tomorrow. The Irish reached town this morning, numbering in their party 35 players, a staff of coaches and handlers headed by Elmer Layden, and 12 newspaper men. They moved immediately to Shady Side Academy above Aspinwall where they louneed.

lunched and went through an hour WOrkout on the Shady Side gridiron. They were to sleep there tonight and move into the Stadium behind a motorcycle escort early to- morrow afternoon. Coach Layden explained: "We've been lucky so far this season. Our boys, lacking experience, have made many mistakes. Fortunately, none has cast us heavily and we have been able to win in spite of the errors.

Physically, the squad is in good shape." At Pitt, tragic notes were sounded on Bobby LaRue, Biff Glassford, Paul Shaw and Rrank Souchak. All are injured. All will be riding the bench at the opening kickoff, it is said. For the second time in the history of the stadium. Notre Dame and the Golden Panthers will cram it to the utmost.

In 1930, when Rockne had his last Fighting Irish aggregation, Pitt and Notre Darae played to something over 74.000 persons. It was a Notre Dame triumph by a 35-19 score, with Schwartz, Carideo, Savoldi, Metzger, Brill and Mullins in starring roles. Ticket sales on tomorrow's clash were stopped early last week with every available pasteboard bought up. Although the National championship angle in this game has been exploded so far as the Panthers are concerned, the unbeaten Irish are still ver- much in the picture. They have taken over Carnegie Tech, Washington University, of St.

Louis, and Wisconsin on successive weekends. There is the possibility that Pitt may nominate seven sophomores in the starting lineup. This has been indicated all week bv Dr. Jock Fake Tickets Out For Stadium Game Fake tickets for the Pitt-Notre Dame football game at the Pitt Stadium tomorrow have flooded the city, according' to police, and Pittsburgh football fans are warned to beware of purchasing the counterfeit ducats. The regular supply of tickets at the Pitt ticket office was exhausted more than a week ago.
