Fan Takes the Witness Stand Today! By CHESTER L. SMITH. Sports Editor Wins Thrill Packed Tilt Defeat Puts Pittsburghers Three Points Back of Syracuse I yf I yy yV' vy, JS jfc yy I DEAR SIR: I read your article on Marshall Goldberg of Pitt, but I am wondering if you ever heard of a fellow named George Matsik who plays for Duquesne. To me, Matsik so far overshadows Goldberg that the latter would have a hard time making the same The Sad Story banned Minnesota. Nor when Stanford played Columbia.

If those who pay money to sit in Tasadena's saucer down in Aroya Seco, New Year's Day, are treated to a good football game. Washington's choice will be fully justified. How About 'Coal Bowl' I team. Let us wait and see what Go'd-berg can do before plastering him as another Red Grange. Did you ever ree Grancre play at Illinois, or was your first glance at him when he played a profesional game at Forbes Field quite a few years ago? You're pretty close to the Duquesne campus, so take a run up there some time and take a look at the best backfield man in Pittsburgh for the last 15 years.

Be careful, though, lest you give him credit. Get bark in step, have your glasses changed for next year and then be fair. J. C. EDWARDS.

Awl in reply: No -light to fast, slippery, personable George Mitsik of Duquesne was the story on fast, F-ipprry, personable Marshall Gciribrrg of Pitt, fully worthy to run in a backfield with Matsik er anyone rise. The article in question said that Goldberg as a sophomore had come close to equaling Grange's record as a rophemere. Number of college games in whirh this reporter watched the remarkable Grange five. V.r was a complete flop In the professional game mentioned. Fair-minded Duqu-sne fans will applaud, not belittle, Geltlbersr, as fair-minded I'itt men will appreciate Matsik's extraordinary ball-carrying, there bring plenty of room for both.

A visit to the Dukes' campus will Indeed reveal the greatest back in Pittsburgh tut his name will be Brumbaugh. In conclusion, the reporter had his eyes tested Nov. 22. Report: You do not need glasses. He Has It Figured DEAR SIR: To some of you fellows who can't figure Fitt in the Rose Bowl: The only team to beat Washington was Minnesota; the only team to beat Minnesota was Northewstern; the only team to beat Northwt item was Notre Dame; Pitt defeated Notre Dame.

26 to the only other team to give. Minnesota a scare was Nebraska; Pitt defeated Nebraska, 19 to 6. The Rose Bowl was built in California where the winner of the Pacific Coast championship could meet the team of its choice. The Sugar Bowl was built by the late Huey Long so his Louisiana State eleven could play the team of its choice. After all, it's the Rose Bowl's party, and if you have not been Invited, why not take inventory? H.

G. FELIX, Anahuac, Tex. and in reply: Net contending that Pitt's right to be invited to Tasadena cculd be maintained if the game were based on a desire to play a national championship, this department believes that if it was Washington's desire to call for an Eastern opponent, the Tanthers' right is as good as anyone's. It might be well to check back into the records and see hew many Rose Bowl games determined the American collegiate title. Certainly, not in the last two seasons when that honor went rightfully to Bowl- Wanted: Taller Cagers By Tartans, Panthers Lack of Height Major Factor in Defeats Suffered try Pitt In Midwest Invasion Also Tech in Opener; Dukes Inaugurate Campaign Thursday D' EAR SIR: I am at a loss to understand why our own Pittsburgh has been passed up in the way of a "bowl" game.

It is true that we have been honored by our teams being invited to participate in the various postseason games, but why not have the attraction here in "Pittsburgh and call it the Coal Bowl or the Iron Bowl? Why not get together and reap the profits at home? By doing thus we will save our own champions from traveling all over the country to meet in just another football game. JAMES S. BOUCHER. and in reply: Necessarily played long after the close of the regular season, Pittsburgh universities can be pirdcned for shunning a "bowl" game of their own for fear it would turn out to be an "Ice Bowl." Much Ado About Nothing D' EAR SIR: Can you tell me whv Fordham plays all its games at home? It seems to me that they take an unfair advantage of their opponents' by this arrangement. Surely it is an advantage to play before a friendly crowd, to have a fulweek's practice and not have to travel long distances.

Can you tell em why Johnny Wood was not given a chance to play more for Pitt? From where I sat, he appeared to be the equal of any of the Pitt backs, but he was only inserted in the lineup in the last few minutes. I believe I saw in your paper a reply to a reader's question in which you stated that Coach Lay-den of Notre Dame did not lay a hand on an official in the Pitt-Notre Dame game. You must have been blind, as we all saw him grab an official. It would appear to me that Pitt and the sports writers tried everything they could to hush up the matter. Why? M.

H. RITCHEY. and in reply: Should any school desire to book none but home games, and its opponents agree, any advantage accruing through playing always on familiar turf must be understood and accepted beforehand by both parties In his sophomore year. Halfback Johnny Wood, one of the best at Pitt, sustained a shoulder injury which makes it impossible for him to remain long on the field at any one time. Newspapers accepted the details of the "Layden Incident" as they were described by officials; refused to make great ado about it beranse they thought readers were more interested the game than in a quickly-passing show of temper bv an individual on the sideline.

A red hot with anger-swarm of Pittsburgh Hornets was back in town today seething with a demand for revenge against a fighting Rhode Island Red aggregation of icers who last night handed the Keystone Staters a sound 6 to 1 trouncing at Providence.

The defeat left the Hornets three points back of Syracuse, western division leaders. Fists flew throughout most of last night's thriller, a scorching International-American League affair despite the one-sided score, and now the Hornets are looking forward to Wednesday night when they have another date with the boys from Providence. The affair is on the books for Duquesne Gardens. Players paired off several times for altercations all by themselves while the battle became general, involving all members of both clubs, in closing seconds of action. Orlando, Keating Square Off Providence, inspired by a capacity throng of home-town spectators, stepped out into an early lead on a dazzling shot by Jackie Keating in 2:28.

Doggie Kahn made it 2-0 in favor of the Reds five minutes later and this goal was the signal for the first major fist fight. It involved Keating and Jimmie Orlando of the Hornets who squared off near the Providence net and were going at it strong before officials chased them off the ice with majors. The second period had hardly gotten under way before an other skirmish threatened when Hornets swarmed about officials in protest to a decision which ruled out what looked like a goal by Don Deacon. There was plenty of furious action the rest or the way with the Hornets threatening often but missing while the Reds crashed through for repeated scores. Deacon finally registered for Pittsburgh, assisted by R.

Hudson and Starr, after 6:26 in the third. Everybody Misses It The Hornets appeared to have the upper hand in late action until Johnny Gallagher was ruled off the ice after a minor scrape while- a minute later a penalty was called against Deacon to give the Reds another tally. Then, as Pusie registered Providence's final score, Fred Hergert of the Hornets and Jerry Lowery of the Reds tangled in furi-out fistic combat that soon had both teams Hockey Summary YESTERDAY'S RESULTS KASTERX AMATEVR LEAGUE New York 4 Herhev 3 Atlantic itv. 3 Baltimore 1 INTERNATIONAL-AMERICAN I.EAGCE Sprincfield 1 New 1 Providence Pittsburgh 1 Syracuse 3 Philadelphia 3 NATIONAL LEAGUE Vnnn: K- Y.

This question will be answered this week by Charles' Parker. New York World-Telegram football authority, as, in a series of five articles beginning tomorrow, presents the names and contributions of the several coaches meriting consideration for the title of All America coach of 9 Lynn Waldorf 1936. Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern University was last year's All-America coach. In his first year with the Wildcats he converted a hitherto losing Big Ten team into one of the strongest in that sector.

OA Dec. 14 The North Carolina State College athletic council met today to consider a student request for dismissal of Head Football Coach Heartley tHurrk) Anderson. Recommendation to oust the former Notre Dame coach, whose varsity football team won only three of 10 games this fall, was presented to the council nine days ago by a student committee.

Final action was anticipated at today's session, which also was scheduled to include discussion of other athletic contract renewals. Decisions of the athletic council must be ratified by administrative heads of the school. By Chester L. Smith, and Jack Berger b5?

Councilman Thomas Gallegher presented to City Council a resolution authorizing Mayor Cornelius D.

Scully to design and purchase a championship cup, not to exceed $2000 in cost, and directing the Mayor to present it each year to the city championship eleven among the three local schools. Under the terms of Councilman Gallagher's resolution, the championship cup will be held by the winning team one year, but will become the permanent property of the first school to win it three times. Duquesne will become the first keeper of the trophy. The resolution will go to Council's finance committee tomorrow and probably will be passed next week. The trophy, doubtless, will be ready for presentation to the Dukes before they leave for Miami to play in the Orange Bowl game, or immediately upon their return.

The resolution stated the city should take fitting notice of the splendid advertising the three loca1. schools afford by providing the championship emblem. Council several years ago put up a championship cup for which only Pitt and Carnegie Tech battled Pitt eventually retired this trophy by winning it three times. McCarter at Dartmouth HANOVER, N.

1 vs i RESTAURANT I 10VJ OPEN 630 Smilhfield St. I Here's Karkoski, Rox Rooney halfback, going through the St. Rosalia Prep line for a short gain in their sandlot title game at Greenlee Field yesterday. The Rooneys won, 6-0, and regained the title. Rooneys Top Sandlot Grid McKees Rocks Outfit Tops Rosalia Preps, 6 to Packers Whip Boston By PHIL GUNDELFINGER JR.

Back on the district sandlot gridiron throne today after a one-year absence are the Rox Rooneys of McKees Rocks who overpowered the defending champion St. Rosalia Preps of Greenfield in their title game at Greenlee Field yesterday. The score was 6 to 0. A 51-yard dash by Paul Glia-quinta, Rox fullback, in the second quarter provided the only score of the rough game before 3,500 spectators. The game, which was played on a hard and slippery field, was chiefly a punting duel since neither team could exhibit any sustained offensive.

Both had four first downs. The heavier Rooneys had a slight edge in the play to regain the crown which they held for six straight seasons prior to 1935. They completed but one of five passes to the three out of 18 for the Preps. In the first quarter, helped by a weak punt from the foot of Bucky Wagner, the Rooneys drove deep into Prep territory only to have De Coster bat down Karkosi's pass on the three-yard stripe. Midway In the second stanza, the Rooneys started a drive from thir own 21.

Gliaquinta made 15 on a fake reverse. Then he and Hooks Carroll combined to make a first down on the Rox 49. A pass failed and on the next play Gliaquinta broke through right guard and raced down the sidelines 51 yards over the goal line. Kolinsky's placement attempt was low. The Preps came right back and drove down to the Rooney 35 but there wasn't enough time and Fowle's long left-handed passes continued to go astray.

Early in the third quarter Fowle fumbled and when a Prep player kicked the ball out of bounds the Rooneys took the ball on the Prep 28. Eight more yards was all the Rooneys could get however and they lost the ball on downs. The Prep line outplayed the Rooneys in this third quarter for their best showing of the game but it meant little to the team in an offensive way. Maybe it because they wore basketball shoes which the Rox team had worn since the opening whistle and which proved helpful on the hard, slippery surface. But renewed power in the Rooney line in the fourth period and a second pass interception by Durzo, chunky Rooney center, closed down on any possible Prep rally.

So fast was the Rooney line charging in this period that Fowle was thrice thrown for a loss within his own 15. Position ROX ROOXEY ST. ROSALIA LK Zyroll B.1 L.T.

Special to The Pittsburgh Press NASSAU, Bahamas, Dec: 4 Wee Willie MacFarlane sub-par 132 for 36 holes today had advanced the flashy Hollywood, shotmaker into first place at the end of 54 holes of the $4000 Nassau Open. MacFarlane equaled par with 68 on his first time around, Tech has played, the Tartans also losing, the crying need for a tall boy to jump center was as apparent as the nose on Jimmy Durante's face.

Pitt gathered its forces for a drive on Butler University in Indianapolis this evening in an attempt to record its first victory of the present three-game surge through the Mid-West, that already has brought two setbacks. Northwestern turned back the Panthers Friday night, 37 to 28, and DePaul accomplished the same feat at Chicago Saturday night, wresting an overtime thriller, 41 to 37. Waynesburg stifled Carnegie Tech's opener Friday night, 46 to 42, and in Tech's case and that of Sorry, Sir, But We're Sold Out Special to The Pittsburgh Press PASADENA. Dec. 14 Southern California football fans are so peeved at the selection of the University of Pittsburgh as Washington's opponent in the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day that they have bought every ticket in the huge stadium.

The "SRO" sign was hung out on the Tournament of Roses ticket office this morning. Pitt, center trouble proved the major factor in their defeats. Carnegie is seriously handicapped because Hugh James, six-foot seven-hich center, hasn't yet reported and Joe Slaminko, a six-foot five-inch giant, is still nursing football in juries. Joe Garcia is the only experienced big center on the Pitt squad and Dr. Carlson's pre-season fears that if he didn't get a tall fellow soon.

his team would suffer, are coming true. Duquesne begins its brand new season Thursday night on the Bluff, entertaining the excellent creation that Coach Frank Wolf has fash ioned out of the Jackets. Waynes burg has won two out of three games, losing the first cf the season to West Virginia Saturday night, 42 to 35. W. J.

comes down to the Tartan gym Friday night to give the Techs another severe test. Duquesne's football team will continue to drill on the Bluff this week and in case the weather becomes pretty bad, the squad will hustle out to Hunt Armory and work indoors. Friday morning the Hill topper squad will be guests of the Chamber of Commerce at the luncheon honoring its achievement in winning the city football title and will receive the Chamber of Commerce cup. Pitt's complete itinerary for the trek westward to the Rose Bowl game with Washington New Year's Day, shoves the Panthers out of town Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. A party of 60, including 34 players, will travel over the Santa Fe and stop at Albuquerque, N.

for a drill Friday, working at the University of New Mexico field. The Panthers will arrive in San Bernardino, at noon Saturday and go directly to Arrowhead Springs, -where headquarters will be established.
