game last fall at Forbes Field. Andy Farkas, Detroit's great little back, produced that solitary marker and at that it came via end run. But it still is chalked up against the forward wall. Waynesburg, Rice, Geneva and Pitt were held without a score in the first four games of this year and West Virginia Wesleyan became the first school to tally on the Dukes, as well as the first school to whip the Bluffites. That was the safety collected in the first quarter.

Later in that game, Wesleyan had the ball on the Duquesne two-yard stripe, first down. And when fourth down rolled around, Duquesne took possession on the eight! Detroit got two touchdowns to one, but one of them resulted from long forward passes. Tartan Line Tough, Too Carnegie Tech hopes to break that streak Saturday when the two city schools bounce into the Stadium for their annual skirmish. Tech, too, boasts of a powerhouse line, one that has permitted a couple of touchdowns, but one that has yet to watch itself being pushed around. The Tartans will probably ad here to its system in vogue since the Temple game starting one team and at the quarter, sending in another full quota of reserves.

This idea has worked swell and it was the second stringers who nailed Temple for the only touchdown of the game and the second stringers who dealt out the winning touch down against New York U. Carnegie has the greater topflight reserves in the line, but the Dukes can present dangerous extra backs till the cows come home Tech, also, is rich in good backs but the Dukes appear to have a bit more speed in the backfield. Matsik, Vairo Ready Carnegie will have its eyes peeled on Boyd Brumbaugh, the brother of Chet Brumbaugh, himself a great fullback at Tech several years ago. Brumbaugh is one of the standout backs of the East, a power runner and as shifty as Gilda Gray in her palmiest days. "Brummy" also is the passer and punter.

SMITH Sports Editor CHICAGO, Nov. 12 Their noses pointed in the general direction of Lincoln, and a date with the Cornhuskers, Pitt's football forces halted for a day here.

Hardly had they docked at the Windermere Hotel this morning than a cheerful note was prowling the path to the mythical national gridiron title, but lurking ahead are two football foes with revenge in their hearts Michigan and Notre Dame. Sooner or later every team gets a chance to atone for a Pitt victory the kid who carried the ball only once and came with a 71-yard touchdown run will be ready to go again, wearing special brace on his left hand. The Dukes will leave town tomor row morning, drill in private at a secret rendezvous and spend the night away from the city. The game is catching on with the fans and a break in the weather will throw about 40.000 fans into the Stadium to watch a battle that will be fought from the hilt. Nebraskan Denies Texas Coaching Bid Bp The United Press LINCOLN, Nov.

12 Coach X. Bible, University of Nebraska, said today there is nothing to the report he has been offered the job football coach at the University of Texas. "It's all news to me, he said when informed of the report. "I haven't been in communication with anyone regarding the Texas coaching position."

I will be worried until I hear from you, because, while it it almost impossible for you to fall off a subway in New York, it would be almost no trick at all for you to do same off an -L" train.

Please be careful. It is very quiet around home today. The missus is out. She is marching in the Armistice Day parade. As you know she is very patriotic, having knit several Mr.

Smith miles of socks for the soldier boys during the war. I have always had a hunch that it was wearing these socks that slowed up the American army in several major battles, but I have never mentioned this to the missus, who is touchy on the subject and also can hit like hell with both hands, although she favors a left hook. Personally, I am not marching because my uniform is now a hooked rug. But to get around to the subject of football, boss, I hope you did not forget to mail the tickets for the Duquesne-Tech game before you left. You may think you are going to see something out at Nebraska, but I am satisfied to stay here.

I never saw a line that can grab so many legs and hang on as those Techs, nd, if you ask me, I think iSrambaugh and Matsik and Vairo are going to have a long fcfternoon getting through them. Sut I'll tell you one thing the Dukes got a good break when Vairo came back, because he is the best blocker up on the Bluff. And when he is there to knock them over, it is a lot easier for Brumbaugh to get going. Figure This One Out I WAS reading the other day where a big university admitted it cost $48 a month to keep a football player in board and room. If that's the usual scale, I pity the kids.

Where do they keep them? In the poor house? Figure it out for yourself, boss. I don't think anybody could get a decent room anywhere for less tlmn six bucks a week. That adds up to $24 a month, and leaves $24 for the kid to eat on. How would you like to chow for 30 days on $24. Honest, boss, our airedale eats almost that much, and she doesn't have to go out on Saturday afternoons and score touchdowns and bring in a couple hundred thousand bucks at the gate.

Isn't it about time some of these highfalutin' schools took down their hair and came out like men with an idea that would let the boys keep their self respect and at the same time make the colleges look, like something beside petty thieves? I'm not kidding jou, boss, but I know a track man who went to Europe for the A. A. U. and made enough money on expenses to pay his way through college for two years. And they give All-Americans 48 bucks a month.

Roses For Fordham TjERE'S a little tip you can use II sometime if you want to make the readers think you are real smart and in on the know. Marquette isn't going to get the bid to the Rose Bowl, even if it wins the rest of its games and has a clean slate. The Pasadena people are all set to ask Fordham to come out. Of course, Jimmy Crowley has to win his next two with Georgia and New York hut bp nii2htn'f have much trou ble steaming up the kids for those two. All he has to ao is stand back of the enemy goal line and hold up 11 round-trip tickets to California.

The team will tear things apart to get them and the game will be won. The dope I get is that Fordham would make a swell gate attraction because it has the Broadway flavor, while Marquette is away off in Milwaukee. Rams Nobody's Pushover MY own opinion is that Fordham will give anybody on the Coast a sweet afternoon. I'd like to see some of those backs they've got out there take a flyer at the left side of the Fordham line and find that guy Franco and Paquin, the end who plays next to him. as a reception committee.

After it was all over. Franco would hand an empty helmet to the referee and say, "Pardon me, mister, there was something in this a minute ago, but it seems to have disappeared." Ha Ha, boss, that's a good one, eh? I sat up half last night trying to get myself a line on the Nebraska game, but all I got was a visit from the police scout car wanting to know if there were burglars in the house. Believe me, boss, those Panthers can give you the creeps. They can be as hot as a bake oven or as cold as a refrigerator. SYLVAN P.

Simmons, frequently hailed as a "one-man team" to the dissatis faction of other players, agreed to forget his quarrel with Coach Ossie Solem and report for practice as usual. "I know wre'll get along fine now," Simmons said after a midnight con ference with Solem and C.

M. Upde- graff, chairman of the board of athletics. "Everything is settled satisfactorily." Sports writers, however, doubted whether "everything" had been settled. When Simmons returns to practice he will work with a squad wracked by dissension. Solemn and Simmons got Into an argument over Simmons' work.

Player and coach lost their tempers. Solem ordered Oze from the room. He left and announced he was "through." Co-Captain Ted Osmaloskl persuaded him to report for practice Tuesday, however. When Simmons showed up on the field, Solem demanded an apology. Simmons refused, said he thought Solem owed him an apology.

Ozzie then left the field and turned in his suit. His brother Don took his place in the lineup. Solem smiled when asked about the incident.

EDDIE McENTEE, the former city detective who died the other day following auto injuries, is also remembered as a fight manager.

He managed CURLY KLAAS, the heavyweight, among others.

Sports Stew MAX HANNUM, Carnegie Tech's publicity director and basketball coach, iikes BABE PATT, Tech's fine end, because of the kid's high titive spirit. You can get PATT down for one game or so, but the way he i ually bounces back is good stuff. HANNUM'S a orite story about PATT cone erns the time the basketball team was practicing Babe Patt and ERNIE SESTO, the boxing coach, was on the other end of the floor, shouting his lungs out for a heavyweight. He wanted some big fellow to don the gloves and give his star heavy a workout.

SESTO'S yelling finally got on PATT'S nerves, and he walked over to HANNUM and asked if he could be excused for a minute. He ran over to the ring, pulled on a pair of boxing gloves and proceeded to knock out Coach SESTO'S promising heavyweight! After picking his opponent up, PATT took off the gloves, hurried back to the court and took his pla.ee with the varsity. DR. JOCK SUTHERLAND made a convert out of a young man and three little kids after the Pitt-Penn State game Saturday. The fellow escorted his son and his two buddies out of the Stadium Saturday and happened to catch up to DR.

SUTHERLAND as he was going into the Pitt dressing room. He called to him: "Doctor, have you got time to shake hands with these little fellows?" I have."

Liberal Trade In Allowance heart-breaking football defeat. Michigan has waited 11 years to get its chance at Northwestern; Notre Dame has waited but one. The luck of this year's schedule has exactly reversed the positions of Northwestern and Michigan as they met in combat at Soldier Field back in 1925.

Then Michigan, with its great forward passing combination of Benny Friedman and Benny Oosterbaan, had one of the nation's greatest teams and came to Chicago with an unbeaten, untied record. Northwestern had been beaten by Chicago and Tulane. Northwestern battled through the mud to upset Michigan, 3-2, for one of the bitterest defeats ever suffered by the Wolverines. The Wildcats kicked an early field goal, and staved off many Michigan threats. Tim Lowry, Northwestern captain, finally made certain of victory by giving the Wolverines a deliberate safety late in the game.

Then Comes Notre Dame Now Michigan, beaten by Michigan State, Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania, faces Northwestern Saturday at Ann Arbor conceded only a Chinaman's chance of victory. But the Wolverines, goaded on by a desire for revenge, cannot be discounted on their record to date, which shows only a triumph over Columbia. Beyond Michigan lies Notre Dame, thirsting for revenge to salve the wounds left by the Wildcats' 14-7 victory last November. Oddly enough, Notre Dame, fresh from its thrilling 18-13 triumph over Ohio State, was headed in the direction of the national title that day. The Irish scored first, and had another touchdown called back.

The Wild cats came with a late rush and blasted the Irish to what proved to be their only loss of the season. Although beaten, Wisconsin tipped Michigan and Notre Dame on how to beat the Wildcats through the air. The Badgers completed 19 out of 30 passes and had some of the backs running around in circles. Earlier, Ohio State had found a flaw in the Northwestern pass and struck through the air for two touchdowns. FRANTZ'S MARCH ON BERLIN', PENNSYLVANIA struck when Dr.

Jock Sutherland was told by Dr. Ralph Shanor, team physician, that, in all probability. Bill Glassford, senior guard, would be able to play for at least half the game Saturday. Glassford hobbled oft the Polo Grounds during the Fordham match with a badly-wrenched knee. He saw no action against Perm State and was running with a marked limp as late as Tuesday.

In yesterday's final drill at home he seemed to come to life and was pulling into the interference with little or no loss of speed and shiftiness. Dr. Sutherland expected to run him with the varsity in the workout at Stagg Field, the home of University of Chicago football, this afternoon. Greene Looks Good Walter Raskowski, sophomore understudy, will be in Glassford's place at the kickoff, but if the Lancaster, senior veteran can give 30 minutes of service it will bolster the Panthers' chances immeasurably. Defensively, too, "Bif-fer's" presence in the middle of the line would make it all the tougher for the Huskers.

With one worry partially erased, the coaches were still fretting over the fullback position. Bill Stapulis, who has divided the position with Frank Patrick throughout the season, suffered such a severe shoulder injury last Saturday that he is through for the year and did not accomDanv the squad. A last- minute swrxh transferred Arnold Greene from quarterback to the No. 4 berth, and the Huntingdon senior was to run with the second eleven today. "Greene has taken to his new Job even better than we expected, but at this stage of the season it is difficult for a boy to work into a new job and be smooth at it," Dr.

Sutherland said this morning. Patrick, probably, will play tne greater part of the game with Greene ready for duty only if needed. To Omaha Tomorrow The Panthers had this morning to themselves and following their drill in the afternoon, they were to be taken to the Burlington station where they will board their special cars for the overnight run to Omaha. They will arrive there shortly before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and will be quartered at the Blackstone Hotel until Saturday morning when the short trip to Lincoln will be made. Thpi lineuo as it will take the field this afternoon included Daddio and Hoffman, ends; Matisi and Daniell, tackles; Raskowski and Dalle Tezze.

guards; Adams, center; Chickerneo, quarterback: Goldberg and LaRue, halfbacks; Patrick, fullback. Cold Weather Expected The party found clear, cold Heather here, but it was warming up rapidly after winter had paid a real visit earlier in the week. Reports from the West indicated that the game would be played under ideal conditions, except that there would be a biting chill in the air.
