LIGONIER, Oct. 10 BURCKY Interest of the American COLUMBUS, Oct. 10 The fourth football meeting between Pitt and Ohio State, which drew more than 75,000 spectators to the Buckeye Stadium this afternoon, brings out anew the utterly different spheres in which the two great universities function steeplechasing world centered on picturesque, autumn-painted Ligonier Valley today for the second running of the International Gold Cup, a breath-taking three-and-a-half-mile race over the Rolling Rock Club's brushy course. won at Rye and Pimlico. The Mole triumphed at Warrentown, Va.

The final day of racing was to start at 2:30 o'clock, with the Bay-wood, a mile and a half hurdle race. Mrs. Lewis A. Park's Royal Thomas looked like the good thing ifi this event. Royal Thomas won a similar event here Wednesday.

In the Westmoreland Cup, second race, two and a half miles over brush, Mrs. Park's Crooked Wood loomed as the probable winner. Crooked Wood had a big edge in the Malcolm McGiff in Memorial Wednesda5 and today's race was to be only a half mile longer. Richard K. Mellon's Escape 3rd, winner of the Loyalhanna Wednesday, looked like the best bet in to day's Western Pennsylvania Hunts Cup event, three and a half miles lover the timber course, although Tertius, owned by Mrs.

Francis P. Garvan of New York, also appeared a good choice. The Laurel Ridge, a mile and a quarter flat race immediately following the Gold Cup feature, listed 12 entries, of which Randolph Duffey's Protagonist, Alvin Utermeyer's Wizardness, Tom Halladay's Jabola, Miss Nancy Patterson's Dark Light and L. W. Robinson Gold Cup 2nd appeared to be the best.

KiclU A. W. i'itt. By LESTER BIEDERMAN On the good right arms of Ray Carnelly and Jerry Mate-Ian; the able hands of the ends and halfbacks, and the ability of the backs to break into the open and run, run fast, Carnegie Tech today pins its hopes of an upset victory over Michigan State's proud eleven at the Stadium today. The Spartans enter this battle the favorites but Carnegie is accustomed to being quoted as the underdogs and many times has come out the winner.

Tech is far from underestimating the strength of the visitors. The Tartans know that Michigan State boasts powerhouse runners, a strong line and a stout defense. They know, also, that the Spartans just a week ago bumped off the University of Michigan, 21 to 7, for the third straight year. Tartan Offense Primed Three years ago Carnegie Tech inaugurated football relations with the Spartans at Lansing. and the game ended 0-0.

The following season, Tech returned to Lansing and lost, 13 to 0, on two field goals and a touchdown. Today's battle is the third in the series and the first showing of the visitors in this territory. Carnegie's offense has been stepped up considerably this fall and with it the Techs boast a high-class passing attack. Carnegie completed nine out of 18 passes against Notre Dame with Patt being on the receiving ends of most of 'em. Carnelly is a rare find at quarterback, a punter, a passer, a runner and a smart fella.

He'll start at quarter for the Techs and Whitey Lee, at fullback, is the only other sophomore in the Skibo array. State Light, Powerful Matelan, a little halfback, but a running fool, and Gene Rosenthal, a sturdy performer, round out the backfield at the halves. The Michigan Staters have a light, powerful backfield, headed by Al Agett, a triple-threat performer, and at the halves. Halbert I is quarterback and Brandstatter, fullback. New Hampshire vs.

With, the world series packed away for another year, the gridiron warriors gallop to the front. Today's games present the real opportunity of the year for upsets as intersectional and Conference battles pair strong foes. The program of 209 games from coast to coast is topped by three clashes in the Mid-West, all of which feature teams seeking the mythical national championship. Headline encounter of the day will draw approximately 80,000 fans to Columbus, to see the mighty Pittsburgh Panthers in a game that will eliminate one of them from consideration for premier honors. At Minneapolis, Bernie Bierman's Minnesota Gophers, undefeated in three years, and with a victory over Washington to their credit this season, run into Nebraska, favorite to capture the Big Six title.

At Champagne, 111., Southern California, storming back to the heights it occupied before 1933, meets Illinois. The other intersectional clash is at the Polo Grounds Fordham, one of the East's best bets, starts Its suicide schedule against Southern Methodist. And over in the other world series park, Army gets its first test of the season against Columbia in what should be a battle of rugged lines and triple threat men. Tulsa Wins Third In Dixie Series By The. United Press TULSA.

Oct. 10 Tulsa Oilers, Texas League champions, lacked only one game of winning the Dixie Series and the baseball championship of the South today, after blasting Birmingham Barons, 5 to 2, last night. Coming back strong after two days of idleness because of rain, the Tulsans continued their victory march behind the pitching of Irv Stein to win their third consecutive game. 15.

The committee is composed of Harry Gane-lin, Samuel B. Gilbert, George L. Lutton, Curtiss K. Murphy, and M. A.

Myer of Beaver Falls, and A. Hegner of Sewickley. By Chester L. mith and Jack Berger 'ifls K. 1 to balaance the East with the West, aside from the sectional opponents such as Duquesne, Carnegie Tech, Penn State and West Virginia.

It would not be surprising- were the balance to suing away from the seaboard and in the direction of the flat-lands to an even greater degree. The Panthers may be strict eastern themselves, but they seem to fancy rivals from other districts. Ohio State and Pitt are natural rivals. The strange circumstance is that they do not engage each other oftener. The of course, is the former's commitments in the Western Conference and the natural desire to spread what other games remain over as wide a territory as possible.

This, it would seem, is unfortunate for both sides. Baron's Run Gives Bearcats Victory Derry Mite Spark of Win Over Wesleyan Special to The Pittsburgh Press LATROBE, Oct. 10 There's a quiet little fellow here today trying to avoid all the talk he caused last night. Nick Baron, 145-pound Derry mite, whose 45-yard run through scrimmage, rain and mud brought St. Vincent's victory over West Virginia Wesleyan.

6-0, in the final period last night, is that lad. Baron was almost the whole show but it was not until the game was pretty well spent that he got away for a touchdown. The Bearcats blew three chances to score earlier, one of them when this same Baron sloshed 60 yards only to see his team fumble later and then miss a field goal try. In the first period Wesleyan staved off defeat by holding the Bearcats for downs on the six-yard line. Eagles Get Masters PHILADELPHIA, Oct.

10 Walter Masters, w-ho played football in the University of Pennsylvania back- field from 1928 to 1930, has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, of the National Professional Football League, Bert Bell, manager of the Eagles, said today. TIME OUT tl I We're Ready! We'll Do Our Best! I Hope We Win Jock 'We Have Considerable Potential Strength, I've Never Seen Better Team Spirit Says Panther Coach On Eve of Clash With Buckeyes 1 athletically. In a -geographical sens, they are as close as brothers, yet when they meet it is an intersectional duel the East pitted against the Mid-West. Ohio State has shaped its schedule along more provincial lines than have the Panthers, for whije the Scarlet and' Gray Had West Virginia as its first Eastern rival as tar back as 1897 and Pitt did not venture westward until 1905, when it met and defeated Ohio Medical University. 51 to 0.

the Blue and Gold has fought 27 battles against the Mid-West against 19 for the Bucks w-ith Eastern elevens. Titt has won lost" nine and tied five. Better fortune has followed Ohio, whose teams have captured 10 victories, been defeated on five occasions, and has three tie games. Indians, Lions Thrill FROM 1897 until 1903, Ohio encountered west Virginia four times. The Mountaineers took the first game.

28 to 0, but afterward the tide swung the other way and the neophyte Buckeyes rolled up large scores at the expense of the brigade from Mor-gantown. The Carlisle Indians ventured out this way in 1904 and that was a sorry day for Ohio State. The Redskins packed away a 23-0 triumph over the Oleritangy Palefaces. In State appeared. The record reads that the score was one point for the Nittany Lions, nothing for Ohio.

But that falls short of telling the story The Buckeyes walked off the field, badlv battered and literally asking for mercy. From 1912 until 1923, the Buckeyes did not meet up with a single Eastern rival. In the latter year one of the most topsy-tervy skirmishes of modern football took place here with Colgate. The score was 23 to 23, a deadlock which went unequalled until Dartmouth and Yale scrambled through to a 33-33 stalemate at New Haven a decade later. Panthers, Tigers Have Edge SINCE that the Buckeyes have taken part in series with Princeton, Navy, Columbia, Pitt and Penn.

The Tigers and Panthers are the only ones that have eked out an even break or better. Princeton won 20 to 0 in 1927 and a year later was held to a 6-6 tie. largely because of a thrilling tackle at a critical moment bv Wesley Fesler. Ohio's All-America end. Columbia was tripped 9 to 0 and 27 to 0.

Navy had no show at all, losing first by three and then by four touchdowns. Pennsylvania lost twice, and three years ago Colgate was edged 10 to 7. The Pitt-Ohio slate is clean on both sides. The Rose Bowl Panthers of 1929 had no difficulty in overpowering the Buck-eTes, 18 to 2. Twelve months later, in Columbus, the reverse tras true when Pitt lost 16 to 7.

Followed, in 1932. the heart-fluttering: 0-0 combat which is still remembered in Pittsburgh as one of the fiercest games ever seen in the Stadium. Pitt Looks Westward THE Panthers' annual brushes with Notre Dame and Nebraska lend a Mid-Western touch which Ohio State does not have in its relations with the East. But there was also the Minnesota series, a memorable engagement with Iowa in 1931, and the Impending matches against Wisconsin. In more ways one, the Panthers are looking in the direction of the sunset for its loot-ball opponents Within another year, there will be three places on the schedule filled by teams which would have been considered utterly foreign to the Panthers natural field or ambitions as late as 10 years ago.

The policy of the schedule- making at present seems to be- Twelve of the outstanding horses now campaigning were nominated and ready to go to the post in the race that will qualify the first three nnisners tor tne Grana national, most famous steeplechase event in the world, at Aintree, England. Today they will compete for the King Alfonse cup, a beautiful gold trophy donated by the former ruler of Spain, and a $1000 purse. With favorable weather, the race committee confidently expected to entertain at least 10,000 horse fans here today with the five-event program which concludes the third annual meeting of the Rolling Rock Hunt Racing Association. The Pennsylvania Railroad was to operate a i ruff Srfi fans at the station with buses to take them to the course. What-Have-You Top Weight Clem McCarthy, famed turf an nouncer for the National Broadcast ing Company, was to go on the air at 4 o'clock to describe the running of the Gold Cup race over Station KDKA and the NBC blue network.

Among the favored entries in the Gold Cup were What Have You, Eastern Shore, Blackcock, Soldier's Fate, Forbis, Rocky Shore, The Mole and Sir Gareth. What Have You, owned by Frank M. Gould of New York, was to be eiven toD impost of 166 pounds, with Blackcock, owned by Louis E. Stoddard of New York, carrying 163. Other weights were Soldier's Fate 156, Rocky Shore 154, Sir Gareth 154, The Mole 153, Eastern Shore 152, Forbis 142, Pontoon 141, Disport 138, Theldan 135 and Da potto 135.

Eastern Shore figured to get heavy backing today because of his triumph Wednesday in the Rolling Rock Hunt Cup, a three-mile brush race, only half a mile shorter than the Gold Cup event. Forbis also figured to have many backers today, because of his game finish Wednesday. He was closing in rapidly on Eastern Shore when a riderless horse knocked him down. Forbis was remounted and finished third behind Eastern Shore and Disport. Four Other Events At least eight of the Gold Cup entries have been winners this season.

What Have You triumphed at Foxcatcher, United Hunts and Belmont. Soldier's Fate won at Radnor. Blackcock was first at Rockaway and several commercial tracks. Rocky Shore and Pontoon were winners at Camden. Eastern Shore, winner of the Rolling Rock, also copped at Saratoga.

LESTER BIEDERMAN. way I feel about our game today with Ohio State. From the moment that we got off the train, Ohio State folks have been telling us how glad they are to see us and how they hope we will have a pleasant stay in their city. I am taking it all literally, except for the two hours between two and four o'clock this afternoon.

I can hardly believe they wish us a happy sojourn during those 120 minutes, 'Hope We Succeed But that's all right. We'll try to make ourselves the most unpleasant guests the Buckeyes have ever had in the same interval. I hope we succeed. But, like all football coaches, I am making no predictions. We have a team of considerable potential strength.

I have never seen better spirit on a squad. But when we go up against an eleven such as the Buckeyes possess, we realize wre are meeting a team of equals. If that were not the case, there would not be the tremendous interest there is in the game and it would be what the experts call a setup. The fact that Ohio Is one of the leading elevens of the country furnishes us with an incentive to win. We will give our best.

If that isn't good enough, we will be more than glad to salute the winner. Ever since I played at Pitt under that grand old coach, "Pop" Warner, we have prided ourselves that we can lose as gracefully as we can win. But we don't like to lose. We will give graphic evidence of that fact this afternoon. No Disgrace to Lose I regret that Paul Shaw, one of our best ends, will not be able to start or play in the game.

Shaw is an excellent player and would be a great help, but an 'injured leg keeps him on the benchi However, that Is part of the game of foot- ball. It is played with what you haVe on the field, not what you might have. The rest of our team is in good shape. There are one or two minor bruises, but we hope they will not handican us. We hear Ohio is fit and ready.

That's fine. For us to defeat an opponent of that caliber will be a feather in our caps. For us to lose certainly will be no dis grace. Grimes Rumored Brooklyn Manager By The United Press NEW YORK. Oct.
