Don Harrison's resignation yesterday by members of the Athletic Council. The resignation of Mr. Harrison brought to an abrupt end the long smouldering feud between the athletic director and football coach, which was climaxed New Year's night inV Pasadena after Pitt's 21 to 0 victory over Washington in the Rose Bowl, when the two waged a bitter battle of words.

The council, meeting in secret yesterday noon at the Du-quesne Club, reluctantly accepted Mr. Harrison's resignation anc1 passed over full control of the football team, including the appointment of assistant football coaches and negotiations: of football schedules to Dr. Sutherland. No successor to Harrison as athletic director was ap-j pointed, nor was there any hint dropped as to who it might be; Harrison, who was named athletic director, after a term as Dean of Men and a member of the English Department, may go back to the faculty, it was reported. He was athletic director for almost 10 years.

This important victory placed the Altoona "Mountain Lions" District 6 representative in the Western Regional final against South, City champion and District 8 contender, on Tuesday night. The site of this game will be announced later by Edmund Wicht from Harrisburg. A small crowd less than 1000 fans watched the game.

Anske was hard to stop and difficult' to cover as he glided around and was ever on the job. After getting two field goals in the first half to help the Mountain Lions hold a 9-4 lead, Anske revealed even more superb form with five more double counters, two in the third and three In the fourth quarter. With Anske contributing 16 of Altoona's 30 points, the Lions were able to center their offense around replied that he had "no intention to be the cause of having anvone sacrifice his position." i -The council in a specially prepared statement, "requested Dr. Sutherland to assume full responsibility for the football program under the" Athletic Council, without an intermediary officer, until a successor to Harrison is appointed.

Only Jack Williams, towering Lion center, with his seven points afforded Ford City trouble besides Anske, but between them it was too much for the Glassers. Appearing stale. Ford City was a very disappointing series representative during the first half. Particularly was this true as the Glassers trailed, 4-1, the end of the first period.

Ford City Rallies But In the third period and late In the last quarter, the Forders really swung into a stride that made their loyalists cheer up their somewhat dampened spirits. That third quarter, paced by Coly Jackson, Negro guard, and Chuck Holley, gave the Glassers a 15-9 scoring edge over Altoona and a 19-18 advantage at the end of this session. This was soon wiped out, however, as the Altoonans were able to benefit on fouls charged to Ford City along with the shooting of Anske. Holley Starts Scoring Held scoreless the first two periods, Holley, who did yeoman service in under the hoop maneuvers, began to sink his shots. Four fell for him in the last two quarters.

But his mate, Jackson came through as the Glassers' leading scorer with four field goals and two fouls but missed an avalanche of shots. Had they fallen successfully, a different tale would have been told. Playing in man to man formation, close at the foul lane, Altoona prevented Ford City from clicking on its tricky ball handling with the result, the Lions often intercepted the ball. And, they moved it around cleverly with a fast breaking attack and deliberate overhead passing to have Anske pop away from in front. This triumph was Altoona's 19th In a row for the season.

As a reward for his fine work thus far, and partly as a spur to the other pitchers, notably Cy Blanton, Traynor has named Ed Brandt, veteran southpaw obtained from Brooklyn, to start against4he Whitesox. Blanton's Arm Sore A sore arm has kept Blanton from pitching in batting practice, but the ailing member has not been too sore to prohibit Cy's daily trip to the trap shooting range. As a matter of fact, Traynor believes the shooting may have something to do with the soreness and today told Cy to lay off.

Brandt deserves the opening assignment. He reported in excellent shape after a winter of hunting in sub zero temperatures. He paced himself carefully over the first week, and, aside from a cold caught at the Arrowhead steam baths, survived early workouts in great shape. Since the arrival of the second squad, he has pitched to batting practice twice and probably will go another time or two before Wednesday.
