In a statement issued by Frank Carver, public relations director, Pitt denied its football team Is on a training table the year around, practiced football ten months a year and indulge in hard training in a summer mountain camp.

"Pitt hasn't had a training table since before the World War and does not start football practice until two weeks before school starts in September. The football camp mentioned in the editorial is the university's engineering camp, which was not used this year. When used, the players spend only two weeks of pre-season practice at the camp. The whole story is ridiculous." In addition to the two w-eeks of pre-season training, Pitt's football candidates engage in 24 days of spring football drills during which time undesirables are weeded from the squad. The spring drills last only 112 hours each day.

Editorial Suggests Breaking Relations By The United. Press LINCOLN, Nov. 24 The Daily Nebraskan, University of Ne- ommended that Pittsburgh be dropped from the Cornhusker foot-bail schedule. "The meeting of the Panther and Cornhusker is a battle of professionalism against amateur football," Editor Arnold Levin said. "Pitts- bugh subsidizes, with never a pretense at camouflage of her purpose.

"Its players received scholarships, are on a training table all year long, practice football ten months a year and indulge in a summer's hard training in a mountain camp. Sutherland scouts comb the Pennsyl vania coal fields for strong young men who are capable of assimilating the technicalities of a football play." Levin also accused the Panthexs of rough play in the recent game. He recommended that they be replaced on the Nebraska schedule by "a team which resorts to clean, wholesome amateur practices." TIME OUT master flourish in sinking the previously undefeated and untied Marquette eleven at Forbes Field Saturday, 13 to 0, has its football players sitting tight and awaiting the mailman and some select visitors. The Dukes spurned the Havana, Cuba, invitation for a football date with Alabama Poly in the Cuban capital New Year's Day, leaving the way free for another Pennsylvania grid representative, Villanova, to accept. The Hilltoppers are interested in a bigger battle and are very willing to listen to the proposi tion that Santa Clara, away out on the Far West Coast, has to offer.

Little Clipper's Waiting Santa Clara's eastern representa tive wrote Coach Clipper Smith before the Marquette game If the Dukes beat the Golden Avalanche he'd be in town here for a visit on his way back to California. Mr. Smith will glady listen when the gentleman from Santa Clara stops by and if the bid is tendered it will receive due consideration by the Duquesne authorities. An offer from either the Sugar Bowl or Orange Bowl contests, likewise will be treated favorably by the Bluffites. Meanwhile, the Dukes haven't broken training as yet.

It has been learned on very re liable authority that Pitf has been tendered a "feeler" by the Uni versity of Washington for a possible Rose Bowl game New Year's Day. The Panthers also have an inside track to the Sugar Bowl affair but if the Rose Bowl proffer comes through, they'll pass up the New Orleans tussle. Everything, however, depends on how Pitt fares with the stubborn Tartans of Carnegie Tech Thanks giving afternoon. Pitt would like to close out with an impressive victory to make more certain of their Bowl" invitations, and that's just where the Skibos usually step in. Husky Tech Tackle Hurt Carnegie will enter this contest minus the services of Big Joe Slaminko, husky tackle.

Big Joe suffered a twisted knee and sprained ankle in the clash with Duquesne and hasn't been able to practice since. Wayne Yeknlch is slated to take over Slammko's duties at tackle and j.he remainder of the line will be the same as that which faced Duquesne. Coleman Kopcsak, Freddy Lehman, Gene Rosenthal and Whitey Lee are due to go in the backfield. Pitt will throw, its strongest line up at the Tartans. The Panthers can afford to take no chances.

Bifl Glassford will resume his guard position and Arnold Greene, the converted quarterback, probably won't start at fullback, but is sure to get plenty of work. Thursday will mark the finale in regular season's play for some mighty good stars at both Pitt and Tech. The seniors would like to go out with the memory of a game well played. Cinci Reds Quit Puerto Rico Camp CINCINNATI, Nov. 24 The Cin cinnati baseball club, abandoned Puerto Rico in favor of Florida today as the training site for the 1937 Reds.

Warren C. Giles, general manager, announced the decision not to re turn to San Juan was due to "numerous reasons," chief of which was the desire to have a large squad of upward of 60 players in the spring training camp. Youngest Player Frank Gaines, Michigan State, back is probably the youngest play er college loot ball. He only be 18 when he's a senior next year.

And pr. Stevens thought it would be a fine idea if he left the Violets to their own de-vices and slipped across the river to watch the Mr. Smith Rams, inasmuch as N. Y. U.

has a date with them Thursday. Moreover, it occurred to the onetime of the New Haven back-field that it would be nice if his regulars could drop in for the second half and take a gander at the Fordhams. Of course, this would have to be after they had put the City Colleges in their place with an assortment of early touchdowns and such things. So Dr. Stevens handed his assistant coach, Charley Comerford.

another former Blue, a handful of tickets. "As soon as the boys get enough points, get them dressed and send them over to the Polo Grounds," he instructed Mr. Comerford. The latter assured the boss he would attend to the matter. So it was that when Fordham and Georgia began their battle, Dr.

Stevens was an absorbed observer, busy with pencil and pad jotting down the frailties and strong points of the Maroon. You Guessed It IME wore on. The first quar- so did the first half. Dr. Stevens kept eyeing the vacant seats which had been reserved for his first string coterie.

At the intermission he wondered why they were still unoccupied. Perhaps, he reasoned, there had been a traffic tieup somewhere, but to make sure, he would place a phone call to the scene. After some delay, a connection was established. "What's the score?" the Doctor inquired. "Seven to nothing," came the reply.

Dr. Stevens was slightly taken fcack at this. "Goodness me, are even points all we could get up to this time?" was his somewhat nxious rejoinder. There was a brief lapse on the other end of the wire. Then: "Well, to tell you the truth.

Doctor, we haven't got the seven point they have."

Stevens was reported to have left his notes behind in his haste and his regulars were unable to take so much as part of the afternoon off. The Doctor, of course, isn the only coach who has suffered the pangs of discovering he is in the wrong place at the wrong time and that he has left the family hearth to the mercy of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Tri-State trophies will be in competition for these sports as well as baseball, track, tennis and swimming.

But that was nothing compared to the one a certain football coach pulled in a diner.
