WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5, 1932 UmONTOWN, NEWS STANDARD PAGE NINE Passing Attack Both Teams Expected To Figure Prominently In Scoring. PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5--After wait- Ing for thirty years for their chance, Elmer Lay den's Duquesne Dukes will get their first crack at the Pitt Panthers this coming Saturday afternoon at the Pitt Stadiurrf with the game start- Ing at 2:30 o'clock. Duquesne with a veteran lineup will meet a team that has more than the usual number of sophomores in the line up.

This is expected to offset whatever advantage Pitt has because of their greater experience against major teams. Prom what the two running attacks have shown so far this season, the battle looms as a strictly aerial affair. The Pitt passing combination cf Heller to Reider or vice-versa and the Duquesne combination of Deluca to Abele are expected to prove troublesome to botn teams. Reider To Play Whether or not the Pitt cripples out of action against West Virginia will be back in play Is problematic, but It Is perfectly safe to predict that if Paul Reider, fiery Pitt captain, can walk at all, that he will be back at his old halfback post against the Dukes. Sophomore Izzy Welnstock, biggest man on the first-team with his pounds of muscle and bone will bear the brunt of the offensive burden against the Bluff school.

Against the Mountaineers last Saturday the Wilkes Barre boy performed nobly, leading trie Interference and smashing the W. V. U. line for numerous gains. He averaged eight yards on every attempt.

Yesterday Coach Sutherland sent his gridders against a fourth team drilled in Duquesne plays. The scrubs threw numerous forward passes much on the same order of the Dukes keeping the halfbacks and safety man on their toes throughout the practice. I Uniontowners To See Tilt The board of strategy of the University of Pittsburgh witnessed the BluET- ites In action against West Virginia and Grove City and have stressed the main of their attack Pitt "linesman arid" secondary when on defensive. A large crowd of Uniontown farts are expecting to attend this game that will plenty to do concerning the mythical City championship of Pittsburgh which is three-cornered affair lor the first time. i Minnesota Football Star In Battle With Death.

He is a letterman in football, boxing and baseball and has been i candidate for both, the varsity basketball a track teams. Coming to the university with no experience as a high school football player, Karr showed remarkable 'adeptness at the sport and in his sophomore 'year was understudy to Gene Joseph.

Tod Goodwin, sophomore who took, his place, did so well in that game that Karr will have to show con- sidercble talent in forthcoming games and practices in order to earn back his position.

Today's Sport Parade BY HENKr BfcUEMORE (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Oct. patronizing Harvard Crimson, edited perhaps, by young men who bruise easily and heal slowly, is quite distressed by the Harvard football habit of scheduling small, weak teams for opening games. The editors saw little sense and less sportsmanship in Harvard's 66 to 0 of little Buffalo on Saturday.

It left them enraged. "The competition," the Crimson said', "was as sportsmanlike as a match between Jack Sharkey and any average flyweight fighter--and a little iess interesting for players and spectators from, a purely football point of view the game was even worse than worthless. The game was absolutely indefensible with, regard to fair play and value to the team." Granting at the outset that our intelligence and logic when compared with that of the Crimson editors is as 0 to 66, we beg to rise and call the editors cock-eyed. The editors are right about one thing--the game was worthless to Harvard. You can't test a pile driver on a carpet tack.

Hai the editors rested their case with Harvard, we wouldn't argue. But they" went on and rose to the defense or Buffalo, saying something about "a small college team went home wondering what it was all Buffalo doesn't need any sympathy. The fact they booked the game would indicate they wanted it. And why they wanted it is easy to understand, it- gave them a brief spell in the soft, warming glow of the limelight. Moreover, it gave them a chance at glory that games with opponents ol their own strength, or weakness, could not offer.

Think of the satisfaction that would have been theirs had they, by some miracle of miracles, held Harvard even. Such, miracles don't happen, you say. No! What about little Bates and Yale, then? Co you think Bates regrets those 50, 60, and 79 to 0 lickings that have been taken from the Ells In the past? Why those pastings only made that 0-0 tie of last Saturday all the sweeter. That even break produced balm enough to not only the pain of the players who accomplished it, but to heal the wounds or all the Bates men who ever suffered rap on the shins in battle with the Bulldogs. The very sight of that score--Bates 0.

Yale 0--in the yearbook wm gladden the hearts, quicken the pulse, of every Bates man (and women, if the place is co-ed) from now until judgment day. And the Crimson editors would deprive the Buffalos of such a thrill! They may take a 79-0 beating next rear ana it may be 80 to 0 the next, but sooner or later they'll pull a Bates. And mi give them a tingle that deteaung Hobart, Drexel, Dennison and Slippery Rock never could. Wei), vre guess that's telling their. Harvard gpys.

Hurrah for P. S. 31. You might try these on your pocketixxk: War Hero to whip the iifth at Laurel today. Tony Canzoneri to stop Prankie Pe- trolic.
