Pitt's Panthers, operating under a new ana "purer" athletic deal, rolled over Washington at Seattle, 27-, in the feature attraction ot a brilliant program in the far west.

30. Twenty pounds underweight, but recovering fast now that his boys are in, Manager Bill McKechnle of the Cincinnati Beds is choosing his words very carefully when he talks about the World series starting next Wednesday against the New York Yankees. Wow don't expect me to make any fire-eating predictions," said the deacon today. "But I will say this much: the Yankees are a long way from being a super-team. Every club in their league has beat them this year, and I think I have a lot better team than most of them in that league." "That's correct," said Third-Baseman BUI Werber, who came to the Reds from the Athletics last spring.

rve beat them three straight one series." "So figure it out from that." McKechnle went on. "There are ways of beating-them, just like any other club."

The Pitt aerial circus took command in the first five minutes and never was headed, although it looked for a while In the third period as though the weary Panther airmen were heading for the hangar for repairs.

Lightning-fast backfield work by Dick Cassiano, only remaining member of Pitt's 1938 "dream backfield," and Ben Kish, rugged 200-pound quarterback, was a deciding factor for the easterners. The Pitt attack wasted no time getting under way, either by land or by air, and "quickie" passes had the Husky defenders dizzy.

Southern California rushed in its one, two and three teams, but the Webfoots staved off all threats until Nave went to work.

The last time Oregon defeated the Trojans was in 1915. Unable since then even to tie the Men of Troy, they froze on to the ball In the closing minutes, content with an even break.

"But I don't think the Yankee pitchers are any better than mine. In other words, I wouldn't trade Walters and Derringer for Ruffing and Gomes. At the same time, maybe Joe McCarthy wouldn't trade with me, either." It may be judged from this conversation that McKechnle is not going to be much help in picking the winner of the series. He spent last night at his home here and said he had his first good, sound sleep in over a month.
