"They haven't looked too good because they've been playing just hard enough to win. "WE'RE FINALLY IN good I shape. Wouldn't it be a nice one to win? This is our chance to make up for our setbacks." Pittsburgh Is a 10 -point underdog, but don't try to make the Syracuse coach, Ben Schwartzwalder, believe it. "No doubt about it," said he, "they represent our biggest obstacle. Sure, they have a .500 record (2-2-2) but look who they've been playing and look at the scores.

Give them a total of ix points, and they would be 6-0. i "THEY ARE AN exceptionally strong defensive team," he pointed out. "In six games, against tough opposition, they have given up only six touchdowns." It is the improved health of several of his best defensive players that has lifted Michelosen's hopes. Fullback Cunningham, an excellent linebacker, and guard Larry Vignah, are ready to go full-time after playing just a bit last Saturday against TCU. Paul Hodge, sturdy middle linebacker, and Regis Coustillac, another big guard and linebacker, lso have thrown off injuries.

If Pittsburgh has shown one weakness, it is in the line on offense. Except for left half Bob Clemens, who has a 5.6-yard average, the running backs haven't been gaining a great ideal. 1 -BECAUSE OF THIS. Michelo- seii is spending a lot of time on passing. Jim Traficant, a six-foot sophomore, is now his No, 1 pitcher and a good one.

He has been getting better each week. His team's passing in the last game with West Virginia has helped Schwartzwalder's peace of mind. Dave Sarette and Ron Thomas each completed 5-for-7.

fagi in Xr I 1 --e ijll Middies Ail Annapolis, Oct. 25 (AP). Injuries and illness have resulted in changes on the fourth-ranked Navy football team. Coach Wayne Hardin reported today that Walt Strobach, No. 2 left halfback, suffered an ankle injury in a fall and probably will be out of Saturday's game with Notre Dame at Philadelphia.

Hardin has moved John Zen-yuh, who has alternated at halfback and fullback, to Stro-bach's second-team spot. Another doubtful performer is second-team guard Vern Von Sydow. Hardin said Von Sydow has the flu. Tony Lucci, second-team center, has been switched to guard. Other doubt-fuls are halfback Al Hughes and tackle Ron Testa.

Both are suffering from earlier injuries. we've looked good passing," Ben pointed out. "Either the passers had been off or the receivers dropped balls in their hands. They just couldn't get together." FOR THE FIRST time this season, the Orange will have the starting backfield Schwartzwalder intended to have early in September. That will include Sarette at quarterback, Ernie Davis and Mark Weber at the halves and Art Baker, fullback.

Weber has been hampered by an injury and, beginning with the Holy Cross game three weeks ago, played only on defense. Baker lost his regular job to Johnny Nichols last week, then won it back. Only doubtful Syracuse starter now is John Brown, the big, tough outside tackle. He hurt an ankle on the opening kickoff of the Holy Cross game and, though he is working out, hasn't yet gotten the doctor's green light.

The letter was sent to Moore's home at San Diego, Calif.

David Ott, NBA president, sent Moore a letter saying the action was taken because of Moore's failure to schedule a title fight with Eric Schoeppner of Germany, as specified by the NBA. THE NBA TOOK similar action against Moore last Feb. 15, but returned the title to the ancient gladiator March 5 after Moore signed to fight Schoeppner in Toronto.

The NBA made a condition also that the winner would have to defend against Harold Johnson of Philadelphia or whoever might be the No. 1 contender at that time. The Moore Schoeppner fight was postponed once to let Moore get down to the 175-pound limit, then was called off because a tele-Tision deal fell through.
