SUNDAY NEWS, OCTOBER 14. 1934 40 0 Quick Change; Revenge By PAUL Pitt Fells Coast Film Idols, 20-6, Cm ties PITT STADIUM, Oct. 13. Who is the mysterious stage manager of the seasons who sets and stages those miraculous shifts from Summer to Autumn, from one sport to another? Where does he keep the myriad properties with which the changes are recorded? It seems as if one moment we are sitting up in a baseball press box, munching peanuts, overcoats hung on the peg, watching the ball players sweat on the field. The bleachers are all speckled white with coatless spectators in the sun and the venders are selling score cards, peanuts and ice cold soda.

There are no pennons or banners on display. It is all pure baseball. The stands are horseshoe shaped and the playing field a diamond. All the cries and noises and shouts are typical of baseball. As Weep By JIMMY row Kits.

To the infinite consternation of the two carloads of Hollywood cuties, who accompanied the Trojans Last, tht- lu'-men of this sooty metropolis reeled off a touchdown in each of the first quarters. Now, that seemed but yesterday in the sultry warmth of St. Iftiuis, and this is but today in the chilling frost of Pittsburgh but, miraculously, all the props are here.

Not a detail was missing, so smoothly was the stage direction. On the long walk up the mountain atop which the stadium sits, all the venders of colors and pennants were there with their little footballs and feathers and flags. The yellow crysanthemums were out in clusters in the hands of street salesmen. Even the 'JEST M. VJESLEYM UPSETS tJ.Y.U.,21-3 By JACK MILKY.

And there, inside the Pitt Stadium, was the familiar barred field, the oval stands, the blanketed subs on the side lines and the venders now hawking hot coffee to warm the overcoated crowd.

Summer had no lingering death this year. It was simply wiped out with one single deft move that left one wondering whether it had not always been the football season, with the barking cheers and the acrobatic cheer leaders, goal post shadows and tumbling bodies. A v. This is the great vengeance game here today between Pitt and Southern California. Pitt has suffered severe humiliation in the past in the Rose Bowl at the hands of the Trojans, and a lot of innocent citizens are suffering therefrom this afternoon.

A few of the players from each team took part in the last Pitt-Trojan massacre on the Coast, but most of the Trojans in today's game are innocent young men with no malice in their souls, who merely inherited the grudge that Pitt seems to bear. The Pittsburghers already have had some 75 yards of penalties and the game is not yet over, so the feud must be carrying on right lustily on the field. from pivot-man Ed Morschauser to Smith flew high over Ed's shoulder and he had to flop on the pigskin on his own 10 yard line. He punted to Peterson on Wesleyan's 40 yard stripe, who ran the ball back 10 yards before hewas downed. Bach-tel.

Peterson and Barnunt smashed through on power plays to the 2 yard line, and Peterson raced around his own left end for a touchdown. He then kicked goal. Score: W. Va. Wesleyan 14, N.

Stelmach took the ball to the yard line, but he fumbled on the 2 yard stripe and Bar-num kicked back to his own 40. Peterson intercepted a pass from Stelmach to Allen Walz on Wesleyan's 0 yard line and galloped 67 yards along the east sideline to the Violet 7 yard marker. Bachtel flipjied him a short pass and Peterson skirted his own right end to score. Then he kicked goal.

The passing attack, no x.il with it sweeping end runs, davuled tin- Iohk i-sh Trojans. Ttu' name win the first appear The particular target for the two-year-old Pittsburgh spleen seems to be the little 145-pound rabbit, the impish face of a faun, named Cotton Warburton. The little white-headed guy is dangerous when he gets hold of the ball, being fast, tricky and shifty.

This triple indictment, coupled with a beautifully-thrown forward pass, was certainly sufficient excuse for the Pittsburghs to attend to Mr. Cotton's business whenever they could. One Pittsburgher, after knocking Cotton down on a block play, remained around to push his face back into the sod when the little guy tried to get up. When an official spoke to him about this exhibition of zeal, he explained that, not knowing whether Cotton was going to be fast, tricky shifty at the moment, he thought it best to sit on him twice. No penalty was inflicted at that point.

Evidently the Pittsburgher had logie on his side. There was no breaking loose for Warburton on the first three quarters at least, and we are in the fourth now. He scuttled famously enough, but always into an aggressive part of white shirts, who saw no reason for sitting him down mercifully just because he happened to be a little guy. No, they sat him down hard, by two's and three's, and cross-scissored him whenever they could, but apparently without disturbing his physical well-being. But they certainly arrested his forward progress to Tae King's taste.

Football is the glaring example of the stiff price of fame in all walks of life. Go along, modestly and anonymously in your business, content with a reasonable share of glory or profit, and no one will ever bother you. No one will even know you are around. But stick your head up in the manner of Master Warburton. Acquire fame, publicity, and a face that, through frequent reproductions in the newsprints is easily recognizable, and the boys gang up on you.

They say: "So THERE you are? POW!" Your reputation is thrice in danger. They give you no rest. Even if you're not carrying the ball they run over and belt you one just for luck. So with Warburton on this crisp, sunny, cloudless day. ICopTrijrht: lfl'll: by ws s.rrwlieatt1 uo i N.
