DAILY NEWS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1936 O'Connor for Schwartz "Rams Stake All. By Jack Miley. The arrival in town yesterday of Dr. Jock Sutherland, the dour dentist who hopes to perform a few painless touchdown extractions on the Fordham Ram at the Polo Grounds this afternoon, recalls a mess of Pittsburgh fables. One concerns a Pitt-Nebraska game at Lincoln a few years, ago.

The good Doctor had a flock of pony backs, fleet little fellows who could do a hundred yards in ten seconds or less, and he was no end distressed, upon inspecting the gridiron, to find that the Corn Huskers hadn't cut the grass in weeks. You were up to your armpits in this alfalfa, and the timothy shackled the ankles of Jock's sprinters as effectively as leg irons. With Pitt Today By Jack Smith. Fordham's undefeated eleven stakes its Rose Bowl chances against Pitt at the Polo Grounds today. Fordham is 9 5 underdog.

Altho upset, 7 0, by Duquesne, Pitt boasts the strongest running attack in the East. Fordham with maior victories over Southern Methodist and St. Mary's, boasts a great line. Well, the game starts at 2:00, so we will know the answer about supper time. The game is a natural.

More than 50,000 fans will watch it. Raging after the Duquesne defeat. Pitt blasted Notre Dame and has turned its wrath on Fordham. The brilliant Marshall Goldberg, heralded as the best running back since Red Grange, will match his piston Sutherland got down on his hands and knees and was prowling around in this lush foliage when the Nebraska coach approached him and asked the meaning of his strange behavior. "I think," said the Doctor, brushing the burrs out of his ears, "that I've lost one of my halfbacks in here some place!" plunging against the stub A Close Shave 1 1 Y'ou can't mention Pitt without remembering Notre Dame, since the exploits of these two great outfits are so closely-interwoven.

Back in 1930, wnen the late Knute Rockne had his last championship team, the Nomads came to Pittsburgh to play Sutherland's squad. There was an old Irish bricklayer in the Smokey City who had been reading in the newspapers about the derringdo of Rock's boys and he decided he would see his first football game. i i bornness of Tackle Ed Franco.

Finally he reached the Pitt bowl, bought his ticket and climbed to the uppermost point of the big eoncreta chafing dish. He killed the bottle, tossed it away and fell asleep. Notre Dame scored 35 points in the first half, but the bibbler slept thru it all.

The Irishman hit his neighbor a clip in the ribs with his elbow. Then he slapped his thigh, hunched forward in his seat and muttered, "O'Connor for Schwartz, eh? Now, bejabbers, we'll see some football!" But Notre Dame didn't score a point thereafter in fact, they haven't scored a point against the Panther in Pittsburgh from that day to this! 4c -V JSfes Martin takes razor in hand rtd Dean his life in his as 5epper scrapes the Dirzy One. It was almost as close as going to Dodgers. Another Notre Dame story concerns the over-zealous official who penalized the ears off the Layden lugs in one of their early games this season. Every time Notre Dame made a five-yard gain, the ref would push them back thrice that distance on some technicality just as Duquesne's Judge Egan punished Fordham in last Saturday's St.

Mary's game. The arbiter so obviously favored the other team that Notre Dame was sure he was going to win his letter and possibly a year's free tuition. Finally somebody fumbled and there was a magnificent pile-up. "Our ball!" cried the Notre Dame captain. "It isn't!" screamed the official.

Up in Westchester, where the team is training, he was not to be found. No one knew Goldberg, none of his teammates would identify him. Jock denied his Jewish star was doing a Carbo. "Newspaper men frighten him," explained Sutherland. "The boy is modest.
