The Skibos and Dukes likely will re-arrange the game for a date in mid-November STATE TO GAMBLE AGAINST PITT We all do a lot of grunting and growling over the upsets that confound the so-called experts in football each week-end, yet it is a fact that these verj upsets of form are what make football the interesting game it is.

If the outcome of every game were a foregone conclusion, there would be very little interest in the sport. It is the element of surprise that captures and holds the imagination of the fans. A team that win consistently against severe opposition naturally hogs the headlines, but there is almost as much interest in a team that loses now and then and yet occasionally crowds its way into the picture by winning an important game. Such as Carnegie Tech in its games against Notre Dame and Duquesne this fall, for instance. New Eastern Athletic Setup Hailed.

The net setup in Eastern intercollegiate athletics whereby Asa Smith Bushncll, Princeton '21, leaves his post as graduate athletic manager of Princeton University to become the Judge Landis of sports, with a clearing house office in New York, is being hailed as the best thing that has happened in this field in yeais. Bushnell, who hails from Springfield, 0., where he clerked in a bank before going back to Princeton in an executive capacity, never did much as an athlete in high school or college, although he is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. He says he just wasnt good enough to make the grade. He didnt even go out for a student managership of an athletic team. He became Princeton's graduate manager of athletics quite by accident.

Seven years ago he was talking to the controller of Princeton and the latter remarked he was looking for a graduate manager of athletics and Bushnell said hed take the job, and he got it and made good in a big way. The new bureau over which Bushnell ill preside will pay lilm $10,000 a sear. In addition to co-ordinating schedules he will take over the duty of assigning officials for football games, succeeding Walter R. Okeson, who, as football commissioner of the Fastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, has been in charge of this function for 10 years. Some 50 colleges, Including Pitt and Carnegie Tech, are In She group which will pay for the upkeep of Bushnclls office by assessment They Include the members of the IC4A, over the protests of New York Univeisity, Manhattan and City College of New York, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Frineetor and Yale having voted to go along with the new plan, which Is expected to eliminate a lot of overlapping and waste Included also In the streamlining process are 11 other college groups, all of which will retain their Independence among themselves but will be co-ordinated as a whole In the new alliance.

The organizations which will look to Bushnell as their "Landis" Include, besides the Eastern Intercollegiate Association and the IC4A. the Eastern intercollegiate basketball and baseball leagues; the Eastern Collegiate Basketball Conference, of which Pitt, Car-regie Tech, West Virginia, Temple, Penn State and Georgetown are membeis; the Intel collegiate Ice Hockey Association, the Quadrangular Hockey League, the United States section of the International Intercollegiate Ice Hockey League, the Eastern Swimming League, the Hepta'gonal Games Association and the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Association. Virtually every college sport Is included thus far except tennis and boxing, and they are expected to be brought into the fold. In time a hoard of arbitration will be set up to pass on disputes, no such authority existing at the moment.

Games were lost to Cornell and Syracuse which should have been won. Penn, Lehigh Bucknell, Maryland and Gettysburg have been beaten. Just as Nebraska has been all season, the Lions are opportunists.

They beat Maryland last Saturday In the last 45 seconds of play and put on a belated drive to down Bucknell. An end, Alex Baiantovich, had to make a sommeisault catch of a pass to establish a one-touchdown edge over Lehigh. LIONS LINE HUSKY Flanked by a pair of 165-pound ends, the Lions forward wall averages about 188 pounds, including a pair of 200 pound or better tackles in Hanley and De-Marino and the celebrated Johnny Economos, one of the top guards of the East. And State Is In a swell spot i against Pitt, too. The Lions will wind up their season against the Pantheis and.

therefor will have nothing to worry about save the game at hand while the Panthers, with the battle with Duke looming ahead, will have slightly more on their minds. States record this year has gone a long way toward blasting the defeatist attitude which w-as pievalent there for so long, a factor is bound to help plenty Satur 4 day. si Preparations for the game moved along apace out on the Pitt piactice field vesteiday as Dr. Sutherland gave the boys a long drill. The Blue and Gold passing against Nebraska w-as very sour, and yesterday, the backs pitched passes to one another and the ends for almost an hour, DUKES LEAVE TOMORROW The Dukes will w-ind up their preparations for the game with Marquette at Milwaukee Saturday with a heavy drill this afternoon.

The squad, 35 strong, will depart for the scene of battle tomorrow night, arriving In the Wisconsin city Friday morning All the Red and Blue cripples will make the trip, but it is considered very doubtful If either Boyd Brumbaugh or Oeotge Mat-sik will break Into the tussling. A pair of sophomore tackles. Carl Nery and Franny Eureka are likely to start in place of the banged-up Capt. Joe Maras and Bill Critchfleld. The citys remaining varsity squad, the Cainegie Tech Tartans, also will complete heavy work today and depart tomorrow evening for Worcester and a campaign-closing setto with Holy Cross on Saturday.

TECH HOPES HIGH Carnegie's chances against the Crusaders do not appear any too robust, but Inasmuch as Coach Kern will be able to shoot the works In that his team will be engaging In its final game, the Plaid may hand us all a bit of a surprise and come out with a victory, which, if it happens to be the case, will give the new coaching regime a very satisfactory record for Its Initial season. Kerns chief problem this week has been to construct a defense for Bill Osmanski, the Purple's powerful back, said to be one of the outstanding ball-luggers of the country. If Osmanski can be held in check, Kern figures his own offense will be potent enough to push across a touchdown or two for a triumph. New Rose Bowl Champ Looms PASADENA. Cal, Nov.

new Rose Bowl champion probably will be crowned here on New Years Day. At least that is the sentiment In this community. Opinion Is that Pittsburgh. 1937 winner, will not be on hand to defend Its title. The sentiment here Is that Pitt won get the bid from the team which winds up in the Pacific Conference Champion role Stanford or California.

There also seems to be a sentiment in and about Pittsburgh that the Panthers won come ou for the game even if they are invited. While nothing official has been forthcoming as yet, and won't be until at least after Stanford and California meet Saturday, Indications are the cho'ct wll come from among other unbeaten teams, namely, Alabama, Ford-ham, Holy Cross, VUlanova or Yale. Dartmouth wont be In line for a bid since Big Oreen officials have stated they wont accept It If It should be forthcoming. Angolf Drops Bout To Billy Marquart CHICAGO. Nov 17 -Billy Mar-quatt, 130.

ELMER BVC1IE COLEY MDONOUGIt North Braddock stars at Dayton University (Spend a Day at the Game With Hatlo Tomorrow.) By HARRY BARNETT South Hills will be aiming at a record when Coach Eddie Mazeski sends his team against Peabody High in the city high school championship grid battle at Forbes Field Friday afternoon. If the Tunnelites win they will tie Schen leys mark of winning the city title four times. Victory would also enable them to equal Schenlcy's record of winning the honor three successive years. However, the dope points to Peabody, which has only one title to Us credit, finishing on top In the impending struggle. Section apparently stronger than Section II through the season and Peabody proved a deserving sectional winner by going thiough Its schedule unbeaten and untied.

TEAMS MET IN 1933 South Hills, on the other hand suffered a defeat and a tie In Its regular schedule and had to beat Oliver in a playoff to win its way into the post-season titular fray Friday's tilt will mark the second time Peabody, coached by Dick Mevers, and the Tunnelites have clashed in a championship game. The teams met In a postseason battle in 1933 and Peabody won, 13 to 0 While City League followers are anxiously awaiting Friday's championship tussle. W. P. I.

A. L. fans eye the Important games ached uled this week as the title races near the finish line. The wffk'e outstanding contests will be the a k-Altoona meeting Saturday at Altoona and the Stowe Townshlp-McKees Rocks struggle at Stowe the same day. Another important game will be Masontowns meeting ith East Bethlehem Friday afternoon at Masontow n.

STOWE FACES TFST Altoona is leading the Class AA race and only Braddock stands In the way toward a perfect aeason and a position In the playoffs The Mountain Lions will be favored but may have their hands full as Braddock has proved Itself In winning stx out of seven AA game to date Stowe Is a leading contender for the Class A crown and will be meeting Us toughest test of the year in taking on Us traditional I rival. 8towewtll be assured a place in the playoffs against Tarentum If It wins over the Rox outfit Masontow Is trailing Sewick-ley and Cumberland Township, of Carmichaels. In the Class race but has a chance to get lrto the playoffs If It gets past Masontow safely. Sewlckley Is definitely In the playoffs and It Is a battle between Carmichaels and Masontown for the right to be Sewtrklrys opponent. The rece Is so close it probably will not be settled until after Thanksgiving Dav games are plaved as some of the teams defeated by the Mikes and Mason do not conclude their schedules until that date.

They are Coley McDonough and Elmer Bache, the former a triple threat ace and the latter a strong spot player who is used as auch only because he lacks weight and height, going only 140 pounds and tandlng 5 feet inches.

Against Miami University, last Saturday, McDonough, a lophomore, was credited with a punt that traveled 72 yards In the air and also chucked two passe good for 30 yards each. Bache, a junior, is even better as a basketball performer. Last season he was named as a forward for the AU-Ohlo second floor team and also made the Ohio Conference first team. Penn State Out to Upset Pitt Penn States football team has taken heart from the stand of Nebraska against Pitt and will come here next Saturday feeling It ha a chance to win, according to word from State College. The Lions will gamble for victory.

The Stale team, featuring a light, fat backfleld, has scored in everv game this season and has lost only to Cornell and Syracuse In terrific battles. 26 to 19 and 19 to 13 In Its last two games it has beaten Penn, 7-0. and Maryland, which downed Syracuse, which defeated Cornell, 21-14. It has totaled 128 points against 86 In seven games, and the Pitt game Is the last on Its schedule. The Nittany Lions have scored against Pitt In four of their last five games Last years score was 34-7 In Pitts favor, but the year before the Lions held the Panthers to a 9-0 tally, and, In 1930, the margin was only 19-12 A one State man put it, the seniors nn the Stale team are tired of making 'good showings' against PUt, and believe they're about due to win."
