Duquesne University's tnam that came from 13 points behind to beat Pitt last Saturday will fare a big, hard-riding and passing squad of Texas Tech Red Raiders in their final night game of the sea son at Forbes Field tonight. A crowd of upward of 20,000 is ex pected, despite the rainy day. It is a tough psychological spot for the Dukes, a letdown after the tension of the Pitt game, and the Bluffites are hoping they won't find themselves letting down too Season Records IHUIKSNK 111.

On the Friday night following that conquest, they lost, 2-0, to West Virginia Wesleyan on the same gridiron on which they will perform tonight, and on the same heavy sort of a gridiron. 'BEAR The Texans have been here since yesterday morning and had a last roundup practice under the lights last night. They were preceded into town by stories of Injuries to several key players, which the Dukes have been taking as bear stories intended to throw them off their guard. They may be true, but the Dukes are willing to find out for themselves once the battle gets under way.

This is the third meeting between the intersectional rivals and the Dukes have yet to beat Coach Pete Cawthon's huskies. In 1937, the Texans won, 13-0, and last year, at Buffalo, the score was 7-6. The Dukes go Into tonight's game undefeated in four starts, while the Longhorns have won three games and lost to Texas Mines and Gonzaga. With the exception that Joe Unites probably will be at fullback in place of George Gonda, the Dukes' starting lineup will be the same as that which took the field against Pitt last Saturday and astonished the football world by winning, 21-13. Gonda injured a leg in that battle.

DANGEROUS PASSERS The Texans are noted for their dangerous long passing game and end sweeps. They defeated New Mexico University last Saturday, 19-7. The team, using the Notre Dame system of play, has scored 108 points In five games, an average of better than 21 per game, as against 79, an average of just less than 20, for the Dukes in four games.

In the roster you'll also find the usual flock of players from the Pittsburgh district Clyde Archer, a quarterback from Parkersburg, W. Bob Barker, an end from Erie; Thad Cassidy, a guard from Altoona; Joe DeFranco, another guard, from Weirton, W. Johnny O'Brien, an end from Swissvale; Joe Papa, a 'tackle from Kiski; Clair Rively, a tackle from Altoona; Charles O'Neill, a fullback from Midland, and Lou Zontini, the halfback, from Whiteville, W. Va.

And you'll find Bill Kerr still doing business at left end, Bill being the young gentleman who scored the touchdown that beat Tech in that Battle of the Wrong Down at, South Bend last year. Carnegie's Bill Kern is all even with Coach Elmer Lay-den at this writing. In his first year as mentor of the Plaid, in 1937, Sweet Willyum snatched a 9-7 game from the Irish at the Stadium on Coleman Kopczak's field goal in the third quarter, with the Irish leading, 7-6. Then came that 7-0 defeat at South Bend last year. Tomorrow anything can happen, in the light of Tech's poor play against N.

He declared: "The club is not for sale, the reason being I would want mure money for the Reds than any individual would be willing to pay." The statement was made from his sickbed in a hospital, where he is recovering from an injury suffered in a fall from a horse shortly after the Reds lost the world series to the New York Yankees.

Layden's only other comment was: "The situation is ripe for an upset and we will have to be on our guard." Both Tech and oNtre Dame are hoping the rain will let up before game time because each needs a fast field to run off its best plays. The rain cover was spread over the Starium turf last night. The Irish are fresh from their 14-7 victory over Navy at Cleveland last Saturday in which they revealed a smooth functioning attack which gained 419 yards against a meager 33 by rushing.

LOUIS, Oct. 27. (AP.) President Sam Breadon, of the St. Louis Cardinals, today predicted night baseball will be played generally around the National League in time, but it probably won't be next season for the Red Birds. Breadon made this forecast after noting that the New York Giants, long an opponent of night He aeennea to say wnnueiy, however, if any plans are contem- plated to install lights at Sportsman's Park, home of the Cardinals.

The last time the subject arose here club officials pointed out if a lighting system were installed it would be necessary to start work in the fall to have it ready for next season. No lighting plant work has been started at the field. Breadon was a pioneer in night baseball, the Cards' minor league farms being among the first to install lights. The Browns were among the first to suggest night ball for the American League, the present owners requesting the league permission to play uncier lights when they bought the club.

1934-1935-1936 Coach Elmer Layden saw his first three Notre Dame teams take the Tartans, 13- 0, 14-3 and 21-7. His 1935 team, the best he has had at Notre Dome, had to come from behind in the second half to win, 1937 Notre Dame had the ronsolHllon of ''winning (he statistics" while Tech capitalized on Us two scoring rlmnces for a Held riiiiI and a touchdown, to win. 9-7.

In 1930, the Irish National champions won, 20-6, but not until after Dutch Eyth, of Tech, had scored on a long run through the middle of the Notre Dame line.

Tech was the only team in 1930 to Quarterback takes ball from center and moves out toward left end. Suddenly he remembers he forgot to post a letter and so he hands the ball to the left halfback and asks him to take care of it until he gets back; he's going down to the corner to look for a Are alarm box Into which to drop the billet doux. The left half says he'll be glad to be a good fellow and look after things while the quarterback's gene and he runs back wide to the right. When he gets out past his right end, his right hand Is burning and he looks down and sees that the quarterback, sly fellow, has slipped him a hot pigskin, a variety of the hotfoot, so he decides to get rid of the darn thing and throws It up the field as far as he can. The right end is on to the gag, and, after running straight ahead a piece, detours to the left side of the field, fearful that the ball will explode.

The left end, however, being taken In on the trick, meanwhile has gone down and crossed over to the point where the right end ordinarily would be on a pass play and gets his fingers burned as he catches the ball for a long gain or a touchdown. But It's all In fun, and what's a burned meat hook If it's for the sake of Alma Mater? You can't tell from the diagram whether the other guys are In on It or not. but this is what they do: The left tackle blocks the right guard, the center and right tackle take out the defensive left guard, the rlnht guard whips out and checks the defensive left tackle as he charges in. The left guard moves over to handle the defensive end. It's a simple mailer for the other team to stop the play.

All It has to do is to slop It. And don't forget, the Dukes are playing Texas Tech at Forbes Field in their last night game tonight and, if you didn't see them beat Pitt last Saturday, you can see them now. All out for a big hand for our fair city's only undefeated college team! The Gclchell Flay One of the highlights of the 1938 football season was the Incident of the Wrong Down In the game between Carnegie Tech and Notre Dame at South Brnd which led to the only touchdown and a 7-0 victory for the Irish. The play created a National sensation and stigmatized Referee Johnny Getchcll as the perpetrator of a "bonelipad" derision. Here's how it happened, The teams were locked In a scoreless tie In the fourth quarter.
