Panthers Given Hlflh Rank, i Cuyler Slated lor Trade, LUCAS APPEARS WORTH THIS STIFF PRICE SPORT pin James COMMENT Ld 4 When the playing value of Tony Pitt is considered, the Pittsburgh baseball club would appear to have paid a stiff price for Red Lucas and Wally ftoettger in giving up such a good an(l baserunner as the Pirate sec- 1 1 ond baseman, in addition to Adam I Comorosky.

Roettgcr, obtained only to protect the Bucs with an extra outfielder who hits righthanded, alternating in reserve duty with Forrest Jensen, is by no means a front-rank player, but may be as serviceable as Comorosky, though much slower, and can hardly fail to pay more attention to business. That nar-rows the deal down to a trade of Piet for Lucas, and though, as already remarked, the price is a stiff one, when you consider how urgently the Bucs needed another first-class pitcher, such a flinger as Lucas would have been 11? vi 1 i-1 -7 Red Euras ROBL, RK O'BRIEN, RT DKBl'S, RG MEIFR, BISHOP, LG COPPI.E.

Si Johnson would have been more acceptable, on account of being a younger hurler who will last longer, but you can't get any particular player when the other club won't give him up, and in obtaining Lucas, President Benswangcr and Manager Gibson appear to have made the best move possible under the circumstances. To be a pennant contender, the local club just had to get another capable starting pitcher, and you can't get a good pitcher without giving up something of value in exchange for him.

It would be hard to find the equal of Red, who is a fine hitter besides, among all the hurlers with whom other clubs in the league are willing to part. He ought to take a new lease cf life here, after a slight falling-off with a tailend team for which no pitcher could win, and in that event he will be one of the most valuable slabmen in the big show. There isn't a club in the majors that wouldn't be glad to have Lucas on its roster, and, everything considered, the Pirates' go-getting president and manager appear to have swung a good trade that will help the Filling the second-base hole may look like a problem, but the Bucs got along very well without Piet for many weeks last season, and there is a reasonable prospect that a satisfactory guardian of the keystone sack will be found in Thev-enow, Lavagette, or Young, or possibly a new man to come later. The main thing to be considered is that the Bucs reeded another first-class starting pitcher vitally, and they've got him.

The Columbia coach says that while it was unfortunate Pitt lost to Minnesota, there is hardly a doubt in his mind the Panthers are equally as strong as Army.

They won't forget that, those Huskers. There is, however, one point the Huskers must not overlook.

Pitt has lost only two November games in nine years, one to Ohio State 1 and one to Wash -Jeff. Tough as the Panthers are at all times, they are doubly, yea. triply, so in November. SAl'ER BICi STAR Jaway will bark I shortly before Bobby McLean i i im VJRITTBN FDR MR RlPLW PRIVATE LANGUAGE CREATED MpBLF today's games, that "if the Panthers are able to win over Ne-braska and Carnegie Tech, it is going to be some job fairly to decide which team, Pitt or Army, is Number One."

This is another case showing bow unfairly all America rankings may work out. California critics express the opinion that either Corbus or Rosenberg will be disappointed, as "both guard positions cannot be awarded to the coast."

ANDERSON STANDS PAT ON LOSING LINEUP Less stolid minds might become panicky under the circumstances, but Hunk Anderson today calmly makes it known that for Notre Dame's remaining games he will stand pat on the lineup that has been defeated an unprecedented four times in a row. And you can't beat the reason Anderson gives for his stand-pat policy. He says that if changes would have done my good he would have made them long before now. Hunk declares that the men he is using are the best Notre Dame has for every position, and that every one of them is giving his best efforts. Anderson also takes occasion to pay a tribute to the Notre Dame students for their loyalty to a losing team, CUB BOSSES PLANNING TO TRADE CUYLER While no steps in that direction were reported from the conferences of major league men held during the minor league convention in Galveston, which ended yesterday, it is learned from reliable sources that the Chicago National League club plans to trade Outfielder Kiki Cuylcr if He did.

Masterson rates second to Sauer' as a ground gamer, but he's not far behind, certainly not Jar enough to ease the minds of the Panthers. The Nebraska attack is an open one. with a pm of a repertoire of passes. The Huskers employ the lateral pass with proficiency, too. Against outlay of strength, Pitt will throw its powerful line, probably the strongest in the East: a fullback who'll give Sauer all he wants in the way of a ground gaining duel in Izzy Wein-stock.

a hard-hitting, aggressive halfback in Howdy O'Dell and. if possible, the tricky stepping, speedy Mike Sebastian. Mike is suffering froom a badly bruised side, suffered in the Duquesne game last week, but he's fit to go if necessary. And it looks like said necessity might arise. PITT LINE TO! Gil Good as the Huskers undoubtedly are, they'll have trouble running Hsainst the Pitt line, arainst which no tram has cam-paiened with any great success this fall.

In the closing minutes of the game, with no score on either side, East Fairmont elected to punt from near its own coal. The kick was blocked and recovered in the end zone, But the rcierce. Ben Kahn, could not decide who had recovered the ball. The pigskin apparently was caught at the same time by two rival players, both of whom had firm grips on the ball when time was called If Kahn ruled that it was Fairmont's ball the irsutt would be safety and a 2-0 seme: if Mur-ganiown was awarded the ba'l. a touchdown would go with it.
