When Wes Feiler, the new Panther coach, took over out at Oakland he introduced a new defense in district foot ball, consisting of a 5-4-2 setup, which has proved hard to crack with both running and passing plays. The four men immediately behind the line give him two men on end sweeps and four men to plug holes infhe line. The two men farther back cover the passes, playing the ball and not the receiver in zone fashion.

Instead of trying to cover all the men who go down the field they watch for the flight of the ball and rush to that spot. 1 I yw7 s-m 3 Grid Select-cGraph lf Tittle A nfW ooibM Select -o-Graph will appear In tomorrow's lOII 111111 llPj JibHJ UMI nfPtLtl Dll 11 Sundsy S-Tel'iraph.

This total includes the A A i Notre Dame game, when Johnny BO McMILLIN Lujack was in there pitching; sidering the fact that in the main the Pitt backs lack ex. ceptional speed the record is better than good. The best interception record by a Pitt team was last year's when a dozen were caught in the first four games, eight of them against Bethany, and 17 across the season's play. That season record is certain to be bettered this year and if Marquette isn't careful it may be passed today. Marquette thus far has completed 57 out of 108 passes, for a better than .500 record, which is phenomenal.

It threw five for touchdowns against Idaho last Saturday, often passing three times in a series of downs. Well, fellows, go on and throw 'em. Our outfielders will be on their ponies to go and get 'em. Jack Henry RecaJs a Happy Occasion A note on the desk from Jack Henry, recalling that Geneva 16-7 victory over Harvard 20 years ago, the anniversary of which will be celebrated when the Covenanters play Bethany at Beaver Falls today: "Pardon me while I reminisce. For a guy who has trouble remembering what happened yesterday, looking backward 20 years Is no easy Job, but I'll never forget that particular day, nor will anyone else in Beaver County who was Interested In Geneva that year.

"I was a student in Beaver Falls High School at the time and covered scholastic sports for Johnny Bay of the Tribune, who later became a U. S. attorney. As 1 recall, we put out an extra that day, but it was a waste of time writing about schoolboy contests as everyone in the area-was concentrating on Geneva's invasion of Harvard. "The victory of Bo McMlllln's henchmen took the country by storm.

Twice before McMillln had plagued Harvard, as the quarterback for the Centre College Praying Colonels, and newsmen weaved fanciful yarns of how history had repeated Itself. "When the big Eastern writers recovered from their oppose Frank Murray's air-minded Hilltoppers from Marquette University. Kickoff is at 2 o'clock and expectations are that a crowd of upward of 25,000 will attend. Football Scores By tht ANxntMntrd Prt COLLEGIATE Pitt Lineup Hornets Oppose New Haven Six By PAUL a SULLIVAN Large Lynn Patrick herds hii rugged Ramblers of New Haven into The Gardens tonight to engage Pittsburgh's hopeful Hornets in the second local contest of the American Hockey League campaign. Play begins at 8:30.

they tried to laugh off the upset by referring to Geneva as a collection of professional stars. In fact, one fellow whose name I shall withhold dashed off a lead which went something like this: Tucked away In the foothills of the Alleghenies is Beaver Falls, the home of a professional football team called Geneva and a unique prize fighter named Slggy Geneva's Greatest Team "To Geneva fans every knock was a boost. McMillln and his boys, among them Cal Hubbard, the Dainty Dinosaur, were idolized at every turn. Almost everything that has happened at Geneva in football since then has been practically anticlimax. "People who ordinarily Ignored football became converted overnight into rabid Geneva fans.

I know in my own home my dad suddenly started to talk in hushed tones about MeMHlln's spread formations and bought himself a pennant to lug around to Geneva' remaining games. Since he had spent most of his 70 years in England, he always was puzzled as to why there weren't 15 men on a side as In English rugby, but he was willing to settle for the 11 men McMillln fielded every Saturday. So was everyone else, including Bo. "When Bo was In Pittsburgh last fall, he revived many stories about the '26 team' and it was his fond belief that, given such a team, he could take Army apart. Some may laugh at this, but Bo will find many who believe that Mr.

Hubbard, for instance, would have made a wreck of Mr. Inside (Doe Blanchard) and Mr. Outside (Glenn Davis), to say nothing of Mr. In Between (Arnold Tucker)." Pickup Alans the Sport Trail A series that featured the lush '20s will be resumed at Easton today when Heinle Luecht's W. Lafayette.

Columbia, Army In Headliner NEW YORK, Oct. With the baseball season finally completed, football takes over the country's sport pages today with the spotlight shining on the Tennessee Alabama clash, and the Texas-Arkansas meeting and the Army-Columbia battle.

The Crimsan Tide and the Volunteers, both unbeaten, meet at Knoxville with the winner anticipating little difficulty the rest of the way jn winning the Conference title and a possible bowl invitation. The West Point Cadets take on Lou Little's unbeaten Lions at Michie Stadium in attemDtinir to stretch their consecutive win streak to 23 games and Coach Earl Blaik's Marauders are 20-point favorites to come out on top. The Texas Longhorns. second to Army in the national rank ings, battle the once-tied Arkatt sas Razorbacks at Austin, in its Southwest Conference opener. In the Midwest, the center of attraction again is at Ann Arbor, the Wolverines, who dropped a close tussle to Army last week, tackle the un beaten Northwestern Wild Cats.

On the Pacific Coast, the in terest is divided between the U. L. A. Bruins California clash and the Oregon-Washing ton Mate engagement. Other attractions are found at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, where the Ivy League powerhouse, Pennsylvania, hooks up with once-tied Virginia and at Baltimore Stadium where Navy vies with a once-deadlocked North Carolina eleven that is sparked by "Choo Choo" Justice.

Georgia, another undefeated Southern squad, will battle a tough Oklahoma A. M. machine at Athens, Ga. after a lapse of six years. The series is even at two ties and nine wins for each team.

The first game was played in 1898 Back in 1922, the rivals made history when, as the first two out-of-town teams to play each other in New York, they packed 45,000 fans into the Polo Grounds and treated them to a thriller in which the Jeffs came from 13-0 behind at the half to win, 1413, with Greasy Neale coaching W. J. and Jock Sutherland Lafayette. Their 1930 game was played indoors in the Atlantic City Auditorium.

is In some quarters Pitt remains a one-touchdown favorite, but other dopesters who base their opinions on the brilliant passing record of the visitors are terming the contest a tossup. MURRAY CHANGES LINEUP Ray Marquette's "Davey O'Brien," holds the second best passing percentage in the nation, but may not be in the starting lineup. This isn't because he has lost any of his effectiveness, but because the regular quarterback, Billy Pol czynski, has recovered from in juries. Before being hurt, Pol czynski compiled a passing record which still nets him fourteenth place in National rankings. Furthermore, at 185 pounds, he has a 35-pound ad vantage over Royten.

Murray, has indicated he may make several other changes in his starting lineup because of injuries. He may give Schultz the nod at left tackle over Jan causkas, Hollenbeck the pivot berth in place of O'Malley, Pa- lesse the right end assignment instead of Carlson and use Mc-Glone and O'Hagan instead of Plate and Kero at halfbacks. The cautious Panthers, however, are wary of stories regarding Mar quette injuries and won't be sur prised if these originally named to start see a great deal of action. TEITT TO START Coach Fesler of Pitt has made two switches in his starting backfield, electing Carl DePas-qua to begin the game at quarterback in place of Bimbo Cec- coni and Bobby Teitt to move into the fullback slot to relieve Matt Gebel. The latter has joined trainer Howard Waite's hospital list because of a head injury.

For the second straight week Bob Plotz is an uncertain starter at right tackle, so his understudy, Wilbur Forsythe, is standing by for the. call. Cross-country enters the local collegiate picture today with two meets booked for the Schenley Park course.

DUKES, SKIBOS SCRIMMAGE Yesterday the Carnegie Tech and Duquesne University grid- ders engaged in their second! practice skirmish of the season, providing a two-in-one threat for a few hundred spectators in the Tech Bowl.

Coaches Donohoe and Sinko fielded two separate squads and kept two scrimmage sessions going simultaneously, The workout was beneficial to the Skibos, who are booked for a night game against Geneva at Beaver Falls next Friday. Russ Skinner, Tech's first- string fullback, who missed last Saturday's opener with Oberlin because of a leg injury, has returned to the squad and partici pated in yesterday's drill. I Pus. L.E. (I.

In Bill Juzda, Jack Church and Lloyd Ailsby, the Easterners offer a defense trio that certainly has seen the elephant and heard the owl in a hockey way and Ott Heller likewise has been around long enough to know the score without reading it in the paper.

Keiser, the methodical putter from Akron, will enter to morrow's final 18 holes with a two-stroke margin over Dick Mete of Chicago, and Chick Har-bert of Farmington, Mich.
