The Dukes have the power and speed By JESS CARVER What gives promise of be ing one of Pitt's most brilliant necessary to make a fine ball club. Eventually they 11 give you an eyeful. football campaigns gets under way this afternoon out in the Panthers' Stadium as tlie Golden Cats try out their claws on one of the Middlt West's toughest Class college elevens, the Battling Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan. Several major teams in recent years have taken on the Bishops for what they fondly imagined would be mere openini? day, wnrm-up enEagements and wound up much in the position of the gent who grabbed the wildcat only to discover he couldn't let go. Much to their sorrow, such outstanding varsities as Michigan, Michigan State, Detroit and Syracuse have been cut down by the Ohioans, who go inio all football games primed to win and not merely to go through the motions.

msiiors READY Games at Early Stage WHILE GIVING THE major part of their attention to Pitt's opener today against Ohio Weslcyan, local football bugs were keeping a figurative eye on some games in other parts of the country. There was the big test of Minnesota against Washington out in Seattle. Colgate had to reckon with Duke, one of the strongest teams In the South, at Durham. Rice, coming here soon to meet Duquesne, was up against Louisiana State at Baton Rouge. Stanford was facing Santa Clara at Palo Alto.

And Hunk Anderson's North Carolina State eleven was expecting trouble from Davidson. Minnesota's Streak Periled MINNESOTA'S BATTLE WITH Washington holds national interest. The Gophers' long winning streak is in danger of being snapped. Bernie Bierman's powerful gridders have gone through three consecutive seasons undefeated. They have not lost a game since Michigan knocked them off, 3 to 0, in the final engagement of 1932.

In 1933, the Gophers came out with four wins and four ties In 1934. they won eight straight, though Pitt gave them a big scare before losing, 13 to 7. Last year the Biermans rang up eight more in a low. They have won 17 games in succession since their last tie in 1932 Coach George Gauthier, a really astute mentor, who teaches his teams hard, smart and well grounded football, brought -over three full squads of huskies yesterday. He has 'em in such fine trim that he passed up the usual Friday afternoon workout here, a unique, to say the least, move.

Dr. Jock Sutherland. Pitt's Silent Scot, has had his lads out for exactly 18 days, give or take a day or two, and generally is well satisfied with their condition and advancement. Generally, you'll note we said, for one or two i I i J' i i 1 fy.A'J I IT I Vr If- of the lads have not rounded into the shape the big Scotchman expects, nay, demands, while others have come along at such rapid 1 clips that they've injected themselves squarely into the Doctor's plan of things as concerns his first eleven. So nip and tuck have been the battles for several positions on the varsity that as late as yester day afternoon, after the final workout.

Jock actually was not able to make up his mind as to just how he'd send his team into action today. Indications were, however, that the eleven was destined to be di rected from the quarterback post bv Johnnv Michelosen, one of the three holdover quarterbacks from last year. A sophomore. Marshall Goldberg, hailing from Elkins, a hard-running, tricky, ag gressive youngster, who weighs in the neighborhood of 190 pounds, will go at. left half, with the vet eran Bobby Laitue starting at right.

STAPl'LIS MAY START Frank Patrick, who developed last fall into an outstanding tri BERNIE BIEKMAN I'nbcaten In Three Years, He's In Tough Spot Today Bierman's forces probably will be hard pressed to keep that streak going against such a strong opening opponent as Washington. The Huskies, who wound up last season by beating Southern California, after losing to Stanford, Oregon and California, look unusually promising this season. Jimmy Phelan has a veteran team that is well fortified at every position. In Elmer Logg he has the best kicker on the Pacific Coast. It's a machine that will not be stopped easily.

Minnesota is not to be sold short, however. The Gophers have lost some good men, but they have a wealth of replacements. Included are more than the usual number of good men for left halfback, the key position in the Bterman offense. Most fans will prefer to wait for the final returns before counting Minnesota as unbeaten. 'Bucs Rest Not BroU(jht Out A VETERAN FAN of the North Side writes that he agrees heartily on the point that Pirate rooters are fed up in seeing bright spring prospects go to smash when the going becomes tough in July and August.

He adds: "Trades have brought no great Improvement in the past, and I doubt that we can expert much along that line in the future. Our chief trouble seems to be that we fail to get the most out of the players we have. "Vaughan is a good player, but not a good shortstop. He might do better at third base. Brubaker should be shifted to shortstop.

Also, I think he ought to be dropped to seventh place in the batting order, Jensen plared at sixth, and Young tried as lead-off man. "In my opinion, Traynor rould have helped the elub many time ple-threat fullback, as well as one of the best at the position in the East, should start at the position, but the Gary ilnd husky is one of the ones who failed to round into shape and Bill of California, who also rates tri- ple-threa classification, likely wi.l get the call On the line, Frank Souchak, shifted from the left to the right wing in spring practice, will be paired off with another sophomore. Bill Daddio, of Meadvllle. Daddio wouldn't be in there as a starter if Paul Shaw didn't have troublesome eharley-horse. Tony Matisi and either Oeorge Delich or Arvell Daniell will hold down the tackle positions, with it.

Grid Pirates in Hardest Test TOMORROW YOU WILL get a real line on the grid Pirates. They are facing their hardest test in the big Sunday game with the SCIENTIFIC PREDICTOR Glassford and two veterans, at the guards and probably Don Hcnsley in at center. Hcinie Adams may be an eleventh hour choice for the snapper-back post. Although It would be possible for him to start 11 lettermen, Coach Gauthier found so many outstanding sophomores on his squad that his starting array is expected to have at lea.st four second-year men inclurifd.
