By JAMES J. LOXfi Ainerk Loss IBIoi ONLY THREE-DAY REST PITT fl BMTPH fillPIf FWFC13 HTIPP REGARDLESS OF LAST night's defeat at Boston in the second game of the schedule, Pittsburgh's new pro football team in the American League must be said to have made a most encouraging start. jam An even break on the road isn't bad at all. And in both contests the work of the Amerks was of a grade to indicate that Dick Guy's new team is a good one and that Rudy Corn-stock has done a nice job of coaching.

Playing away from home wasn't the only handicap. It is not to over PANTHERS END HARD WORK FOR FRAY Hard work for the inter-secfional ba'tl" with Ohio State at Columbus Saturday is over and done with as far as the Pitt Panthers are concerned, and they looked that on account of bad weather which caused postponements in Syra cuse last week, those hist two games 1 II had to De piayeu witnin a spite ui fc only four days. Peiiorrmng in Syracuse aunuay anrj in Boston Wednesday, a team RlDVumKh that had had only three days' rest Doinff wrll a C'oarh actually was giving a highly creditable account of itself in holding the fresh Shamrock to a 16-7 score. Everything considered, the Amerks, held up in practice and development by travel and bad weather, have made a very satisfactory beginning. They deserve a warm welcome when they open the home season at Forbes Field Sunday afternoon against the strong New York Yankees.

It will be the Amerks' third game in eight davs. Incidentally, the new local pros bring home a special mark of distinction. It develops that in the sensational finish which beat Syracuse they established what is believed to be stand ready to sink or swim on the preparations they've bnen able to complete for the game. The foremost hope out at Pitt is. of course, this: -Oh.

that the ends bold up!" A long, hard drill yesterday wound up the Panthers' rough work for the tame, which is expected to n'tract a crowd of more tlipn 75.000 fans to Ohio State's fine stadium Coach Sutherland gave his squad a thorough workout yesterday, touching on all departments of play. The slippery practice field didn't exactly tickle the Pitt mentor, but there wai r-iw' a new record lor scoring time. First Platukis made a touchdown on a line play. Following ithe next kickotf the Amerks swept down the field and Snyde went through the line 12 yards for another score. Came another kickoff, and immediately Bender grabbed tiass and ran 25 vards.to cross the eoal line.

Right after the next kickoff, Snyder intercepted a pass and scored on a 55-yard run. The last three touchdowns were made in 2 minutes and 22 seconds, official time. Officials of long experience say no help for the matter, so ho and lads made the best of it. PLANS OFFENSIVE GAME Realizing the hocus-pocus, wide-open attack employed by the Buckeyes is tricky enough to break out in a touchdown rash at any moment, given or otherwise. Coach Sutherland is set to counter with an offensive of his own.

In other words. Jock's battle plans for Saturday call for strictly an offensive game. He's going to turn on the attacking spigot and leave it on. What a ball game that should make! His scouts having reported that' Ohio's safety men are liable to run this is a record.

After coaching for a time at Michigan State, Young retired to the directorship, as more befitting his age and increasing weight.
