(JP) Theyre at it again in the southwest cattle country, where wholesale use of the forward pass was made fashionable in modern football few years ago. Not since the days of Davie OBrien and Sammy Baugh have Southwest teams tossed the ball around so much, and with so much success.

American football statistical bureau figures, broken down by sections, show the offense-minded southwest leading the countrys other six football regions in scoring, total offense, forward passing and high percentage on conversion after touchdowns, .715. The southwest totaled only 95.2 yards average per game in the air last year, but that was good enough to lead the nation. This year, the region during the first half of the season has rolled up a 105.2 yard average, far ahead of second place southeast, which has 77.5. The middlewest still is the nations football powerhouse, continuing to rank first as a rushing section; the southeast continues its superiority as a punting region; and the far west, ranking low offensively, conversely shapes up as the strongest defensive section. The figures: Scoring: Southwest, 15.8 points per game per team (fifth last year); southeast 15.3, middlewest 14.4; east, 13.3; Rockies, 13.1; midlands, 12.8 (first last year at 14.20) far west, 12.2.

Deflation Elation Hits Panther Athletic Board Pittsburgh, Nov. 11. (JP) A Pitt spokesman declared today the Panthers got religion permanently when, they hit the de-etnphasis sawdust trail and pointed to' the stunning upset of Fordham as vindication of their elation over deflation. James (Jimmy) Hagan, Pitts' director of athletics, took the Fordham victory as occasion to deny rumors that the Panthers merely were laying low until their subsidization sins were washed away. 1 Pitt will return, to the powerhouse days of yore only if the Panthers can the heights without benefit of high-pressure subsidization, said Hagan, adding: If a good football' player comes to our campus well welcome him -with open arms but we are not going out in search-for talent.

We are satisfied with our present athletic program here, and we feel that Pitt will have representative teams under it. Again Hagan turned to -the Fordham game as a case in J'We had been beaten five straight times, he pointed out. Yet that victory touched off the greatest student celebration in our history. I hate to Imagine what would have happened back in the old days among vlctpry-sated students we been in Fordhams shoes. We hope to be better next year, Hagan declared, but whatever improvement we show will be a natural one, perhaps aided by the loyalty of ex-Pitt men now coaching in high schools who try to send their boys to their alma mater.

A quick perusal of the Pitt freshmen football roster showed that all of the hopeful prospects were from high schools In the Pennsylvania mining and industrial district, long regarded as one of the nations best incubators for football talent.

OHearn, heading the citizens committee, stated that complete arrangements for the game Friday had been made for a 2 oclock starting time and that Helena fans were cordially invited to attend the contest which should be onb of the most thrilling spectacles ever played at Ihe Broadwater county high school stadium.

Army Air Corps to play this game but must fly to Randolph Field, to become a flying cad9t tomorrow His final play of the game, fittingly, was a touchdown, however, as inspiring as was Slngens work, this sixth triumph of the unbeaten, untied Tigers was essential a team triumph. The two ends, A1 Ritchie and Dale Peterson, helped earn it by the way they rushed the Greeley State kickers and passer. Henry Elkins was so valuable at tackle he played nearly the entire game and guard Lou Miller snared a Greeley fumblo that led to C.
