Members of the Eightieth and other divisions who took part in both fights declare that tbe fire of early morn, November first ranked with the "show" of September 26. Throughout the night of Halloween the long distance guns had been sending over their damaging shells, but precisely at 3 o'clock on the first day of November, the heavens were aflame and the earth rocked with the light and force of the terrifying shells that whistled over the heads of thousands of Doughboys who were awaiting the word to jump off. The boys of the Pittsburgh outfits, the Three Hundred and Nineteenth and Three Hundred and Twentieth were laying in a position between the Donghboys of the Sev- enty-seventh and Second Divisions.

Oct. 31. A patched up lineup will represent the University of Pittsburgh in its foot-ball game against Lehigh Univer sity of Pittsburgh in its Tootball game ag-ainst Lehigh University at South Bethlehem, tomorrow afternoon. Coach Glenn Warner of tbe Panthers announced here to-nght upon the arrival of the squad from Pittsburgh en route to the scene of the game. The party will spend the night here and leave immediately after breakfast in the morning for South Bethlehem.

A Jarge squad of players has been brought on the trip and most of them will get a chance to play. However, regulars will be conspicuous mostly by their absence, and if Lehigh, which has one of the best seasons shows any- thingat ail like real class, a reverse for (the Pittsburgh aggregation should r.ot prove a great surprise to the folks back home. Capt. Jimmy Dellart is with the party, but will not start and probably will not get into the game at any stage, as he has a very bid ankle. Lou Mervis, the star tackle, is in a hospital in Pittsburgh recovering from injuries received in the Georgia-Tech and preceding games, and McCrory and Jim Morrow also did not make the trip.

McLean will be missing from his guard position, as he is not in shape to play. Warner said tonight that he contemplated starting two ends who have not been regulars, McDonald at left end and Brown at right. Harmon will be able to play at left tackle, but Bond will be shifted from right guard to right tackle to fill Mervis' shoes. Kratzer will start at left guard in place of McLean and Meaner will jump in at right guard to plug the hole left by the shifting of Bond. Stein will be in his usual place at center.

and Harmon will be the only regulars in their proper positions on the line from end to end and Bond will be in a PITT FRESHMEN TO PLAY NORMAL Ths University of Pittsburgh Freshman eleven this afternoon at 2:30 will line up against the Indiana Xormalites at Forbes Field. Great interest has been manifested in Pittsburgh in the contest, and in addition to supporters of the two schools a large number of unattached football fans will show up at the Oakland stadium to witness the fray-many of them for the express purpose of looking over Pitt's new flash, Tom Holleran. Coach Andy Kerr of the Panther Cubs will have a stronger lineup this week than last, for Williams, the former Kiski tackle, will be in shape to play. The star backfield Holleran. Byers, Hendrian and Hewitt will be intact.

Word from Indiana is that all the Normal's cripples are in good shape, the eleven had a good week of practice, and is strengthened by the acquisition of Creighton, former varsity-man, who will appear at center.

The reason for this makeshift lineup is plain. Warner is keeping 2va cripples out to give them a chance to get into as good shape as possible for the battle with AV. and J. at Forbes Field next week. Even if the Panthers should sacrifice today's game, it would be worth it to win the battle with the old rival from Little Washington next Saturday, Indications are that game will be played on a heavy field.

The Pitt party left Pittsburgh in driving rainstorm at 1 o'clock this-afternoon, and arrived in it here, too. As South Bethlehem is not far is taken for granted that the playinc field there did not escape from the general drenching.

Lehigh does not view a wet field to play on tomorrow with a.s much favor as a dry one. DouglasJ and Henzelman, it was determined today, will not get a chance to play tomorrow except in a pinch.
