By T()3l AXDKRSOX, SiafT Correspondent. Special Telegram to The Gazette Times WORLD SERIES SKETCH FOR TICKETS Downtown folks yesterday saw a World Series sidelight with Spalding sporting goods store as the storm center. The cause of the scramble grew out of the announcement that the Pitt football authorities would place about 8.000 general admission tickets on sale at 9 a.

m. Throe hours earlier a line began to form and when the sale started the prospective buyers were in single formation from the store out to Sixth on Wood, up Sixth to Smithfield and then part of the way over to Liberty. The crowd was in a dandy humor and the attendant cops had little work to do. Among the first to gather were two girls. The sale was restricted to two tickets to each person.

Some attempts at speculating were made, but brought little success as most of the purchasers bought with the idea of seeing the game. The Pittsburgh Railways Company announced yesterday that every available car would be placed in operation to take care of the fans. In order to avoid downtown congestion, a special line of cars will run from the City-County Building between 11 a. m. and 2:30 p.

running out Forbes street to Forbes field. The Wash-Jeff students as they arrive this morning will parade from the Fourth Avenue Station to the Fort Pitt Hotel, but there will be no downtown parade immediately proceeding the game. ens on Edge and in By HARRY KECK, HE biggest football game of the season will be played at Forbes Field this afternoon before a record crowd. Fitt and Wash-Jeff, those two ancient rivals, will be the principals, and half the persons who would like to witness the game will not be able to get into the park. The attendance should run at least 35.000, and ill be limited only bv the capacity of the stadium.

I i 4 THACA. X. Nov. 7. The Carnegie Tech football squad arrived here at noun today, cocky and confident of giving Cornell a sound beating tomorrow in its own backyard.

Coach Stcffens men expect to take full advantage of the slump of the Red and White griddcrs and gain revenge for two previous defeats. SteiYen gave his proteges a long workout on thc gridiron this afternoon. The punters had a long siege and Loomis was drilled Pitt is favored to win, although it was beaten-, 24 to 3, by 1 TIGERS CONFIDENT THOUGH CRIMSON IS PICKED TO WIN in lifting the pigskin over the bars by the drop kick route, showing that the Techites are planning if necessary to avail themselves of ever' known method of administering the drubbing on which they have set their hearts. Syracuse, and Wash-Jeff defeated Syracuse, 13 to 0, the follow- i day before its invasion of Syracuse and was "off" for its battle with the Orange, while Syracuse was, on edge for Pitt and was not primed for W. and J.

It Is the old story of no coach orj coaches being able to keep a team keyed up week after week. Unquestionably both Pitt and Wash-Jeff are right in the "pink" for toflay's game.

Nov. 7 The West Virginia University football team arrived here at 3 o'clock this afternoon in good condition for tomorrow's game with Centre College. Dodging a crowd of spectators gathered nt Laidley Field to watch their workout, the squad was whisked away in cars to Kanawha Park where a light workout was staged behind closed gates. The workout was brief, a signal driff of 10 minutes, followed by King and Martin kicking and catching some punts, was the main feature of the program, which was directed by Coaches Fuller and Shelton in the absence of Mclntire.

Pitt will have its full strength, with the possible exception of Mervis at right tackle, and if he is not able to play Bond will shift over from guard and fill his shoes, as he did last Saturday, and Meanor and McLean will start at the guards.
