i I M- ment over that which was shown against Lafayette. Several tactical blunders were made in that contest which proved very costly, and the coaches have been trying ail week to make certain that the best play to use at certain times are thoroughly understood, so that there shall be no mi.xups in the Pitt contest. Graduate Manager Lavis of Pitt said last night that the of tickets for tomorrow conflict been very gratifying, and that inuieations point to a banner turnout. However, forties Field has not been tilled to capacity on a single occasion this fall, and there are plenty of tickets remaining unsold tor tomorrow's game to take care of all who may wish to attend. The Pitt freshmen leave today for Syracuse, where tomorrow they will oppose the Orange freshmen.

after getting on his teet to make a speech, sank into his chair with his head in his hands, and. a beaten man licked by the warmth of his friends' affections. The farewell dinner was given as a testimonial to the famous boxer ot the old days by his close friends. Choyn.sbi has been athletic in-strutor at the Pittsburgh Athletic As.SttCiation tor a number of years. Last night he sat in the renter of the speakers' table and heard many words of praise which to allect him.

but it was not until an unexpected presentation was to be made that the touching scene was staged. Tribute Moves Joe. Haniel Winters, president of Pittsburgh Council, brought about the climax at the end of his pretty address on the character and merit of the honored one. After enumerating the sterling qualities of Choynski, Winters proc'-cled to present Joe with a costly llks' tooth with gold chain attached. Choynski arose to accept the gift and there was a spontaneous demand for a speech.

Joe faced the crowded tables and showed unmiste kat. le signs of a terrific within. After standing silently for seveml seconds he finally hid his sobbing eyes in his ALIGHT signal drill this afternoon, probably followed by a blackboard drill tonight, will complete the preparation of the University of I'ittsburgn gridders for their game tomorrow at Forbes Field with Pete Reynolds' Bueknell aggregation. Anticipating a hard fight tomorrow, the Pitt coaches have overlooked no beta in the practices this week, and will send a fit and fighting outfit on the-gridiron tomorrow afternoon. Aggressiveness has been one of Pitt's strong points this season.

In the face of defeat, the Panthers have done their best fighting. In all probability they will Jhave to show this do-or-die spirit tomorrow to get through, for they realize that they are going up against a teai which is primed for victory, and does not intend to be denied, if it can help it. The Pitt team will be almost identically that which faced and defeated Syracuse last week. There will be one change in the backfield, Flanagan starting at halfback in place of Johnson, with Anderson alongside him. Te coaches have not yet decided whether to start Colonna or Hewitt at the fullback position, but, as was the case in the Orange game, it Is probable that both of these huskies will get a chance against the Lewis-burgers before the contest is over.

Colonna is noted for his fighting qualities, and is an excellent plunger. Hewitt is one of the best plungers in the business, and recently he has been displaying fighting qualtties which have enhanced his value to the team many fold. "Tiny" is a happy fellow, and it takes considerable to arouse him, but, when once mad, he is a regular football demon. The Bueknell team is due to arrive In the city this morning, and plans to hold a secret workout here this afternoon. The team ia in excellent condition, according to reports, and will present a stronger lineup against the Panthers than it was able to muster against Jock Sutherland an.l his 1-arayette crew a week ago.

Bueknell teels that it must not meet a second successive defeat this season, and is prepared to battle to the last ditch to avoid it. The famous Bueknell aerial attack will be much in evidence tomorrow, unless all signs go wrong, and it is also expecetd that the generalship of the Invaders will be a big improve r0we-l0efflerbeatt0wns-brand inhibition on Indiana course Jack Sack. By CHESTEH L. SMITH. one of the bett linesmen Panther history, and ranking today as an outstanding guard of the season.

it's a tough job for a lineman, especially a guard, to attract the attention of the average spectator, who watches the man with the ball, forgetting that in order for that player to advance there are certain things which must be done And upon the shoulders of the guards rest a big hare of the responsibility for this arduous task. There a-e two types of guards: The big, slow-moving kind who depend upon their bulk alone to hold and drive, and the smaller, more aggressive variety, who are successes because they outthink their opponents. Sack is of the last-mentioned species, although heXs no little fellow by any mt-ans, standing well over 6 feet in heurht and weighing close to the 1 mark. it is not disparaging to the other members of the Blue and Gold forward wall to say that Sack is the keystone of the line. He is playing his third season and has improved with each year until there are very few guardci anywhere his equal.

Special Telegram to The Gazette Times. Two City School Games Today; Allegheny Plays Westinghouse Tomorrow Reynold Work Bueknell Late. LEAVISBURG. Oct. 2fi.

SpecialsThe eve of the game with Glenn Warner's pitt Panthers found the Bueknell football teams working Inter and harder than usual. The stars had begun to twinkle before the squad of four full teams were sent to the showers, after a long signal drill in which the overhead attack was emphasized and efforts made to perfect the mass interference which Coach Reynolds- has endeavored to make effective for Saturday's fracas. Much improvement has been fnade in the work in those two departments of the game over the exhibitions which were shown in the last two games with the Navy and Lafayette. For the last two or three days Reynolds has been uncertain as to the men he will start in the backfield against Pitt, but because of the injuries of Hall and Kopp, in the Lafayette game, today? saw Iayhff calling the signals, Wils-bach and Jenkins running as the halfbacks and Denton at his old post at the fullback position. On the line all the regulars will be in their berths, from left to right as follows: Julian, Homan.

ends; Foster, quarterback Henning and Kopp. halfbacks; Ruetrich. fullback. Both the first and second teams, with Stewart and Johnson as substitutes, left Lewisburg tonisrht in a special sleeper, which is scheduled to arrive in Pittsburgh early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon the team will work out in Pittsburgh somewhere near the headquarters, which will be established at Schenley Park.

J. RYAN. will have to replay its game with Fifth Avenue and Westinghouse will have to play Schenley again, it is probable that a victory tomorrow-will instill the right spirit into the team capturing it. Peabody will remain a barrier to the Brushtonltes. but the latter seems able to win over their Fast End rivals regularly when something is at stake.

Butler-W ilkinsburg. A very important W. P. I. A.

L. game will be the Wilkinsburg-Butler game at Butler tomorrow afternoon. The Holy City partisans, several hundred strong, will go to Butler anticipating a tough battle, and Butler reasonably can be expected to give Wilkinsburg the hardest tight is has had this year with the exception of the Beaver Falls fray. Wilkinsburg will be strengthened by the return of four regulars, one of them Capt. Kiser.

who. it was feared, would be out several weeks on account of an injury to his nose. Wilkinsburg's cheer leader, it is said, will return. Fired by their victory over Cora-opolis last week end re-enforced by the acquisition of Ellom. a husky tackle, the Dormont High School squad is sitting pretty for its home tussle with the Holy Rosary gridders this afternoon.

With Ellom filling the gap in the line, Coach Simmons is enabled to shift Cooley and Saeger to the backfield. thus bolstering up the entire eleven. Iiormont is compiling a nice record in the South Hills, and if they trim the East Enders today, their stock will take another rise. Tomorrow Coach Foxy Miller's Vnion High eleven will be tested to the limit when it will stack up against Latrobe at Turtle Creek. New Brighton came to Turtle Creek last Saturday just a little overconfident and were swept off their feet, but Latrobe, while not overconfident, claim they have just as good a chance of winning as the home eleven and expect to surprise Union.

BILL KILLEFER IS REAPPOINTED FOR TWO YEARS By Ptsss to Gazstts Tims-1 HICAGO. Oct. 26. William Kille- fer of the Chicago Nationals tonight was reappointed mana ger of the Cubs for the seasons of 1923 and 1924 at the annual stockholders' meeting.

Killefer came to the Cubs in the winter of 1917, with his battery-mate, Grover Alexander, for JjO.OoO. After service in the Army during the World War, Killefer returned to the club, and succeeding John Evers as pilot about the middle of the 1921 season. The directors expressed themselves as satisfied with the showing of the young pilot the past season, his club having finished in fifth place, despite the fact that it had been handicapied for some time because of players injuries and illness. Thereappointment again gives the Cubs the youngest pilot in the majors, Killefer being aged 34. For the coming season he has a rosterof '40 young players from which ta select his club.

In addition to naming the manager, the directors re-elected all the, o'ci officers, William Veeck being president-treasurer, John O. Seys secretary and William M. Walker vice president. The directors adopted a resolution expression sympathy to Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago White Sox, on the death of his wife.

The match drew an unexpectedly large gallery, many in the crowd of several hundred coming from I'unx-sutawney.

Latrobe. Blairsvillo, Johnstown, Dilllown and I'atfon, where there are enthusiastic golfers aplenty. The department of the professionals game, which seemed to carry the greatest thrill to the gallery was the long hitting from the tee. The quartet vied with each other in giving the hall a long ride as they alternated in showing out in front. Charley liowe made the 5.ri5-vard second hole in a birdie 4 on each round, the second time nearly reach-in the erreen with his brassie second shot.

Fred Brand enme near to qualifying for membership in the Hote-In-1 Club by barely missintt holding his midiron shot to the uphill 160-yard fifth hole. The ball kicked a foot to (he riht of the hole where it stopped stone dead. Loeffler holed a 2 on this hole in the second round, but from the five -yard line, while Towns barely missed a half from a yard inside Loeffler. and Towns got away to a three-hole lead by virtue of a good putt by Kddie on the first green and a 4-4-2 by Brand a little later. The Oakmont pair reduced this lend to a single hole at the ninth and finally went out in front nt the fourteenth hole for the first time, from which position the Scots could not remove them.

The Indiana Country Club today celebrated its first open exhibition tournament. and four Pittsburgh professionals were honored with the privilege of playing a best ball four-ball match for the late season links entertainment. The players were Emil Loeffler and Charley Rowe of Oakmont, Kddie Towns of Shannopin and Fred Brand of the Allegheny Country Club. As on many former occasions of importance, Loeffler and Rowe teamed together against Brand and Towns, and as on other occasions, the Oakmont pair nosed out the Scotch combination, winning the 18-hole match by 2 tip. The Indiana Country Club, lying on the hillcrest only a five-minute ride from the city limits, is one of the most picturesque country club sites among many in te western part of the state.

He entered Pitt the year before the freshman rule was put into eff ect, and.

therefore, although he has played three seasons on the varsity, he Vtill has another year to go. He is the last Panther to be affected in this way by the freshman rule.

PLAID FEARFUL OF GROVE CITY AERIALATTACK NTIL. long after dark yesterday the Carnegie Tech football squad worke.t in preparation for the tough game in the Tartan bowl against Grove City tomorrow. There was a scrimmage with the freshies, just a short one for fear that some of the regulars would be injured, and the remainder of the period was spent trying out a defense against Grove City's forward passes.

Tech has every reason to fear the forward pass. It was just such a play that caused the Wash-Jeff game to result in a draw. Coach Williamson, hinvself a smart player while in College. has probably drilled his Grove City players all this week in an aerial attack calculated to cause the Skibos a whole lot of trouble. Coach StetTen is forced to place his strongest combination against the visitors and Capt.

Anderson, in spite of a recent injury, will be in at right halfback. is needed for his punting and defensive ability. Brumbaugh will also be back at fullback for part of the game. At Grove City this afternoon Carnegie Teeh's freshman team is booked to tackle the Grove City Reserves and a busy time is in store for the yearlings, who are to some extent crippled as Quarterback Christoff. who put up such a fine exhibition against the heavy Bellefonte Academy team last Saturday, is out for the season with a broken collar bone.

Tech scouts who watched Grove City in action last Saturday speak highly of the playing of Capt. Bible, Quarterback I.opemun and Halfback Keek, also the tackles. Fay and Pritchard, who each weigh close to 200 pounds, and the ends. Hall and Abrahams. The team is, aggressive, knows football and is a veteran aggregation.

The lightest man in the rush-line is Smith, the center, but he is a deadly tackier and a wonder on the defense. Tech will be forced to use everything it has to win this game and nobody realizes the importance of winning more than does Coach Wally StetTen. Grove City Lineup Shifted. GROVE CITY, Oct. 16.

(Special.) Severay changes have been made in the Crimson lineup by Coach Williamson since the game with Allegheny last Saturday. Thes changes have been made tn an effort to secure more speed, especially on th line. Some of the first-string men are in pretty bad shape, and cannot do themselves justice. Coach Williamson realizes that the Tech forwards are exceedingly rapid chargers, and he is making an attempt to offset this feature of -Tech's play by a rapidly charging line for Grove City. In the game two weeks ago with Befliany the line played better football than the backfield.

Last Saturday, with three first-string ne men in very poor shpe, the backfield seemed to play better ball. Should Coaches Williamson and Sop-pitt meet with success In their attempt to reorganize the line and get both backs and line playing at top speed tomorrow. Tech will indeed meet with a lot of opposition. However, the. coaches feel anything but optimistic about Grove City's chances.

Rob Thorn's reserve team will meet Coach Paul Heeler's reserve team from Carnegie Tech tomorrow afternoon at Grov City. Thee Grove City Reserves are exceedingly light but aggressive. Local Amateur Boxers In Intercity Tournament NICW YORK. Oct. 26.

They ar the South-Schenley setto on the Duquesne University campus and the Peabody-Fifth Avenue game at Pea-body field. Of the two the Fifth Avenue-Peabody is the more interest- ing for the reason that it probably i will be closer.

Schenley should run i rough shod over South, but the Up- tnwners may prove a hard nut for the i Dennis team to crack. The first game of real importance tn three weeks has been postponed from this afternoon to tomorrow afternoon. It is the Westinghouse-Al-legheny contest, neither of which teams has as yet been charged with a defeat. With both in the running for the city championship, a torrid battle should be dished out to scholastic grid followers. Westinghouse, last year's champion, will have the advantage of playing on its home grounds, D.

C. and A. C. Park, which brings the chance of winning to about tiM even thing, for Allegheny is thought to possess a slightly better balanced team. Barton's Team in Shape.

Coach' Burton right now has his eleven at its best after bringing it around slowly. A repetition of its showing against Schenley, when it wu trailing when the game was called. Is not expected in view of this. Burton probably will have a better organized football machine, but the eleven from the far side of the river win make up for this in inherent etrength. The teams are so evenly matched and in such a similar mental mood that nothing other than the breaks will decide the game.

Peabody and Schenley. the other defeated elevens, win have a distinct advantage in meeting easy foes this afternoon while Westinghouse and Allegheny are endeavoring to force one another out of the race. Both these teams will be forced to expose their entire repertoires, and consequently when Peabody or Schenley is met. the latter will be familiar with the style of play and know just what to expect It would not be surprising if the game tomorrow eventually turned out to be the champion-deciding battle Aithub if Allesheny win. It BATTLING SIKI 'BUSTS' JACK CURLEY'S DREAM OFFICIAL RECEIVES PRAISE FOR REVERSAL OF DECISION PuRilistie Impressario Possesses Contract for Car-pentier-dreb Match.

By DAMON RUNtON. trtr 'MTIVtt, Skktke NKW YOKK, tct 26. Jack Curley, the noted wrestling and boxing promotor. is back from Paris with a beautiful bronze statue of Georges Carpentier as a memory of a busted dream. Jack had secured Ceorges' slgnatur1 to an agreement to meet Harry Greb for the world's light heavyweight championship.

Then Battling crushed his way into the picture and all is lost, for the tune being, at least. Curley did not even wait over to see the Siki-Carpentier matter. In common with nearly everyone else in Paris, he figured it a perfunctory little transaction in the life of Georges Canentier. In fact, Georges told him it wouldn't go over a couple of rounds, one round for the pictures and the other round for the lickiiuc. The consternation of Jack Curley when he read of the result mav well be imagined.

says: "Pop Warner is bettin' three to one that Cornell cleans nn this year an' so far he's ooly found one sucker." By Associated Press N' FvV YORK, Oct. 26. The atten tion of football followers has, within the past few days, been focussed upon the work of big game officials as the result of the reversed decision in the Columbia-New York University contest last Saturday. The average spectator, particularly the one without previous playing experience, knows little, if anything, regarding the duties and responsibilities of the men who nave charge of what Is without doubt one of the hardest assignments in the catalogue of modern sport competition. It appears to be the general opinion among football officials that Referee Morice in the Columbia-New York U.

game, did the right and manly thing in later ruling that New York V. should have been credited with a safety, allowing two points and not a touchdown, thus making the final score 6-2 in favor of Columbia instead of 7-6 in favor of N. Y. V. While such situations are extremely rare in the history of football the fact remains that officials in such intercollegiate contests work under responsibilities and strain, seldom experienced by the arbiters in other prominent spoils er games.
