SECTION THREE PAC THE PITTSBURGH SUNDAY POST, NOVEMBER 23, 1919. HONS AND PANTHERS TO CLASH NEST THUR ANCOENT RIVALRY BETWEEN RaOUNTAINEERS AND W. J. AT HIGH PITCH THURSDAY SB AY I PENN STATE'S COACHING STAFF1 8QIA eF.BETEfiflU it AC ft With All Reserved Seats for Contest Sold, An other Capacity Crowd Is Expected Panthers Will Be in Best Shape of Season for Annual Clash, WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.

Washington and Jefferson has met West Virginia 17 times in football. The eighteenth clash at Morgantown next Thursday afternoon promises to be one of the most bitterly contested of all. More, perhaps, hinges on the result of this struggle than on any of Its predecessors. Both teams have een eliminated as contenders for the sectional championship by Pitt, but both have achieved success elsewhere that leads their followers to believe that the Pitt Panther is no better than either, Tnis e-uccess in other fields means that either team, if It wins, will take a high rank In the rating of the conege elevens of the East. W.

with its splendid victory over Syracuse, a team that 'smothered Pitt and after defeating Brown and Rutgers, uui.e and smote the hitherto undefeated Colgate eleven an aggregation that was being acclaimed the Eastern champion. Syracuse since last Saturday has been given- by many the topmost rank among the eastern teams. West Virginia following its stumble at Forbes Field turned eastward and trampled the Princeton Tiger to the tune of four touchdowns to nothing, a feat that is significant not only because of the size of the score, but because of Princeton's later tie with Harvard and victory over Yale. Then the Mountaineers' impressive victory over Rutgers stamped AFTER SIX LONG, LEAN YEARS lMT. ITT ANY TEAM LOOKS BEST that is not to he discounted.

For the past week, whhe preparing for West Virginia Wesieyan touay. Morrow has been working indefatiably to strengthen the defense against the West Virginia forward pas attack and It Is hoped that Captain Rodgers and his men wiil find the going harder next Thursday than any they have hitherto encountered.

J. will have only two days fo-" lowing today's" struggle with West Virginia Wesieyan to get in trim for th ail-imporiaiii clash with the Mountaineers as Graduate Manager John H. Murdoch, has announced that the Presidents wiil leave Washington Wednesday morning and go direct to Union-lown. The nnal practice in preparation for the game wiil be held on tho West Virginia University gridiron on Wednesday afternoon. As a result of the short time between the two games.

Head Coach Morrow will utilize every available minute in getting his proteges ready for the husky Mountaineers and developing a defense for their bewilder-1. ing forward pass attack. W. J. will be accompanied to Morgantown by a large foi-owing of sup- -porters.

Washington will send a Oi eoniingent while Red and Biack enthusiasts from various sections of West- em Pennsylvania and West Virginia will go there by automobile and train. Every member of the W. J. varsity squad will go to Morgantown for the game that will ring down the curtain. Among them will be Temp.eton, the big freshman guard who waa injured eariy in the season and never got into another game, and Tom Slerck, center on the 1918 eleven who never even got.

chance to get into a varsity contest this year before fracturing a bone in his ankle and being kept on the side lines since. Their absence weakened the Red and Black in point of substitutes if no other way. Sterck is light but aggres- sive and a heady player, while Temple-ton had already shown his worth, bled after he had gone over the line, thus preventing a tie. W. J.

has always felt chagrined over that defeat for, in spite of its weak attack, it feit it had as good a team as that sent out by Coach Mclntire. This feeling is apparent without detractins from tne Mountaineers' victory lor they won and that's what counts. But the Presidents are particUiarlv anxious this season to retrieve that slip of W17 and they can be depended upon to work as hard as they have done in any contest this year. Next to Pitt the Red and Biack would rather win from West Virginia than any team in the country; and it is doubtful this year whether a win over the Panthers would have caused any more jubilation than one over the Mor-. gantown eleven next Thursday.

In tact, since Pitt defeated the Presidents the tatter's sole ayrf has been to defeat the Mountaineers. Presidents Ready. Washington and Jefferson should have in its full strength against Coach Mc-Intire's proteges, unless some of the men are hurt in the game today with West Virginia Wesleyan. If. the men are all intact the team will be the same that played such remarkable bail at Syracuse and defeated the bis and powerful Orange eieven.

Henry, held out of the Pitt game, will be in against West Virginia, and his presence not oniy adds positive material strength to the team, but has a psychological effect that is of great value. With Henry p.aying, Coach Morrow will be able to switch Garbisch to left guard, a position in which he shines, and give the Presidents one of the best rush lines in the country. There is no denying that Coach Morrow fears the West Virginia aerial game more than any other feature of the team's attack. Morrow saw the Southerners in action against Rutgers last Saturday, and on his return pronounced West Virginia the best forward passing team he ever saw. Wash.

-Jeff, in its i palmiest days was noted for its aerial game, so that Morrow's tribute is one The curtain will be rung down next Thursday on the college football season in Pittsburgh. On the afternoon of Thanksgiving' day Glen Warner's Pitt Panthers and Hugo Bezdek's Nittany Lions from Pennsylvania State College will battle at Forbes Field. That the game will be witnessed by a banner crowd is already evidenced, as every reserved seat ticket was disposed of more than a week ago, the demand being much greater than even for 'the Pitt-W. J. game, which at that time established a record.

However, the Pitt management has arranged to place on sale at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning at Spalding's 10,000 general ad- mUsion tickets, and the overflow crowd them as a team oi very ionuiaup.e in spite of the defeat at the hands of little Centre. So W. J. following its Syracuse victory, its practically tie with Pitt and with but one touchdown woiuu against it, wouid take a high rating should it beat West Virginia, an eleven that has trimmed both Princeton and Rutgers. Ergo, the Mountaineers would jump wonderfuHy toward the pinnacle should they beat the from tbe bleachers will be cared for ax toward which the State hoy have been pointing.

Usually the throng at the Thanksgiving Day games here Is not so large as that at some of tbe other important struggle, because many dyed-in-the-wool football fans leave the city for the holiday, or are more engrossed with turkey dinner than with affairs of the gridiron This season Is aa exception, however, and It Is certain that every availab'e inch of space will be taken at Forbes Field on Thursday. The increased interest in the game ean probably be ae-, counted for by the fact that this fall the rivals appear to be more evenly matched than they have been tor a number of seasons. -Six Wins for Pitt.

But a half dozen years ago there was a change tn the tide, so far as State is concerned. has been at low ebb ever since. Pitt has won six consecutive times over the White and Blue. Last year the game waa a hummer.

Another thing that Is much more im- portant than physical condition, and MOUNTAINEERS AND W. J. BRINGS OUT GREAT GAME give the Panthers plenty to worry about on Thanksgiving Day. Renn State alumni and students are particularly anxious for a victory over Pitt, not only because it has been six years since a l'enn State eleven was victorious, but also because they feel that a win over the Warnerites will wipe out 'the sting of the early season defeat at the hands of Dartmouth and give the Blue and White as high a ranking aa any team in the Bast.

They will tackle what will probably be the best team Pitt has been able to put on the fle.d this year. It is expected that Captain Jimmia Dehart will be fit to play at least to start the game. Andy Hastings will apparently be in good condition, and Tom Davies should be at his best. Jim Morrow came through the Penn game in fair condition, and he.

too, will be fit to play. There is every reason to believe that they will be in shape to put up their best article of football against State. Laugh ran alpo be on hand, and can jump into the breach if he is needed. Of course Herb Stein will be at center, and the battle for honors between him and Conover bids fair to feature a game which should bristle with spectacular doings.

At the tackles will be Harmon and I probably Bond, with the ends probably guarded by McCracken and Ewing. Both to Open Up. Inasmuch as this is the closing contest of the season, both teams may be expected to open up and show all the football they know. Indeed, the chances are that they will have to do this to win. The most varied attack either ha8 exhibited this fall is in prospect.

State is partial to the forward passing game, and is said to have reached a high degree of proficiency In making the long passes. Bezdek has a fine pair of ends to use on such plays, and the coordination between the backs and the Itne is well nigh perfect. Pitt seldom employs the long passes, and Its forward passes just over the line have not been employed as often as many critics think thev should have been. However, in the State game the Panthers are Jlkely- to uncork all they have, and they and their rivals both treat the spectators to an aerial attack that it will cause the onlookers to sit up and hold their breaths.

In 1903 one of the greatest as well as most exciting games ever staged on any gridiron was put on at "Ldttle Washington with the Mountaineers winning 6-0 in a contest which ended in a free-for-all between the Washington spectators and the train-load of West Virginia people who had gone to Washington for the contest. It was 1911 before West Virginia won another engagement and this by the slender margin of one point. Then it was 1917 before another West Virginia victory was recorded and, since the teams did not meet in 191S, this contest was the last between the two.

It is true that State has not gone through the season undefeated, its only setback being administered by Dartmouth tn a game in which the Besdektans, were away off form. However, State came back with a rcngeance, defeating the Pennsylvania ippregatlon by the score of 10 0, while the best the Panthers could do isralnst Captain Bert Bell's boys was a l-to-3 tie score.
