This theory is looked upon as being in accord with the operations of Pitt s'nee the opening of the season. It is a fact that the Blue and Gold has played just well enough in all of its games to win each particular one. Against Cornell and i ent- was usd, while against the lesser opponents switches were made that resulted in a poorer brand of football being played by the locals.

The green material which chowed signs of real ability was used here and there without endangering the chances of the team. The I coaches have exercised admirable strategy, the mil results or which should be reaped in the first championship game next week. The game with Dickinson tomorrow will serve to show the condition of the team. The Dickinson game will be far from an easy one. The squad of the visitors has been coached for the Pitt grame by Glenn arner, the Indian coach, and is playing better than earlier in the season.

Wilson, the bij? line-plunger of Dickinson, is one of the best in the East and his return to the lineup will strengthen the visitors greatly. SKIRTS tea LONDON', Oct. 10. Come on over. Ready to sign, at once for $30,000 and 50 per cent of the picture privileges.
