Tushing his Carnegie squad for Saturday's important strug Signing of Ens. That was a popular chord the Pittsburgh baseball officials struck when they announced that Jewel Ens, 1930 manager cf the crippled Firates, will be at the helm again next season. The fact that it was an expected move, and one freely predicted by the men who keep in close touch with the Pirates, in no' dims the pleasant ring the official announcement carries. In a baseball way. Ens knows his way about, as he showed last season, and what failure came to the Pirates was not laid to any shortcomings of the Pirate boss, but laid directly on ihe doorstep of hard luck in the matter of injuries.

It was always a pleasant thing to note that even while the Pirates were in the doldrums there was no caustic criticism cf the Pittsburgh pilot who was striving all the time to bring i little order out of the chaos wrought by illness and injuries. Plentiful Supply of Rabbits, Grouse, Quail and Squir Ben Paw-lina or Val Trambley will get an opportunity to show their stuff in big league fashion in the Dukes'" next game, with North Dakota University on Friday night, November 7, now tht Kass Koval-check, star fullback, is definitely out for the season. X-ray photos showed a broken bone just above the ankle in Kass" right foot and the big line plunger seems to have pranced his last for Elmer Layden. Ben Pawlina Is about the best bet of the Night Riders to take Koval-check's place at the fullback berth, although Val Trambley has more speed than the New Haven, Conn, lad. Pawlina can kick as well as Trambley and he runs the ball for gle with New York University, Coach Bob Waddeil sent his first two teams through half an hour of scrimmage yesterday and rels Reported.

The hunting: season will start Sat urday morning according to original wound up the drill with signal practice for all three of his varsity aggregations. Only George Kavel, injured sophomore halfback, was excused from the scrimmage. Kavei is still suffering from the painful injuries he received 6n the initial kickoff in the Notre Dame game on October 18 and it is still schedule but with the proviso that hunters in the woods and fields will be prohibited from smoking- or build players who took part in the game with Carnegie Tech in 1928 at Forbes Field will be in the starting lineup when the Violets face the Skibos this Saturday afternoon at the Pitt Stadium. The three lads who played a prominent part in the New Yorkers' win over the Plaid two years ago are Captain Jerry Charlie Marshall, end, and Harry Schneider, 200-pound center. The New York University gridiron mentor has built his team this season around his sophomore candidates.

In the Violet backfleld the local fans' will see two of the unrelated quartet of McNamara's, Joe La Mark of Coraopolis, and Jack MacDonald. Bob McNamara from Wellesley, and Bill McNamara from Arlington (Mass.) High school will represent the Mac family. James Tanguay, one of the East's high scorers, will change places during the session on Saturday with Bob McNamara. Joe La Mark and his brother, Herman, from Coraopolis are both on the Violet squad this season. Herman was a regular last fall but plenty of yards, but he does not get ing- fires.

This information coming from Harrisburg, where yesterday Joe Hugret of Bristol a sophomore, played in Marshall's position previous to the Fordha- game last Saturday in the Yankee fctadhim. There is a possibility that Marshall will receive the call over his younger rival in the meeting with the Tech squad. Ernest Concannon and Dick Murphy will take care of the tackle assignments for Meehan. Both are fast and powerful. They made their presence felt in the line battje that featured the game with the kKam" last week in New York.

George'---Chalmers and Hugh Greenblatt will in all probability see action as guards. Both have held the jol since the team reports! to training camp at Farmtngdale, L. early in September. Schneider, senior and veteran linesman, will lie at the pivot post. Schneider weighs 204 pounds and he uses fll his poundage in his tanks.

Ernest Vavra, a Universal (Pa.) resident, is due to break in at tackle berth if the going is hard for the two varsity players. Vavra is a sophomore and his two rivals have had an extra playing Beason under their belts which has proved the deciding factor in keeping the former Turtle Creek High school star oft the first eleven. off his mark as quickly as Val. Both are better than ordinary passera the serious situation was under dis cussion, lifts the shadow of doubt Layden drove the men through doubtful whether he will be able to play against the Violet. Alex Ducanis, the other Notre Dame casualty, however, was able to take part in for thousands of hunters who hesi another long session yesterday and apparently is not going to allow any letup from now until the big game.

He has the additional task of key tated about making plans since the word came oue that a ban, due to dry conditions in Pennsylvania some of the scrimmage, and it is almost cer- Alex Ducanis. a a 1 I. HP The Pirate roster is filled with good, capable men, a mix ire of youngsters, the middle-aged in experience, and the vet-trans, and airy sizeup of the team must bring remarks of respect for their prospects. Now with Ens assured of another season at the helm, the Tvork of reconstructing here and there can be gone through with. It would not be surprising if a deal or so came out of the mid-winter- meeting in New York.

A possible shift in the infield arrangement is a likelihood if a deal can be made. A catcher of sound wind and intelligence would not hurt. Otherwise, the Tirates shape up as a good ball club. Given the breaks in the matter of having his best men available. Ens in his second full year will leave nothing to be desired.

The men are strong for him, from the oldest veteran to the youngest recruit. The fans, too, are strong for him, an t-teem reflected in the total lack of criticism. wfwte irauM dw ww lam mai ne win uk ino cilwluu.w a ing up a team which has gone stale during the last few weeks and the I 1 1 1 A 4 wst4- 4 Ii n4 1 a If sufficient rains had visited the hunt- ats Flanagan, veteran naCK, was at uie pi mat prospects against Western rough riders from North Dakota Univer ing grounds. fl tne first few. games of the season, and is likely to start I na An ron rt VDOTapfi'iii Wp ocrninst.

It is taking nothing away from Emmett Rocco, the Youngs-town Italian heavyweight wrho scored a knockout over George anka, the Homestead bricklayer, to report that the punch that caused Panka to sink to the floor for the full count in the sixth round Monday night, was a punch that has bothered men far superior to Panka. If you take your fist and gently, just gently, tap yourself In the region of the Adam's apple you will get a faint idea of what happened to Panka in the sixth round. It was a punch directed for the chin, which fell short, and caught big George on t'ae Adam's apple that caused him to sink down, bothered with pain and worse, then that, for bors are rather stoical about rain, robbed him of his precious wind. Something happened to his pipe line, after that punch, and while he knew what was oing on, as the count was being tolled, for the life of him he could not catch his wind.

In the first Tunney-Dempsey fight in Philadelphia in the fourth round, the only round in which Tunney looked inferior, Pempsey had him in a corner and struck the same kind of a Mow that bothered Panka. Tunney said afterward the punch vas a terrible one and bothered him considerably, but he managed to stave off disaster. The guard of the boxer, and the agility with which he can lower his head, helps protect this very tender spot, as a rule, tut once in a while, by accident, the tender place is exposed. Presumably, that is what happened to Panka. Rocco, of course was out in front and might have accomplished the knockout in another way, even without turning Fanka's Adam's apple into cider, but Panka, still rueing the knockout such things weigh heavily on boxers owning self-respect would like the fans to know his version and it is cheerfully set forth.

Rocco deserves to be brought back again, against a man in his class, and Panka, may console himself with the idea, that knockouts are no new among the heavies. No matter how good they seem to be in history, most of the heavies ran into a kayo punch at one time or another. the game on ice." ners are unused to being shot at was in fourth place, and come more freely into the open. wag BjxtQ Each has i emtir? rir-Vra Will iiffoi FWiflVllV Which Received a Tremendous "Hand" None of Major Cavanaugh's elevens scored nine touchdowns, DUt ian- have beaten or scored upon a West under the barrage, while quail will Virginia team in the last decade. guay has kicked five points after touchdown, giving him a slight come in for its share of casualtie.

While 7 4,000 rersons looked on Paul Reider, of Pitt and Castle, and Mike Koken, of Notre Dame and Youngs-town. were continuing a duel of long standing in the Stadium last Saturday. Back in 1927 Youngstown South High, undefeated, and led ty gallant Mike Koken, crossed the path of New Castle High, eaded by Paul Reider, the galloping ghost of the high school realm.

New Castle's slate was clean. Reider broke loose and ran for a touchdown. The try for goal was feiissed and the f-ore was 6 to 0, New Castle. In the final quarter Koken got loose, ran 35 yards; a pass netted 20 more, taking the ball lo the five-yard line, and then Koken received a pass and fell across for the touchdown to even the score. Youngstown made I goal and the game ended 7 to 6.
