Fresicent National Leasee. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. OThere has been no off-season in a quarter of a century where there have been so many changes in the lineups of National League clubs as have taken place this winter.

Inasmuch as Coach Bob Thorne is said to have one of the most prom-ism? clubs in Grove City history this home product, seems to have a squad that has a chance to carry off honors in Section VII.

Pitt said goodbye to California today as its football team left its quarters in the Huntington Hotel on the first lap cf the long journey back East. The Panthers are due to arrive at the Grand Canyon early tomorrow morning, where they will spend the entire cay. A trip down the Bright Angei trail has been planned for the players and any others who care for it. The boys are looking forward to the ride on donkeys after wearing out all the ranch horses during their Tucson stay. The Pitt party, on Us homeward trip, has been augmented by the addition of the Pitt officials who were on the coast in advance of the team.

With the exception of Bob Hogan. who slipped and fell while swimming this morning, the team is in food shape physically. Mentally they are not so good, spending all their time trying to figure out just what happened and what the folks back home are going to say. Hogan's injury was not serious, the Meadville lad suffering a painful but harmless cut on the right leg. 1 Veteran Coach and Lieutenant of McCarthy-Is Released.
