It l.i a Btrikirg coincidence that two of Pittsburgh's college elevens will plav on the i'aclflc coast within a period of less than three weeks and that, they will meet the same opponent. Mem hern of the Pitt athletic council will rn'-pt this morning to make plans for the Panthers' second trip to the Hose Bowl. It is likely that virtually the same plan that was adopted two years ago, when Coach Jock Sutherland's chaWiplonship squad went West to meet Stanford, will I followed again.

Ieave December 20. I'itt probably will not leave here before December 20, making the long cross-country jaunt by easy stages, and arriving- In Pasadena a day or two before the same. Couch Sutherland could not he reached last night to determine his plans for practice, but the Golden Panther squad, which completed an undefeated reason Thanksgi vlng Day, undoubtedly will resume training work Monday. Sutherland profited by experience trained on the last trip to California, and It In probable that he will pre scrilie some new training measures for his players to keep them in con dition for the Rose Bowl tilt. The unbeaten 1327 Panther squad left here December 26 for Pasadena.

The first workout en route was held at Irh City, Kin, December 28. On succeeding days practice sessions were staged at Albuquerque, N. and at flow, Ariz. The squad arrived in ra.saclena Saturday, December 31, two days before the ig Maine. The Pitt team lind up against Stanford was different from the one which had romped through a difficult schedule of games back home.

The irksome Journey overland had sapped the endurance of the local players, and this lack of condition, coupled with the ctsive heat, made the Panthers considerably less effective than they had Iw-fcn under different conditions during the regular season. Stanford won the game, 7 to 8-The Cardinals appeared to have the edge during the first quarter and had Pitt In trouble most of the period. Only superb punting- by Halfback Jimmy Hasan staved off the determined Warner attack. Pitt found Itself in the second quarter, outplayed th5 native oons, and scored when Hasan scooped up a fumble and raced 20 yards for a touchdown. The try-for-point btor-ked.

A Lucky Break. Stanford scored in the third period on a ilay which very nearly turned into a second touchdown for the Panthers. With the ball on Pitt's 10-yard line and fourth down Biff off man, star Stanford fullback, threw a flat pass to another Cardinal back. The receiver fumbled the hall, which bounced l.ito the hands of another Redshirt, who twisted across the goal line for the touchdown. Hoffman kicked the extra point, and Stanford had a lead which was, not threatened.

Had the hall bounded six-inches In the opposite direction, tt would have landed In the arms of Glbby Welch, 'anther all-American halfliack who had a clear field to a touchdown. Following the game the Pitt party spent two memorable days in Los Angeles, visiting moving picture studios, being feted by various organizations and accepting the celebrated California hospitality. The Pitt team returned via Kan Francisco Salt Lake City. Denver and Chicago. The Panthers had not won the West, but they had won admiration from every side for the courageous flirht they put up in the Pose Po'aI.

Eyes of Pittsburgh grid fans will be turned coastward when Carnegie Tech and lift clash with Southern California. The fighting Tartans leave tonight for their meeting with the Trojan in the Los Angeles Coliseum next Saturday. The Golden Panthers will follow the westward trail within a few days to 5torm the walls of Troy, January 1. Despite the fact that Southern California lost two games during the regular season, coast fans believe that Coach Howard Jones' eleven deserves ranking with the leading teams of the nation. The mighty Trojans, highest-tcoring team in the country with a huge total of 400 points rolled up In 10 games, an average of 40 points per game, lost only to Notre Dame and to California, Ilockne's Ramblers downed Southern California 13 to 12 before a record crowd of 123,000 spectators at Soldier Field.

Chicago. The Golden Hears turned back University of Southern California. 15 to 7 In the Coliseum. Led by Captain Nate Barrager, one of the greatest guards in the country, who has been handicapped by Injuries thl season, the Trojans will have their top strength available for the Carnegie Tech battle next week. Southern California has a team of bronzed bus'-cies that will outweigh both Htt and Tech by a connderablf margin.

The Trojans have a cluster of stars in their lineup, 'ncluding Francis Taaspan. all-American end. and Hums launders, fleet fullback, who received a Notre Dame klckoff and daahed 95 yards through the whole Irish team for a touchdown. Coach Jones depends largely upon crushing oft-takle plays, with two backs doing most of the ball-carrying. University of Southern Califor nia is essentially a "power" team, and will depend upon sheer strength to break down local teams' defenses.

Word from the coast last night was that Southern California backers would ask Pitt men to put ui odds. The coast, too, advices added. looks for a great battle between ends Donchens, Pitt ace, and Tap-pan, California star and is anxious to see how Moses, star fullback, and Saunders, a fine quarterback, function against the great Pitt team. ray for the mythical gridiron honor of the United States, it was announced today. Invitation of the powerful Panther team, undefeated and untied in an outstanding football campaign of the Kast, and its acceptance was made known by the Southern California Trojans following selection of their team on Tuesday by the Rose Howl committee.

Pittsburgh was invited out of a field of three possible teams which also included Tulane and Tennessee. Notre DaniK was eliminated because of a previous meeting- with Southern California in which the Trojans lost by a one-point margin, and Purdue, champion of the Uig Ten, was prohibited from playing because of a Western Conference ruling forbidding pout-season games. and Ganzy Heriedict, passing ace of the Duke grid game, both Juniors, will doubtless be picked to start at forwards. Joe Vernon has been doing duty at his old center berth and will likely clinch the position. This is his last season of basket bail since he is In his senijr year.

ODDS 6 TO 5 ON VON PORAT Bout With Sharkey Or Schmeling For Winner. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (United News.) The next heavyweight champion of the world may have his hand raised aloft by Jack Dempsey Monday night for Jack is to referee the Scott-Von Porat battle in Madison Square Garden and either Phil or Otto may yet qualify for the vacant title. Certainly a decisive victory for either the Englishman or the Norwegian would put the winner close to the top.

He would be in line for a battle with Jack Dempsey, who is waiting for his next opponent to be named. With Max Schmeling definitely lined up with an "outlaw" group, the Scott-Von Porat affair takes on added importance. Madison Square Garden Is going: to make an effort to keep control of the heavyweight situation and will reward Monday night's winner with some lucrative! guarantees. Falling to get Sharkey, they will go after the winner of the Scott-Von Porat fight, which will not do the winner a bit of harm financially. whatever the outcome of the negotiations.

There Is every reason, therefore, for the boys to give their best Mon day night. Because each is a reserved, cautious young man with a keen business sense, it is barely possible that the bout will be terrible. It is more likely that it will be quite a brawl, with Otto throwing that ponderous right hand of bis and Philip jnhbing and running until the Norwegian Is slowed down to a walk- Opinion in fistic circles is divided as to the probable outcome of the bout. The. odds favor Von Porat, but they arec slight and the best offered Is 6 to 6 on Otto.

Yv vp his transfer to Atlanta of the Southern Association was not all that it should have been, according to the strict letter of the baseball law. Commissioner Landis heard the player; R. J. Spiller, of the Atlanta club, and Willtert Robinson, of Brooklyn. The decision will come later.
