PITTSBURGH POST-GAZEriE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1537- EAST-WEST GRID CLASSIC MM TO 18 SEE EASTERNERS HELD These Four May Play Prominent Parts in Rose Bowl Struggle Today 1 vS Spotught bti Grantlcind Pice 10 TO 8 FAVORITE IN CHARITY TIL Wealier Af ay Decide LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31. The battle of the East and West, Pittsburgh and Washington, mar be decided as much by weather as anything else. Heavy rains have already turned ithe Rose Bowl field at Pasadena into a heavy-going patch of where speed will be cut down and where power may be 'a potent factor. In summing up the two teams for this game, after watching both in action and in practice, here are the vital factors Pitts 44 JtianapicKea seniors to compete in Annual Battle.

Washington has the bigger but Pitt has more men to call on. Pitt has no kicker to match cither Logg or Johnson of Washington and Pitt has no passers to match Wash-- ington's elected snipers. In elusive backs, Pitt has no ball carriers to match Cain and Haines of the Huskies and, in the way of sheer power, Washington has no backs to match Goldberg, Steb-bins, LaRue, Patrick and other Panthers. I have just spent most of the day with Jimmy Phelan of Washington and Jock Sutherland of Pitt.

In the way of a world's record on the part of coaches, both agree they figure the game a standoff. Their idea i3 that the breaks will decide the final score just as the breaks have decided the final score in more than 60 per cent of the big games this season. "It is up to us to win," Jock Sutherland told me. "Our last two showings out here have been terrible. I'll admit this.

But I think I have a team that 'the best teams I have ever coached but many of them are "sbrjhomores. No one can tell what a sophomore will do. I am -banking on Goldberg, Daddio, mores. It is the youngest team I have ever had for a big game. They can be great or just fair.

I don't know what they will be." Out to Win, Says Phelan Then I turned to Jimmy Phelan of Washington. "Outside of Cruver, my best defensive back with three broken ribs, I am ready," he said. "We are out to win this game. Pitt has never won in the Rose Bowl, but neither have we. I haven't the reserve power Pittsburgh has, but I think I have a better first team.

If I can keep my regulars going I think we ought to win. -If I can't, it may be a different story. I know Pittsburgh is ieyed up, but so are we. That means a rough, hard game played to the limit. That suits us.

"I know we have the better kickers and I think we "have the better passers. We will have on a dry field, but we have been trainirig here in rain and wind. If we have a slow field and more rain Friday, anything can happen. I'll be honest and admit that, under such conditions, I don't see how either team can score. I know this, Pitt isn't going to run over us with any sheer power and I don't care how good Goldberg and the others are.

We have a big line, a line that I trust. On a hot day we might be at a disadvantage, 'through lack of reserves. On a dry, fast field, I think we'd have the edge in speed, kicking and passing. But the field won't be fast and no one can say how the weather will be after the rain storms we've had for four days." When I finally got Sutherland and Phelan together, both admitted the game was a toss-up. In the meanwhile, over S7.00Q have already bought tickets, to make this the greatest admission game in Rose Bowl history.

In a few hours, the vanguard of this crowd, the second largest of the year, new or old, will be on its way to Pasadena to see a game that is generally regarded as the most even of all the Rose Bowl battles.

He even goes so far as to suggest that Pittsburgh have a New Year's Day game all their own and have Pitt invite someone to come and play ball. What does the ISLP (I Still Like Pittsports) think? That Pitt is the only team in the city of Pittsburgh? What about Duquesne and Carnegie Tech? Seems to me, I heard somewhere about the boys from the Bluff hanging one on Pitt's chin. But maybe ISLP (still, "I Still Like was out of town that day.

The idea of a New Year's Day game in Pittsburgh is all right. Yet, the Pitt representative should be chosen from the teams in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and possibly farther east. But, I don't think it would be a good idea to let ISLP be a member of the board of directors he'd have Pitt there every year. JOHN W. HACHA.

Sports Commentator, WOWO-WGL. Fort Wayne, Ind. Comment: There probably will be agitation to close the football season on March 17 (St. Patrick's Day) if the Bowl idea continues to spread. Kind Words From Salem.

Sports Editor, Post-Gazette: I have been an intensely interested reader of the Post-Gazette (including the past names of the paper) for 18 years. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't feel at home without Pittsburgh news every day. But never have I appreciated a "Reader's View" column like the one you have presented here. If you'll pardon the incoherence of my letter, I'll proceed with my humble efforts that of an outside observer. The Pittsburgh district has contributed some of the greatest sports' thrills of the world.

It's colleges rate with the best in producing remarkable athletic achievements. It's a puzzle to me why so many people in Ohio h(e and in Pennsylvania feel that some of the Smoky City's colleges are less publicized in this newspaper than others. I feel that it is quite unfair to sports scribes to accuse them of such a thing which is so obviously not true. The criticism is made by so STATE TO NAME BEZDEK SUCCESSOR Reported Harlow to Be Chosen January 15. STATE COLLEGE, Dec.

31. VP) Officials of the Pennsylvania State College said today a successor to Hugo Bezdek, former director of athletics, may be chosen at the January 15 meeting of the board. A spokesman for President Ralph E. iletzel said he could not confirm or deny reports that Dick Harlow, football coach of Howard, was being considered for the position. He said the president was in New York, attending the National Collegiate Athletic Association meeting and that Harlow's presence there probably gave rise to the reports.

Harlow was hne coach under Bezdek during Penn State's bright est football years. Bezdek was dropped several months ago but retained a place on the faculty. many Duke and Tech followers that Pitt gets far more laudatory remarks for its noteworthy performances than the former two. To cite the following: Tech is yet being praised for its sensational victory over Notre Dame in 1926; and Duquesne's astounding triumph over Pitt last October will be related, time and time again in the sport pages, making it an impossibility for the upset ever to be forgotten. The Tech bombshell exploded under Notre Dame 10 years ago, but it is still fresh in our minds because it is brought to our attention in headlines whenever great events are recalled.

I am quite sure Pitt rooters want nothing more than success for Tech and Duquesne in the latter's quest for recognition. Of course, the rooters want Pitt to win when playing their city foes, but no Pitt rooter or anyone else can be made any happier than to hear that Tech or Duquesne has beaten some outside formidable opponent. I can think of many things that could have been said about the Du-quesne-West Virginia Wesleyan game the week after the Pitt-Duke game, but the sports writers passed it up by tenderly calling it a "letdown" on the part of Duquesne a nice gesture. Had they wanted to de-publicise the losers, here was their chance. However, I do cherish and like staid old Tech and up-and-coming Duquesne.

They are forging to the front rapidly. But Pitt is the leader of sports i the city of Pittsburgh, which is no stranger than the predominance of Canada in hockey; or Indiana in basket ball; or Minnesota in fullbacks; or the English in tennis it's the momentum of an early start. It has just happened that way, and until Tech and Duquesne show greater predomination, the tide of eminence will continue to flow toward the Pitt Panther. I've seen the Olympic games in '32 and '36, but I still look to Pittsburgh to satisfy my athletic hunger between Olympiads. Anyhow, we're all for Pie Tray-nor, Waners, and the rest of the Pirates.

Yours for a more co-operative spirit from everybody and long live the sports writers, for they do lead a strenuous life. FREDERICK E. COPE. Salem, O. Comment: Perhaps, even our local boys who argue among themselves would be affronted if an outsider rapped the local teams they take the privilege of rapping.

Washington wanted the Panthers to wear white jerseys with dark numerals.

Pitt asked the Huskies to adopt that color scheme. The Husky board of strategy announced this morning its players would wear the dark shirts. "We don't know what Pitt will wear," said the spokesman. Advised of the matter, Coach Jock Sutherland of Pitt announced: "We'll wear blue. It's all we've got.

We left our white jerseys at home." May Change Lineups. Sutherland said he would not name his starting team until tomorrow, but it appeared likely that Pitt's backfield would shape up at the whistle with John Chickerneo at quarterback, Marshall Goldberg at right halfback, Bobby LaRue at left half and Bill Stapulis at full. Coach Jimmy Phelan may change his starting Husky lineup, but the chances are that Elmer Logg will go in at quarter, Jimmy Cain at left half. Byron Haines at right and Ed Nowogroski at fullback. The Washington backfield staff, which ran up 148 points against nine opponents this year, will out-weight the Pitt backs from three to five pounds per man, an average that also applies to the opposing forward walls if the squad weight charts are correct.

Pitt scored 203 points, which gives an inkling of the power of the two lines.

Bad fortune also hit the Maroons soon after their arrival yesterday.

Victor Dixon, a capable, triple-threat halfback reserve, who was expected to see plenty of service in the holiday tussle, was rushed to a local hospital with actue appendicitis. Before the appendix could be removed it burst and for a time grave fears were held for the young man's life. This evening, however, he was reported as resting comfortably and out of danger. Scores of celebrities will be in the stands tomorrow, including an un-usualully large number of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania grid fans, who have been arriving all week to cheer for the Bluffites.

AUBURN FAVORED OVER V1LLAN0VA Both Teams Primed For "Battle of the Palms." HAVANA. Dec. 31. UP) Coaches Maurice (Clipper) Smith of Vil-lanova and Jack Meagher of Auburn tucked their football charges in bed with the chickens tonight and announced they were ready for tomorrow's "Battle of the Palms." Auburn was slightly favored in the betting but this was attributed to the fact that Auburn fans were here with money to wager.

Vil-lanova had few home-town supporters on hand. The odds ranged from 6 to 5 to 9 to 5, depending upon the enthusiasm of the individual Auburn fans. After brief practice sessions this afternoon, Meagher and Smith, both Notre Dame products, made the customary guarded statements about their chances of victory. Both predicted the game would be close. Physically there was little to choose between the two.

Auburn held a slight weight advantage in the line but Villanova's backfield is much the heavier. The game is scheduled to start at 2:30 p. m. Eastern Standard time. Probable lineup: AUBURN.
