University OF pittsburgh and Wash

mand for seats is already heavy.
There ts an opinion iextant that Pitt
VIII walk away with this game, but
the way the Folwell eleven has i'm:

make 4 g dangerous foe. In the game
with Allegheny last Saturday Pitt did
not display aSgreat aptitude at break.

Thus on the years records the Pitt
team Is headed by the Washington
and Jefferson aggregation. But. Glen
Warner says that the team he is now
coaching IS the greatest he ever had
to handle. If the present Pitt team
is, any greater than the 1910 Carlisle
Indians, Wash-Jeff will not have "a

which boastedt OF Mount Pleasant.
Jim Thorpe, Exedine, Pete Hauser,
Burd, Luby and others as great as
any football player on the field today
were certainly the equal Of the pres.
ent Pitt eleven. Joe Duff left Glen
Warner q large supply OF fine foot.
ball material which Warner has de.
yeloped into the greatest team in.
America this year,saccording to many
experts. Bob Folwell,l however, is not
worrying about the outco,ne Of the
game next Saturday. He knows that
there Is hardly aAbetter system Of
open play than that displayed on the
field by the WashingtonRa and Jefferson
team, and furthermore F'olwellF knows.
that Pitts greatest weakness is de.
tending open play:

gipia Wesleyan and the Indians, and
who also saw the game at Morgan:

seem to think the Buckhannon team
has n shade the better material and,
that the championship will go 20,

team will have o fast ga;ne to play at
