FOR PlTTSBURG GAME

Washington. Pa. Nov. 5.--Washing-
ton and Jefferson started on it's final
week of practice for the Pitt game
today with a determination TO leave
no step unturned that may shape up
the eleven for the great sectional
championship clash While there was
some disappointment over the en-
forced idieness OF Saturday due to the
cancellation of the Muskingun-
test, the rest for the men. it Is be-
lieved, Will be beneficial as all OF them
were not In the best of shape and
there was danger of aggravating in
juries. AS II Is Metzser should be
able to inaugurate the final Ave day
practice period for Pitt with all but
two or three of his men ready to
stand grueling pace.
With the loss of the Muskingum
game Coach Metzger will inaugurate
scrimmage tomorrow and will prob
ably drive the men at q hard clip for
at least three days. The practice will
all be behind closed gates and 1t is
a reasonable prediction that lot of
new plays will be evolved, especially
for the Pitt encounter. All last week
the coaches were drilling The men in
new formations and this work will be
continued.

Started Again.

Nashville, Nov. 5.-The annual agi-
tation has started again for a post
season game with Georgia Tech on
the assumption that the teams from
that institution and from Vanderbilt
will complete their sch eduIes without
a defeat. IT is probausy an empty
agitation again. There Is not much
likelihood that tho authorities will
sanction it. for one thing. And an
other important consideration Is that
each of these teams faces already a.
row OF games that gives 1t enough to
think about for the present without
reaching into the future to borrow
trouble.
Tennessee meets Vanderbilt at
Knoxville on November IL. and that
is what the local coaches are worry
ing about now. Tennessee's decisive
defeat of Florida shows that team TO
be reaching the form that reports
emanating from Knoxville had con-
sistently predicted for it. Add to that
the fact that the Vanderbilt game is
the big game for Tennessee this year.

terrific surprise handed them last year.
when Vanderbilt won by a score big

pect. and 1t Is apparent that local
sportsmen are looking for trouble
ahead.
McGuFin is driving his men along
at a hard clip now, whatever may be
in the back of his mind. Secret prac-
tees and hard scrimmages and new
formations fll up a long daily grind
on Dudley Field His punters are
working overtime to be able to meet
the Tennessee crack, Hatcher, on

the game against Virginia, there were
plenty of flaws that have TO be eradi-
Gated The team ~ weakest in the
open game. out Of many efforts last
Saturday. only one forward pass was
worked by the Commodores. The
strong -bucking game that devel-
oped against Virginia can hardly be
expected to work so well against the
line that Tennessee has got together.

fact that Thurman will be absent

'FRENCHMEN PLAYING
AMERICAN BASEBALL
Pitcher Ia a 'Tanccur," Catcher a
.Rcceveur'' and the Shortstop
n "Bloqucr."

Baseball has been translated into
the French in order to remove one
of the obstacles to further popularity
of the game among French-speaking
people, The faculty of Assam ption
College at Worcester, Mass. has drawn
up a manual of play in that language.
1t presents baseball in terms scarcely
recognizable to most of the followers
of the nations pastime.
The pitcher IS q "lanceur.'' this
catcher a "receveur" At shortstop, a
player under the Assumptionist fac
ulty's designation would be a bio

are indicated in the manual in this
manner: First base. premier but;
second base, 'secondlenne but" third
base. "troisenne but; right field.
"voltiguer droite"; center field,
''voltguer au centre: left field vol
tiguer a guche." The coach Is termed
''agasseur."
In announcing the result of its
work the faculty OF Assumption Col
1ege stated that while the game was
already popular among the students
of the French speaking colleges In
this country and Canada, II fell short
of the interest and support OF facul-
ties Of those institutions to which It
was entitled, largely because of difff-
cult.es Of the teachers in becoming
familiar with the terms of the game.
II was to bring the language Of base
ball within reach of strange ears that
the manual was devised. the an
nouncement said.
Those who drew up the manual
were assisted by member of the
faculty who had seen baseball played
behind the battle lines in France. and
so made observations of the phrases
used by French soldiers to describe
players and positions in the game.
