PITTSBURGH'S PAINTERS
FEAR METZGER'S ELEVEN

PITTSBURGH. Nov. e-washing-
ton and Jefferson, trained to the min
ute and most eager TO vanquish Glenn
Warmers Panthers. thus being the
FIRST eleven to defeat Pitt in three
years, IL coming here tomorrow to
battle the Blue and Gold for the
Western Pennsylvania championship
and, probably, alSo fc= the Eastern
title. 1t Is telling no secrets to say
that Pitt fears the washingtonians.
Against Westminster last Saturday
Pitt at no time n the game had
more than three varsity players. This
is its reason for the small score. But
the fact Is also true that Pitts regu-
lars are not in the best OF physical
condition, and thai they may 60 down
before Sol MetzgGc's powerful W. and
J. outfit at Forbes Field.
McLaren and Captain Carlson were
the only regulars who started against
Westminster, but at various times
thereafter reserves were replaced by
first string players.
Pittsburgh Hid Plays
Because W. and Us entire varsity
squad occupied seAts In the stand last
Saturday. the Blue and Gold quarter
back was not Permitted to uncover
any OF his plays to be used against
the Red and Black. This also aided
in keeping the score down. But the
fact remains, nevertheless, that there
is no overweeninG confidence In the
Pitt camp that tomorrow's contest
will be a victory.
Tickets went on gale here Monday.
and went like hot cakes. Every in
dlcation points to a banner throng At
Forbes Field when the two elevens
appear for their annual battle. Mail
orders from Pitt elumni as far away
as Chicago and Now York have been
received. The Importance OF the con-
test Is attracting everybody.
Just what lineup Coach Warner
will use against the Red and Black
is not known. Warner refuses to d.
vulge the names, but he has been
working every reserve all week In
the daily practice, thus assuring him
self Of capable substitutes.
Depending on MeCreiEht
From reports of the W. and J. drills,
Coach Metzger is evidently depending
upon McCreight's trusty toe to upset
Pitts defense. An hour q day IL be-
ing used by the W. and ]. fullback
in field goal kicking and punting.
Pitts handling OF punts has been far
from good all season and fumbles in
the backneld may prove costly to the
Panthers Saturday.
Forward passing Is also another
department of play used extensively
by the w. and J. eleven. much time
being spent in perfectlng this form
of attack. Pitts work will be cut
out for It II Metzger's team Is sue
cessful in its kicking and forward

United States Food Administration
circuit, showed his fellows a thing
or two in toppling the ducks in last
nights session. Crowley got going in
fine shape and counted q 139 game In
the last try.
None Of the other Food Administra-

161, 2o6, and 22o.
Navy made a cleanup OF the three

COLLEGES TALKING
OF BASKETBALL AT
MEETING TONIGHT

Catholic University, Maryland State,
George Washington University, and
GaIiaudet College representatives will
meet at the Y. N. c. A tonight to
talk over a basketball league for the
winter.
Prof. C. Edward Beckett. of the
7. NJ c. A, has called the session,
which is following out the plan out
lined last spring when the representa-
tives met TO take up plans for an in
tercollegiste basketball league.
There is every likelihood OF the
league going through this year, in
view Of the fact that the teams here
want to cut down their expenses and
at the same time offer their players
suitable competition.
c. Edward Beckett, of the Y. N.
c. A; Fred Rice, coach OF Catholic
University; Il. c. Byrd. athletic di.
rector Maryland State; Bertram Groes-
beck, George Washington, and H. F.
Schowe, of Gallaudet, will probably

PUT UP $3,5OO
THAT THEY'LL WIN GAME
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER

So confident are the cadets at the
Naval Academy that Gilmour Dobie's
great scoring machine of 1917 will
triumph over the badly battered
Georgetown eleven at Annapolis to-
morrow, they have sent word to Bill
Curtin. manager of the Blue and Gray
varsity team, that they have $4,000 to
wager on the sailors.
'If Georgetown were not in poor
physical condition." said Manager
Curtin today, "at least a large part
OF this money might be covered up
here on the hilltop, but with the sit
uation as It Is, the Navy cannot eX-
pect to put any even money on the
result. II might be better for the
boys at Annapolis to name the num-
ber of touchdowns by which Dobie's
team expects to win. Then they
might get some action"
It is possible that the HIlltoppers
| will have to face the powerful Navy
eleven without the services OF Boh
Zuger. the chunky guard. or Johnny
GIIroy, the fieet-footed halfback. Zu-
! ger has a painful charleyhorse that
1 interferes with his movements. Gill
roy has torn a muscle loose in his
shoulder. Neither took part in yes
terdays practice, GIlroy not even
dressing. Zuger merely followed the
signal drill up and down the held.
VIII Leave at 1880.
The Georgetown contingent will
leave in special cars for Annapolis
tomorrow morning at 1880 o'clock
taking lunch at Carvel Hall before
tramping out upon the gridiron to
battle the best team the Niddies have
had in years.

will probably replace him. The Al

form whenever used and Is deserving
of a chance against the Navy. Pat
Finnegan. the Haverhill, Mass. fresh
man, is another capable substitute for
line position who may be seen in
action before the game is long under
way.
Unless Gilroy RECEIVERS in time to
face the Navy, Harry Sullivan will
play in his place at left halfback. He
subbed for the injured flyer In yes
terday's drill.
Lee Cody has recovered from his
nose injury. and will start at full
sporting a nose guard to protect his
fractured proboscis.
Anderson Breaks Arm.
Alex Anderson Is out OF football for
the remainder OF the season. He suf-
fered a severe arm fracture in prac-
tice the other day. and is now at his
home in Somerville. Mass. nursing
the injury.
Anderson was being played at left
end this season and. while trying to
break up an interference, had his
/ left arm broken in three places. He
was hurried to the university hospital
where the broken bones were set and
then went home.
Last season Anderson was the var
sity center, though rather small for
the position. His great work in
Georgetown's more important games
especially the Dartmouth contest al
Haverhill. Mass, stamped him as a
stGr for this season. However, little
Heaphy. the Beverly. Mass. fresh
man. took his job away from him, and
so Alex was being used as an end
until his injury.

DON'T HUPLIFT" SHOP GIRL
It's an Unpleasant Sensation Ae-
eordIna to Elizabeth Sears.

Spasmodically, society has always
taken an interest in the business girl.
First, because IT gives its members
something to do; and, finally because
society has found that business
women are really worth cultivating.
But they have tried to help her from
the outside in. What do they know
Of the a1l-pervading, soul-searing,
bitter loneliness we know? They es-
tablish for us working girls clubs and
Jean clubs, and herd Us into chilly in
stitutions that are only one remove
from a charitable institution. They
put in for a matron some needy
woman who needs a home and who
hasn't the faintest conception of how
to make one for the dozens of lonely
girls who flock to it. l have lived in
these homes. Like the rest, I did not
want to be uplifted; ii was as I'M
pleasant for us as II was for the up
lifters. We wanted to get acquainted.
They mean well, these women, and
perhaps we do them some good. /
suppose their interest in us comes at
the deadly time Of life when they
realize that their waist-Iine will never
again be what 1t was and they find
themselves being shifted to the
frankly middle-aged crowd at the
bridge tables.
But when we have earned the
money to buy a ticket to the theater
or a concert, we do not relish having
humbly to ask permission of a dis
approving matron to remain out after
1890. Nor do we like to have the
board of directors come to visit the
home and poke around through the
closets and our bureau drawers to-
see IL we keep things neat and tidy.
We have earned our economic indie
pendence and our right to keep our
upper bureau drawer as we please,
we business women. Perhaps We
have had to sacrifice a few ideals and
perhaps it has been better for us to
sacrifice them. For, one by one, as
we learn how to boss our own Jobs,
we are discovering that the first Of
fee order to hustle out and earn what
bread was needed in the house for the
day by the sweat of the brow was
about the best thing that ever hap
pened to Adam; for II taught Eve that

and she set forth to conquer It

GUN CONTROVERSY UP AGAIN
Sec. Baker Says Lewis Type Is Not
Perfected.

Alleged imperfections in the Lewis

has been in controversy for months,
were advanced yesterday by secrc-
tary of War Baker as the reason for
the army's failure to buy the weapon.

plored" charges that General Crozier,
chief of ordnance, is prejudiced
against a particular type OF gun.

part of our future equipment will con-

bly, the Lewis-will undoubtedly soon
be perfected. Further tests of light
guns, including the Lewis gun, which
undoubtedly has admittedly superior
features, will be held next May"
