Is ie!t here that the game with Sotr.
Dame would hardly settle any ques-
tion OF collegiate supremacy.
Bczdck's course In refusing to dis
cuss the game So thought here to be
wise one. for he realizes the serious
proposition ahead when his team
meets Pitt. He was somcwha. dis
appointed nv the showing Of the
Blue and White eleven in the Lehigh
game. but feels that Captain Hess
and his men have lighting chance

There is no air or confidence or over
confidence in the State camp, hut IN

their best in the final game OF the
season.
