Buckneli for some reason has
always been a thorn In the side Of
Pitt in athletics, this applying TO

saturday. The fact that Bucknen
held Navy to two touchdowns. ard
was only beaten after a terrific
struggle indicates just how strong
they are.

just how strong they are.
The Pitt team II Is believed In be-
ginning to find itself. as Indicated
by the great victory over Syracuse
at Syracuse last Saturday Coach
! Warner has had TO Apartment In a
number Of positions due to the
green men on the team. and as the

troublesome left halfback position.
Flanagan was q star performer
on the Freshman team last year
and got his first chance against
Lafayette, when he showed up
very well.
johnson replaced him In the
, West Virginia game and started
the Syracuse game. Later, when
Flanagan relieved johnson at Syra-
cuse, he played q wonderful game
and contributed as much as anyone
10 the victory over the Orange
! outfit.
Coionna and Hewitt are still hav.
.ng a battle for the fullback posi-
ton. Hewitt's 7O-yard run against
will likely get him first chance
against Syracuse. but was knocked
out in one or the scrimmages.
Hewitt is one Of the fastest men
In the country for his size. He lips
the beam at over 200, yet he was
able to outsprint all the Syracuse
tackles when ne grabbed the pass
which proved fatal for Syracuse.
Pie" williams played one o.
the greatest end games ever seen
at Syracuse. and he can be de-
pended on as q regular from now
on. Not only did he prevent any
of the fast Orange backs from
skirting his ends, but he also
kicked three goals after touch
downs via the placement route.
