Stewards, or to be perfectly correct,
Cochrans, were leaders in the car

The Schiffs, truth to tell, were
also miles and miles away from

manner in which the late John

she displayed little interest.

When I explained to the dowager
that the present social season has
brought forth many heiresses-
great heiresses-she politely asked
me who they were.
without a moments hesitation I
reeled off the names of Barbara
Whitney, Ellin Mackay, Elinor
Stewart, Carlotta Havemeyer, Bar
bara Brokaw, Joan Whitney, Dor

number Of others.
Before I had finished she inter-

Pitt Plays Varsity
Tossers on Saturday

MoRGANTowN, March III
the University of Pittsburgh bas-
ketball team is able to come out
of the slump Il has been in for
the past several weeks tomorrow
night when they meet the Wash
inGton and Jefferson college out
fit at Little" Washington, Pa,
they will be primed for a victory
when they clash with the Noun
taineer tossers here Saturday
night.
Pitts splendid record In the
tri-state section Is the source OF
much pride to Coach Andy Kerr,
but defeats at the hands at SYRIA
cuse, the Army, Cornell and Col
gate during the past several
weeks have lessened the teams
prestige and followers Of the Pan
Their outfit have little to boast
about these days.
To date the Panthers have won
nine and lost eight games and II
they lost again to w. 6 j. In to-
morrow's game they will lose any
claim they have Il. the tri-state
title. But, should they win to-
morrow's game and trounce the
Varsity here Saturday they will
cop the bunting from the Red and
Black and romp off with the
coveted championship.
On paper the Painters have the
Mountalneers outclassed and
should win easily. This is shown
by comparative scores in the
Army, Wesleyan, Grove City, Gem
eva, Penn and Marietta games. In
only one instance, West Yirginia's
early-wln over W. and j! and the
Presidents later triumph over the
Panthers, do comparative scores
favor the Mountalneers and In
this case the margin is SO slight
that 1t is easily Offset by Pitts
scores in the games mentioned,
Comparative scores, however,
count for little and regardless Of
Pitts impressive record tho PAN
Tiers are not rated as being
stronger than the Mountaineers
by, fans in this section. Their
recent 1925 victory over Wesley
an after losing three games In q
row shows that they are gradually
coming out OF their slump and q
whirlwind finish is within the
realm of possibility as Pitt teams
have accomplished such things
before.
