Football fans will have an opportu-
nifty to compare the strength of east
ern and western college elevens when
the University OF Pittsburg meets
Stanford University in the big
stadium here December 80.
The Painters Of Pitt are coming

of Penn State, Washington and

scores of 14-O, 1910 and 10. respec-
lively. Two early season defeats by

only blemishes on the Pitt record this
year.
Stanford, while not the Pacific
coast champion, is strong eleven
land is getting stronger with each
game. In the game here against the
champion University Of California
team: Stanford lost $50, and fans
will use this score in comparing the
strength of Pittsburg and California
which has a scoring machine that
ranks high in the nation.
In the Stanford Pitt game. Glenn
who led theCarlisle Indians to grid
iron glory, will be playing his right
hand against his left. He is the Pitt
coach aand also has general charge
of the Stanford coaching system.
Both teams will be products OF the
Warner system.
Warner, who has been coaching
Pitt several years, was asked last
spring to come to Stanford to take
charge of a team which had changed
coaches three times in the preceding
three years. He could not come at
once, on account of his Pitts5urg con-
tract, which expires next year. so
sent out two lieutenants. Andy Kerr,
his assistant at Pitt, and Tiny
Thornhill, former line coach at Centre
college. These two Stanford coaches
have been working with the full ad-
vice and consent of Warner and Will
turn over the reins to their chief
when he comes out in 1924.

of peace, and that the Allies are not
in any sinister hidden manner seek
ing Facilities for war, and especially
against Turkey. They say they have
only sought the equality of all. fleets
passing through the straits on peace
full errands.
The Allies have emphasized that
they cannot accept the Turkish re-
quest for the suppression of sub
marines and military airplancs; es-
pecially they have been unable to
accept the Ottoman suggestion that
combined foreign fleets entering the
Black Sea shall not exceed in

ground" said French expert to-
night.
AS the Russians are here only for
discussion of the straits question,
tomorrow may see the last of them
at Lausanne. George Tchitcherin
tried to win American sympathy for
the Russian straits project by insist
ing that it incorporated the Ameri-
can idea of "heneficient warships."
But the Allies have agreed that the
Moscow straits plan is absolutely I'M
acceptable.
The Turks tonight seemed un-
rutfied. They did not appear at all
impressed by the ultimatum talk
with which the Lausanne atmosphere
is charged. 1t was, pointed out to-
night that failure of the straits ne
gotiations wouA not necessarily i'm
ply failure on%other vital matters
of the Lausanne agenda. one of which
is arranging peace between Greece
and Turkey and between Turkey and
the Allies.
Marquis CurZon today informed NJ.
Barrere. of the French delegation
that as n spirit of friendship for
France the British government had
abandoned the idea of having the
Lausanne treaty written in the Eng
lish and French languages. He agreed
that French alone should be used
AS France has made no request in
this connection, the English initiative
created an exceedingly pleasant
feeling among the Frenchmen, who
like to have their language regarded
always as the language of diplomacy.
