Largest Crowd in Pittsburgh's
History Will See Foot

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 22.-The
University of Pittsburgh Carnegie
Tech football game and the dedl-
cation of the new $4,000 Pitt
stadium are the big attractions
here Saturday, and q crowd of be-
tween 10000 and 10000 people,
the largest ever assembled at an
athletic contest OF any kind ~
Pittsburgh, will be present. The
annual football game between
two rival institutions Of Pitts
burgh has each year grown IN
Importance, and the interest this
year is greater than ever before.
For years Carnegie Tech WAS in
a much lower class than Pitts
turgi in a football sense, and was
always content to hold the Pan
theirs to a low score, IL possible.
Gradually thew have been gaining
strength, however. and under the
clever coaching OF Judge "Watly"
Steffen, they have become an equal
rival of the Panther. n fact, they
nave won the last two years after
a string of a dozen or more re-
verses.
The games between the Partners
both thrilling affairs and were de-
cided on a one-touchduwn margin
In favor of Tech. Naturally. Pitt
on the day OF the dedication OF the
stadium and on account Of these
two reverses, is very anxious to
win this year.
The Painters have been going
better as the season advances,
and Tech has also shown q lot OF
class. so It looks like q close game
Saturday, with either team hay
ing chance to win. The breaks.
which always enter into deciding
q big football game, viii no doubt
be evident. and the team which
takes advantage Of them viii win.
Carnegie Tech has lost only a
few men from last years team,
and the eleven as a whole is
thought to be stronger than that
Ct 1924. Pitt also was fortunate
in having few requirements to
make and win present seven or
eight Of the regulars who played
Tech last year.

KIRK'S EFFECTS
FAIL TO REVEAL
CAUSE OF FEUD
Letters Serve to Intensity
Mystery of Whole
Affair

Still shrouded in deep impene-
trablt mystery, the Truden-Kirk
tragedy which cost the lives of two
men, remained today one of the
most battling eases with which the
officials in Imperial county have
ever had to deal.
Attempts today to locate some
ciew which might shed light on the
cause of the enmitv between the two
men were not successful, and vari-
Gus theories have been advanced as
the reason for the strange compact
by which the men fought a duel to
the death, the victor later taking
his own life.
One belief held by the officials
is that Truden may have been of un-
sound mind and that he forced Kirk
to accompany him to the lonely spot
where the duel was fought. three
and one-half miles northeast of I'm
perial. This would seem to be sub
stantiated by the statements in the
letter which Truden left behind, in
which he declared that Kirk had
tried to take his gun away from him

ing duel.

disagreement surviving army days.
are also presented as reasons for
the trouble between the two men.
In going through Kirk s effects
this morning, Coroner Lemons found
a narrow strip of tissue paper on
! which was typewriter, Private
John Truden, Marine Detachment,

would tend to show that Kirk and
Truden were acquainted during the

Forest Lake, Michigan, who was ad-
vised by telegraph of his brother s
death, telegraphed Sheriff Gillett
yesterday afternoon, asking if it
i Is true that his brother had met his
: death. He also stated that he be-
lieved Truden to be member of
the American Legion, as he was
/ Il war. veteran. A check of the
rosters of the various legion posts
in the valley failed to show that Tru
den held membership in any of
( them.
Due to the fact that Truden 3
Z death occurred in San Diego coun-
ty, Coroner Lemons is without au-
thority to make q search of the dead
/ mans effects and therefore has not
: been able to obtain any information
from that source that might throw
Il light on the trouble the men had.
/ The coroner stated this afternoon
that he was expecting Il representa-
4. tive of the San Diego coroner to
come here for the purpose of search

. he had not been informed as tn
when the officer would arrive.
Among the clothing and other
personal effects which Coroner
Lemons took from Kirk S room this
morning, was the address of Sole

made inquiries of the young wo-
man, who had not learned of Kirk s
