Jones Aims to Use Every Bit
Of Trojan Speed Against Pitt

Clarke have formed one quarterback
fullback combination, while Warburton
and Griffith made up the other. Now
Jones Is planning to use Warburton
and Griffith as starters in the game
with Erskine and Bright playing the
halves. The 1882 Trojans do not have
quite as much backfield power as last
year, for neither Griffith nor Clarke
have the poundage Of Shaver or Mu-
suck. Griffith weighs 1876 and relies
more on speed than drive, while War
burton at 148 pounds is essentially a
scampering back. But with Erskine,
Bright and Clemens furnishing good
