The Pittsburgh Panthers are
virtually set certainty to rep
resent the East. Much will de-
pend upon the outcome of Pitts
game wi tn Carnegie Tech on
Thanksgiving Day, but a Tech
triumph over the Panther seems
entirely improbable.
AS this writer left Pittsburgh
on Saturday night with the Cath
olic University eleven, men close
to affairs at the Pitt campus
said a bid was expected before
Thursday.
Minnesota cannot go, despite
it's Conference victory, and while
we're on the subject of the Co.
piers, they probably will not play
any post-season games for char.
ity or anything else. Princeton
and Army have been jolted out
of the ranks of the eligibles, and
football men on the Pacific Coast
do not consider Alabama an out
standing team despite its record
this season.
Panthers' Fourth Trip
If the Panthers go to the Rose
Bowl it will be their fourth trip
to the Pacific Coast. They lost
to Stanford by a score of 6 to 7
in 1928, were showed under by
Southern California to the tune
of At to 13 in 1880, and were
trounced 35 to 0 in 1882. In none
of these previous visits, however,
did Pitt have a team as powerful
as the one that wears its colors
this year.
Stanford has not been exactly
riot in the Rose Bowl. Its first
experience was with Notre Dame
in 1925 and the Ramblers skinned
the Injuns by score of ~ to 10.
Then followed tie with Alabama
at Tall. That was in 1927, and in
1928 Stanford beat Pitt by score
of to 6, its lone victory out there.
Last year Lou Little's Columbia
Lions stopped the Injuns five
times inside of the five-yard line,
and won by a score of Z to 0.
Well, Notre Dame beat Army,
and Navy beat Notre Dame. Chart
figures rate Navy about four
points higher than Army, and
those charts are right most OF
the time. So what?
Navy beat Notre Dame in a
hectic struggle, during which the
Ramblers showed the Middies all
over the lot but couldn't score
until the last period. Notre Dame
did relatively little showing of
Army. The Ramblers gained los
yards net, against West Point. and
practically all of this was done In
the last half. The chart of the
first half shows a gain of nine
yards for Notre Dame.
Cadet Line Strong
These figures would indicate
greater power across the neutral
zone for Army. But Notre Dame
was able to connect on two passes,
and in each instance, the receiver
was surrounded by Army Secon-
diaries, yet by side-stepping. stiff
arming and threading through an
ENHANCEMENT of defensive players,
Vairo and later Dan Hanley tore
over turf to score.
Navy figures to score through
the air on West Point, and if the
same sort of pass defense is
operating next Saturday. the Mid
shipmen are apt to do all the
prancing around Franklin Field
when the last whistle blows. It
is surprising that Army's tackling
should have been so bad. Usu.
ally those Army forwards undress
a rival when they have him

The left side of Army's line
with Moose" Miller at tackle and
Schuler at end stopped the Notre
Dame rushes dead. Schuler was
in the Irish backfield as long as
he was in the game.
Bill Shakespeare was the best
back on the field all afternoon,

Buckler, who last year won his
place on the All America outfits.
