HISTORY repeated In 1888 and
= again the Pittsburghs were ac-
cused Of forgetting bed time, etc.
Hardly before the echo of the opening
whistle had died away, Southern Cali
fornia had scored on a pass. In the
third period the Trojans whipped an
other pass for a touchdown. Be-
wildered and upset. the Panthers
folded in the late going and were
routed.
Washington has no great
record, but il is a mark far
more c0mmendable than Pitts.
In 1924 the Huskies fought to
14-l4 tie with Navy, and in
1926 they battled Alabama in
classic that wound up in
favor Of the Dixie team, 20-19.
The Pitt record at Pasadena hardly
is in keeping. then. with the Pam
thers' record at regular season play.
Nor is it in keeping with Sutherland's
recent remark that I'D rather have
discipline and win than be a good
fellow and lose" This either is a
new stand or else some of Jocks boys
have been pulling the wool over his
eyes, in the opinion of most critics.
Sutherland's own record at Pitt
leads one to believe that Jock should
be given a clean slate. In the Is
years he has coached the Panthers,
Sutherland has registered SO VIC
tories as against only 13 defeats. His
teams never have lost two consecu-
tive games in Is years of coaching.
and not since 1928 has an outfit tu-
tored by Sutherland lost more than
two games in any season.

other was that Sutherland's elevens
