Controlling Factors.


THE controlling factors of this game
should be kicking and passing.
In this respect Pittsburgh has no reg
ular to match Logg, and so far Pitts
burgh's passing hasn't reached the
washington standard.
Year after year Pittsburgh has one
Of the strongest lines in foot ball and
one Of the best running attacks.
Year after year Pittsburghs blocking
Is superb. Few teams class with Pitt
In foot balls fundamentals.
The main Panther weakness has
been in pass attack and pass defense.
Pitt never has lifted this department
to the same level that features the rest
Of her play.
It was this weakness that cost the
Panther its pelt. fangs and claws in the
double rout against Southern Cali
fornia.
As Pop Warner remarked recently,
forward passing has been the vital
factor in nearly every big game played
this year."
T. c. U. made less than 5 yards rush.
ing against Santa Clara, yet won the
game.
I don't believe that Pitt, with all
her fine blocking and fast, hard run
ming. can win this game along the
ground. You can't run over strong
defenses, as Fordham and Duquesne
proved against eight high-class Pan
ther backs.
It is my opinion that Washington
will find Pitts line play and her block
Ing and ball carrying better than any,
thing the Huskies have seen all year,
not even barring Minnesota.
But this won't be enough unless
Pitts passing attack and pass defense
nave developed decided improvement.
Even the higher averages of her
passing game through the year won't
be enough, when you consider also
Washington's better kicking, with
Logg and johnson on top of the Job.
Pitts best punter is Wood, a second
string back with bad shoulder, who
can be used only for emergencies.
The Summing Up.
PITTSBURGH will need a decided
advantage in the running game
to Offset Washington's kicking and
passing. I doubt very much that even
Cain and Haines are going to take any
long trips against the Panther defense.
Francis and Cardwell of Nebraska
couldn't make much headway, and
. neither could Wilkie and Mccormick
and Mccarthy of Notre Dame. On
form, the Panthers are poison against
any running game. When they tackle,
you may not see it-but you'll hear it.
The same thing happens when they
block. But, this season, I've seen the
value that comes from kicking and
passing-the softest spots in the
Panther menu.
On playing form, considering every
element Of foot ball, like washington
by slim margin for the simple reason
that, between two strong defensive
teams, the air route Is the better way.
It is hardly necessary to add that,
In such cockeyed season as we have
known all year, the breaks should be
I've seen Is games from coast to
coast. and the breaks have decided
II Of the IS contests. That happens
to be the part that bedraggled old
party by the name Of Dame Fortune
happens to play.
In the way of fundamentals-line
play. good blocking. hard tackling-
this should be one Of the best technical
Eames of tha yeax.

The Biggest Job.

- now is so years old. He came up
to the big tent when he was 19 and
he hung around for "a years. I'll
tell you why think he turned in the
biggest job that sport ever has seen
including all the others. I think,
after hearing all the testimony, you'll
agree with me.
Ty came along in period of great
hitters In the big parade there were
such rivals as Larry Lajoie, Joe jack
son. Iris Speaker, Sam Crawford,
Bobby Veach, Elmer Flick, on and on.
The pitchers he had to face included
such stars as Addie joss, Ed Walsh.
Walter johnson, Smoky Joe Wood, Bill
Bernhard, Nick Altrock, Doc White,
Rube Waddell, another long list-yet,
from 1907, Ty Cobb led the American
League in IL out of the next 13 years.
And for these 13 years, against great
pitching, his batting average was
above .370.
He had to set this blazing
pace against many Of the great

many Of the best pitchers that

Iris Speaker alone prevented Cobb
from making it 13 successive years at
the top of the crowd.
Rogers Hornsby led the National
League for six years in row. Hans
Wagner made It four in q row, and
also two in q row, as well as leading
in two more years. But neither
Hornsby nor Wagner ever approached
Cobt,s mark.

ON His Lem.

AS I REMARKED before, Cobb lived
\ on his legs. But there was more
than a normal share of brains back
of the running. In the course Of his
career, he stole more bases than any
other man in base ball. And when
the season was over. Cobb spent his
Winters hunting, walking from 20 to
30 miles q day over rough terrain,
backing up his settlers and pointers.
Cobb spent at least 10 months Of
every year running bases or chasing
quail. Ho lived on his legx.
