Both coaches reserved the right
to make last-minute changes, but
admitted the teams likely would
take the field in the above order.
DR.. Sutherland was considering
starting his two sophomore guards,
Albin Iezouski and Walter Ras-
kowSki, but said he probably would
cast his vote for the veterans,
while Phelan's only problem also
concerned a pair of sophomores,
Chuck Newton at quarter and
Frank WaSkowitz at right half
back.
PantherS Arrive Tonight
The Panthers will arrive tonight
at the Hotel Huntington, after II
days at Arrowhead Springs, and
DR.. Sutherland plans a workout
in the Rose Bowl tomorrow so his
gridderS can become accustomed
to the turf.
The Pitt coach was greatly con.
cerned over the condition of the
playing field, and talked at length
with his old teammate, Tiny"
Thornhill, whose Stanford teams
have been in the Rose Bowl for
the past three years. Thornhill
visited the Panthers yesterday,
but reiterated his neutrality -
since he is an alumnus of Pitts
burgh and a member Of the Pa
cific Coast Conference.
Phelan repeated he was anxious
for a clear day and a fast field so
his open style Of play might func-
tion, while it was apparent Pitt
also plans to throw conservation
to the four winds with its new and
dazzling passing attack.
Pitts recent success in practice
sessions at passing has won the
Panthers new respect, as they had
been known as the "paSsless won
ders," but the odds still showed
the Huskies to be slight favorites.
Washington realized it must
fear the terrific and elusive runs
of Marshall Goldberg more than
anything in Pitts repertoire, and
many believed the Fasteners new
passing attack was but a smoke
screen for their real strength.
HuSkieS To Pass
The HuskieS have made no Sc
cret Of the fact, however, they
plan to take to the air upon the
slightest provocation, and Byron
HaineS continued to toss the ball
around with deadly accuracy dur
ing yesterdays workout at Brook
side Park.
Although it was not likely they
would start together, it was
thought Phelan would use Was
kowitz and Haines together when
the Huskies launch their passing
attack. Both are excellent tossers
and perfect foils for each other in
the deceptive plays that Phelan
has devised.

The Dukes went through two
drills yesterday under a warm

condition for the contest.
Coach John Little Clipper"
Smith, coach of the Dukes, ex-
pressed some concern for his
team because of the sharp change
of climate, and ordered a light
drill in the morning, but when
his players came through that
all right, he ordered a short
scrimmage in the afternoon. the
final one before the game.

Coaches Agree
With Officials

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Football
coaches in annual session here
were shown movies today of some
of last seasons most discussed for
ward pass plays in which there
was a question as to whether or
not the receiver had been inter
fered with, and the consensus was
that the officials were correct in
their rulings in most cases.
Also a majority of the coaches
saw no reason for changing the
rule on pass interference or the
penalty.
Coach Chet Wynne of Kentucky
lashed out with the remark that
the rules were all right, "but the
trouble is with some officials who
make up their minds in advance
which team the public wants to
win the game, then call their de-
cisionS accordingly"
Bill Crowley, veteran official,
said most of the penalties on
forward pass interference occur in
the last five minutes of the games,
and suggested that only one for
ward pass over the line be al
lowed in each series of downs in
the last five minutes.
Coach Fritz Crisler, of Prince
ton, answered that one with the
assertion that it wouldn't work,
because the defensive team simply
would use an II man line after
one pass had been tried, and
there wouldn't be a chance for a
gain"
Walter Okeson, chairman of the
rules committee, cautioned the
coaches against too much agita-
ton for upsetting the forward
pass.
"That rule has been in the
books for years." he said, "and
1t just happened that several
big games hinged on pass in
reference last season."

Visiting the President at Hyde Park, Chairman Eccles of the Reserve Board reported an up- turn in private borrowing from pri- vate sources.

Small Part of Story
 Far into the future, and deep into thousand by-ways runs the un- der-surface speculation about this latest European flare-up and the possibilities of those which may come after it.
