As Pinelli sees 1t, the aNtonal loop

hitting and has more long distance

~ OF their athletic rivalry here to-
night and oddly, for them. the "1rish"
haven't chance Of finishing ahead Of
the Panthers IN either football or bes-

The two schools, national powers in

Cause for Break Uncertain.
HE severing OF athletic relations
has caused countless rur1ors from
both schools as to the reason. The
story most prevalent here. however.
was that the break was caused bv a
difference in eligibility rules-Notre
Dame taking the first step a. the result
of a policy to play only such schools
as have the same eligibility regulations.
How Pitt and Notre Dame differ on
eligibility never has been disclosed
The two schools have been playing
basket ball since the 1926-27 season
and football since 1881.
The basket ball series has produced
some strange affairs Back In the
1929 season Pitt got a 24-to-22 VIC

which it scored only two field Foals.
The Panthers dropped in 20 free

spite Of the fact that the Panthers won

So when the two basket ball teams

Winter Courtesy

Snow-laden and ice-caked streets
produce hazards for motorists and
pedestrians alike, and fortunately
during such period general caution
is exercised on both sides.
But, inevitably, after each storm
like that of Thursday, disagreeable
slush period follows. It is at this
time, when the streets become less
slippery and movement less danger
Gus, that carelessness arises.
Motor vehicle operators, driving
through or around intersections, are
apt to forget the unhappy walker
who is waiting to step of the pave
ment, hoping that the melting snow
will not 60 over his or her galoshes.
Often spray of slush discolored by
dirt and oil is sprayed over some
ones new overcoat and stockings by
the passing car. Angry looks do not
pay the cleaners bill or atone for the
temporary discomfort.
1t is up to the motorist to be con-
siderate, and slow down or pull a
little away from the would-be cross
ers. Every one will be happier if we
all display a little courtesy this
winter.

Spiritual Progress

the knowledge that the race is max

news that Pope Plus has appoint
ed an apostolic delegate to London
Not since the times Of King Henry
VIII has there been a like gesture OF
friendliness from the Vatican to
England. Even as little as year
ago such action on the part Of
the Holy Father might have been
misunderstood and resented in Great
Britain. Now, however, it is well
coined. The pressure of hostile
forces upon both Catholic and
Protestant churches is bringing
them together in defense of a single
concept of Christian fellowship, in
protection OF institutions sscred to
all disciples Of the Crucified Carpen-
ter of Galilee, regardless OF tradi-
tional sectarian differences.
This in itself is a gain, a victory,
for civilization. But its deeper mean
ing is still more compelling. Logical
ly interpreted, 1t signifies the sur
vival of the cause Of Christ in a
world not yet conquered by hate and
greed and violence.
