LOGAN, HERE ON
VISIT, LAUDS
PANTHER BACKS.
BY CHICK KENNY

Roland Logan, former George
Washington University athletic
trainer who severed his relations
with the Colonial institution to ad-
minister unto the Boston Red Sox
three years ago, is a visitor in
town. He is now associated in a
similar capacity with the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh.
Logan is visiting old friends here
and is raving about the chances Of
the Panthers on the grid this fall.
If you take your football pools
seriously-and who doesn't-then
draw a ring around the name of
Pitt on those little cards each
Wednesday during the football
season.
The former Colonial trainer says
that the Panthers will present one
of the greatest backfields in the
country the coming season. The
famous "Biggie" Goldberg has
been moved to the fullback posi-
ton by Coach Jock Sutherland,
with Dandy Dick" Cassiano and
Curly StebbinS at the halfback
posts. At quarter "Chicks Chick
erneo, 220-p quarterback,
holds sway.
PANTHERS AWAIT RAMS
"They just can't miss" exclaims
Logan. "and that goes for Ford
ham, too. You know Fordham and
Pitt have played three scoreleSS
ties, but the Panthers are laying
for the New Workers this year.
And we meet them in Pittsburgh"
In addition to his training activ-
ity, Logan teaches a course, care
and Treatment of Injuries" in the
School of Education and is booked
to instruct a class in this subject
at the University of Kansas Sum-
mer Coaching School late next
month.
Other teachers at the Jayhawk
institution are Sutherland, on foot
ball, and John Bum, successful
Stanford coach, on basketball.
Logan is a very busy man at
Pitt throughout the year. The
Panthers support an elaborate
sports program which includes, in
addition to football, basketball,
baseball and track, such sports as
hockey, wrestling, swimming, box
ing and cross-country. And talk
about being buSy-Wow!
FULL SCHEDULE
Logan makes trips with every
sports team, which makes him q
very tired young man by the time
Sunday rolls around. Here's a
good example of the daily life OF
the Pitt trainer:
On Thursday, he accompanied
the Panther basketball team to
Morgantown. Immediately follow
ing the game he returned to Pitts
burgh at 3 in the morning, to take
train to Cleveland for a hockey
game with Western Reserve. Then
back to Pittsburgh again, at 4 in
the morning, to drive to New York
city to be on hand when the
Panther trackmen run in the I. c.
"A meet at Madison Square Gar
den.
IT love the work. Give me the
college boys every day, instead
of the professionals" Logan ex-
plains. "You deal with a bundle
of team spirit when you are
working with college boys-not
a bunch of moddy-coddles like
the pro performers"

Mystery Tournament

Most Washington's feminine
minister's are sticking close to
their home links during the dog
days. On Friday at Army, Navy,
the ladies stage a "speck" tour
nament, details of which are a
mystery to DANNY BURTON,
Navy pro, as well as to quite
a few golfers with whom 7 have
talked.
To clear up the mystery, MRS.
E. L. KING, of Army, Navy. ex-
planned that a "Speck" tourna-
ment was a very simple little
affair, which was suggested in
a small booklet put out by the
P. G. A. on novelty events.
Golfing gamblers who are not
satisfied with losing their shirts
on IS Nassau games, frequently
fall unconsciouSly into a "Speck"
tournament when they start bet
ting a dollar here and a dollar
there on who has the longest
drive, who is nearest to the cup
on the green, etc., etc.
