wal Coaches See euean Task Take Grid Title Away From Western
CoIongeIo of Anucostio Shifted
To Coolidge Coaching Post;
Lund Given Higher Rating

Another coaching shift in the
public high schools was made today.
with Julian Colangelo, basket ball
mentor at Anacostia, being trans
ferred to the new Calvin Coolidge
School.
Earlier in the year two other bas-
ket ball coaching shifts were made.
Bruce Kessler, Techs coach, went
to the business teaching staff at
Woodrow Wilson and Johnny Nc
Bride gave up his Eastern post be-
cause Of teaching duties. He was
succeeded by Phil Fox, former Gen.
trail basketer, while the coaching
positions at Anacostia and Tech are
to be assigned.
Lund Given Serious Rating.
With Colangelo's transfer. ROLAND
Lund, Anacostia High football and
baseball coach, steps up to senior
high rating.
The shift came about through the
need Of another physical education
instructor at Coolidge First on the
list of eligibles was Theseus Copeland
of Tottenville. Staten Island, N. Y.
who declined the appointment Fol-
lowing him was Lund, but as Lund
was in the midst Of the football
training season at Anacostia he was
retained there with a higher ranking
and Colangelo was shifted to Cool
idge.
Now topping the list and eligible
for the next opening is John jan
kowski, former Catholic University
gridder and currently director of
the Central Branch of the Boys
Club Of Washington. His chance
of obtaining a school job appears
only fair.
Lund must handle both the junior
and senior high work at Anacos-
tia and undoubtedly will need an
assistant. A new man probably

1910 Comes Booked Before
Purity Plan Was Effected

Outside of that, where do YOU
see a chance for a pure team to
catch its breath? Penn State is up
and coming and well may be one of
the best in the East. Ohio State is
the Big Ten champion, as powerful
as ever. Nebraska and Missouri are
the paladins of the Big Six, whose
football yields to none in bone
crushing quality. Southern Meth
odlst is co-favorite in the South
western Conference, possibly the
fastest league in college football.
Fordham is coming back with an
other of her immovable-oblect spe-
Gals, and Duke-well you know
Duke. Practically nobody beats
Duke any more.
In part, the schedule is a hang
over from the days when Pittsburgh
concentrated on football and had
SUFFICIENT uninhibited athletes on
the pay roll to knock over a tough
enemy once week and never feel it.
This years games were booked be-
fore any one knew what 1910 would
bring to Pittsburgh in the way of
purity and social ambition and Big
Ten police work.

Pitt Finds Itself Stuck
With Killing Schedule
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, Sept. ia nice,
clean example of the killer sched-
ule" in football is the one they have
at the University of Pittsburgh this
year. To all appearances, Pittsburgh
is trying to knock herself out in the
hope of finding herself in the arms
of the Big Ten when she wakes up.
1t is very painful way of crashing
society.
There is no doubt that Pitt hank
ers to mix with the Big Ten, which
now is the Big Nine. Chicago alb
staining. There is little doubt that
the Big Ten wants Pittsburgh, and
will tap the Panthers for bones
sooner or later.
They'd better do it sooner, though,
or there will be no Panthers to tap.
This is what Pittsburgh gets for
attempting to be pure and big time
simultaneously.

Big Ten Football and High
Principles Are Strangers

The Big Ten calls for purity and
high principle in new members
This is fine example of the cold,
bald nerve for which the Big Ten
is famous. There is not, and never
has been, any connection between
Big Ten football and high principle.
1t is just something the boys read
about in book and would not recog-
nize if they saw it.
However, they ask it of Pittsburgh,
and Pittsburgh will achieve it if it
kills her, which it we'll may do.
Having secured herself with soap
and water to meet the specifications
Pitt still wants to be considered a
football power, and she finds herself
stuck with one of these new-fangled,
week schedules which no
pure team can hope to- negotiate.
In order, Pittsburgh meets: Ohio
State. Missouri, Southern Methodist,
Fordham, Carnegie Tech, Nebraska,
Penn State and Duke.
The nearest thing to a soft touch
on the list is Carnegie, which also
is in the throes of reform. Owing to
local circumstances and the influ-
ence Of tradition, however, the Car
negle-Pitt game always is a stand
on and cannot be counted in the
bag by even the loyalest Pittsburgh
fanatic
