Pitt Pins Grid Hopes
On lis 17-Year-0|ds

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 4.-P-
Pittsburgh, once synonymous with
the mighty in football, is fielding a
neW-deal team which will cause
many old grads to rub their eyes to
make certain it is Pitt outfit.
Clark Shaughnessy, coming to
Pitt just five years after its football
bubble was Debated, has put in a
sweeping transformation.
Instead of old fashioned power
plays of Jock Sutherland he has in
stalled his famous T formal ton. This
has been accompanied by flock of
other changes, including the scrap
ping of the teams traditional gold
and blue uniforms for bright red and
white ones.
But with a war on, he will not
guarantee one change-a powerful
comeback by the Panthers. That's
because the bulk of his squad is
made up of 17-year-olds.
This is not a bad looking squad "
SAID Shaughnessy, whose Panthers
open against Notre Dame here Sep
temoer 25. IF I had it for two
years / think Pitt would be okay But
theSe boys are just babies. They
haven't the maturity and we're not
going to be in class with teams

Jack Plans 10 Swarm
|0ver Montgomery in
Title Bout Friday
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Little Beau
Jack intends to swarm all over Bob
Montgomery In an effort to win
back the lightweight boxing title
(New York and Pennsylvania YER
sion) at Madison Square Garden
Friday night.
The information that Beau plans
to fight differently than he did on
May 81, when he lost the title to
the Philadelphia Bobcat, came today
from Chick Wergeles, manager of
the former Georgia shoe shine boy.
ut isn't that the Beau is changing
his style. but rather that he didn't
fight his usual way against Mont
gomery in their first bout" ex-
planned the talkative Chick.
1.-THE Beau had Montgomery on
the verge of knockout in the first
couple Of minutes by swarming all
over him." Wergeles continued.
Then he stayed away from him
for the rest of the Is rounds"
This paints pretty picture from
Wergeles' viewpoint. Montgomery
followers point out that 1t was a
savage right to the jaw in the
first round that made Jack climb
on his bicycle in the May 15-rounder.
If he had kept coming in, they con-
tinued, Montgomery would have
knocked him out.
1.-THE Beau can fight any way he
wants." asserted frankie Thomas,
Montgomery's manager. Bob is In
great shape and demonstrated in
beating Fritzie zivic he can win
against any style"
