By DisgruntIed Band at Pitt
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. ga petit
ton being circulated by disgruntled
Pitt students demanding new deal
In football Is the latest move in a
campaign that close observers be-
lieve eventually will lead to Clark
Shaughnessy's resignation as head
coach of the Panthers.
The petition charges the veteran
exponent of the T formation with
neglecting to teach fundamentals
of the game, directing the teams
play from the bench, marring its
work by continual substitutions, and
of having only 10 men on the field
at three stages of this years game
with Notre Dame.
Shaughnessys reply Is that he
doesn't have enough men to scrim-
mage, that his freshman quarter
backs need help from the bench in
running the team, that he substi-
tutes only for the teams benefit and
that only once during the Notre
Dame game were 10 men on the
field. The coach said he considered
the criticism compliments"
Shaughnessy ascribed the petition
to trouble makers, who are enemies
of the institution. stimulated by
people with Interior motives The
fact remains, however, that he is in
bad graces with most of the press
as we'll as the students and appar-
entity nothing short of an undefeated
team will remedy the situation.
One pet peeve of local sports
writer's seems to be Shaughnessy' s
affiliation with the Washington
Redskins, whom he serves in an
advisory capacity. They believe his
interest in the pros has been at

Chicago Makes Bid
For Service Game

A recent proposal in the Senate
that the Army-Navy football
game be played in various parts
OF the country today brought an
immediate response from Chica-
go's Mayor Edward j. Kelly, who
said the Windy City already had
made preliminary requests to
bring the service classic to Sol
dier Field in 1916. The teams
battled to a 21-2l tie at Chicago
in 1926.
Secretary of War Patterson
said he was in favor of putting
the game on the road. Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota recently offered a resolu-
ton that the game be played in
each Of the 48 States on an alpha
betical basis with no admission
charge. Other members of Con-
gress feel this would be practical
only in States having stadiums
seating $4,000 or more.

Battle Tomorrow

"a ilOU UlSH Ol Well-SeaSOneQ 1OOI-
ball offense is sure to be served at
College Park tomorrow afternoon
with both Virginia Military Insti-
tute and Maryland welding big
spoon. The Old Liners will be the
underdog in the scramble that
starts at 2 o'clock.
The Cadets as well as the Old
Liners have been able to garner a
sizable number Of points this sea-
son but at the same time have been
vulnerable on defense, each having
lost two games. Only two real COM
parsons can be made and both
favor the invaders.
The Cadets licked Richmond,
40-6, and lost to William and Mary,
1879, although outplaying the In
dians. Maryland, on the other
hand, blanked Richmond, 21-0, and
took a 1914 whipping from William
and Mary, although appearing to be
the better outfit for the first half
and 5 minutes of the second.
The Terps have made 143 points
against 89 for the opposition, while
the Cadets have scored 141 to Sc for
their foes.
Present Ace Yearling Pair.
Putting these comparisons aside
as having little meaning, the Cadets
great edge lies in two very i'm
portant factors of the game, punt
ing and PASSING The Old Liners
have no kicker to compare with
Lynn Chewing and no passer in
the same class with Bob Thomason.
These two freshman performers
constitute pair that would give
the best teams in the land the
filters.
Thomason Is eighth in the coun-
try on total offense (passing and
rushing) with 687 yards and tenth
in pass competitions with % out Of 81.
The Old Liners do have a flashy
running game and in this respect
alone probably have a margin on
the young Cadets. Led by Bill Pol
ing, Sam Behr and Harry Bonk,
Maryland can be banked upon to do
a lot Of travelling on the ground
but whether they can do enough of
1t to offset their deficit in kicking
and passing is moot question.
Certainly the Maryland coaches
and players have toiled with zest all
week to eradicate the faults that
cost the William and Mary game
and to improve the Terps' tossing
and booting as well as the protec-
ton to the kicker. Hard work
usually pays dividends.

Brown, freshman back in 1914, and
Johnny Hodnett, fullback, who won
his letter last year. Both are light.

Grid Loss Blamed
On Lack of Pants
By the Associated Press.

CHATSWORTH, Ill, Nov. g.
Principal w. A. Kibler, who
doubled as Chatsworth High
School football coach this season.
says the lack of pair of football
pants chiefly was responsible for
the teams only defeat, 1877, by
Chenoa the opening game.
Kibler explained:
The team was without the
services of Lauren Blair, 2l5-
pound tackle, because none of the
sports shops could furnish foot
ball pants big enough to fit him.
But a college grid coach came
to Kibler's rescue and Chats

 Then General Macarthur is ex- pected to move his headquarters from Yokohama to the U. S. Elm bassy building in Tokyo. About the same time that the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers announced his plans, the First Cavalry shortly after issued far reaching directives that drove home the full impact of the defeat to Japan.
 The directive demanded forth with all information included in codes, necessary to swiftly dis arming Japan's war machine. It ordered the beaten nation to place vast facilities at the call of the steadily enlarging occupat o n forces.
 It. Gen. Eichelberger, whose Eighth Army will occupy Honshu north of Yokohama and all of Hakkaido island, said all Jap troops will be disarmed by Co., tober tenth. In his area, which embraces Tokyo, Gen Eichelber- ger expects to have eight and two thirds combat divisions, more than one hundred thirty thousand troops by that date. He estimated the initial occupation of Japan's four islands will require between three and four hundred thousand troops.
