was that everybody realized Vir-
ginia had two tough ball games in
Tulane and North Carolina and
actually doesn't figure to win
either. Plus the fact that two
years ago the Cavaliers won six

a madhouse. Were they going
Cotton, Sugar or Orange? Well
they lost three of the next four
games and didn't 60 anywhere.
Somebody asked about the long

PITTSBURGH. Nov. II. The
University Of Pittsburgh and some
Of its friends don't like the title
of a magazine article on Pitt foot
ball entitled Purity Dies at Pitt. y
No one objects to the Saturday
Evening Post story by Associate
Editor Harry T. Paxton. Pitt Of
f1cials call it a fair enough recital
Of the schools football history.
But they insist Panther Purity
is not dead and that the title
does not match the article.
Tom Hamilton, former athletic
director at Annapolis who came
to Pitt this year in the same
capacity, said ut is surprising" the
magazine used the title when the
substance of the story does not
bear out the implication"
Hamilton added:
"This crude device would infer
that I am involved in shady prac-
tices and naturally resent this. "
OF Hamilton, a former Navy
captain and Navy grid coach, the
article said 'he Is q thoroughly
honest fellow who sincerely be-
lieves that good varsity teams
have a definite place in fostering
a schools esprit de corps"

Guepe said, masterpiece OF
understatement.
Guepe explained that Michels
trouble was that the tendon hold
ing the collar bone to the shoulder
had stretched and slipped out OF
place. Gene Schroeder, the Wash

trouble early In the season. But
Schroeder's case was worse than

drilled in the bone and the ten

"He's All America and anything

Guepe was asked about the

Art didn't hesitate when somebody
asked If Tulane was better than
