^PittsburgMust Hurdle Nittany Lion Has More Than Once Proved Big Mouthful for Panther

By GEORGE CURRIE Penn and Cornell fill the nearby football horizon tomor­

row at West Philadelphia, but let that not cloud oyer the fact that young Mr. Uansa of Pittsburg folds up his football pants and tosses his jersey into the locker for the last time tomor­row night. So do his illustrious teammates, Donchess, the outstanding end of two Eastern seasons, and Parkinson, a ball-carrier who is the coach's dream come true.

Mention is made of this in consideration of the Panther's climax game against the traditionary and honorable foe, Penn State. The team from State College is all that stands in the w4y .of an unbeaten: and untied Pitt, with a claim on the imaginary championship of the country. And in case one be rash enough to exclaim, with an eye upon the dressing being stuffed into to­morrow's turkey for early roasting in .the morning, let it be restated that the unbeaten and untied teams are exceedingly scarce this season. In the East only Western Maryland, survives with the Panther. In the Middle West only Notre Dame and Purdue. In fact, the heaven-bom elect can be counted on the fingers of the hands.

But even as Colgate, which meets Brown tomorrow, has learned to count no chickens as hatched be­fore the last tooting whistle, so will Pitt gang warily against Penn State. A b u m f child knows the fire, runs the saying; and Pitt has burned its fingers more than once in handling those flaming, last ditch standees of the Nittany Lion.

ONE "DEAD" ONE HEARD FROM H

HEWITT NEEDS SOME SUPPORT

New York may break away from dinner to see Syracuse and Colum­bia have at each other, or to watcn N. Y. U. meet Carnegie Tech. After nightfall these four teams will be plied With white add dark meat and

' cranberry sauce and mince pie; but* under the kinshine or clouds of the daytime they will be fed upon the glory of doing and dying, particu­larly in the last game of the season.

Ostensibly. Syracuse is touch-dowfis better than Columbia. The Blue and White, with its smart, wiggling Hewitt, will have the best back on the field. The Morning-side eleven, however, has yet to cash in on his smartness and speed. So far,; he has been delivered to the line of scrimmage with no more ceremony than Aunt Eugenie's old leather trunk bounced out of a baggage car. The best back in the world'is entitled to look for a little help in sifting through six or seven tacklers before he takes up his private battle with the oncoming secondaries.

Give Hewitt some hard-hitting interference. Hand.him a Miller or Dunn, such as Yale gave Booth and McLennan, or a Mullins or Brill, such as Notre Dame flings ahead of Jack Elder, and the pale Blue flame of Columbia's backfield would -o knocking out first downs with the best, , N. Y. XL's problem, Carnegie Tech,

is the toughest of the year for the Violet, Tech, still coached by Judge Steffens, who in his playing days was as small as Alble Booth, and who takes his vacation in the fall, so that justice will not have to wait upon him—his bench is in Chicago —gave Notre Dame its hardest bat­tle. All the South Bend players say so.

Again the Violet must solve a pass attack conceived in guile and exe­cuted with speed and deception. But N. Y. U. has been in stride ever since the Georgia game, when a fiercely-spun pass attack, alternat­ing with a hard-hitting, lightning-running game, was neatly stopped by the simple expedient of scoring touchdowns so fast in the first five-eighths of the game that the red-shirted Bulldog's from down South couldn't overhaul the lead when they finally slipped their <gear into high.

What Carnegie Tech has which Georgia lacked is an alert and re­sourceful , defense. If Follett and Meyers and their . teammates can beat Carnegie Tech, then N. Y. TJ.'s team will go down in history as one of the most amazing comeback squads since the war.

COLGATE NOT COUNTING UNSCORED TOUCHDOWNS

Colgate vs. Brown is always a game to write home to the folks about. In the first place, it is very often a party for the underdog. Time after time, one or the other has come up to this game, heaped with honors, only to leave most of them upon the field of battle.

Not that either loses caste by seeming to slump before the other. •It isn't that kind 6f a game. Hard fought throughout, with boys tense from excitement and keyed tip to end the season in a blaze of glory, this is no game to be judged by past performances ever. Still, with a pair of ends like Orsi and Stromeillo, with Yablok and Dowler and others at hand, Brown's tasK would appear to be a steep, uphill job. Yet Tryon's great team of 1925 couldn't get any better than a tie from Brown, which was beaten by Harvard when the latter was passing through a season like Princeton has just completed.

That's why Colgate counts no touchdowns in this game until they are scored.

Clairvoyant, Bringing Siattery Back to Lite

By ED HUGHES

Among the persons not listed at the ringside in Buffalo the other night were Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir A. Conan Doyle^/. a piece of negligence these two scientific gentlemen should— lament' to eternity. They missed the most astonishing demonstration of spiritualism that has ever been given. And practical spiritualism at that. They missed, too, the most gifted "medium" of. them all, a man who could have grinned at Houdini and his, incredulous pen. It was a bad night for thoughtless scientists.

Of course Messrs. Lodge and Doyle can be forgiven,.for not even the soothsayers of the sports columns had the faintest inkling that the pugilistically deceased James Slat* 'tery was to be brought to life by the master clairvoyant of them all—Professor Max Rosenbloom.

• As a matter of fact, the professor him­self was probably the most astonished gentleman in the housjj^ when he surveyed his miraculous but painful result. Pro,-^ fessor Rosenbloom has attempted communications With they-Queensberry dead in the past but * • —— ' —?

with quite diflerent results, Usually he has not only failed to restore his subjects to the living world but has < generally left them "deader," so to speak.

Evidently your clairvoyant has his "peak" as well as pugilists, that magic moment when, he is phenom­enally in tune with the mystic melodies of life in the great be­yond. Or else how could the hith­erto independable Professer .Ro­senbloom have completely van quished the erudite efforts of Lodge and Doyle, to say nothing of Dr. Phelps? Is it possible that Buffalo's spiritualistic wave length has a sympathetic connection with' the

av ers Rebellion Promises Trouble for U. S. G. A.

Two other unbeaten teams, one of them also untied, take the field. Tennessee meets Kentucky at Lex­ington and will become the South's entry into the annual squa.bble for a championship crown,-which exists only on paper, if she wins. That's a funny thing about football. The same is played on the field, but the old grads insist on playing it all over again, on notepaper, after it is only a memory and history.

"If Albie Booth had only been in top shape." is the text of one burn­ing letter received in this typewriter precinct yesterday. Alas, but when one covers a news event he is ex­pected to report not "ifs" but "is's" as'they unfold before his eyes. Ah, well, lay on. Macduff, and cursed be he who first shall cry enough.

It may he over-emphasis, but one must hand it to a game which can pull the aging alumnus out of his easy chair to get after a typewriter pounder through the U. S. mails in behalf of a player he only sees far

down on the field. After all, what other game can make old men pur­ple up and fair women look so black?

One Is accused by alumni of being down on Yale, Harvard. Princeton, Fordham, N. Y. U., Pennsylvania, California. Cornell. Colgate, Syra­cuse. Bucknell, Dartmouth, and -what are you? Only Columbia is as yet unrepresented among the hard words received, from thought­ful alumni who take a pen in hand. One has also been accused of favor­ing all the above and more, so there you. are.

-We all play football, even if we do sit with a rug wrapped around our feet while the boys on the field take the bumps. When "Hoot" Ellis of Yale had his trick-knee cap snapped back into place Saturday, everybody cheered. I strongly sus­pect a psychologist would tell us we cheered because "Hoot" seemed to be over his pain. That eased our collective conscience as he took his place in the Eli backfield again.

Big Hans Steinke, that sturdy German oak. won the decision over Matros Kcrclinko in the semi-final. Hans, one of the prides of the Ridgewood citizenry, hasn't been doing so well lately. He doesn't throw his opponents as was his wont. The wrestling gods must have deserted him.

Prank Judson and George Hagen wrestled to a draw in another af­fair. And George was given two matches with the champion not so long ago. Does this mean that Judson will meet the champion next? in another affair Mike Romano threw Joe Rogeki in 19 minutes.

Illinois Gridders

Want ISo Captain

Champaign, 111., Nov. 27 i/P)— University of Illinois football regulars have yoted against a football captain for 1930.

Out of the 18 letter men en­titled to vote for captain at the annual banquet, 15 wrote "No Coptain" across their bal­lots, and none was chosen. They said a football player cannot, turn in his best game if he has the captaincy to worry about.

By RALPH TROST Maybe there will be war! All necessary excuse was pro­

vided by the United States Golf Association in its printed report, in which it states in clear, more or less concise teTms just exactly what was anticipated. The United States Golf Association, solemn and conservative as ever, has answered the plea made by the Massachusetts goff ruling body in which it requested.permission to pay the expenses of its team in the Lesley Cup matches. Payment^of golf team expenses other than of the Walker Cup team and the various golf teams participating in the Harding Cup event, which is part of the national public links cham-*\ pionship, will not be permitted.

The Massachusetts Golf Associa­tion threatened to do all sorts of things if the U. S. G. A. would not permit payment of team expenses In the Lesley Cup series. It de­manded that right because of the Walker and Harding Cup expense privileges. It based its demands on the fact that Canada pays the way for its representatives. But for all the believed sound basis for its de­sires the U. S, G. A. holds up a forbidding hand and says "Nayl"

The U. S. G. A. does not clearly state that violation of the existing rule will mean banishment from the ranks of the accepted simon purcs. It didiVt have to. That comes to the culprit (?) automat­ically. The Massachusetts G. A. was promised an answer by the U. S. G. A. before Dec. .1. It has received it.

BELIEVED TO HAVE SUPPORT FROM OTHERS

Now we shall sec whether or not there will be a war. The Bay State golfers backed President Ryestrom with a vote of confidence before he set out for New York and his meet-inp with golf's high court.

Three years ago this same propo­sition came up. presented by a dif­ferent Massachusetts leader. It had practically the same basis and re­ceived the same answer. President Ryestrom. however, has taken a dif*-ferent turn. He has gone into the proposition in a big way. The vari-

| otis sectional associations through­out the country have been circular­ized. And the Massachusetts 'Golf Association has received satisfac­tory promises of support from cer­tain sections. Just what sections and the strength of the support is a matter of conjecture. That In­formation is still possessed solely by the Bay Staters.

Battles with the U. S. G. A. aren't rare. And most, of the time they arc losing fights. Only one section, the second largest in the country, the Western G. A., has gained anything (hat might be construed as victory. Actually it was a compromise, but even that is better than a draw no matter how you look at it. The U. S. O. A. is strong. That was illustrated when It legislated on the new ball that. Is to become standard in slightly more than a year. It didn't waM. for the daddy of all golf government bodies, the Roval and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.

„ o ~ -i THIS REBELLION ! MAY BE SERIOUS

You cannot tell. This particular rprislng may amount to something. And then again il may fizzle. It must l)o remembered (hat Robert W. Lesley, donor of the cup for which the Massachusetts, Metropolitan, Pennsylvania and Canadian teams stage their annual four-cornered fray, has the Tljcht to withdraw the permanent trophy from competition.

He has been quoted in the past as saying that the cup was put up for friendly competition among the gen­tlemen golf (earns from the three big sections in the United Slates. Canada came in later. Who knows but that Rolxnt Lesley will decide that the present conflict is not a gentlemanly a'JTMr and take back thfc trophy. I t is within his power.

The Massachusetts golfers had re­quested 1l\at their association be'l

permitted to pay the carfare, pull-man and general hotel expenses of the team. The U. S. G. A. fearing trouble of the sort too frequently encountered in amateur track ath­letics and in amateur tennis, which difficulties have been aired annually with undesirable regularity, just couldn't see it. They went as far as to admit there was some logic behind the request and admitted that some genuine amateurs would suffer a bit from its stand but, viewing the af­fair broadly, the U. S. G. A. couldn't see that it would benefit golf as a whole.

Back of the whole affair one finds youth and the ever present desire to win whether it be a marble shoot­ing contest or a war. Each of the four-sections Involved In the Lesley-Cup matches has many young golf­ers who have the ability to make places on the team but not the cash to pay their way. Massachusetts, in particular, has had plenty of young golfers worthy of places on its team. Massachusetts thought It saw a rule working against youth. In seeking to help those youths, and men past voting age. who found the spending of as much money as would be de­manded by a three-day trip a severe handicap, the Massachusetts Golf Association made its plea which may or may not end in a lively rebellion in the largest of all golf associations.

—o— TREVIOUS EFFORTS WERE FAILURES

Singularly tl)e effdrt of the Bay State golfers would have had more support two years ago than at the moment, for just as certainly as opinion then favored anything that would help the youthful golfer so has tlic general point of view swung like a pendulum toward the other extremity. It is believed in certain quarters, and not without basis, that youth is receiving entirely too much attention not only for Its own good but for the general good of the more seasoned golfers and for the game in general.

Youth has flocked into tourna­ments in numbers not anticipated by those who sponsored their ap­pearances. In fact too many tour­naments are simply cluttered with golfers so young that they have a great deal to learn. No one seeks to deny that the competition af­forded in tournaments Is excellent practice and is largely the reason we have so many fine young players.

,ager to Critz, Finds Himsel Shy of Trade I

By THOMAS HOLMES The noise out Cincinnati way leads one to expect Hughey

Crltz, the drawling Mississippi half-pint who can play such a stylish game at second base, in the uniform of the Giants next season, but rumors among the wise men of the East are to the effect that John McGraw and the new Redland bosses are having considerable trouble getting together on the deal.

McGraw wants Critz rather, badly. The leader of the Giants fairly dotes on great infield combinations and the New York Club needs a fellow like the midget from the delta country to round out its present inner defense. Bill Terry, Travis Jackson and Fred Lindstrom,^ : ; ;

with Critz, would make a pretty nifty sight, working together at the Polo Grounds.

—o— GIANTS HAVE HAD

1 GREAT INFIELDS Perhaps that combination would

not have the all around class of McGraw's greatest infi&ld, which held forth in 1922 and consisted of the towering George Kelly at first, the dashing Mr. Frank Frisch a t second, that living picture of grace, David Bancroft, at -short, and the ubiquitous Mr. Heinie Groh at third. But the 1930 Giant infield, with Critz, would be about as neat and gaudy a defensive affair as you see around, nowadays.

John McGraw has always been a connoisseur of such things. He had another great infield a couple of years ago when Terry. Jackson and Lindstrom played with Rogers Hornsby. There was an infield that knew-what it was all about. Inci­dentally, it could riffle the horse-hide.

The present troubles of the Giant leader began when he allowed Hornsby to go to Boston for a mess of pottage, or so. The next season, Andy Cohen, labelled a "second Hornsby," played at second base. After a month, it became evident that Andy was merely a "first Co­hen." He was released to Newark not long ago. Andy Reese, the fair-haired Southern boy who would have played second for the Giants last season, was crlpnled with an infected foot most of the season.

—o— CUCCINELLO MIGHT REPLACE CRITZ

Reese leaves something to be de­sired as a defensive, second baseman. He plays an energetic and ambitious oanio, but he is not .a second base­man, by instinct and Is not always in the right place at the proper time. For a while last fall, a young Texan, named Eddlq Marshall, was touted for the Job,-but besides being a short-stop by trade, Marshall was also obviously inexperienced.

That explains why McGraw would like Critz.

Could Dan Howley, new manager of the Reds, see Ills' way clear to strengthening his club by a deal for Crltz, he probably will do so. The Reds have a farm hand named Johnny Cucclnello, working at sec­ond base in Columbus whom they

—o— McGRAW WILLING TO SURRENDER FRANK HOGAN

A first baseman or pitchers is the chief desire of th'e Reds and some­thing that McGraw is not in a posi­tion to supply. A few weeks ago, Cincinnati needed batting punch most of all, but Howley, with true American League optimism, is counting heavily upon Harry Hell-mariR and Bob Meusel to jack up his outfield and his batting attack.

The Reds, however, might go for hefty Frank Hogan, the catcher who hits like a pile-driver and runs like a bear. It is said that Hogan is the athlete whom McGraw is willing to surrender for Critz, and the lumbering catcher may further strengthen the Cincinnati array of hitters in a needed spot. v

Frank did not get such a good mark on his report card last sum­mer. He was fined ior being out late one night or missing a signal or both. And when MsGraw fines 'em, they not only stay fined but usually get traded.

GIVES CREDIT TO AN ASSISTING "MEDIUM."

These are questions that only^' . Professor Rosenbloom can answer,"' and already I understand he h a s M ;

generously given'a certain amount of credit to an assistant medium,*'! the referee. Such liberalities, hoWTHT ever, are common among Queens^ berry clairvoyants. The professors^.. modesty, isn't likely to overshado\v;iS bis art. Rosenbloom, in justice to"^ science, must be hailed as the hero.,;, on this occasion. ._ .',','.',Vr'

The professor's feat was accomv ? plished in-plain view of the spec-10

tators. He exhumed a body thaji,1-'" had been rotting in the grave for ,, years, gave it life and vitality and0 ' . ' a chance to once more get on ili'^,'; the realm of the quick, in the vals'c i ' of swings and uppercuts. How can---'" the world withhold him credit I O F ^ ' that, whethr he wants it or nd?-'/^ Render unto Caesar whether i l w a r r-a close decision or not. ^R'"

Meager accounts of the astound*?, ing manifestation in Buffalo. iridtW"--cate that the usual course of clairi'— voyance was,/ adopted by Professor Rosenbloom. But or course every-)i »,-thing was intensified, made a thou-^, , sandfold stronger than the orders " g i v e n . • • ' '

_ o — :j •''«*-» FOUND SPIRIT WORLD OF " ^ SLATTERY IN GOOD HUMOR. ^ :

Professor Rosenbloom u p o n ^ j mounting the rostrum immediately';'.-, discovered the spirit world In gooqU;! humor, anxious to establish a eon'-j,,,V necti.on. He called.for Jimmy Slat-v" . tery,. A bell tinkled and James•&$&.?*' peared. An excellent beginning;. ; ; .

The professor then requested tna'.i(i customary introductory raps family.'.','; iar to all patrons of the seance,''i;j Siattery supplied them with a vigor that far eclipsed the wildest desire^ of Rosenbloom. These 'Tappings .^ '^ ^ in fact, made it patent to the prdwn: fessor from the .start that his effort; m would be an extraordinary success. V

Siattery then began to speak up in-V: tones that even the bewildered pro-^. , fessor could not mistake. . ,,jO.*>i.

"I am your Siattery of old." h«~ :* . said, "so beware." And then the re-^,.'. vitalized one began to give painfully;,;,; . satisfactory evidence of same. In $ $ n c language of the spirit world one rapyvvK *<l according to the professor, mean#,•-.., "no" and three "yes." Upon putting;- 4 the question to Siattery. Mr. Rosen-'?-. bloom received a most disconcerting,-.). - 4ji reply. As the professor-himself re?.^;,; lates it: x y;.y,v PROFESSOR AIDED BY SLEEP-WAKING STATE.

"So, voluble did my subject become,'"'^. 7 explained the professor,, proudly^Vi'i that I practically became a 'yes»rilj.[ man.' I immediately got out my at-W'" phabet of letters in order that -X^),n could recoi-d more complicated mes-^ , ; sages for science, and I was notdis- ,-'•,. appointed.

'•Siattery," Rosenbloom coht!nued< '„ "rapped out hooks, jabs, swings, up-»;-percuts, performed miracles of foot'-i.^.. work and generalship. I was dumber,, ; founded with my success. My ch,^,,^ thusiasm mounting, and wishing to ,f; further aid the demonstration, 3CM{, -.ailckly called on my hypnotism. t ? R l -slid into a hypnotic trance. No.^'..; doui i this sleep-waking state g r e a t l y ' ^ benefited'the performance.

"There was no trickery or hallucl,-natiou about my work, let me point' out. Whatever the reaction toward'"1'" the spectators, I know t h i t my iin«T press 01 Vi are most definitive and' to convincing:. I heard the ringing of ''• bells in and out of my head and tlw V ring tilted like a soak in a speak-^ci easy. I hear strange voices, prob-->>-i.. ably BufTalonian. I came from the.: Bronx. «}3 rtf

"c*at(ery. I'm told, .appeared in •• the complete human figure but most-:' ly I observed only his hands. He banged them on my face and b o d y - ' const.\ntly. There can be no mls*y< lake about that."

There yon have the professor's*'" -own story, and I think It Is an im- • perishable human document. Strange iO ' to say. the professor, when .seen, ap­peared to be in a fearfully despond- •«•'' ent state of mind, badly shaken up-;..' ) and upset. This is probably due to . (he terrific strain and generally tempestous evhihg he had rxpc-ii- ifl enccd in performing his miracle.

PROP. ROSLNBLOOM THE ONE , ( IMMORTAL RING FIGURE.

The professor has lapsed iifto an almost mule melancholia, his one doleful utterance being "I'm out. o( . Ihe running. I'm out of the run- ,\ • nlng."

Such may bt I he case, yet Rosen­bloom. for all that, has done more for pugilism than Trimey, bempsey or an the resl combined. TiihheV« learning and Dempsey's devastatms knuckle prnius explode info thin va-
