OPPONENTS PROVIDED BY GOLDBERG, DADDIO Washington to Find Averell Daniell, All-American Tackle, Tough Foe SUTHERLAND IS ELATED Sees Opportunity to Atone for Pittsburgh’s Previous Setbacks By JIMMY DONAHUE Pittsburgh, Dec. 9.—(NEA)—Jock Sutherland’s surprising sophomores of the University of Pittsburgh will attempt the feat that was impossible for three previous veteran teams which the cagy mentor led west— annex the Rose Bowl game in Pasa- dena New Year's Day. The canny Scot makes his fourth trip in eight years to the west coast as head of an invited bowl squad, and frankly acknowledges tt he team that caused him to Gil Dobie at the beginnin: year has come on to a p it ranks with any in Pitt despite the 7-0 defeat by Duquesne and the scoreless tie with Fordham. Sutherland Confident The usual taciturn Sutherland re- ceived the invitation to meet Wash- . ington’s Huskies with a wide grin. Here, he figures, is a chance to re- deem those defeats at the hands of Stanford and Southern California in the Arroyo Seco saucer. In '27 Jock took a grand bunch of boys, headed by Tom Parkinson, Bill Kern, Mike Getto, and Joe Donchess, west to play Stanford, and was rudely jolted, 7-6. Two years later a great Pitt team, led by Jess Quaste, Toby Uansa, Jim McMurdo, and Donchess, tackled Southern California, and came away with a Panther tail twisted to the tune of 47-14. Again, in '32, Jock went west with Warren Heller, Miller Munjas, Mugsy Skladany, Mike Se- bastian, Tar Onder, Izzy Weinstock, and others, only to cry salty tears) in his Scotch and soda after a 35-0! drubbing. Tasted Bitter—Now Sweet? So the invitation is sweet music to Jock, who has tasted nothing but the bitter dregs of defeat in the culminat- ing classic of the season. Surprising sophomores were respon- sible for Pitt's success this year, al- though Sutherland used his master hand at mixing in such veterans as Averell Daniell, senior and All-Amer- ica tackle; Bobby (Baby Face) LaRue, senior halfback; and experienced quarterbacks to direct the play in Arnold Green and Johnny Wood, sen- lors, and Johnny Michelosen, junior. Toward the end of the season, how- ever, even young John Chickerneo, a sophomore, was handling the squad like a veteran. Sophomores Supply Spark Such soph runners as Marshall Goldberg and Harold Stebbins, how- ever, supplied the spark that ignited the Pitt machine. The latter pulled the game with Ohio State out of the fire, and the former ran wild against Notre Dame and Carnegie Tech, prov- ing to be one of the brightest pros-| Pects in the country. In addition to those two, Suther- Jand got some grand halfbacking | from LaRue, whose moniker, “Baby Face,” belies his actions, and, after Bill Stapulis, junior fullback, was in- jured, from Frank Patrick, replace- ment full. Line play was up to the usual Sutherland standard, although it did! have one lapse, probably due to over- confidence, in the game against the hard-charging Duquesne team. Daniell Gibraltar of Line Daniell and Bill Glassford, the big guard, stand out in the line, with sophomore end, Bill Daddio, Steve Petro, Walt, Raskowski, and Al Le- zouski, soph guards, and Fabian Hoff- man, yearling end, shining as first year men. Selection of the Panthers came as & surprise to a lot of people who live below the Mason-Dixon line. Those good folk expected Alabama or LS.U. to get the call—as did a lot of us above the line. Maybe Washington is going to be @ bit sorry it didn’t invite one of the southerners. Jock, veteran of three trips, isn’t going to make any train- ing mistakes or tactical blunders this season, having profited by previous experience. Pitt's team is going in to prevail with a Warner system keyed to a peak against Jimmy Phelan’s Notre Dame disciples. And may the best team win! Sykeston Opens Cage Slate Against Hebron Bykeston, N.

YOUTH, TEMPERED BY VETS, MAKES RANGERS THREAT Demons Suffer First Setback on Home Floor in Past Four Years Chicago, Dec. 9.—(#)—North Dakota University’s cage team handed De- Paul university its first defeat on the DePaul home floor in four years Tues- day night, upsetting the Demons, 36-34. Don Robertson supplied the win- ning basket in the final half minute of play, looping a shot from mid- floor. Robertson had five field goals during the game, as did his team mate, Harold Lemaire. The Nodaks exhibited a fine passing game and their defense repeatedly broke up DePaul plays at the center circle. At halftime the invaders led, 17-16. Yost paced the DePaul attack with five baskets. North Dakota had an edge in drop- ping “long toms,” sinking numerous shots from far out. The Demons were better from the foul line, cashing in on charity attempts ten times to two for the visitors. Going into the second half, the Nodaks crept slightly further ahead on Robertson's tip-in shot. Ed Campton, Nick Yost and Bill Wendt, however, flipped in a basket apiece and the Demons were out in front. But North Dakota didn’t give up. Emmett Birk sank a field goal and Lemaire came through with two baskets to keep the battle close as Yost and Knez were counting for DePaul. Pepke was forced out of the game on fouls at this point when he one of his two free throw attempts to break a 28-28 tie when Yost plunked in two foul shots to increase DePaul’s lead to three points, Birk, Bob Finnegan and Lemaire, however, added baskets in quick suc- cession and sent the Nodaks ahead. They weren't headed from that stage. With less than two minutes to go Campion scored on a long shot and Knez tied the count at 34-all on Kit- tleson’s foul. Then Robertson sank his winning goal.

Over the dynamic more open, more spectacular style of |Protest, the majors have joined play, responses to a nationwide As- sociated Press poll serve to dissi- pate it. Almost without exception, college football leaders point to the wider use of passes, particularly of for- ments of 1936. Don McCallister of South Carolina struck a happy phrase when he sug- gested football offensives had become sO unorthordox that the players con- sidered it was “all right to do any- thing, anywhere, anytime.” Use Pass Regularly Reports from the southwest indi- cated teams there were using just ebout as many passing as running plays. Vanderbilt, under Ray Morri- son, former Southern Methodist coach, reported using more passes than ever before, 15 to 20 a game. Hand in hand with increased use of the eerial attack, the Rocky Moun- tain Conference noted, went higher that sector in which’ the losers scored at least two touchdowns, twice as many as in 1935, Jock Sutherland, Pitt's veteran coach, took the variant viewpoint. “The tendency by most teams,” Sutherland declared, “was to open up and brighten their running attacks to obtain the same ‘spreading effact’ on the defense once sought by passes. The tendency now is toward delayed plays, reverses and spinners.” 8 Formations Common Tom Hamilton of Navy pointed to Scoring honors for the experienced Universal quint were about equally divided between Sorsdahl, J. Roe, E. Spriggs and McGuire while Timmon- son and Kanz, other two members of the squad, helped build up the wide margin of victory. Morlan was the best performer for the Pickups, dropping six field goals and a free throw for 13 points. Thursday night the Knights of Columbus quint will be pitted against Klein's, beaten by the Universajs in their first start. The summary: U.

Robert E. Harlow, tournament man- ager for the professional golfers’ as- sociation, announced Guldahl the winner with an average of 71.63, the lowest ever recorded. Guldahl's resolute finish through the past fortnight in which he won the Augusta and Biltmore tourna- ments, snatched the lead from Harry Cooper of Chicago, second with 71.84 for 82 rounds. 17 Gridders Chosen For East-West Game San Francisco, Dec. 9—(#)—Officials of the shrine east-west football game here New Year's day announced Wed- nesday selection of the following play- ers by Co-coaches Dick Hanley and Andy Kerr for the east squad: Ends: Merle Wendt, Ohto State; Northwestern, and Larry Kelley, Yale.

Coach Ernest Kotchian, who pointed to Fessenden’s record, said Wednesday ‘no opposing ball carrier ever crossed Fessenden’s 30 yard line during the season.

Blackhawks Play Tie, 5th Time in 11 Tilts New York, Dec, 9—(P)}—The Chi- cago Blackhawks, who seldom have specialized in high scoring, are threat- ening to become the National Hockey league's problem children because of their failure to get goals, wider use of spread formations, 50 common in professional football, as a distinct trend. The same tendency was noted in the Pittsburgh sector. Mi ta employed the lateral frequently and so did scattering other teams that had the glue-fingered backs and strong lines to make it go but for the most part the backward pass played a much smaller part than in 1935, Among the other ‘general trends noted by one or more of the observ- ers participating in the poll were: 1, better kicking;~ 2, heavier schedules with fewer “breathers,” 3, more end 4, more multiple passes behind the line of scrimmage; 5, more frequent use of two complete, alternating teams.
