When La- fayette and Pitt meet, the tive coaches, Jock Sutherland and Herb McCracken, get together afterward to talk about the old days when they knew each other before going to college and discussed foot ball. Both were working at night and had much time to confab. Now when Pitt and W. & J. meet to- morrow in Pittsburgh the rival coaches, Andy Kerr being the W. & J. mentor, bring into the fray about the same kind of foot ball knowledge. Sutherland . played guard at Pitt under Pop Warner when Andy was an assistant coach. Later Pop sent Andy to Stanford to establish his system there a year in advance of his own advent on the coast. There is much similarity in their methods and the set of both backs and line. a bit more slight-of-hand _ stuff, Jock more sheer power. That is the way foot ball goes. Andy, being small, has been forced to think along the lines of trick stuff.

While practice periods have been in- tensive all week and have been accel- erated in the last day or two, the Cav~ alier line is still causing the coaches concern. It is certain that Symington, veteran guard, will be on crutches, an it now has developed that Motley, who has been on the other guard position, will not be able to meet V. P. I. Two new guards will have to be used against the Gobblers. Capt. Luke and Debutts in the tackles, George Taylor at center and Turner and Flippin on the ends seem to be certain starters for tomorrow. - The backfield probably will include Sloan, Faulconer, Kaminer and Lewy. BLACKSBURG, Va., Noyember 9 (). —with the homecoming battle with the Virginia Cavallers here tomorrow near, Coach Andy Gustafsen is driving the Virginia Polytechnic Gobblers at top speed in preparation for the game.

With Tomko, Rule and Looney hurt, the Gobblers will face the Cavaliers with a weakened backfield.

BY PAUL R. MICKELSON. Assoclated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 9.—A tow- headed sophomore, Oran Pape, who can run the length of the gridiron in less than 10 sec- onds, and not that giant In- dian line crusher, Mayes McLain, wor- ries Ohio State as it marshals its forces for its championship elimination com- bat with Jowa tomorrow. Pape, who In about 40 minutes of work all season has taken the lead in individual scoring in the Big Ten by making eight touchdowns, has been the subject of long lectures by Coach Jack Wilce of Ohio all week. “If you can stop him I think we can beat Iowa and win the Big Ten foot ball champlonship,” Wilce had told his men. Given any kind of interference, and once past line of scrimmage, Pape is an extremely hard man to catch or stop. Like Red Grange, he can wig- gle away from tacklers, and on an open field he is even faster. ‘With every player except Farroh, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1928.
