OffIc«t: 320 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK CITY PITT— and FORDHAM The clash, long envisioned by those who prefer the best in football, is at hand. Pittsburgh, Jock Sutherland's clawing Panthers, perennial champions of the East, intersectional Colossi of the Atlantic Seaboard, and thrice com batants in the Tournament of Roses game, meets Fordham, Jim Crowley's adamant Rams from Rose Hill, blood brothers to the Panther in essaying the back-breaking schedule, the first definite conquerers of the Far West, the con ceded superiors of the South, and the gridiron pride of the knowing New Yorker. On an early October Saturday night, three years ago, Coach Jock Suther land, after watching a magnificent Pittsburgh team ride over a hapless eastern foe, queried an official who had toted the wh stle while Fordham meted out a punishing defeat to Bucknell a week earlier. "How about that Fordham team," asked Jock. "Do you think we could take them?" JAMES H. CROWLEY, Coach "I don't know whether you could or JOCK SUTHERLAND, Coach not," replied the frank official. Last Monday, Frank Leahy, who, along with Hugh Devore, has seen the Panthers in action this season, said: "They are awfully tough. They are probably the toughest team in the East; and they are nifty!" So Fordham, today, as through a period of years, knows Pitt, just as Pitt knows and has known Fordham. It is surprising that two so refreshingly strong opponents have not met before on the gridiron. Both colleges have known abler representatives on the chalked sward. Both have also known less talented teams. It remained for the 1935 chapter in eastern football schedule making to bring Pitt and Fordham together in a season when both were in a formative stage. Pitt, for example, lost ten regulars by graduation, and had to build another strong team around Leon Shedlosky and Bob La Rue, right halfbacks, both of whom will have much to say about the progress of today's struggle. Fordham, absolutely devoid of a good forward passer at the beginning of the season, had to enter upon a rib-rending series of games, depending upon the gradual development of linemen and backs, for the most part inexperienced in varsity competition, or fresh from the Freshman team. Pitt has won four games out of five, and so has Fordham. Pitt has defeated Waynesburg, 14-0; Washington and Jefferson, 35-0; West Virginia, 24-6; and Penn State, 9-0; and has lost to Notre Dame, 9-6. Fordham has defeated Franklin and Marshall, 14-7; Boston College, 19-0; Vanderbilt, 13-7; and Lebanon Valley, 15-0; and has lost to Purdue, 28-0. These records are good ones. Furthermore, they imply many things which are not denoted by their scores. One fact implied is that Pitt, which has lost only two of forty November games within the last eleven years, would be very apt to turn the tables on Notre Dame on any given Saturday this month. An interesting fact connoted by Fordham's record is that Boston College lost to a very good team in losing to Fordham, since it would not be at all astounding if Michigan State, which was defeated by Boston College, knocked Pop Warner's admittedly robust Temple team out of the unbeaten ranks today. Comparative scores are certainly misleading, but in these instances, they do not indicate that Pitt and Fordham are worthy of low places in the eastern football charts. Pittsburgh hasn't lost a football game to an eastern college team since 1928. Since 1928, Fordham has lost two games to eastern opponents. When the Panthers and the Rams dip their colors, it is not to the effete East. This season, Jock Sutherland and his brilliant young men in Blue and Gold have successfully defended their record from the macu late intentions of four elevens. In three games with Eastern teams, two of which, Franklin and Marshall and Boston College, rank very high in the minds of unbiased observers, Fordham has come through undefeated One of the young men who will at tempt to maintain Pitt's seven-year Eastern record spotless is Frank Patrick of East Chicago, Indiana, the leading scorer of the East. Mr. Frank Mautte, an outstanding will-o'-the wisp in the making, will rival Frank Patrick in attracting the attention of the crowd. Both will be shows in themselves, not withstanding their team-mates or the rival bands. Pitt has a wonderful team and a wonderful record, but Pitt can place only eleven men on the field at one time. Eleven men can block only so hard, and tackle only so hard. Fordham can also place eleven men on the field, who can block and tackle just as hard as the Pitt men, if they enter the game, possessing the ideal mental pitch. All :»;.<:: :J''^^ of which resolves itself into this—-if Fordham blocks and tackles, today, JOSEPH MANIACI there will be a ball game—a ball game. JOHN MICHELOSEN Captain and Fullback TIM COHANE.
