Pitt—W. & .1. Both Use Pop’s System // / i / / F t v H H J By SOL METZGER Battles between coaches bring out points ot odd interest. When Lafayette and Pitt meet, the respective coaches, Jock Sutherland and Herb McCracken, get together afterwards to talk about the old days when they knew each other before going to college and discussed football. Both were working at nights and had much time to confab. Now when Pitt and W. & J. meet today in Pittsburgh the rival coaches, Andy Kerr being the W. & J. mentor, bring into tlie fray about the same kind of football 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. Andy has a bit more slight-of-hand stuff, Jock more sheer power. That is the way football goes. Andy, being small, has been forced to think along the lines of trick stuff. Jock, being big, calculates that the shortest distance to the goal is a straight line. His teams bang it out. Thus today W. & J. will use companion plays, plays that start alike and are radically different. Here’s one. Ball snapped to No. 7, who turns and gives it to .No. 1, circling to his rear. Note the clever way Andy swings his line into the interference. Once that is worked a team is on the look-out for it ever after. That’s what Andy figures. In Monday’s release we’ll show how he uses this play to pave the way for a smashing line buck.
