PITT IS FAVORED

Great Panther

Team Pointed For This Tilt

Indiana May Pull Surprise Against Ohio State, Says Harry Grayson.

By HARRY GRAYSON

SOUTH BEND, Nov. 3.—A modern series that quickly came to be a national headliner ends here Sat-

urday with what appears to be its |

greatest edition. Notre Dame is severing football relations with Pittsburgh, for one reason or another, and it seems a shame, for the compact brick stadium, built on the campus here by the immortal Knute Rockne, isn't half large enough to accommodate all who would travel miles to see the country’s biggest gridiron show thus far this season. Following a poor start this autumn, Notre Dame returned the sparkle to Irish eyes in the final period of the Navy battle, and with little Andy Puplis as its newest star, again rose to telescopic heights in nosing out the

seen since he left Tulane to coach Minnesota in 1932. That's a rare compliment, Bierman has had a couple of fair to middling outfits himself over that stretch. : Regardless of Bierman's praise and the fact that Notre Dame unquestionably again is in full stride, Pitt is this writer's selection and no doubt will be a favorite.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Nov

an upset victory over Saturday received a setback today when X-ray pictures revealed that George Miller, regular center and place-Kicker, received a fractured thumb in the Nebraska week. Physicians doubted that he will be able to enter the lineup against Ohio State.

Purdue Regulars Back in Action

LAYETTE, Ind. Nov. 3 (U. P.) — Three injured Purdue players returned to the lineup today. They were the two ends, James Zachary and Don Powell, and Cecil Isbell, halfback.

Record Lowered By Butler Harrier

GREENCASTLE, Nov. 3. — A checkup of records today revealed that William Southworth, Butler University cross-country runner, broke the course record at DePauw jast Saturday when he negotiated the 33% miles in 19 minutes 27 seconds. The former record, held by Dawson of Wabash College, was 20 minutes 29 seconds. Butler won the race, 24-31, over DePauw's harriers.
