Jock Gives |

Reason for Resignation

Claims Aid Refused Boys Who Upheld Victory Tradition at Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 26 (U. P).—|

Dr. Jock Sutherland resigned as football coach at Pitt because “the

university no longer cared to pro-|:

vide the necessary assistance or support to the boys” who were to maintain the tradition of winning

teams, the famous coach said today |f

in a copyrighted article in the Pittsburgh Press. . Sutherland's comment was prompted by Francis Wallace's article in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post airing the Pitt Panthers’ troubles. Reviewing the alleged amounts paid Pitt football players since 1924, Wallace said the climax of “play for pay” was a clash between Sutherland and Chancellor John G. Bowman of Pitt, a “conflict between academic ambitions and rewards and athletic ambitions and rewards—the old business of brain vs. brawn, in short.” His Task Was to Coach Dr. Sutherland, who resigned last spring as Pitt coach because of “intolerable conditions,” revealed for the first time in the Press definite reasons for his action: “I believe it should be remembered that my only task at Pitt was tof coach the football team in the best way I could and after the tradition of winning teams that the Panthers have built up over a long period of years and under many coaches,” Sutherland wrote. “My retirement came when I reached the conclusion in my own mind that while the tradition was to be maintained and the caliber of competition would not be . lowered, the university no longer cared to provide the necessary assistance or support to the boys who are‘ so vitally necessary in carrying out such a program. Sees No Harm In It . “To .my mind, there. has never been any crime in the subsidization of a college man who offers his school something in return, providing the assistance is nothing more than a bonafide chance to help himself. . - As a pitt alumnus, “I am still rooting the boys home every chance I get, and letting the arguments shift for themselves,” Dr. Sutherland said, adding that the Pitt fans are more interested in what is going on out on the gridiron than in “official star chamber sessions.”

Dentist Willing to Try To Save Doomed Colt

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 26 (U. P.). —Dr. Paul P. Wehner, Cincinnati dentist who has saved six race horses from the executioner’s trigger, offered today to try. his skill on the $40,000 Argentine. colt Serteado, which faces death in New York because of an injured leg. Sorteado’s owner, C. S. Howard,

has despaired of the colt's recovery

from a snapped sesamoid bone in the right foreleg. But Dr. Wehner hasn't. “I believe I can put Sorteado back on his four legs,” the dentist said in a telegram. He asked Mr. Howard to intercede for Sorteado’s life with the insurance firm of Lloyds of London, which issued a $40,000 policy on the horse's life.

Sorteado broke down two weeks ago while leading the field in the Gallant Fox Handicap at Jamaica. Broken bones usually are fatal to race horses, but Dr. Wehner in 1934 developed a method of therapy which has worked six times out of six.

“Of course I haven't seen the diagnosis,” he said. “But I'm confident Sorteado could be saved, at least for stud. And I'd like to try it.” The Wehner treatment is comparatively simple. It entails a special cast constructed of dental stone. If necessary, an orthopedic joint and drainage tubes are inserted. The cast is changed as often as necessary with the use of an an-

a special diet which includes a

heavy supply of calcium.

They Claim

Despite Elis’ Success, Talk

Persists That Jock Is To Take Command.

By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—The report persits that Dick Harlow will leave Harvard for Maryland next fall. -. . And it also heard that there will be a coaching change at Yale. . It is said, and it probably is ‘true, that Dr. John Ban Sutherland, the former Pittsburgh drillmaster, is the leading candidate for both positions. Regardless of the talk, Yale is a pleasant surprise this autumn. . . The Eli line has impressed everyone and Sophomore Hovey Seymour really can smack the line. Princeton is another Ivy League array that has come along nicely. . . » The Tiger has dash and fire and a remarkable passer in Dave Allerdice of Indianapolis.

Purvis Does His Part

Had the other Illinois back produced as well as Chuck Purvis, Bob Zuppke easily might have chalked up a victory over Indiana in his team’s initial Western Conference start of the campaign. . . . New York University's surge and Fordham’s slow start increases interest in the battle of the Bronx, Dec. 2. The Ram was considered by:many to be the nation’s No. 1 aggregation when the clubs opened the season. . . . The Violet was rated quite a few pegs down the line. .. . But if the two were meeting this week, the game would be judged a toss-up.

Graduation to Hit Vols

Tennessee is entitled to enjoy its current place on top of the pigskin pile . , . and is making the most of it. . . . The Volunteers will be hit heavily by graduation . . with the great tailback, George Cafego, among the stars in their last season. . And don't take any stock in the yarn that Southern California would like to avoid meeting Maj. Bob Neyland’s men in the Rose Bowl, Jan. 1. ... The Trojans have never picked spots. . . . Southern California weatner makes them a late season club. . . . This year's edition is a first-class: Trojan varsity .". . which will stir up plenty | € of trouble for Tennessee or any |j other array.

Lions Need Luckman Bernie Bierman, who has had

Against Princeton again, Columbia was handicapped by the fact that the Lion had nothing but shotputters for passers. ... If Sid Luckman were piaying on the current Columbia team, it probably would

Change Still

By HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 26.—Ernie Lombardi finally has gotten up. He no longer is stretched across home plate at Crosley Field. With winter setting in, and the

first snows only a few weeks away, the big catcher of the Cincinnati Reds has broken camp and moved to a warmer base. Lombardi, you will recall, suddenly grew tired of life in the 10th inning of the final game of the World Series early this month, and withdrew from it. Without a word of warning to his teammates or to the New York Yankees, he set up light-housekeeping at ‘home plate,

sign, and hibernated like the bear of a catcher he isn’t.

Everybody Went Home

Days passed and no word was heard from him. The fans went The Yankees went home. The sportswriters went home. Crosley Field. was draped in crepe and -{locked for the winter. Baseball was forgotten for football. But Lombardi was not forgotten. Persons all over the country began inquiring as to his whereabouts. Was he still at home plate? Was he protected against winter’s blasts? Had Powel Crosley, president of the Reds, sent him blankets and a sleeping bag? Was there a Saint

settle the question of “where is Lombardi?” I stopped off in’ this city and started sleuthing.

Lombardi? Who's He?

-Soon after entering town I stopped a man in the street and asked him if he knew Lombardi. He said, who? I said, Lombardi, you know the catcher. He said the only catcher he knew was Dickey. So I stopped another man, a passer-by. At the very mention of the Reds he pulled his overcoat collar high about his ears, put on a false mustache, and ducked into a cul-de-sac. So it went. No one in Cincinnati wanted to talk about the Reds. Mention them and the citizens quickly switched to the best cure for sore ears in hunting dogs, the eventual height of women's skirts, and how much ad Hitler really fear Sthlin. So strictly on my own, I made my way to Crosley Field. Only a

few weeks ago it was packed with i

thousands of excited persons. Now it was dark as the inside of a black bear, and deserted as the last rat on a sinking ship. I undid my flashlight, slipped on my sneakers, and crawled carefully toward home plate. Signs of Life Nearing it, I cried “Ernie Lombardi! It’s a firend.” There was no answer. I turned my torch squarely on the place where the Red's catcher had staked out his claim, and it was bare. Bare of Lombardi, that is. Signs that he had lived there for days still existed. There was a smail

kerosene stove. Scraps of bread were |

scattered halfway to the pitchers’

9/box. A note in a milk bottle read “See you next season—maybe.” Torn ‘and illegible pages of a diary were ¢ | scattered about the plate.
