this sunday mr wiood is at present the metro politan secretary for the y m c a at philadelphia and formerly was a commissioner of education in the city of chicago ability decide our position on this year's football map both teams will enter the con test minus the services of several regulars captain macdonald has been on the injured list since the tech game owing to a bad ankle and may not be able to start maginnes has been play ing in his place during the past week and has shown up well henzelman is still unable to get into practice on account of his elbow but it is hoped he can get in the game with state rote who seems to have been followed all year by the injury jinx has re turned to the squad and will in all probability play at least part of the game another valuable loss to the team is douglas who also is out with a bad ankle but his loss is equally offset by the return of simendinger whose work in the early season games was so brilli ant cousins and frain two valu able substitutes are still among the cripples in all probability the backfield that will start the game will be herrington savaria wysocki and liston the combination which proved so effective against tech judging from practices held dur ing the week the line will consist of wilson and larkin ends ; booth and spagna tackles mccarthy and maginnes or mac donald guards and goldman center a great deal is expected of this line as it is an acknowledged fact that in this department pittsburgh is not exceedingly strong and the ability of the brown and white line to get through and break up warn er s famous double passes and trick plays means a great deal towards scoring a victory over the visitors the panther's backfield will be without the services of morrow who may be out for the rest of the season but with such stars as de hart hastings and davies carry ing the ball it will take fast and sure tackling to keep the ball in safe territory continued on third page the usual sections will be re served and the band will be on hand although not official the bethlehem pa friday october 31 1919 brown and white mechanical society to hold meeting smoker for pitt game f beat pitt : i smoker
