The veteran pilot Of Leland Stan ford. whose husky leaders OF the coast conference probably will be called upon to beat Pittsburgh IN the classic post-season clash Of cast and west at the tournament Of Roses in order to save “Pop’ from having to “cat his words” was back east for the purpose of studying grldlron wares as he spoke. pop came back to Pittsburgh Yesterday to watch the team ne coached from 1915 through 1923 swamp Penn State 30 to 0 under the direction of Clock” Sutherland, a crack guard on the greatest eleven Warner thinks he ever tutored = that Of 1916, and as Pop watched his prospective rivals. he found much to marvel at in driving eleven that cuffcd the Nittany Lions about as no other team has this season Backfield Is Perfect “That team said Warner, “Is the best l have seen this year and I’ve watched great MAN.. The back field is about perfect. TIC line fast and aggressive. and they sio every thing well. Sutherland has two really great backs in ‘Gibby WEIGH and Jimmy Hagan.” pop thinks that the advantage is all with the eastern team in in tersectional classics such as the bat tie scheduled in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calf, on January /. They come west thrilled to pieces by the spectacle, spurrcd to topmost fightins, pitch by floods of letters and kilograms from eve1...onc back home praying for their success. and they battle as only the underdog can in strange surroundings. There is “a. slight handicap in e,anged eli mate conditions but not enough to offset this tremendous psychology cal advantage. Game Is Old Story at is different with the eleven the west chooses. To them the game is an old story. The spectacle isn’t new, and it just seems to the play crs as though way has been found to add a month to the long season and pour extra d.llars into the athletic association treasures AS for the rule of the game, War ner thinks there has been enough tampering and that it is time now to let we’ll enough alone. The changes that set the goal posts 10 yards off the playing field and legislated the lateral pass into more frequent use by outlawing loss of the ball through tumble, are AL right and should be retained” “Anything that adds to the spec tacular in football is worth retain ing” said the man whose trick plays while coaching the Carlisle Indians forced several new rules into the books and led an opposing coach to tell his charges before one game ‘.just go in there and watch what Warmers boys do and then do the same thing” Has No all-Amcrican “Although hardly think the rule makers intended it, they have made it almost impossible to recover d tumble on any play where one mar hands the ball to another behind the line. / never use laterals, but they have opened up the game” Warner said there were mo all Americans” on his team although Biff Hoffman, his fullback, is “prctty good” His parting shot was a tribute to a rival back, Nor. lev Drucy, of the University OF Southern California. “He’s a great back” said “Pop.’ land not one bit overrated. He weighs $50 pounds and every ounce Of it is moving forward all thu time”
