  AERIAL BARRACE NOT SUFFICIENT Fate of Columbia Is Case in Point-T. c. u. Looms as PoWerhouse. . NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Among the sights and sounds at the regular weekly sob-session OF Eastern football coaches, writer’s and bottle-carriers at Jack Dempsey’s chop house: why is Pittsburgh always a SON. of-a-gun? That’s simple. Jock Sutherland’s got sense enough not to depend on forward passes. He builds himself a team that can score with a running game. 1t might not score in the first three periods, but Goldberg or one of those guys will show you something in the fourth. In other words, Pitts passing game is supple mental, as it should be-” what happened to Columbia Saturday when Colgate ganged up on Sid Luck mans receivers Only thing Columbia could complete was lot of short ones out in the fiat. That kind Of passing doesn’t win ball games. Luck man, now. probably loses any chance at an All-America berth because his receivers were bottled up” I. C. U. Makes Impression. Say, that Texas Christian must have something. Look what they did to the Texas Aggies-34 to 6. Santa Clara couldn’t beat the Aggies but 7 to 0, Team I’m off of is Rice. They say Ernie Lain is 80 pounds over weight” ASA Bushnell knew what he was doing when he ordered all of his Eastern officials to have physical exanimation at the start of each season. The death of Harris Moriarity at Yankee Stadium Saturday shows that there’s real danger for man over so to run up and down field for two hours. Yeah, Moriarity had a GER tificate saying he was physically fit Il saw Ohio State, and they’ve got one tackle weighs 230 pounds, the other one 22O. They almost beat Northwestern in the closing minutes Anything else you want to know about them?” Yes. Are either Of those tackles seniors, by any chance?” (Steve Owen, coach of the professional Giants, wanted to know. Skibos May Beat “Irish.’ Don’t get excited about Notre Dame. I hear confidentially they’re likely as not to lose to Carnegie Tech” , Jim Crowley at Fordham says this kid Leonard Eshmont of his looks like as great a back as he ever saw. Says he’s as fine back as Goldberg now, except that he hasn’t got Goldberg’s physique” That’s like saying guns good, only it won’t shoot Did you see that stuff Pudge Heffelfinger had in the Post last week? Said he could use his old p-straight stance in the line even today, old as he is, and that these young guys who crouch down couldn’t knock him off his feet My. my. They would be picking pieces of Heff out of the bleachers for week” Fifteen Guesses, Four Winners. well, it was a good season up to last Saturday. I picked four winners out of IS games. My wife hasn’t seen game in eight years and she guessed II out of IS correctly. What does that make me?” “One thing learned from looking over the statistics of about 40 games Saturday: Don’t pick team that gains lot of ground and makes lot of first downs. The teams that won average only about one first down for each touchdown. They don’t go often, but they go long distance”
