Show Pitt May Not Getjtowl Bid (Continued from Preeedlnf Pag) opponent the team of a school which we feel has the same scholastic scho-lastic stsndards and the same athletic ath-letic Ideals as California, as you probsbly know Cslifornis is very anxious to see football in this section sec-tion operated on a plan similar to that which was recently formed In the east, with Asa Bushnell of Princeton as Its head, and the one which the Big Ten has had for yeare. California believes that "llkea" should play "likea." That is, that achedules should be drswn up which pit those schools of like standards, both academically and athletically." Want Nona of Pitt Priestly would not ssy whether or not California coneidered Pittsburgh Pitts-burgh as a "like." As for myself I am not up well enough on university uni-versity ratings to offer an opinion. But from all I can gather from unofficial un-official sources Pittsburgh is not being considered becsuss of one of two reasons. Either its footbsll Is considered too high pressure, so to speak, or its team is considered too strong, snd nobody wants to take an almoat aura licking at Its hands. There are many observers in thess parts who will tell you that ths chief objection to Pittsburgh is the fact that the trouncing it handed Washington Wash-ington last year still is green in the memory of sll the coaches out here, and none of them care to commit gridiron hari-kari by being caught on the ssme field with the Messrs. Pstrick. Dsddio, Goldberg. Stebbins and company. All I'm sure of Is thst ths Pitts won't be out here. Pitt seems to be a horrid word on this side of the continents! divide. |
