(AP) White excitement seethed In the stu dent body, Pitt's undefeated Pan ther remained obdurate today In their refusal to play a post-season football game. By a secret vote, reported to be 10-16. senior squad members last night staged a private rebellion against accepting bids to any Inter sectional "bowl" game.

BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30 (AP) Fordham or Alabama against Califor nia's Golden Bears In the Rose Bowl football classic New Year's Day. That seemed the situation today In view of Pittsburgh's announcement the players had voted against playing any post-season game. Pitt had been considered the No. 1 choice. While Kenneth Priestley, Califor nia's graduate manager who eventu ally will make the official selection, maintained a tight-lipped silence, ports writers end other nonpartisan souls rated Fordham and Alabama about a toss-up for the invitation, Priestley, who emerged from his alienee only to tell pe rata tent scribes he had "no comment" to make on the Pittsburgh report, would not say Whether Pitt would have been In vited anyway. . There waa some feeling hereabouts that Pitt might reconsider If a Rose Bowl bid were offered, though the Pittsburgh report sounded definite. John Weber, treasurer of the ath letic council at Pitt said: "We had Invitations from the Sugar Bowl and the Cotton Bowl so we tossed In the Rose Bowl for consideration also and the boys decided they didn't want to play in any of them. So far as we are concerned, If California should Invite us we would have to reply negatively. Sources close to Priestley's office, such as Publicity Director Wally Fredericks and writers on the Dally Oallforntan, student newspaper, said the graduate manager probably woud make the Important announcement In a couple of days when he has received answers to "feelers" which try to learn whether prospective schools would accept a bid u It were offered. Coach Leonard B. ("Stub") Allison aald he didn't care especially whom his Bears play, and that Priestley's decision would be good enough for biro. Between Fordham and Alabama, the southern school has the better record, having finished the regular season unbeaten and untied. Unde feated Fordham, overwhelming choice of New York and moat of the east, played a scoreless tie with Pitt. if "jmmy. f ' " ,; , , $j , , ,t Leads of Season hclioluitlcall)-, (.-olorario unlvrrslty's Ilyron (Miilzzrr) White stands at the hrad of the elass with straight "A" grades which won him Phi Beta Kappa key and put him In Rhodes scholarship competition.

(By the Anboclated Pre) With practically all the returns In, Byron (Whlzzer) White, Colorado university's great all-around bwk, is safely e sconced on the throre aa kingpin of the point getters for the 1937 football season.

The Colorado ace bettered last year's high totals of 119 polnta by Charles Thomas of Delta (Miss). Teachers and 117 by Norman Schoen of Bald win-Wallace, but he couldn't approach the all-time mark of 210 points, made In 1920 by Jnmes C. Leech of V. M. I. Although most of the sectional and conferepce leaders Improved their marks In the season's closing games last week, few changes were recorded. Paul Shu of V. M. I. regained the lead In the southern conference by one point from Dukes Elmore (Honey) Hackney, OS to 64. Bob Davis of Kentucky, the only pace setter wbo hasn't concluded his sea son, dropped Into a triple tie with two Louisiana State players Charles Rohm and Jabbo Stell, for the south ern conferenc lead.

Med fold's Equipped Oldrit and Auto Paint Daily's Auto Painting IV South Bart left . Mighty little Jimmy Lott of Ala bama provided the year's biggest grappling upset last night In the Medford armory when he battled his way to a two -out-of -three fall victory over Hugh Nichols of Tulsa, Okla., former light heavyweight champion of the world. Nobody In Medford realized until last night Just how good the ex- blocklng back from Ole' Ala bam real ly la. When he fought bis way to a draw two weeks ago with Bobby Chick, another past light heavy weight champ, local fans sat up and took notice. But still, Lott wasn't honestly In that class. It waa believed. Now, however, fan are convinced. It waa positively one of the great est straight wrestling bouts ever seen In Medford; an engagement that kept a fair-sized gallery on the edge of Its seats and shouting Itself hoarse from beginning to end. Both wrestelers ran the gamut of scientific and othodox maneuvering, with Lott time after time extricating himself from seemingly Impossible situations as Nichols, all he was cracked up to be. poured bn the heat In true championship style. Weigh ing 188 and showing a greater va riety of holds than haa any local grappler In the past year, Nichols seemed to have the match well In hand after 11 minutes of sensational action. Suddenly, Lott kicked his way out , of a head lock and started throwing sonnenberg's with wild abandon. Three of them crashed against the reeling torso of Nichols, the last one paying off as Lott clambered on top with a body press for the first tumble. Five minutes later Nichols evened tho match, weakening Jimmy with arm locks and short-arm scissors and winding It up with a pin wheel. And, six minutes later the match was over. Lott tied up Nichols with a full Nelson, slipped out and ap plied a bock breaker and then heaved the ex-champ Into a terrific reverse body slam for the fall. Joe Smollnskl and Steve Strellch staged a wild-eyed melee In the mid dle event with Strellch winning on fouls after the Polish Palooka bad gone beserk In the third round to batter Refree Earl Yoakley and Stel lch from pillar to post. Previous to the ending. Smollnskl had brought blood to Yoakley 's mouth with dou bled -up fists, and all through the duration of the alley brawl Yoakley and the Palooka were spitting and snarling at each other like angry cats. Strellch took the first fall In the second round with punches to the head and body and a leg scissors, after Smollnskl had aroused Steve's basest Instincts by vlllianous tactics. In the third canto, Smollnskl went overboard, acting up as never before In a Medford ring. . Threo times he hammered Referee Yoakley to the carpet when tho ref Interfered with his deadly attack on Strellch. help less outside the ropes. Yoakley, who took a terrific beating, stood up and fought the Palooka to what he hoped was a standstill and finally, when Joe apparently was about ready to take on the entire house, Yoakley stepped In and awarded the fall and match to Strellch. I Phil Romano of Mexico City, a full blooded Aztec Indian, used a short arm scissors In the first and fourth rounds to defeat Popeye Pat O'Brien. O'Brien garnered a fall In the second stanza with a body slsm. Romano, making his Initial Medford showing. turned out to be a tall, clean grappler with a large varloty of scientific holds.
