PITTSBURGH, Nov. 80. (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.
Student Manager Barr said the
team had scheduled no more meet
ings to reconsider their action.
Coach Jock Sutherland aald: "The
boys' decision U final."
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.

. 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.

second round with punches to the

after Smollnskl had aroused Steve's
