[13] His first order of business was hiring Guy Williamson, former Pitt quarterback and recent head football coach of Grove City College, as his assistant.

(Chase, Johnson, Wissinger, Gwosden and Gustafson)[12] After four weeks of strenuous drill, Coach Sutherland stated that he was highly pleased with the condition of the many candidates.

On the eve of the end of camp, Harry Camins of The Gazette Times reported: "Coach Sutherland professes to be entirely satisfied with the results attained during the stay here.

"[23] On Friday afternoon, the Panthers traveling squad boarded the train for the ride to Grove City, which included a dinner stop at the Nixon Hotel in Butler.

[26] "Sloppy handling of the ball by receivers and throwers disgusted the fans, while Captain Harry Brian, halfback, failed at tossing and then muffed three successive passes which would have meant heavy gains.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Howard Linn, Ralph Chase, William Ashbaugh, John Kifer, Robert Irwin, Harold Akins and Carl Sauer.

[29] "The entire 1923 backfield is back at Easton, including the famous Chicknoski, whom Jock Sutherland ranks as one of the best halfbacks he ever saw....Lafayette will present at Forbes Field a team which will have the advantage over Pitt in the matter of experience.

He chaperoned a well-drilled and powerful Lafayette football team, and humbled his Blue and Gold alma mater by the score of 10 to 0, while thousands of gridiron-hungry Pittsburghers looked on.

"[37] On Friday, Graduate Manager Karl E. Davis told The Pittsburgh Press: "Our team is in poor shape, and we will not be able to present our full strength against the Mountaineers tomorrow.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Ralph Chase, Alfred Amann, J. W. Evans, Milo Gwosden, Carl Sauer, Frank Benedict, Andy Gustafson, Wendell Steele, Harold Akins and Robert Irwin.

"[46] Coach Sutherland hoped to start the same lineup that appeared in the West Virginia game but Carl Sauer replaced an injured Blair McMillan at end and Ralph Chase was inserted into Thomas Murdoch's tackle slot.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Milo Gwosden, Harold Akins, Wendell Steele, Frank Benedict, Howard Linn, Thomas Murdoch, Alfred Amann, Robert Irwin, Carl McCutcheon, Andy Gustafson and Floyd Snyder.

To my mind they are every bit as strong as last year, and though they do not have Jimmy Robertson, I do not propose to take them lightly...Bastian is a threat all the time and one who will have to be guarded closely...Newman is a punter of no mean ability.." No one was badly bruised in the Johns Hopkins game so Sutherland was able use the same starting lineup against the Tartans.

"[53] The Gazette Times reported: "As the glorious, golden October sun was making its disappearance over the western portals of the city, Carnegie Tech stood over the prostrate form of the Pitt Panther, who fell exhausted within two yards of knotting the count and possibly emerging victorious by a one-point margin, on the battle-torn gridiron at Forbes Field yesterday afternoon.

The score was 6 to 0 in the Tartan's favor enabling them to retain the laurels won for the first time in history just about a 12-month ago, emblematic of their football supremacy within the confines of Pittsburgh.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Andy Gustafson, Robert Irwin, J. W. Evans, Jesse Brown, Wendell Steele, Milo Gwosden and Floyd Snyder.

"[60] The Pitt Weekly was upbeat: "As to coach Sutherland's boys, they have recovered from the Carnegie fracas, have buried all distracting thoughts about it until next year, and are determined to give all they have to secure a victory over the Orange.

[62] A special trainload of students, fans and the Pitt band visited Niagara Falls early Friday and then attended Halloween festivities in the evening in Buffalo.

"[62] "A great Orange 'bubble' burst with electric suddenness in Archbold Stadium here this afternoon, when Syracuse, heralded as possible Eastern champion, met an equally brilliant Pitt eleven, and could wrest no better than a 7-7 tie from an hour of throbbing football.

Even then there was still a slim chance that the invaders would err in trying for the seventh point, but Milo Gwosden and his unfailing toe rushed into the breach, accurately sent the pigskin skimming above the cross bar and the battle was a deadlock.

On second and nine, Joe Schmitt fumbled and Syracuse guard Gus Rugg scooped up the pigskin and with plenty of interference raced into the end zone for the first touchdown.

At the end of the period Syracuse had the ball on the Pitt 20-yard line and McBride attempted a 30-yard field goal that hit the cross bar and fell harmlessly to the turf.

A punting duel ensued for the second quarter until late, when Syracuse gained possession on the Pitt 25-yard line and McBride attempted 30-yard field goal that went wide.

[66] According to The Pittsburgh Press: "Coach Jack Sack has been working overtime with his charges, and has them in fine fettle physically and has keyed them up to a real fighting pitch.

Ralph S. Davis of The Pittsburgh Press was not happy with the Panther coaching staff: "After the Pitt management had announced in advance of last Saturday's game that the entire first team would be started against Geneva, Sauer and Johnson were the only men who might be regarded as regulars who were in the lineup.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Floyd Snyder, William Ashbaugh, Clyde Jack, Henry Schmitt, Frank Benedict, Herman Riester, Joseph Archibald and Michael Meyer.

On first down John Harding fumbled on a double pass and Ray Ride, substitute W. & J. lineman, scooped up the pigskin on the ten yard line and lumbered into the end zone unmolested.

"[89] "Pittsburgh today treated 33,000 football fans to the surprise of their lives by giving Penn State one of the worst lickings in the history of the contests between the two institutions.

Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Howard Linn, Milo Gwosden, Carl sauer, Oliver Harris, Thomas Murdoch, Harold Akins, Robert Irwin, Wendell Steele and William Ashbaugh.

"[94] The following players received their letters for the 1924 season at the annual football banquet– Captain Noble Lee Frank, Harold Akins, Alfred Amann, William Ashbaugh, Jesse Brown, Ralph Chase, Andy Gustafson,Milo Gwosden, Ulhard Hangartner, John Harding, Oliver Harris, Robert Irwin, Marsh Johnson, John Kifer, Howard Linn, Carl McCutcheon, Blair McMillan, Thomas Murdoch, Carl Sauer, Joseph Schmitt, Wendell Stele, Zoner Wissinger and Manager Harry Reed.
