Charley Bowser Leads Pitt After Sutherland
Charley Bowser, Pitt head coach, has steadied the team after the Sutherland era. He directed a 14 to 13 upset of Duke and earlier beat Washington 27 to 6 and West Virginia 20 to 0, reshaping Pitt with a forward pass as a scoring weapon and a resilient, multi position player background. Bowser, a WWI ambulance driver and Pop Warner alumnus, coached at Grove City, Bowdoin, and Pitt before returning to lead Pitt in 1938.
