COMPLETED FOR THE CONTEST.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE PLAY
ERs-THE GARDNER-KELLY BAT
TIE IN NEW FORTHCOMING.
AND OTHER SPORTING MATTERS
Wheeling lovers of foot ball and adj
mirers of the eleven who represent
this city on the gridiron, will have an
opportunity this afternoon Of seeing
the w. A. C. lined up against one OF
the strongest teams ever organized.
The effort to provide first class quail
ity of sport of this character deserves
substantial encouragement, and the
local devotees of the game who have
made up the guarantee for the visiting
club, should not be required to go
down into their pockets to make up a
deficit.
All arrangements at the Island park
have been perfected. The gates will
open at 2:30 o'clock, and the -ane
will begin at three. Space has been
reserved for carriages, and in addition
to the ropes which have been stretched,
four policemen will be on hand to pre-
vent interference from the crowd. Carl
Lang will be Wheeling's official, and
Greensburg will provide a man to alter
nate with him as referee and umpire.
The w. A. G. boys will play deter
mined, snappy game, and when it is
over Greensburg will realize that it
has been in contest.
The visitors will arrive over the
Panhandle at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing, returning On the seven o'clock
train. The Y. M. C. A. has offered its
baths and various apartments for the
use of the visitors The club will es-
tablish quarters at the Stamm. The
Indian, Jemison, is certain to be a
feature, but the other Greensburg play
ers are equally famous. Local fra
ternity men will probably hunt up
members of the team, as the following
fraternities are represented:
Barclay and Carr, Sigma Chi; Wor-
Ellington, Delta Kappa Epsilon; Rine-
hart, Delta Epsilon; Flowers, Thela Mi
Epsilon; Robson, who may play,
though not in the lineup, a Phi Kappa
Psi; Atherton is Phi Kappa Sigma.
Rooters' horns will be much in evil
Gence, especially megaphones. Wheel
ing people are urged to don the "red
and blue" especially the fair sex. AS
to the probable results of the game,
there is, of course, some doubt, and
bets will be made on whether Wheeling
will score or as to the number of
touch-dlowns Greensburg will make.
On form Greensburg looks like a win
ner. Joseph Donohoe, captain, learned
the game at st. Johns College, Ford
ham, N J. He is a fast Splinter and
breaks up interference in manner all
his own.
George Barclay, left half, is the fast
est in the business. With Lafayette
he won national fame.
Charles Rinehart, Of Phillipsburg, N.
J.. is considered good enough for the
All-American team. He is six feet
three inches in height, and was La
fayette's captain in '97.
Another Lafayette star is Worthing-
ton. The University of Michigan and
the College of Physicians and Surgeons
are represented in DR.. Carr, who, with
Rinehard, stand on either side of the
Horatio, boo" Thomas, the center,
and famous as a wrestler.
"Jack" Flowers, known to all foot
ball fans, was captain of w. & ]. last
year. He is a great quarter and passes
the ball like lightning.
To the right of Rinehart stands Nc
Dermott, a young fellow of Oneito, N.
Y. He was scrub tackle on Princeton
last season.
Jemison, of the Carlisle Indians, is
another star secured from a distance
TO give Greensburg a crackerjack team.
MacAndrews, the full back, was the
best Dartmouth College ever had.
Last but not least is Arthur Nc
Farland. left tackle, a st. Clairsville
boy, with the Wheeling Tigers last
year, but secured by Greensburg late
in the season. He Will get the glad
hand to-day.
And w. A. C.'s team? Well, it will
give Greensburg a-plenty. Foot ball in
Wheeling would be a nonenity with
out the Edwards boys. Bob, John and
Sol form brilliant trio. The other
boy, Will, is now searching the Klon-
dixie for gold.
Specht is considered McFarland's
equal. He has refused offers to play
with Ohio colleges, as has Bob" Ed
