APPOINTMENT MADE.
The President Designates Eaton as a
second Lieutenant and he has now
probably received his com
mission.

The President has appointed Harry
A. Eaton of the First West Virginia
a second lieutenant in the regular ar
my. He was not assigned to any
command but will be in short time.
He was designated at first as one Of a
number of men to take the examina-
tion. This was taken with flying col
ors and he has been waiting the slow
grind Of the war department with
eagerness since then. The appoint
ment has come and the first man to
go directly from the West Virginia
University into the regular army is
well on his way now.
The University will expect and will
doubtless receive a great deal from
Eaton who is one of the best military
men who ever attended the University
and who is an honor graduate Of the
military department. The thorough
training he received there is entitled
In great measure to the credit which
attaches to his present position.

SOME ATHLETIC CHAT.

Nothing done about grading the ground
yet--A move is soon expected The
foot ball team will be here In
September for two weeks before
school opens.
The grading of the athletic grounds
at the University which was provided
for by the board of regents and the
students athletic association has not
yet been commenced The committee
on the part of the faculty have not
had the time TO take the matter up
and the summer is slipping away with
nothing done. 1t has been called TO
their attention and they will likely
get together and decide on what is to
be done take bids and and let the
work. This should be done and ready
for the boys by the middle Of Septem-
Der because the foot ball team is to be
back by that time and be in practice
for the season.
The team will be here two weeks
before school opens on the first of Oc-
tober and will be in splendid shape
for the first game which takes place
here week or so after the opening of
school in the fall. After the games
was arranged the date Of the opening
was changed from the middle of Sep
TENDER and the time is too short to
get into shape after the beginning.
The boys talked over the matter
before they left for the summer
and they decided than they would
come back two weeks ahead OF time
in order to practice.
A training table will be established
and the team will all stay together
under the eye Of the captain and man
ager who will have chance to see
that they diet themselves. Nearly
all the old players will be back and
the team will be much stronger this
season than it has ever been before

THEY GO SURE.
First West Virginia Regiment
Designated as One of Those
to go to Porto Rico.

The boys are busy getting ready. Wild
shouts Of joy at the news.-They have
wanted to go there all the time One
OF the FIRST selected. A great eOmpli-
ment to the estimation in which they
are held by Gen. Brooke who is TO
command the expedition. -Will leave
very shortly for the island.
CHIeKAMAUGA PARK, July 21.-The
First West Virginia has received def
mate notice that it is to be one of
the regiments which are to be sent
to Porto Rico. The men are over
joyed because that is the place where
they have wanted to go ever since
they have been mustered in. The
news was received with a great out
burst of enthusiasm and the men
danced and howled with delight.
The regiment was among the very
first to be selected and that fact
shows the high estimation in which
they are held by Gen Brooke who is
to command the expedition. He was
given discretion in the selection of
the men wanted and his choice shows
what he thinks of the West Vir-
ginians. His confidence will be
justified by the record the regiment
will make in the field.
They will begin moving today or
tomorrow it is believed and the men
are very busy getting ready for the
start. Their relatives in the state
will be much interested in their flu
ture movements and realize for the
first time what it meant when the
boys marched away so gaily for the
war.
