FOOT BALL TALK
"Bull' Smith VIII Coach Sem
mary and Beat Varsity.
hannOn-WIll Send Some Big Players
Down Here-Manager Stont in the
Woods No Coach Employed.

Lou Smith, ex captain of the
Varsity football team, is in town
on a business trip. He is traveling
for Clarksburg firm, but will go to
Buckhannon on September 7th, the
date of the opening of school, to
coach the Conference Seminary team.
He has good offer from them for
ten weeks. alter which he will return
to the read.
Coach Smith said this morning
"There are lot of big, brawny men
in school up there, and we are going
to have team that will beat the
Varsity at Clarksburg on October
18th. Then I'm going to send some
Of the big players down to the
Varsity the following fall"
1t is true that the Varsity has a
game scheduled with the-Seminary
at Clarksburg October 18th, but
there must be some mistake about
the result. "8ull' Smith will have
a good team at the Seminary, no
doubt.
Ed Kenna did very well up there,
but still the Methodist lads didn't
reach the Varsity class.
What sort of team the University
will have this fall is troubling the
fans considerably. 1t is time to be
thinking and talking about it, and
just now, there doe NJ seem much
to go on. Manager Stout is out in
the woods some place enjoying the
summer. aud it has been long time
since anybody heard anything from
him. Captain Seamon has not been
heard from this summer. 1t is pre-
sumed he will be back early.
The University does rot open
until September %, and unless the
players are got together before that
time, here is not much chance of q
winning team for the Varsity Many
of the men for the big teams are
already in training.
As yet, no coach has been EN-
ployed Whether Manager Stout
has g man in view or not, is likewise
mystery.

TO DEEPEN CHANNEL.
Work to be Started on Mon0ngahela
at Rice's Landing.

For the purpose of increasing the
depth of the fifth pool OF the Monon-
gahela river, the United States Gov
eminent will begin work ina few
days in deepening the channel of
the river at Rice's Landing, or just
below Dam No. 6. This work can
not be done by dredging, for the
bottom OF the river at this point is
a solid plane of limestone rock
and will have to be blasted away
with dynamite. This work will re-
quire an excavation from one to two
feet deep, 700 feet long and about
100 feet Hide.
Such cut in solid rock is big
undertaking, since it will have to be
made under water. 1t is not ex-
pected to complete the job until
some time next year, as it is propos-
ed to make the improvement with
out interference with navigation in
any way.
The rock will be drilled full of
holes and after the dynamite is plac-
ed in position the blasts are to be
exploded by electricity.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak
Scots Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.
