JACK FROST
stripped Trees Saturday Night-Heayy
FrOst-First Snow Flies.

Jack Frost male his presence in
this vicinity so pronounced Satur-
day night, that hereafter his reign
will not be disputed until another
spring. The heaviest frost of the
season formed, and Sunday morning
vegetation was white with the cold
crystals. The trees were stripped
from their leaves, and some varieties
the branches which had lost scarce
ly nothing of their foliage, were lett
bare. The ground, sidewalks and
pavements were thickly eearpeted
with fallen leaves and the work of
cleaning them up today is no small
task. Nut bearing trees were rob-
bed of what little fruit they had left
Saturday night.
The first snow fakes of the season
in this community, fell Friday
morning about five o'clock. Not
many people knew of it, because few
are stirring at that hour.

Saturday morning the junior law
class succeeded in organizing and elect
ing officers for the year, without
bloodshed. Several attempts to or
ganize had proved disastrous. The
right of class-suffrage was the bone Of
contention. The studendts who are
here to take enough law to get ad-
mitted to the bar, only, wanted to
have part in the class orgaization.
The degree and diploma men did not
want this.
A committee was appointed on Gre
dentlals, and Saturday morning report
ed, that they found the bar men had
no right to vote.
The report was adopted. 1t was a
plain case of Acknowledgement on ed
ucational. grounds. The bar men
raised an awful rumpus, and one
brother made speech in which trail
tors, Iscariots, Arnolds and rotten
eggs figured conspicuously, But the
election went ahead, and the follow

TWO CENTS

Westminster Players Injured in

S5 Minutes of Play tame Stretched
Over tive Hours Tenant was Game
Fine Work of :Nalton-Subs did
Well,
In thirty i've minutes of actual play,
though the game stretched over two
hours West Virginia scored four touch.
downs and one goal against Westmns-
ter Saturday. The contest was fast
enough, in fact too fast for the Penn
sylyanians, when play was ia progress,
but time was taken out after nearly
every down for Westminster player
to get over his hurts and get back into
the line up. The visitors had four
men completely knocked out, and
ffth injured badly enough TO get out
or the game. In the number OF men
hurt, the contest was record breaker
West Virginia did not have TO use
single substitute.
Westminster came up here with
crippled team, and went home with
team worse crippled. The Varsity
did not play any rougher than usual,
but the visitors were not used TO a
gridiron as hard as brick pavement.
They used all the subs they had, and
Tenant, the little half back, had to
go back into the game after he had
been knocked out, in order to make
up the eleven. He was the best play
er the visitors had, and was heartily
applauded by the crowd for his nerve
and staying qualities.
Elliott, the fatl-back, he OF the red
cap, also played good game, and was
about the only man who was not hurt.
West Virginia kicked off TO West
minister, who lost the ball on downs
after few plays. BY a series of line
plunges, and close end runs, the Var
sity sent Mutton ever for the first
touchdown few minutes after play
started. Mutton missed goal. Mar
tin scored the second touchdown in
the first half, which ended with the
ball IN West Virginia's possession, In
Westminster's territory.
The second half was only flfteen
minutes in length, on account OF the
delapidated condition Of the visitors.
Martin and Mutton carried the oval
across, and Want kicked one goal.
The principal gains made by the
Varsity were through the opposing
line, though, Martin and Simmons
occasionally got from to ID yards
around the end. The visitors could
not get yard through the line, and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Tenant made
on brilliant end runs, The visitors
ends were the best that have been here
this year.
Mutton played star game and made
big gains through the opposing line
whenever he carried the ball. He is
a great player, and good enough for
any company.
Simmons recovery OF a quarterback
kick, which went deep into Westmlns-
ter's territory, was one of the brilliant
plays Of the game, and resulted in
touchdown a moment later, when
Martin carried the oval over, behind
a beautiful interference. Martin was
good for big gains every time he took
the ball. Kortright's line plunges
were very effective. Mcdonald played
a good game at end, In place Of Ludes.
Morgan showed considerable strength
in Cores place.
