GAME SATURDAY.
GREAT EXCITEMENT AT FINISH
or CONTEST WITH MARIETTA
AT RARkEResuRa.

RARKERSBURG, Nov. 1-"We've
got thirty seconds to win int"
The indian summer sun streamed.
brayely down ON Shattuck Park Satur-
day afternoon and lighted up the
eleven young men clad in old gold jer-
seys who were struggling with eleven
others in dark blue for football SUI
premacy. West Virginia University
and Marietta College had been fight
ing through two long tlirty.minute
halves; the score was still what it had
been 1T the beginning, nothing to notn-
ing, and less than a minute renamed
until the sharp blast OF the tlmekeep
er's whistle would send the teams
rom the field with honors even.
West Virginia had possession Of the
ball, but 40 long yards stretched be-
tween that valuable bit of pigskin and,
the goal line, that steak of white
tnIat still possessed its virgin purtsy.
For. the ball to travel those 40 yards
in the short time that remained in
the ordinary way was almost imnossi-
ible, for Marietta had all along defend
ed her goal with the stability of a
stone wall.
Who was the man OF the hour, or
rather, the mln OF the minute, to win
the game? Little Pearcey, engineer
OF the West Virginia machine, made Il
wise choice. He called the signals
that told Halfback Monk to try to send
the ball over the goal posts with a
drop kick. The players took the kick
formation, Monk dropping back to ten
yards behind his team mates. Big
EWood1ouse, center OF the team, passed
the ball, and quickly but with preci,
sion, Monk dropped the ball on the
ground, swung his strong right leg in
q wide semi-cfrcle and caught the
leather at just the right moment IN its
rebound. It was a perfect kick. The
ball sailed gracefully away, covered
the long yards without a waver, and
dropped over the crossbar of the goal
posts with inches to spare.
A thousand or SO people in the big
%grandstand and on the race track
jumped into the air as the ball fell.
A sea OF blue and gold pennants and
ribbons waved everywhere. A deep
throated roar shook the whole South
side. A mass of maniacs ran across
tile field, pltted Monk on the Shout
der, Rugged him, kissed him. Some
five hundred people with blue and
white pennants sat silent.
This was the way West Virginia
won from Marietta by the score OF 3
to o. Coming at the close Of a see
saw contest in which neither team
seemed to have much over the other,
and at a time when the whole crowd
had resigned itself to going home with

back Monks effort was an electric
sr1rk, setting the assemblage afire
and furnishing the only really remark
able feature of the game. All through
the contest Monk played the part of
