WESLEYAN ELEVEN
OLD HILLTOP FOE
Today's Opponents of Blue and
Gray Hold Championship of
Their State.

This West Virginia Wesleyan eleven.
which faces Georgetown today at the
Hilltop. is a right fair aggregation. In
the 's0s il was a regular rival of the
Blue and Gray, but has not been seen
here now for several years. 1t is looked
upon as the champion eleven of West
Virginia. following its decided victory
over West Virginia University. This
game was played at FairmOnt before
the largest throng ever seen in the
State, Wesleyan winning, 81 10 0.
Wesleyan opened its season with Car
Isle and was defeated. 25 to o. At the
end of the frst half Carlisle had scored
just one touchdown. but after that
Wesleyan tired. Davis Elkins was
swamped, IS to 0. in thirty minutes of
sliding around Oh a muddy field. Then
came the championship clash with West
Virginia University. Buchtel, one of the
strongest elevens in Ohio, defeated
Wesleyan, to :, the following Satur-
dav. the latter experiencing a slump.
Here are the statistics of the players
who will battle Georgetown today:
The Washington times., 1913-11-08

Georgetown is taking on its last OPP
ponent today before the big game of
the year. West Virginia Wesleyan is
battling on the Hilltop with the Blue
and Gray players in preparation for
that battle of next week when the
University of Virginia team comes up
for its annual engagement.
The game today is expected to thor
oughly Try out the Georgetown Of
fense and defense and will also give
a line on the condition of Dunn and
Fury for that big game of next week.
In addition the Hilltop coaches will
learn the faults necessary to be cor
rected for the Virginia game and just
what substitutes will bc depended
upon.
West Virginia Wesleyan is 10 mean
opponent for the Hilltoppers Com
paratiye score basis is a poor one to
argue strength of elevens. but in
weight and victorious accomplishment
the West Virginia team appears to
have something on the Hilltop team.
In weight the visitors seem TO stack
up fayorably.
Georgetown coaches are planning to
keep Harry Costello out of the game
today. The Hilltop leader will be kept
in reserve, and if he is not needed will
rest for the Virginia contest. In the
four years just closing for the George
town captain today's battle will be the
first that he has failed to start.
There were several changes in the
Georgetown lineup for today. Barron
and McNulty are 10 be out of the line
up on account of injuries. The veteran
guard is suffering from blood poisoning.
while McNulty has bad knee. Carlo
is playing in place of Barron, and
Petretz is filling in for McNuIty.
West Virginia wesleyan comes here
with an enviable record. and is certain
TO give a good account of itself. Its re-
cord 20 date includes three victories in
five starts. Bethany was beaten by
76 to 0: Davis Elkins, by IS to 0, and
the University of West Virginia By y
to 0. The only defeats We're those at
the hands of Carlisle and Buchtel, the
former by % to 0, and the latter, to Z.

NAVY EXPECTS BIG
SCORE ON BUCKNELL
Team Is Primed For Today's
Contest, and Lehigh Total
May Be EquaIed.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Nov. s-Every mem
Der of the naval contingent feels con-
| dent that today's battle with Bucknell
will result in Navy victory, and some
are confident that the 39-to-0 score made
against Lehigh last Saturday will be
equaled. This, however, is not the opin-
ion of those who have watched the situ-
alton closely. Bucknell is said to have
bewilderlng array of finely executed
forward pass plays. and this is some
| thing that the Navy has not had to
contend against previously this season
The Navy will have the same line,
and probably the same backfield that
started the game against Lehigh last
Saturday. The onl yrnan of the squad
who Is not available is Leonard, the
fast left halfback, who has a bad
knee, but there is an abundance of the
best kind of backfield substitutes
The backfield arrangement at The
start is Mitchell, quarterback: Nc
Reavey and Blodgett, halfbacks: Harrt-
son, fullback The average of this
quartet is about $50 pounds. and it is
very fast considering its weight. With
such a backfield the policy of the Navy
team will be to attempt to pound the
heart out of their opponents at the
start and then by running in new
backs continually to maintain a pace
that rushes the enemy off their feet.
Much regret is expressed that the
Academy schedule is not such as to give
a better comparison of the local team
with the leaders this year. At Annap-
oils it is believed that the team is not
only the best in the history of football
at the Academy, but that il measures
up with the best in the country. 1t IS
not by choice that the Navy's schedule
in recent years does not certain ut least
one of the recognized leaders, but teams
of that class simply will not come to

Earl Eiker one of the famous Eiker

Duckpin League today with an average
of lis pins. 1t is due to his exceptional
work that the Mohawks are in first

Twenty-four able bodied young men,
singing the songs Of the I w. w.
were marched to the county Jail Sun
day night. They had been arrested
as common vags in the jungles. Most
Of them appeared intelligent enough,
but they are for the most part mis-
guided youths. They have listened
to the leaders Of the movement until
they imagine that the world owes them
a living and they intend to get it with
out working for it. Most Of them are
mere boys, scarcely past their major
ity, and one of them hung his head as
he walked along, undoubtedly asham-
ed of the predicament that he had
gotten into. Despite their youth, most
of them had been in Jail before. They
no doubt imagine that they are mar
tyrs to the cause. Here's hoping
that they will get on the right track
before they turn out to be entirely
worthless citizens.

The state of unrest that has mani
tested itself among a certain element
of the laboring class is doing much to
discourage improvements. The con-
dition of the country, prosperous as
it is, would be even more so, if a
change could come about in the atti-
tude of the common laborers and
tradesmen. We know of several right
here in Minot who intended to build
large blocks this year who decided
to wait until more opportune time
The man who builds knows that the
contractor will not accept the work
unless he can figure safely on items
of labor, and at the present time he's
compelled to add about fifty per cent
to that item of expense. At that he's
none too sure of getting plenty Of
help.

A BUGGY RIDE WITH HER.
(From the Washington Post.)

- w
Did you ever take buggy ride in
the still of the evening, down the
winding turns of country pike, with
the fair one by your side? If SO, 'nuff
said. With a proper sense Of proper
ton, the old time buggy was made to
hold exactly one and half. The re-
suit was propinquity = also bliss.
Along the road-all too short-you
drove. Moo cows mooed in the dis
lance. Anxious mothers came to the
door and cried "W-i-l-l-i-e!" But you
were lost to bovine plants and mater
nal solicitudes. Pungent odors from
the dog fennel mingled with the faint
perfume of the thistle's bloom. The
night dew lay on the fields, starlight
drenched the earth, and you discover
ed you had soul. The air was chill,
and you fixed a shawl, followed by
most eloquent and ecstatic silence.
Then came the parting, as you "hand-
ed" her out at the gate. A whispered
goodbye, lest any other hear, and a
retreating vision of a rosebud fairer
that John DIS pastor ever dreamed of.

There never was time when labor
ing men were as independent as they
are today. Jobs were never so plen-
tiful before, nor wages as high. 1t
costs something to live, yet a man
can practice economy and live almost
as cheaply as ever. With wages fifty
per cent higher than they were ten
years ago he has fair margin of
profit. With conditions as rosy as
they are today, it seems nothing
short of crime to see so many men
walking the streets who refuse to
work. A farmer in quest of a hand
walked the streets Saturday and he
inquired of ten idle men before he
found one willing to accept the job he
had to offer.
