BIG FOOTBALL
GAME NOV. q
ALI. EYES CENTERED ON IVES
LEYAN-W. & J. CONTEST AT
CLARKSBURG.
BUCKHANNON BOYS WILL MAKE
= EVERY EFFORT TO WIN
THE GAME.

BtCKIIANNON, Nov IA. - a
week from Saturday Wesleyan and
Washington 4 Jefferson college foot
ball teams will meet at Clarksburg
in the last big game Of the year as
far as West Virginia is concerned.
Wesleyan added considerable pres
tige to her already Cnviable position
by defeating Georgetown deCisively
last Saturday at Washington. and
for this reason Wesleyan stock has
gone up considerably as regards the
w. & ]. contest.
The most ardent Wesleyan sup
porter could hardly hope for Il Wcs-
lcyan victory, but that Wesleyan's
team will 20 down there with one
set purpose. and that 10 win. is a
sure thing. w. Il j. undoubtedly
win bO weak in this game as she
plays the hardest game Of the year
with the University Of Pittsburgh
the Saturday proceeding the Wesley
an game and while it Is altogether
likely that W. n j. will still have Il
good strong team. still 1t is certain
that the game with Pitt Is going to
have more or less dctcriOrating eff
feet on the W. {; j. men. Wesley
an, on the other hand, with no game
at all this Saturday and with ten
full days Of special preparation for
the game with ". a. j. ought to be
in the very best shape possible for
the game. Coach FOlwGll OF W. 4
J. has announced that he is ont for
the high score record OF the country
this scar and for this reason it is
certain that he is not going to save
any of his men in the game with
Wesleyan, but will exert every Of
fort to win by large score.
W. & Us victory over Penn State
and her tie game with Yale have
branded this team as one Of the very
best in the, United States this year
and if she can land Il win over Pitt
luIN anu NIlNAt NNHA hP va
Wesleyan and Buckncll, her two re-
naming games, there is going to be
considerable honor in it for W. 4:
J. Incldcntly, if Wesleyan could
manage to slip one over on W. & ].
rs she has every change Of doing,
there would certainly be no little
honor in It for Wesleyan.
Arrangements for the game have
been g0igg forward rapidly and III"
seats being erected by the traction
company will be completed next
week in plenty Of time for the game.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 15.--In

offered motion that the rules of last

with three amendments. These
amendments provided that no bills
be sent to committee except by ma

and that the rules may be suspended

These changes in the rules merely
provided that the majority shall rule

in the past their strong point has
been the cry of majority rule. A

SPLENDID GAIN
IN ATTENDANCE
MORE PUPILS ARE GOING TO
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF COUNTY
THAN EVER BEFORE.

AS the result of the enforcement
of the compulsory school law the at
tendance at the schools in all parts
of the county is steadily increasing.
For the first two months of the school
year the increase in the attendance
has been 94S, of which 525 are white
and 431 colored. This is a gain of
more than twenty per cent as com
pared with previous years. 1t is the
largest number ever before in at
tendance upon the public schools of
the count. The fact that the in
crease in the attendance is more than
100 greater than the gain in the en-
rollment shows that the children are
not only starting to school but they
are remaining in school. County Su-
perintendent Graham is highly graft
fled at the progress that has been
made, which surpasses his expecta
tions.
