ian.)
MoRcANTowN. w. Va, Aug. 70.
LIN anticipation of having the larg.
est football squad out this fall that
ever graccd the athletic field at the
university, Manager Russell H. Gist,
of Wellsburg, is devoting the most OF
his time at present to figuring ont
Just what kind and amount of equip
mcnt will be needed. Manager Gist
is In communication with several Of
the leading sport houses Of the coun-
try and will place his order within
the next few days. The public has
no idea Of the amount of equipment
1t requires to outfit fifty or sixty men
to say nothing of the large outlay of
money. Up until last fall university
football clevens had always appeared
In old gold jerseys but to satisfy the
desires of many of the regulars n
slight change was made. jerseys Of
blue and an old gold band around the
body were substituted but tile men
wanted to change back to the old ones
before the season wasChalf over as It
seems that practically every college
team In this section hhas atlsimilar
make UP. Therrcsult-was that it was
difficult to distinguish the players In
a game and because ofahis, fact the
Jerseys this fall 'willrno doubt be
of a solid old gold color. West Vir-
GINA is the only Ntcamrin this section
OF the country using this particular
color. 'e'1' Egr. Il
When the order is nlaced, new out
and out equipment, will be purchased
for twcnty-four men who will com !
pose what will be known as the varsi7
ty squad; The.remaining members of
the squad will have. to be content
with wearing odds and ends which
have been. accommodating for years.
Coach Metzger. was recently in Phil
adelphia where he placed n large or
der for shouler pads and knee protec.
tors of his own personal design. He
ordered them for delivery the first of
September. Special shoes for the
backfleld men will be purchased and
the shoes TO be worn by the linemen
will be of a spGcial design. The back
field men will be equipped with dit
fcrent sets OF shoes to be worn TO suit
the occasion. The season last fall
was wet one and the ordinary foot
ball shoe was of little value in the
deem mud which covered the athletic
field: Manager Gist sends out the
word that the Varsity eleven will be
the hest equipped of any that ever
represented the university as he Is
anxious to make his managership of
this falls eleven an example for
those who come after to follow.
