SPECIAL TO the YIlEoRAMl
BUCKHANNON, Feb. 10.-When
the Wesleyan basketball team started
to Morgantown last Monday at noon
the Baltimore and Ohio train due in
Buckhannon at 1905 noon was an
hour and a half late and the men
missed two cars in Weston either of
which would have landed them in
Fairmont in time to secure the
lar train for Morgantown at 1890.
Missing the cars, however, made it
impossible for Fairmont to be reach
ed before 6 o'clock, after which there
was no train to Morgantown till mid
night. Manager: Stansbury was in
Morgantown but telephone communi-
cation was established with Superin-
tendent Scott Of the Baltimore and
Ohio at Grafton as well as with Mr..
Lough OF the Monongahela Valley
Traction Company at Fairmont and
through heroic efforts on the part of
these two men it was arranged. where
by the Wesleyan basketballers would
reach Morgantowni on a special train
a full hour in advance of the time to
start the game. The Baltimore and
Ohio people did a magnificent thing
in refusing to charge more for the
special train than the regular fares
for the party Of seven men carried as
they insisted that the regular train
should have been held at Weston for
the usual connection. Those familiar
with the incident are loud IN their
praise Of the fine WORK Of the Balti-
more and Ohio as well as for the able
assistance Of Mr.. Tough.
