leyan Number of Times.
Bob Folwell and the Washington and
yeHerson gridders made their second
INVASION Of West Virginia today and
TINS time left the fold OF play with a
scalp on their belt. In beautifully
played game, featured by slashing end
runs and long forward passes Wes-
leyan went down to defeat, to the tune
y 80, before the aggregation from
Little Washington. Three thousand
football fans, the Wesleyan rooters
predominating, watched the two teams
battle four fifteen minute periods at
Norwood park here today.
The day was an ideal one for foot.

In o soggy condition and interferred
with the staging Of fast football, but III

and Pacific coast were more or less
surprised when Washington and JET

route for a victory. The short lobb
over the center of the limo that the
Red and Black has used with good ef-
tect this year was not used more than
three times. Instead Little WASH

slashing end runs and then sand

pass. 1t was the latter brand OF foot
ball that put the Red and Black within

Z and 1t was again the same brand that
fnetted the only touchdown Of the
game.

AT 1909 o'clock the big event OF the
day was called. The preliminary
squabble between Davis and Elkins
and Marshall was no sooner ended
until Captain Kellison, OF the big Wes-
leyan aggregation, led his team upon
the field. The boys ran through q
snappy practice and had retired to the
sidelines before Washington and JEFF
ferson, headed.by Captain Wesbecher,
made its appearance. Both teams got
a goo dround Of applause at its ap-
pearance.
Although Wesleyan played clean and
consistent football during the frsthalf
It was outclassed by the Red and
Black. The Wesleyan backs were I'M
able to advance the ball consistently
and the forward passes attempted
fizzled. A..
McCreight, the big SWash-Jeff full
back, was the bright star during the
first half. Time after time he advanced
the ball by slashing end runs. The
Red and Black interference completely
blocked the Wesleyan wings and Nc
Creight was usually good for ten or
twenty yards every time he ran the
Wesleyan ends. Washington and JEFF
ferson, however, was unable to do any
thing against the stonewall defense Of
Wesleyan's line.
1t was near the end OF the second
quarter that the first score OF the game
came. The Red and Black had adj
vanced the ball steadily down the field
by end runs and forward passes. The
teams lined up on Wesleyan's twenty
yard line and by neatly executed for
ward pass to Hayman, the speedy w.
q j. end, raced across for the first
touchdown.
sss A Battle Royal.
Wesleyan came back strong in the
second half. 1t was not until the
fourth period, however, that Wesleyan
began to look dangerous. Time after
time they gained consistently and at

were about to push the pigskin over
for a touchdown, The best the Wes-
leyan boys could do, though. was to
attempt field goal. On the twenty
three yard line Captain Kellison fell
back for a field goal and was success
Set1l. The ball scared high and direct
" between the two uprights.
Wesleyan then seemed to come into
Its own and for several minutes COM
pletely rushed Washington and JEFF
ferson OF its feet. The squirt was
short lived, however, and when the
fourth quarter closed the Red and
Black had the ball in its possession
and were on Wesleyan's twenty yard
line.
Jimmy" Heavier, a former Clarks-
burg high school star, did Wesleyan's
punting and completely outclassed
Heyman for Washington and Jefferson.
On a safe estimate Heyman's punts
did not average more than thirty yards,
while Heavner's easily averaged forty.
There was considerable fumbling
during the last half, with the Red and
Black the worse offenders. Several
times Folwell's proteges lost the ball
after substantial gains by heartbreak-
ing fumbles.
For Washinfton and Jefferson Nc
Creight was the star Of the day. Cap
