|nual game with Washing ton and .Jef-;
ferson College which is to be played
lat Clarksburg next Saturday, Novem-

from Wes1eyan's players, the student

than any game scheduled this year

Ber interest has been shown in q

", Wesleyan HOPES 10 Win.
The game itself and its result is the
subject Of much speculate lion. Wesley
ans showing against the Indians has
raised Orange and Black stock tres
mendously and while Washington and
Jefferson has shown as formid ably as
in the past there are many followers
OF Wesleyan that believe II will go
into the game on even footing with
Folwe1l's eleven. The basis for these
claims is that Wesleyan Is fully forty
per cent stronger than in 1914 and IL
right now playing in the best form Of
The entire year. It not only has q
forward passing attack as In former
years but a running and line plungine
offense too that must be reckoned with
In addition. Formerly Washington
and Jefferson had simply .'laid for
the Wesleyan, passes, hut this year
there will be other derations and
Wesleyan players as well as support
ers are confident that the result Of
the game will he greatly TO the credit
ZOE the Orange and Black y 4
Line Much Improved.
The marked Improvement OF the
Wesleyan line as well as the consist
emily brilliant play Of the entire back
field has been "a big feature Of the
development OF the team in the las,
two weeks. Against Carlisle the line
probably showed It's real worth to
greater advantage than at any other
time. Three times Carlisle had the
ball inside the ten yard line with foui
downs in which to- gain the coveted
goal, but on each occasion the mighty
Calac and his cohorts were thrown
without gain or with losses and g
touchdown was averted. There has
never been at Wesleyan d line that
charged so quickly and aggressiyely
as that which has been starting the
Hast two or three games. The re.
suit OF this aggressiveness Is shown
too IN the large number of tackles
made back Of the opposing line. II
the Carlisle game Captain Kelltson
Blair and Lewis repeatedly charged
through their opponents and into the
Ibackfield OF the Indians and got the
man before he had started to circle
the ends.
