WESLEYANS PLAY BIGGEST
GAME AT HOME SATURDAY.

WESLEYAN will have a foe at football
at Buckhannon Saturday that prom
ises to give her all she is looking for
in the way Of opposition. Catholic
University from Washington, d. e., is
to play the Methodists and as this
team has already established itself by
holding the Naval Academy to 60 and
beating the Maryland Aggies 1910, it
can readily be seen that the Orange
and Black has it's work cut out for it.
Many local people are going to at
tend the game as it is seldom that a
team of the calibre of Catholic Uni
versity gets solar from the big cities
and the roads being good, large num-
Der will motor over to the Upshur
county seat for the contests.
Wesleyan's game with Bethany last
Saturday resulted $40 in favor OF
Wesleyan, so that it can be seen that
Wesleyan is again Championship
contender, and those who have beer
counting West Virginia University as
the sure winner on Thanksgiving are
beginning to make their calculations
again.

them at that hour-some had hopes of
their appearance after the shadows of
the night began to fall. All eyes
looked in vain.

FOOT BALL

Last Saturday an interesting game
of foot ball was played between Bel
ington High School and Wesleyan Re-
serves. The score was 26-0, in favor
of Belington high.
Those who attended the game all
agree in saying it was the cleanest,
Strengthened one played here in recent
years. The Wesleyan players put
up a good game but in no instance
was the Belington goal in danger.
Wesleyan's team was probably weak
ened by some of their regular men
being taken on the varsity.
Quite crowd came out to see the
game in spite of the threatening
weather, but the sun shone out the
second quarter and no one could have
asked for better day..
