.GriidiYoYl Notes

South Side Park yesterday was the
scene Of many activities in the line
of trench digging and football! play.
ing The Fa!.mont Normal School
and the Fairmcnt High School teams
Travelled back and forth across the
Imaginary gridiron all afternoon,
Each team played on section apart
from the other.
The players on the Normal School
team were not working too hard as
they were aware that the game they
are playing today against the Glen
Vile Normal was to be q hot one, as
well; as the frat engagement of the
season; which the Bell boys are very
Anxious to win.
Bell has completed team and the
game this afternoon at the South side
Park will determine whatever weak
spots there are, II any.
The first team worked out on line
work with Hawkins playing at the
left end. Hawkins is showing up
nicely and barring stage fright IL the
'hfsts encounter is bound to make good.
provided he is selected to be part OF
the llneup.
About as Of the Normal players
were out yesterday, most OF them in
action. Two eleyens were formed
j. and played open against each other:
Practice stopped at 6 O'clock aad will
not be resumed until after the team
meets Chenille.
s---s
Reed,TRidgly. Hartley. and Frame in
the backfleld worked In "All Amerl'
canesteam style. There is one thing
Chenille will be sorry II struck when:
the{two teams NEE: this afternoon ana
that Is the above bacEteld. The line
with Morgan at cert!ES and LAWSON,
,Laulis, Erwin, Siivatta, Smal!wco4
And Hawkins on the line, it looks bad
Tor the boys from Glenville.
Coach sharadin had his men digging
trenches on the field yesterday, EVIL
IDENTIFY thinking he would entrench ms
team while the Normal and GIenEil!s
were tearing each others legs ana
arms of this afternoon in both teams
initial encounter. Sharadin VIII nave
all his men ready to go to Grafton al
ter watching the slaughter OF the Glen
Vile Normal this afternoon ne
game with Grafton will be played IN
Grafton. The Fairmont High schoo!
team will be in uniform at the Normal
eame and will have work out prob
ably after the contest.
The most likely looking haifback
that Sharadin has tried in his lineup
this year IS Jimmie Knight. who here
fofore has been playing right end:
Jimmie lis an old timer at the football
came and is handy at any spot. Be-
sides r seems the High School is lots
weaker In the backfield than they VIII
be- at the terminal positions after
i Knight leaves right end. sharadin
mas Shore and Arnett; both OF whom
WIN make good ends. It Is question
able though whether forward passes
can be covered in the same style as
they were when knight was on the
end. Shore Is first class at taking the
passes, and Arnett is rapidly hecom'
ing expert. II Shnradln can make the
change and put Knight into the back
feld there Is every reason to suppose
that hesSwill hayela better team.
Goodnough. Ginkle, Stevens and Pei
!ierino were missing from the lineup |
yesterday afternoon. but the men that |
, were there were given a hard drill.
