RED and BLACK
ELEVEN TO PLAY
HERE THIS FALL
Old Stars VIII Be Absent from.
Lineup. But Good Game
Can Be locked for.


That GIaIksburg in 1915 will again
have q big football game that will DO
the feature of the football season, so
far as Ciarksbgrg is concerned, was
confirmed the 9TH eli day when the
Washington and Jefferson schedule
for 1914 WAS announced. showing
game at Union park on Saturday. No
vep1ber 10 with Wesleyan. In 1913
the big game OF the season for C1iarks-
burg was that between Wesleyan and
Washington and Jefferson. which re-
suited in a sou victory for the Red
and Black. but only after a stubbornly
fought and exciting contest In 1914
the big game was between the Carlisle
Indians and Wesleyan This game
resulted go in favor OF the red men,
and now in 1915 we come back to the
Washington and Jefferson combina-
ton that last year beat Yale, and
virtually tied Harvard and was mem
toned most prominently as the best
team IN the United States
Washington and j efferson is a great
attraction in Clatlss1uTg as was evil
tdenced when the record breaking
crowd greeted her fine team In 1912.
Wesleyan, of course. has many fol-
lowers here and no more ideal COM
Snation, so far as local interest is
concerned could be arranged than a
misunderstanding and Jefferson
meeting such as Is planned C1arks-
burg is indeed fortunate in seeing an
rlalIy such teams as Washington ana
Jefferson and Carlisle in action In
naming a list of the greatest teams
and the most talked OF teams in the
United States it would be absolutely
impossible to leave either of these
big teams out of the first eight or ten
named, SO great Is their prestige
throug hout the country
Washington and Jefferson next year
loses such stars as Spiegei, FLEMING,
Crulckshank and others and will be
dependent on new material to more
or less extent, ]. but these passing
stars were new once and it would
not be at all surprising to see Wash
ington and Jefferson represented in
1915 by a team that will attract as
equally widespread attention as Yale
conquerors did in 19l4 4
While Washington and Jefferson
will stand to suffer a reverse in form
Wesleyan should next year be repre-
scented by the best team the NIetho-
Edlsts have ever put out According
to the dope from Buckhannon. no
more than two men will be lost to.t1le
first string squad that carried Off the
west virginia championship this year
and with an abundance3of new mater
ial in sight great visions are unfold
ing for the Wesleyan supporters. In
ICaptain-elect Kellison, Wesleyan has
a leader that is not excelled as a foot
ball player in this section: His leader
ship will count for a great deal next
year and with Mount Pleasant and
Carlow to again crafty guide the
team, 1t is a certainty that something
out OF the ordinary will be developed
at Buckhannon. Il
The 1919 game between Wesleyan
and Washington and Jefferson at
Union park will long be remembered
by Clarksburg people as ono OF the
most spectacular eversplayed in West
Virginia in spite of the rather one
sided score Washington and .Jeffer-
son rolled UP tlrirty-five points BY
dint Of the hardest kind of work. while
WESLEYAN sacrificed defensive play in
ian effort to score This vas consid-
cred by many as being poor judg-
ment on the part of Wesleyan, hut
whatever the merits Of this contention
may have been, it is certain that this
feature helped to mako the game an
!exceedingly sensational affair Fully
five thousand people attended and
lClarksburg was enrolled as one Of

be a fine exhibition and finaSnluch as
