Disagree On Details of Game

BUCKHANNON. ". Va, June 26.-
H. A. Stansbury. manager Of athletics
at Wesleyan College, has denied that
there has been a contract signed by
Wesleyan and West Virginia for the
annual game OF football on next
Thanksgiving. While the preliminary
arrangements were made for the
game last February, since that time
there has been some sort OF disagree
ment between the schools in regard to
minor details Of the game and it seems
as If these points can not be settled
satisfactorily to both teams.
Neither team has yet completed ar.
engagements for a Thanksgiving game,
and it may be that the schools will
get together later on. but it now seems
as If the annual match will not be
played next year.

race by a length and a half, the race
being rowed over a mile and a j
course in the dark. No time was Ia

began,at 1880 as a two-mile race. but
while Harvard was leading at a mile
and three-ouarters an oarlock at the
stroke seat broke and the race was
matted. After repairs were MADE the
race vas resumed, a half-mtle being

The race was singularly devoid OF
