football game now scheduled for
October IA at Parkersburg will in

part OF the attractiveness from Park
crsburg standpoint was removed with
the resignation OF Neale Hence the
decision to shift the game.
Manager McIlvane OF Muskingum
proposed that the game be played in
Huntington or New Concord. Director
Chambers made a counter proposal to
stage the game at Wheeling. out OF
Difference to the many requests from
Wheeling for the appearance of the
Big Green there. II is expected that
definite action will be taken soon
1t was further learned at Marshall
that there is possibility that the
Marshall-Ot terbcin game now booked
for the local field on November 4 may
be shifted to Charleston. Director
Chambers has received several re-
Guests from Charleston for game
and since the capital city is one OF
the best football towns in West Vir-
ginia the Ottcrbein game may go
there. For several years the West Vir-
Washington Lee game has been
the sole college game in Charleston
and now that the interest there has
been worked up. Charleston grid fans
are anxious for more battles. The
Marshall-Otterbein game should he one
OF the best staged In the state this fall.

That question many hearts in every

where rests all that Is mortal Of our
loved ones, and there arise in our
hearts the great questions about what

lie like heavy stones between US and
our departed dear ones, and we say:

The message of Easter is an an

that we, too, find the stone rolled
away. We are often told that we err
to sorrow for our loved ones gone.

greatly with those who had met such
