FAST FOOTBALL AT
SOUTH SIDE TODAY
Fairmont and Buckhannon
High Schools are Well
Matched.

Fairmont and Buckhannon High
started a battle this afternoon ON
South Side park which will result In
one or the other teams being comfort
ably In the lead for the championship
OF the northern part Of the state at
High school football. Buckhannon has
never been scored on this season and
Fairmont has defeated a team that
held Buckhannon to a tie. therefore
the fans Of the city are enjoying one
OF the prettiest and snappiest foot.
ball games Of the local season this
afternoon.
With heavy line and lightning fast
backfield, Buckhannon is confident she
can hold the locals. They however, in
the past week. have developed some
OF the plunging tendencies of a pile
driver. The backlleld is as fast on
its feet as n weasel. and can get
through holes just as readily.
y new wire fence was erected along
the sidelines yesterday to prevent the
curious ones splitting out on the field
ut tense moments of play. Such an
affair has been needed badly for q
number OF years.
All of Fairmont's injured are in con-
dition and will be in the game. Be-
cause OF the reputation Buckhannon
has OF having a fighting eleven, and
the determination Fairmont has OF
beating them today, a large crowd
turned out TO see the game.
