ALL SHOWING GREAT STRENGTH

spite OF the great stress being placed
on the war. West Virginia from 4
squad of thirty men in 1916 has back
only eight men. or less than thirty per
cent. yet the Old Cold and Blue has
been playing the very best teams the
country has and coming out with rec
ord that is attracting attention far
and wide The names OF Captain
Bailey. Rodgers. King. Lentz, Ice and
Mills were the only familiar ones In

with Dartmouth started. and Of these.
Ice. Mills and Lcntz were substitutes

Old Gold and Blue for the first time
this year. At Wesleyan much the
same condition exists. The lineup
against Wash.-J"ff. Il week ago showed
the names of Rcck. Fisher and Tschap-
pat four men who wore the Orange
and Black Of Wesleyan year ago.
Hymes SnedcGer. Eillebrcw. Johnson,

that all Of them are made up for tn"

that. first. young men under good
coaching make az good football play
ers as older men. and second, that the
general standard Of. football in the
Mountain state Is experiencing SUCH
great development that even Dig
thing like the war with Germany can
not retard II.
The indications are now that III"
big games between Wesleyan and West
Virginia and Wash. len. TO be played
at Clarksburg and l'airmont on Norem-
Der II and l.. respectively will bring
out two crowds that will excel any
thing ever produced for any athletic
event in the state in former years:
That the public Is following football
even more closely than ever Is tndi-
Gated by the fact that Pitt and West
Virginia drew almost a thousand more
people Mt MorSantown In their OPEN
ing game than the previous record
there even for Washington and JEFF
ferson-West Virginia games. and this
in spite of the fact that the newsna-
rcrs were still filled with the worlds
series. and that the football season
was young.
