WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. TO-
President Wilson has framed definite
course to be pursued in case Germany

his address to Congress. He will not
ask Congress for a declaration of war,
but will do just what was promised in
the address-ask that he be allowed to

and travellers.

The proximity OF war with the pos.
sibility of volunteer service and even,
as final result, CONSUMPTION, natural
ly suggests the effect it would have on
sport.
War conditions in America could
not vary much from those in the bel
ligerent European countries, and TAX
ing these as an example, amateur and
professional sport would practically
be suspended until the end OF the
war.
In case of CONSUMPTION, athletes,
amateur and professional, between is
and 80, would be drafted into the ser.
vice. This would practically take ev-
cry athlete OF prominence in all
branches of sport.
Even should they escape conscrip'
ton the idea OF lot OF husky, trained
to.the.minute men engaging in base
ball or like amusements would be so
unpopular that it would not be toler-
ated-to say nothing of patronized.
There are practically no American
precedents to go by in considering the
question. During the civil war, the
major sports had not reached the
prominence they hold today. Baseball
was practically unknown, football was
not invented until several years later,
golf and tennis had not obtained prom

VASH-JEFF TOO
MUCH FOR NORMAL
Local Tossers Will Go tc
CIarksburg For Game
This Evening.

Playing hard fast basketball against
big odds, the Normal basketball five
last night held w. G j. to 81 to 16
score and incidentally put up one Of
the gamest fights Fairmont fans this
season have had the pleasure of wit.
Messing, The visitors were bigger and
more experienced and were able to
almost ride over the scrappy little
Normalites.
The playing of little Mike Hamilton
was the prettiest thing of the evening.
Mike was in practically every play and
the way he handled himself would be
credit to any basketballer. When
he stacked up against some of the
big w. & j. huskies the contrast was
comical. At one time Mike got mixed
up in play and the first sight of him
the fans got was when he came sled
ding out on his rump, skating a dis
lance OF fifteen feet or more and then
going over on his feet in a pretty little
back flip.
A wonderful improvement is evi.
dent in the Normal playing when 1t is
remembered that at the start Of the
season Marietta defeated them 100 to
10; w. & j. Thursday night bested
Marietta 1925, but last night Normal
came back and held the big Pennsyl'
yania to 57-16 score.
The big Normal gymnasium was
packed and iammed with fans every
one of whom at tn conclusion of the
game declared 1t was hum digger.

inence. boxing matches were few and
frowned on by law.
OF course there is the precedent of
the Spanish war, but that war was
over i'll few months and was not gen.
orally taken very seriously.
II war should come patriotism would
sweep baseball. boxing, football and
kindred sports before it.
Already baseball is preparing for
such an eventuality. In some of the
minor leagues magnates are already
planning TO close their parks for a
season in case of war and Ban Johnson
president of the American league, is
now mapping out a course should
there be call to the colors.
Also in such u contingency 1t will
be interesting to watch the rise in the
popularity of boxing with its Darcys,
its Badouts, 1t S Welshes and its 9th
er patriotic representatives.
On the other hand indications early
point to a general enlistment OF col
leGe athletes.
Princeton was the first to the from.

the thTo~e. 5 neuu wnIcn resembles a
device made u few years ago to devel-
op an artificial spitball.
The attachment slips off the ball as
it leaves the hand after 1t has given
the ball spin and sets the plunger
which causes the bomb to explode on
contact.
The invention is regarded as one OF
the most important dedevelopments in
bomb warfare.
Hand grenades now used in Europe
are dangerous. They explode easily
and are not equipped with safety de.
vices to protect the thrower. They are
often dropped with disastrous results
in the trenches or in charges.
The American invention may be
thrown or dropped without exploding
unless the plunger is set by the hand
attachment.
The formula for the explosives in the
bombs and the secret of the detonator
are carefully guarded secrets of the
ordnance bureau of the army.

BOYS TO WORK ON FARMS

The school board is permitting the
High School boys to go to work on
farms at this time in order to par
TALLY relieve the lack of farm help
in the community. A boy who goes
to work at this time will be permit
ted to receive the grades he has so
far received as if they were semester
grades. OF course if boy has failed
to do satisfactorily work so far this
semester in a given subject, he will
not be given credit in that subject
He will receive only the grades that
he has so far earned. In addition
the boys are to bring a statement at
the close OF the school year given by
the person for whom they work. in
dicating the fact that all of the time
has actually been used for farm
work
This plan of the board is in ac-
cordance with similar plans being
carried out all over the country by
high schools and colleges. The
great need for farm crops this year
makes it patriotic service for the
boys to get out into the fields to "do
their bit" Several of the boys are
availing themselves of this oppor-
tunity, and are beginning farm work
at once.
