Local teams have been having a tough
tine Of It and despite the fact that they
raust fight the prevailing conditions
brought on by the great conflict this
undesirable creature. Mr.. Flu. mas
nended his way to the Nmelght. mucn
to tho dissatisfaction and tho Uiscorn-
fort Of all persons concerned. whether
athletes or Of another line. However
there viii be two local teams In action
this week. but the games will be staged
away from home.
Linsly.
Tho Orange and BLACK under the per-
Donal direction OF Coach Goodwin IS
rounding to condition rartdly. L:nsly
has a wonderful team this year. In
fact some say il Is superior TO the sx-
oellsut eleven oe tho past which IS q
gerry bold statement. Practically all
Of last years men are available ana VITA
the able substitutes in readiness thrrH
its no reason why the team should not
tsuccced.-
Yesterday afternoon the manager er
the Washington Pa. high school eleven
called Manaaer Ackcr. OF Linsly. and
cancelled the game for Saturday. which
WAS scheduled for the Pennsylvania
town. Il was given out that the ottl-
ctals deemed It advisable on the GROUND
that II would draw many people from
the W. g. J-Calnp Sherman game and
Nh hfEh school did not care TO be put
In q bad light However. q game IS
booked for some time in the near Io
ture. tho exact date not being given out
at this time. Up until late hour last
evening no other game had been pookeo
by the Orange and Black despite efforts
TO hook up with pn opponent 1t 10
probable that something will turn UP
to-day as the locals are very anxious
70 get in action and DO not care to re-
main idle. 1t IA with regret that the
fans learn Of the cancellation or the
WashinGton;ans as this game was De-
Ing counted upon as one OF the DIS at
fractions OF the ontire schedule ana
would put tho locals 70 tho real test.
Wheeling.
The Ola Gold and Elua machine IS
working daily under Coaches Calvin
and Johns. and will De In due condition
70 meet the fast Cambridge high grid
ders Tomorrow az tho Ohio town.
CAPTAIN Stohbs has been untirtng in
his efforts and is driving his COM
-ades hard to stare off defeat and up
hold the wonderful glory that has be-
dscked the halls OF this popular school
In the years passed. That undying
spirit Is still In evidence and from oil
dope no matter how many will be lost
that wheeling high spirit will be
characteristic and then watch tho boys
20 after the opposition. Wheeling has
nor Rad n poor football team for years
and has always been recognized as one
of the foremost in state high school CIR
Giles. In watching tho boys perform
there Is Joy in some places. Clemens
formerly Of Triadelphia, has entered the
local school and to see the youngster
perform Is a revelation to the many fol-
lowers OF the Gold and Blue. Munas'
a mere boy. Is making a grand try tor
the quarter job and no should land
ILove and Clark look pretty good for the
ends. while the backrleld should be UP
to the standard Of former years
Wheeling will miss the line buckinG OF
Basfsta. who made such Wondcrfui
impression last year.
Others.
Cathedral high school has not attempt
Cd TO even practice this week and FOL
this reason no game has been booked
It Is a shame Indeed. as Coach Thoe
phoen had hopes OF rounding out fas
little team and with several weeks gon'
the chances are somewhat spoiled. Coacl
Coberly. OF Triadelpha, has nift;
looking outfit and those who have seei
the team in action predict an UNUSUALLY
; good record. TWO games have beer
won by the boys already and by wio
margins. Warwood has not shown 81
very much but has O fairly good sched
ule. Moundsviue has not put In ma ap
pearance this season but Is schedule
