WEST VIRGINIA MAY
RESUME FOOTBALL

Morgantown. Nov. 3-While moth
ing Is as yet definitely known as to
what will be the outcome it is con-
fidently expected that when the Uni
versity resumes its work on Tuesday
November 5, the new schedule Of rouo-
tine for classes and drill will pro-
vide the one hour and a half each
day for recreation that the formal
programs OF the Committee on Edu-
cation and School Training specihcal-
ly provide for and in which period
it would be possible to develop q
strong representative football team
for the Mountaineer institution.
1t cannot be understood here how ii
is possible for Pitt. Penn State and
other technical schools, with fully as
much and perhaps more laboratory
work and class work, to go forward
with football and be allowed a dofi-
mite period every day when West Vir-
ginia is denied that time. In fact,
the question has a still broader appH-
cation I'm that the denial of any tirns
whatever for the $50 men in the Stu
dents Army Training Corps here for
recreation is directly contrary to the
orders Of the War Department if the
newspapes have correctly quoted
these orders.

wick on November is and the w. and

Washington will be represented by
a cross-country team in the South

be run either on Saturday, November

eran Mike Lynch, of the Carroll In

other veteran of the game. who is
member of the Baltimore Cross
Country Club. has been appointed
chairman of the cross country cham
pionship run and Mike Lynch. of this
city, has been named his assistant.
Dan is a great rival Of Mixes, only
in age. as the local hiker has always
shown Dan the way over any course
from five miles 10 the regulation
marathon distance.
But Mike has now got the cross
country bug again and he does not
intend to stand idle and watch the
boys compete for the medals and va
rious prizes and is out to organize
a team to represent Washington in
this championship distance run. 1t
is the intention OF the cross-country
to stage this race with the
finish OF the last three miles In some
park in-the Monumental city where
admission can be charged. as Ill
War Work Service drive.
The veteran Mike Lynch il already
out digging among the foothills for
ancient athletes of the rubber-soled
shoe. while he is also doing a little
scouting among the various war
workers and Tnen in the colors in this
vicinity so as to warrant Washing
ton turning out a goodly number for
this championship affair.
The veteran Carroll Institute man
ager has already uncovered Danny
HeaIy, the one-time South Atlantic
champion, from the Tenth street or
ganization. while Johnny Campbell,
the Georgetown University crack
miller. who was q cross-country run
ner before going under the wing Of
Coach John O'Reilly. has given his
word that he will start training for
distance hiking.

caused such a sensation few years
ago by finishing third under the

runners he has lined up 10 date and
is confident with faithful training they
will be in readiness for the United

INDOOR BASEBALL
BIG HIT IN FRANCE

Baseball as played indoors during
the winter months in the United
States is proving remarkably popular
among the allied soldiers in France.
1t Is played, of course, out of doors,
but the large indoor ball is used and
the rules of indoor baseball are ad-
hered to.
II seems to be an easier game as
well sor the British soldiers to learn
than the more scientific and technical
outdoor baseball. 1t is quickly learned
and its calibre is not too high to ad-
nit an amateur. The English SOL
diers find that any good cricket
player possesses sufficient ouaIifica-
tions TO feel at home in a few
innings.
