MORE BEEF ON THE
.MOUNTAINEER TEAM
West Virginia will Have
Strong Advantage in
Saturdays Game.

MoRGANToWN, Sept. 24.-Accord-
ing to the statistics on the Marietta
college football team sent here today
for the program which is to be issued
at the game, West Virginia will have
an advantage of Is pounds per man III
weight in Saturday afternoons en-
counter on the Varsity field here. The
weights OF the Marietta team as sent
here are as follows: Center, Cox
100; guards, Haddax 1870, Sweeney 100;
tackles, Alleman 175, Eaton 175; ends,
Hunter 1870, Reiter 100; quarterback,
Ransom, 40; halfbacks, Robinson
$50, Shepherd 165; fulback, Stewart,
ITO.
Local people who know some of the
Marietta players, however, are in
clined to doubt the veracity OF the
weight of some of the players. When
Braden Alleman was here he seldom
weighed in at less than 1856 pounds,
whereas Marietta has him down at 175.
Eaton, too, is a mighty big man for
175 and Stewart don't weigh any less
than ITO certainly
But, as is the case with the Noun.
taineers, Marietta is not playing regu-
larly some of her biggest men. Ma
rletta has always been noted rather
for the lightness and speed of her
teams rather than beef This has been
especially true within the last few
years and West Virginia looks for an
engagement on Saturday that will full
ly test her mettle and that cannot be
taken too lightly.

TdaInay and Consumer
May Play Sunday

Tie third and deciding game Of
the county championship baseball Sc
ries between Idamay and Consumers
VIII be played at Traction lark at
Monongah next Sunday if the plans
81 Manager Port Knight of the Ida
NAY nipe materialize Both of the
other games have been played on the
Consumers diamond at Blackstone
Park and because the 1damay dia-
mond IS not easily accessible, 1t Is
thought best to play the last game
81 Monongah where fans from all over
the county will have no trouble Sec
ing the game
II Is possible that after the win
ner OF the Idamay Consumers series
develops, a challenge will be issued
by the Monongah Athletic Club. II
this Is the case 1t will be accepted
and the county championship will go
tiie winner Of series with this club.
Is planned to have the series
concluded In the near future before
cold and disagreeable weather makes
baseball unpleasant

The musician Of today looks like a

the Philadelphia Record. He Is as

Short cropped hair is supplanting the

manner.sms which serve no uHnful

The modern musician IS GOOD

eral life OF thu community instead OF

has learned that people now want
