ball.

BACKGAMMON, Oct. 24.-Hot
ffom the anvil came the news yester-
day that the eleven which is to OPP
pose West Virginia Wesleyan on the
srtdiron OF Norwood Park, Clarks-
burg, West Virginia on Saturday,
October Is, Is not only good team
but one Of high standing among the
eastern football squads this season.
Proof Of this statement will be found
ii the facts which follow:
Lebanon Valley College has five
veterans from the team Of 1916 which
held the Army to a 80 score with
0ifphant running at his best. These
are Fisheburne, tackle and captain of
the 1918 eleYVn; Harvey, fast half;
Kemfoidt, big center; Wing, fast end;
and Ileidig, q husky fullback. These
men have around them some Of the
brightest new stars that are found in
the pigskin toys this season.
This season Lebanon Valley has a
schedule which includes Lehigh,
Bucknell, Johns Hopkins, Mount st.
Mays Delaware College, Heidelberg,
Susquehanna University and AL
bright The only eleven to down the
Lebanon Valley boys to date was
Heidelberg But this happened on
foreign field and by small score, so
Wesleyan seems to face a real propo-
sition on Saturday. On last Saturday
Lebanon Valley. defeated Su7quehan-
na University by massive score
and susquehanna University is not
