No grief-bowed mourning theirs,
No bitter means and cries;
They stand with upraised head
Looking with radiant eyes
Above this earth, far, far
To, where each golden star
Shines in the darkened skies
They have the answered prayers!
They wear glory, shed
From the bright spirits fed
Beyond the Western bar
Into Gods Paradise.

BCCkHANNON. Nov. 1S.-The theme
of the conservation which is being pass
cd about In the sporting world OF thus
section just now are the possibilities
which West Virginia Wesleyan has Tor
winning the game With Washington ana
jefferson on November ~. The surprise
which Bethany gave the red and black
by holding the Conquerors or Syracuse
to 4 40 score. was not beyond the
regular weekly surprises which have
been taking place during the season.
1t is no secret that Coach Drumm ana
Captain Fisher were spectators at the
Bethany-W. Il J. game while the "es-
leyan eleven had its usual grooming
down at Buckhannon under the care OF
'director Shumaker and eX-captaln Seek.
The work Of the Washington and Jerer-
son eleven was not such as TO display
Just what the presidents VIII spring on
Wesleyan in Washington on next sat
urday. Wesleyan is preparing Tor eN-
actly what W. & j. IS expecting. Ihat
is nothing more than the st!ffest game
that the presidents will have on their
home field this season. The game Is adj
vertised in Washington and In the
Washington and Jefferson sector as be-
ing the hardest contest and the feature
contest on the entire home schedule.
Every appearance Of Wesleyan on the
grid Of the president has been one or big
features and from every indication the
showing Wesleyan makes in Washing
ton on the coming Saturday will not be
short Of the prestige Wesleyan bears
in the Pennsylvania college city: In the
year Of 1916 Wesleyan lost to w. 4 j..
, in a stiff encounter by the count OF 2l-O
The following year and the las. game
played between the clevens resulted in
a 1876 victory for w. & j.. the game be-
ing played again in WASHINGTON. Prior
TO these thrilling games Wesleyan held
w. &; j.. TO a 7-3 tally in Clarksburg.

Wesleyan had been going like storm
raging machine until the Hateful day OF
November s, when Marietta. gave the
Mcthodists a fine licking. Wesleyan
played 4 poor brand of ball while the CO.
hor,s Of Greasy" Neale played bang
up game every minute. The strength
. Of the Marietta lads was entirely under
rated which seems to account for the
loss OF the game by the Methodists
rather n IN the weakness Of Wesleyan.
; Judgirs from the brand OF football

J excluding the Marietta game. the clash
, in Washington with w. & j.. is going to
: be one filled with thrills. Wesleyan is
! favored by having lost to Marietta.
I The Methodists are smarting beneath
the defeat and shall strive to gain lost
honors against W. & J. 4 victory over
