Clarksburg. w. Va, Nov. 24.-The
final step in the history Of the football
season for the Washington Irving high
gridders will be taken tomorrow when
they meet the speedy team from Buck

the big game of the state. the Wesleyan
Marietta College game. The curtain
raiser will start at l:45, the college
classic TO start immediately after the
completion of the high school fray. or
about o'clock.
The Buckhannon team. although COM
posed OF some real stars in high school
circles. has been meeting with some
reverses Of late. dropping games TO New
Martinsville. Fatrmont and their last
start to Wheeling. Accordr to COM
parative scores Washington Irving Is
much better than the three above men,
toned teams. and should enter the con-
test much the favorite. However, this
is not thought to figure in the ultimate
outcome OF the contest, in so Tar as the
Buckhannon team has been pointed oil
season for this one contest. and the" are
coming out OF the Gpihur countyseat
fully determined and confident Of vic
tory.
washington irving Has Good Record
On the other hand. the local eleven
has dropped but one . me. that to Park

on the efficiency Of the team. while they
have been able TO be returned the VIC
tory in seven Of their starts At pres
ent most OF the injured --'ayNrs have
apparently recovered. and II Is hoped
that the old gold and blue will be able
to use their full strength throughout the
entire game.
One advantage which the visitors will
have and that Is that they have been
given a long rest not being scheduled
for last Saturday. and also playing a
much lighter schedule throughout the
entire season.

nothing for Hogg to do but try to get

Chase leaped up to spear it. lost his

The ball bounded on past him and
Hogg apparently had a clear path to
the base. Apparently is the right
word. All that stood between first
base and Hogg was Ross Young. How
he ever got there will always remain
a mystery, even to those familiar with
his remarkable speed. Anyway. he
was there. and, scoopinE the ball out
of the dust, he hurled himself at
Hogg. Now, down in Texas Young
was college foot ball star. and he
made a diving tackle in the direction
of Hogg. The two came together
with great force. but Young held the
ball and got the decision. Beat that

and then, somehow. manages to race
