world. Sandy is taking In. a lot of
territory in such statement, but 1t
may be so.
Morgantown High will tackle the
local high team tomorrow evening at
the Normal gymnasium. This prom
ises to be very interesting game.
The lads down the river have fast

Saturday night Shepherd college
will be here and the local high team
will play at Fairview. Both con-

Princetonians are hopeful that the
West Virginia football team. of 1920
will not be quite so formidable as the
one of 1919, which simply walloped
the everlasting time out of the Tiger.
Writing in the Princeton Alumni
weekly, Donald Grant has the follow
ing comment to make in regard to the
schedule Of the Tigers and the West
Virginia game:
"The following week the Navy
comes to the Palmer Stadium, under
two-year agreement whereby
Princeton makes the journey to An
napolis in 1921. On October 80 West
Virginia will play at Princeton. 1t is
doubtful whether the Mountaineers

were this year. And l can't exactly

1913. At the same time West Vir-

make any team know that they are
playing football. November Prince

The following sad story out OF
Morgantown concerns an unfortunate
happening in the game between Buck
hannon high and the Morgantown lads
last week, and which may result in
the game being thrown out of the

Simmons was clearly ineligible.
according to the high school Officials
and the fact that he was allowed TO
play was due to a misunderstanding
and circumstances for which NO one
seems culpable. Simmons, IL is said
believed himself to be eligible.
Subsequent investigation has
shown, however, that Simmons should
not have been allowed to play, his
work in two studies not having been
made up. Buckhannon High will be
notified of the error on the part of
local authorities and If they desire,
the game will be eliminated from the
records entirely, or played over"
