MoRGANTowN, Oct. 21.-It is
likely that Carl Beck, who is play
ing his first year on the West Vir-
ginia University eleven, will be the
hardest man on the West Virginia
team for Yale to stop at the Bowl
next Saturday afternoon. This has
been the case in each Of West Vir-
ginIa's four games this year, and
it was also the case throughout
Beck's four years at Harrisburg
(Pa.) Technical High school.
Beck was so highly touted be-
fore he entered West Virginia that
most people thought he was over
rated. In his first game here
against West Virginia Wesleyan
he played a high class game, but
no moro spectacular than the other
West Virginia backs. Against Lee
high he again was just "one of the
boys" But against Pitt he show
ed that all the things that had
been said about him had founda-
ton in fact, because he time and
again stood the Panthers on their

Sport Chatter

It Is too bad it can't be arranged
to stage the Yale-West Virginia
football game about Z o'clock Sat
urday morning so the flock OF foot
ball birds going from here for the
game at New Haven could see the
contest and then slip over in the
afternoon and have a look at the
Harvard-Cen battle, which APP
pears to hold the most interest OF
any game on the menu for Satur-
day. 1t Is the greatest mld-seas0n
game at Cambridge since MtChi-
gan came there in 1914 and was de-
reated 70.
The Harvard Center game may
prove to be another Georgia Tech
Pitt football affair as OF 1918. The
Golden Tornado after blowing all
over the south and rolling up great
scores came to Pittsburgh a favor
lite to knock the Panthers into
cooked hat, but when the game was
over Pitt had annexed 81 points
and the southerns had not made
any. But it may be a different
story i'll the game Saturday be-
tween Harvard and Center. At any
rate, the Kentucky hackers are not
] afraid of their team. They are
even offering odds that Harvard
will be defeated. a bet was made
by Center hacker 1T the Harvard
club recently $500 TO $500 on the
birds from the south, while few
! nuts" are making bets that Nc
Millen, the ace OF the Center aG-
gregation will score more points
than the entire Harvard team.
Center is also offering 81 that the
Kentucky lads will score. II. seems
certain that there will be close to
~, 900 fans in the stands Saturday
to witness the game, and this huge
crowd may have some influence to-
ward a Harvard victory.
Several special trains will carry
the Kentucky rooters to the scene
Of the conflict and the KentuCkians
will do all in their power TO help
the team to a victory. Five com
plete elevens will be taken by the
| Center coaches to Harvard, SO Har-
ward will have busy afternoon II
| they can kill OF that many players
| in one game. And il Center Wins.
Walter Camp wont have to do any
| more worrying about his All-Amer1'
can team. He can just name the
| entire Center team.

When the big team from Detroit

any b ekaeld needs 81 pounds to
the man to equal their opponents,
while their linemen will have TO
borrow 90 pounds each to be on a
par with the opposing line. The
tacltIes from the Christian institu-
ton will weigh 1S2 and 1873

Catholic tackles will weigh ell

When it comes to q matter Of
weight the heaviest man Bethany
boasts Is Randolph, fullback, at
So while Detroit carries on Its
squad q man by the name Of Red
mond who fps the scales at 2S5
pounds.
These comparisons, to the ordin-
any observer, would tend to indi-
cate that Bethany will be over

the football critic this is not the
case. Speed and the amount OF
light and headwork evinced by 4

factors in the outsome OF game,

There is not much hope being e1-
pressed by the Yale hackers that
the Bull Dog can take the measure
of West Virginia on Saturday The
expression down there goes like
this: The Yale team will come
along all right for the big games
with Princeton and Harvard, even
II the team is defeated by West
Virginia" This reminds us OF Il
story they tell on Joe Harrick. AT
the Princeton West Virginia game
last year, West Virginia was trot-
ting of the field between the
halves and a Princeton fan remark
ed loud enough for Joe to hear, III
we don't get TOO many men injured
in this game we will be in good
shape for the BIG game next week. "
Quick as flash Joe replied: Don't
worry, brother, this is the BIG
GES,r game you birds will see this
year"

Illumination Hers.

There was large crowd Of local
football fans out at South Side
last Saturday afternoon to see the
local high school team play Victory
high school, and no doubt there
will be 4 larger crowd out this
week for the Huntington game.
The local lads have been working
hard all week for the contest and
IRE in good shape. Coach Ices
bows have been putting up some
very good football this season, and
the fans who go TO the game Satur.
day will be given IA football trent
worth while. There Is no game at
Morgantown this week, SO there
will be no counter attraction to pun
some OF the fans away from the
high school game. Go out and give
tho local lads a helping hand.
They appreciate your support.

tiguratlve heads, and after many
shorter dashes he topped off the
afternoon with a sprint for sixty
five yards through Warmers entire
team, In the course Of which he
was actually tackled no less than
three times and twice was appar-
entity down only to come out of the
heap with as great speed as before
and continue on to goal. In the
Mountaineers' last game. that
against George Washington here
on Saturday, Beck only played
twenty-four minutes Of the game
and was practically unstoppable
whenever he had the ball. From
running from position and recaiv-
ing passes he negotiated 1T yards.
and though he made but two touch
downs, he was really responsible
directly for all OF the seven count
ers that were made while he was in
the lineup.
If Yale can stop Beck she will
have West Virginia handicapped.
but stopping him is task, as Ell
will find out.

must think well OF Hugo BeZdek as
a football coach. 1t is rumored
that they have signed Hugo to u
contract to coach Penn State for
the next seven years. This Is q

he has done much for Penn State.
Last year he defeated Pitt which
had not been accomplished by a

he has u good chance to turn the

Coolidge To Be
In the Cabinet

Mr.. Harding makes good his cam
paign promise that the vice presi-
dent should have an intimate part in
his administration by formally in
viting, Governor Coolidge to take part
in Cabinet meetings.
IL must be borne in mind, how
ever, that the presence of Calvin
Coolidge at meetings of the Cabinet
does not make him a Cabinet mem
Der. He will be there in an extra
official capacity as Calvin Coolidge,
not as vice president. The latter
is a constitutional office, while the
Cabinet is a creation of Congress.
Mr.. Hardng's offer Of seat at
Cabinet meetings does not change
the organic law of the case. The
vice president in the future will still
belong to the Legislative, not to the
executive, branch Of the govern
cent, although if the practice is con-
tinued there will be a personal rap
proachment between the vice pres
ident and the President, which will
be helpful if the former is obliged
to become President.
In Governor Coolidge the Repub-
lican party chose a man worthy to
be vice president. Although mere
voice at Cabinet meetings without a
portfolio might indeed signify moth
ing to one of lesser ability, Cover
nor Coolidge is the type of man who
is very apt to make his influence
felt. AS Governor of Massachusetts

ROBBERY VICTIM IN
CRITICAL CONDITION
(By Associated Press)

SOUTH BEND. Dec. 30.-Russell
Saline, the hardware merchant who
was shot in battle with bank rob-
bers in Culver, Ind, yesterday. is in
critical condition today. Reports
from the Culver Military academy
hospital, where he is being treated,
are that he cannot recover.
The shot, which entered his jaw and
caused paralysis is said to have been
fired by Earl Willis, of Laporte City,
the only one of the missing hold-up
men. John Beyers, the wounded
robber, is filled with buckshot, and is
suffering severely in the Plymouth
Jail. He will be questioned tonight
Robert Osborn, a distant relative of
William Osborn, the cashier of the
Culver Exchange bank, which was
raided by the robbers, was taken into
custody today and is being examined
regarding the robbery.
