Fraternity Teams
Will Play Soon

MoRGANToWN, Feb. 5.-The ten
teams in West Virginia University's
Inter fraternity basketball league will
get under way the coming week, Wed
nesday night, February 18th. being the
inaugural date. Two games will be
played this evening, the Kappa Alpha's
meeting the Sigma CHS and the Sig
ma Phi Epsilon's meeting the Phil
Kappa Psi.
The league this year is arranged on
a different basis than heretofore, there
being, in reality two leagues OF five
teams each. A winner is determined
in each league by having each team
in that league play every other team
at least once, and then the winners
of the "pennant' in each of the leag-
ues meet in a three game series to
determine the champion.
For the winner the Athletic Com
mittee of the University offers a
handsome silver cup which becomes
the permanent property OF the frat
ernity winning it twice. The Kappa
Alpha fraternity won a leg on the
cup last year and along with the
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phil Sigma Kappa
and Sigma NUS are considered a
beading contender again this year.
There is unusual interest among the
students in the frat games and big
houses are expected at all the con-
tests.

tailly wouldn't entertain any idea OF
letting the crack infielder go.
Hickey contended that Hornsby be-
longed with the Cards-that they
would be foolish to let such a man go.
But other baseball men do not agree
with Hickey. Some Of the best heads
in the game declare they would let
Hornsby go If they could get several
good players in exchange for him.
The Yankees got Ruth and the
Giants have to do something to make
themselves solid with the fans of New
York. Hornsby Is the man they want.
Ruth is without doubt the greatest
drawing card in the game today. He
will draw more fans through the turn
stiles than Ty Cobb or Walter johnson
ever attracted. But Hornsby isn't
such flashy player despite the fact
he is a wonderful fielding star and a
corking good hitter.

NORMAL TEAM
TAKES BATTLE
FROMBETHANY
Locals Forced to Play Great
Ball to Land the Con-
test

After the Normal lads had apparent
ly put last nights game with Bethany
safely in the Normars refrigerator.
the visitors snesked the game out of
the ice and put 1t back In the Bethany
frying pan. and 1t was only by some
great work by jimmie knight and
Longfellow shuman that the Normal
finally snatched the game out of tho.
fire just before the final whistle
sounded, the finai count being s2-zs.
Only a small crowd attended the.
game, the weather, the "flu" and other
things cons.-rng TO keep the people
away-but those who did brave tho
elements TO see the contest witnessed
one OF the closest, most interesting ana
most exciting games staged hero this
season.
Pete Hamilton was in his glory last
night at one Of the guards, ranting and
snorting and banging away all through
the game. 1t was Tough and Hamil-
ton who kept the Bethany lads from
making more field baskets during their
sensational rally late in the game.
Sensational shots were many,
Knight getting several long shots from
difficult angles, Mike Hamilton chased

hard luck lately on his shots, cagei

corker and broke the lead which Beth
any maintained for just a minute or
two during the second half of the con-
test.
Roark was the best shooter for the
visitors, getting five field baskets.
while Osborne shot eight out of IL
fouls. Rezzonico and Hughes played
at guards for the visitors and did great
work in the second period.
when the first half ended 1t did not
seem that the local lads would have
much trouble in landing the game. the
score being 1911 when the halfway
mark was reached. However. tlie

the Best, Fairview on
Tuesday.

Basketball fans of this city have a
chance to see. some great contests be-
tween now and the middle of next
week, and II any kind of favorable
weather prevails the Normal gym
nasium should be crowded for these
events. Tomorrow night the Fair
mont High school team will take a
shot at the West Virginia Freshies In
what promises to be one OF the snap
piest little tits of the season. The
next night Harry Stanbury's we'll
known basketball five from the State
University at Morgantown will en-
deavor to put II over on Sandy Tooth
mans Normal squad. This will be
some fight all the way-you can bet
on that, Next Tuesday night Fair
view High school and Fairmont High
school will meet in the second scrap
of the season. The first game was
staged at Fairyiew and resulted in an
overwhelming defeat for the locals.
Kahn's men will be out for revenge
next Tuesday, and expect to get it.
With such menu as this the fans
should, certainly be well pleased. The
game Saturday night between the
Varsity and Normal will likely draw
the greatest crowd of the season.
Both teams will be on edge for the
contest and the game will be worth
going miles to see. According to all

his team in shape for the game with
the Freshies and also with the Fair

Friday night the Freshies will tackle
Fairyiew on Saturday night. Accord
ing to reports from Fairview, there
will be q great host of rooters come
from that own for the game here
next Tuesday night. 1t is likely that
one or two special traction cars will
be run in order to take care of the
fans who want to see the game.

Some Local Sport Chatter

Among the missionary work for
which Harry Stnnsbury came to Fair
mont yesterday was to scout the Nor
NAL game last night to see just what
the Varsity will be up against Satur-
day evening. Harry thinks the Var.
sity has a good chance OF getting
beat-but then Harry gets so accus-
toned to putting the Varsity down as
being right certain to defeat, that he
simply does 1t off hand. However,
We hope he is right in this case. and
that the Morgantown bunch gets an
awful trimming Saturday evening.
