HIGGINS WILL
STRUGGLE ALONG
WITH MATERIAL
But Yankee Leader Will
Not Have Very Hard
Time.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Maneger
Miller Higgins of the Yankees has
seemingly abandoned all hopes Of
engineering trade that would give
him seasoned centre-fielder of dem.
onstrated ability to succeed Ping
Bodie. Failing to win Hap Felsch from
Chicago, he has apparently made up
his mind to stagger along as best as
he can with the outfieiding talent al.
ready at his disposal. The wisdom
or the folly-of this course cannot yet
be determined.
There is certainly no lack of avail.

post-such as they are. Including
"Chick" Fewster-who is, however,
more likely to be seen at third-there
are five more or less distinguished
contenders for the post, not to men

Higgins is frankly banking heavily
on big Bob Meusel, the cloutlng be-

and as strongly as this robust lad /.
All reports agree that he is the finest
prospect of the year and many com.
petent judges have declared that he is
already. ripe for picking. Cactus
Cravath, the Philly leader, predicts
that he will come close, mighty close
to rivalling the mighty Ruth himself
as slugger.

VILE
PLAY AGAINST
STATE OUTFIT
Famous Star Will be in Var
sity Lineup Against
State College.

MoRGANToWN, Feb. rs. - West
Virginia's chances for victory against
the powerful Pennsylvania State Col
lege basketball team here on Friday
night Of this week went up about forty
per cent. today when it was authorita.
lively announced that Homer Martin
would play the right forward position
for the Mountaineers.
Martin, It will be recalled, played as
freshman on the 1913 West Virginia
basketball team. He led the five in
scoring from the field and in addition
had high average as foul shot. His
great work resulted in his being elect.
ed captain Of the 1920 team although
he was but first year man. Al
Christmas time, however, Martin, for
some reason that has never been sat
isfactorially explained withdrew from
the University and returned to his
home at Charleston, taking position
with the county road engineer. Soon
after leaving the university he chang
ed his mind and announced that he
would return with the beginning OF
the new semester. This he did and
had 1t not been for the fact that he
had been in school but few days and
had had no opportunity to establish a
class standing, he would have been
taken on the eastern trip.
1t seems certain that Martin will
play in the remaining games of the
schedule. He worked out with the
freshmen squad while the Varsity was
in the east and Tuesday was with the
Varsity for the first time. He, only
made ABOUT twenty-five baskets in the
fifteen minute scrimmage session that
was held and continued his wonderful
work in yesterdays workout. He is
even better in his work around the
scoring zone than last year.
Martin, of course, is the real miss.
| ing link" in the Mountaineers' floor
! team He can shoot from any posi-.
ton and from any distance and under
the greatest handicaps, and that sort
of player is ell that the West Virginia
has needed TO make it one of the most
formidable in the country,
Martins presence in the lineup
greatly strengthens the Mouptaineers'
chances against Penn State. A victory
which had seemed well nigh impossi
BILE now appears entirely probable
though 1t is certain that Penn State
Rill not be defeated without. terrific
struggle.
Friday nights game will begin
promptly at 1880 so that fans from
Fairmont, Clarksburg and other towns
in that direction may return home the
same evening. Dan Daugherty, for
mer Wash-Jeff star athlete who han
died the Pitt game here last month
will be in charge.
The three hundred tickets available
for spectators, outside the student
body, will be placed on sale at Reiner
/ & Cores Friday afternoon at 1880 p
m. and it is expected that all these
will be snapped up in short order. Nc
game ever played in Morgantown has
excited the interest the State encoun
ter has because everyone here realizes
that the State team has the class and
the feeling is also general that Coach
Stadsvold's men have reached the
peak OF their strength. The addition
of Martin to the Mountaineer Lineup
will be further attraction that can
not be resisted.
