COUNTY TO
HAVE teams
Al SPENCER
Big Girls Games are On
Friday and Saturday
Of This Week.

There wiz be a pretty tournament
nt Spencer, West Virginia, Friday and
Saturday Of this week.
That is TO say that the state girls
high school basketball tournament will
be staged there, and all the pretty girl
tossers from every section of the state
viii compete for honors.
This Is the tournament Harry STAINS
bury was asked to referee-but Adam
lost his nerve and we can't think right
off the reel who did get the job.
At least two teams from Marion
county viii be represented in the
games at Spencer. Fairview high
school and Warrington high school.
VIII have teams entered. The Fair
view team starts for Spencer tomor-
row morning via Clarksburg and Park
ersburg, starting from Fairyiew at six
o'clock and getting the seven o'clock
car out OF here for Clarksburg. Man
nington win go via Moundsville on the
early morning train.
The following will make the trip
with the Fairview aggregation: Mary
Stewart, Nerva Shuman, Opal Dodd,
Dorothy Dodd, Louise Gilleland, Mil
bred Sine, Sarah Underwood, Miss
Alice Cook, chaperon, and Coach
Boyer.
The following players will make the
trip from Warrington: Dolly Huey,
Nellie Rodgerson, Olive Rymer, Stella
Agnew, Katherine Hendrickson, Cora
lie Cofenhayer and SFreda Hamilton.
The annual tournament at Spencer
has met with great success and the af-
fair this year promises to be big and
better than ever before. These games
at Spencer are to the fair sex what the
big battles at Buchhannon are to the
boys, and there is just as much spirit
Of rivalry between the contrasting
teams ct Spencer as those who take
part in the battles in Upshur county.
Marion county has not landed a
tournament championship this year,
but Fairyiew or Warrington girls may
yet save the reputation of the county
in basketball way.

Some Local Sport Chatter

After looking over Harry STAINS.
bury's All-State selection today we are
feeling much stronger, in fact we are
so delighted with our progress as to
feel that If Stansbury should ever give
up picking teams for the basketball
guide that we could take his place SO.
far as picking the first team is con-
cerned. Harry agreed with US exact,
ly on our first team selection, except
Harry dragged H. Flanagan off center
and gave him guard position, instead
OF A. Ammons. We selected Bell,
Sims, Hawley and Dorsey same as he
did. Perhaps the reason Harry gave
H. Flanagan the job at one OF the
guards was due to the fact that he felt
he had to do something to show that
guy we had supper with at the New
Valley last week that he could do
something for Buckhannon once in
awhile. This fellow; who did not
know he was talking to Adam STAINS
bury, related that one Harry STAINS.
bury, of Morgantown, never would
give Buckhannon anything in the way
of all-state selections. How about this,
Adam? But speaking Of taking Flana-
gan off center to guard, we think
this is perfectly all right. In the long
run we rather think Flanagan would
make better guard than carter any
how. However, so far as the tourna-
ment was concerned A. Ammons and
Dorsey were the best bets in the guard
line and Stansbury made very seri.
Gus mistake in not putting A. Ammons
on the first team. II you don't believe
this just ask any person in Fairview.
They will tell you we are right in the
matter.
A Clarksburg fan in long story to
the Telegram yesterday means over
the fact that there was not a better
school spirit shown by the Clarksburg
rooters. Clarksburg did not need any
rooters when Victory was playing, the
entire tournament being with them,
while no person was much interested
in looking after Washington Irving's
interests.
A story from Morgantown states
that Coach Stadsvold can handle Var.
sity basketball as long as he desires
at Morgantown. It reads:
There has been much local speculation
and considerable inquiry from the out.
side as to the probability of Coach E.
II. Stadsvold Of the Mountaineer has.
ketban team being retained for 1921.
Director Stansbury speaking for influ-
entail members OF the athletic com.
mittee and for himself set these rn.

there was an absolutely unanimous
conviction on the part of the commit
tee that Stadsvold should be retained

Chess Match at

The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1920-03-17

While winning just bare majority
or his games this season, everyone has
recognized that Stadsvold has had un.
usual problems to handle and that he
has handled them as capably as any
one could have done. He has estab.
lished an entirely new system Of team
playNhere and it is imperative, in the
minds of the authorities here that this
system be carried out by Coach Stads-
void next year and as many years
thereafter as he is available.
Coach Boyer at Fairview is sending
out the signal of distress. He is
scheduled to start to Spencer early
tomorrow morning with about eight or
nine girls who will represent Fairview
in the big girls basketball tournament,
but is trying to figure out some way
OF getting out of the trip. He had an
awful cold this morning when we were
talking to him over the phone and is
of the opinion that 1t is likely his cold
will be too severe to allow him to
make the trip. We told Boyer that IL
his cold really got worse, we would
make the trip for him in the capacity
OF official scorer or press agent, but
would not assume the responsibilities
of Goa III for the team. Wonder what
kind of prizes are awarded at Spencer
silver and gold powder magazines,
we presume, instead of the usual sill
yer and gold basketball prizes. Bet "a
jitney the games will furnish plenty OF
amusement and excitement for the
spectators, at least they will If they
are anything like the game we watch
ed at Clarksburg not long ago be-
tween two teams Of girls. They played
real basketball and could shoot better
than the average fellow.

Every mother knows the symptoms, but the mistake that most mothers make Is in failing to realize that the child Is not fully recovered after the eraSeion and fever disappear. The air passages are still inflamed md if this inflammation is not cleared up, the air passages may be weakened, thus paving the way for pneumonia or serious disease of the lungs.
 Nightly applications of Vick's VapoRub will aid nature in relieving this inflammation. Be- cause Vicks acts locally by stim- ulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough.
