Clarksburg. W. Va. Dec. 1.-One OF
the really fine things that has occurred
along with Washington lrvings most
successful season just closed Is the 1act
that without single exception every
team has left this CITY singing loud the
praises accorded them while here by the
officials OF tho local school. NOT only
have the school officials been comPn-
mented. but the genuine sportsmansnip
shown by the student body and towns
people has brought forth much fsVor-
able comment.
Grafton came and lost 400 but Coach
Cole banl stated that he was well pleased
with the treatment accorded MS team
Elkins was next and they were defeated
$50. but later Coach Winner wrote
Coach Merrclls stating that Il want to
congratulate you on being able to obtain
such competent officials aS those VINO
gest games OF the season. that with
Linsly Institute of Wheeling and al
though they were defeated 2l-O and had
expected TO win. they expressed them-
selves as being well satisfied with the
cordial treatment shown.
Cameron came here with big strong
team fully confident of defeat for the
local eleven. but returned the loser 13-O
Later Mr.. McKelvy. coach and principal
OF the Cameron high. wrote that the
work Of the referee is the best that
have seen in West Virginia"
Perhaps the biggest game OF the year
was the Parkersburg game in which the
locals were Defeated 40, and in their
defeat It was just the same as victory
so far as craftsmanship was concerned.
Mr.. Stewart. principal of the Parkers-
burg High school attended the game and
WIS so we'll pleased with the manage
ment that he wrote to Coach Merrells
Il wish to let you know how much APP
preciate the splendid and courteous
treatment given the ParkerSburg High
school football team while in your city.
The craftsmanship and loyalty Of youc
spectators was above question" He fur
Their stated You are doing good work
in Clarksburg an dare to be congratulate
cd for the success that you have made
in this uphill job"
Washington Irvings oldest rivals,
Fairmont and Buckhannon, were both
highly pleased at the courteous manner
in which they were treated and although
they were defeated they nevertheless
were kind enough to express their graf
ification ON receiving such sportsmanlike
treatment.
All in all ClarksburG is rapidly forg-
ing To the front in an athletic way, and
the day is not far distant when some
Of the biggest high school gridiron bat
ties OF the state Will be staged here. and
also the same may be said OF COLLECT
games, as this is a real football town
and community.

OUR FUTURE OIL SUPPLY.

The inc-eas, Of consumption OF gasoline from

tire automobile. It is possible that we are APP

pleasure car is concerned. but we, probably are

And this IS bur one phase of the oil business

THE BLAMEwoRTHY PEDESTRIAN

The New York police commissioner says that IS
per cent OF all street accidents are due the
lessuess Of the pedestrian. Commenting this.
another authority says that If a measurable degree
Of contributory negligence is meant. rather than
full responsibility the part Of the pedestrian
that figure can be raised 90 per cent.
The tendency in these days is 20 blame the oper
ator of the vehicle involved a street accident
occurs whether it be street car moving on its
appointed track or automobile at large the
thoroughfare So prevalent is this custom that
frequently rank injustice occurs in the award Of
damages TO the injured.
is true that there must be rigid restrictions
governing the operation Of al vehicles Of whatever
type This serves 20 the safety of the public
so far as the vehicles are concerned. But saving
the pedestrian from the street car the motor
car is no more necessary than saving him from
himself
Too many persons in walking throw all the re-
sponsibTty for the avoidance Of accident upon the
the wheel They loiter on the crossing
dash buthey about with no regard for traffic regu-
lations or the rulings Of ordinary common sense
More education along this line would result a
noticeable reduction of the accident percentage.
