Wednesday evening of this week the
fast Bethany college five will tackle
the Normal team, and this promises to
be one OF the fastest battles yet stag
ed locally. The Normal team is fast
getting into shape. and with Pete
Hamilton back IN the lineup should
play great ball from now on. Sandy
Toothman is working hard to get hia
men into the proper stride for the re-
naming games of the season.
Saturday night OF this week whattis
generally conceded to be the big homo
gone OF the season will be staged when
West Virginia university will be seen
on the Normal floor. Comparison OF
scores between the Normal and the
varsity in the Marietta games shows
that the two teams are evenly match-
ed and rare treat is sure to be given
the local fans next Saturday night.
II Clarksburg is reinstated, as Is
expected, Washington Irving High
will play the local high school here ON
Friday evening of this week. II Claflrs.
burg does not play here, Coach, Kahn
is planning TO have the West yir-
GINA freshmen or some equally good
team fill the date. All in all the Sbas-
ketball menu this week is very tempt
ing to say the least.

If you will read the details Of the
game between Fairmont and Buck

reduced to ultra conservative remarks
