tonight BY Rocco J German. coach or

that there will be no poSt-SeaS"n game
between Wheeling and Charleston high

their kind offers of the use OF their
athletic fields to stage the proposed
pOSt-Season game.
There should be no doubt but that
Charleston rightfully has won the cham

said. "WhrclinG has played only about
six West Virginia high schools. and its
schedule carries thirteen games II
Wheeling will play Huntington, Park

rlrvens Charleston has met. We will
then talk business relative to post
season game. Her schedule was COM
posed mostly of out-of-state schools.
and she should have no claim 10 the
right to play or the tie with us.
Charleston high has not Yet been mp
preached by Wheeling athletic authort-
tics with n proposal to play "oSt :

ha arranged. I doubt if Wheeling would
consent to play on neutral field with
neutral officials. and under conditions
which would make ii necessary for the
eligibility Of her players to be passed
upon.
