Special Dispatch 10 The Intelligencer.
MorEantown. Sept 2s.-lt Is II good
thing that FIT Spears does have a
second strinG" OF football men that
apparently plays with about the same
proficiency as the regular lineup. other
wise the outlook Tor saturday would be
blue indeed when cincinnati university
Is met here. cincinnati comes with
crack veteran team. sporting three men
who made the all-OhIo last year and
who carried Cincinnati up to tho very
top notch Of Buckeye football They
will be hard to beat even II Spears Was
able TO put his best foot forward.
But Homer Martin. tulloack. was
called homo Monday night by tho illness
OF his father. and may not he able 7"
Eet back for Saturdays battle: JACK
Simon, halfhack. - suffering with IN
juries to his shoulder received at camp
and aggravated IN the Wesleyan game
Ia such an extent that he has not even
run sisoals all this week; Bob Ha"-
kins end. suffered a practical dtsi"ca-
ton Of his arm against Wesleyan. ana
did not even appear IN UNIFORM uh'i
Thursday: Pierre Hin, the other end
dislocated a cartilage IN his knee IN
warming UP on Tuesday. and Joe Har-
rick has not Yet been able 10 get INTO
the scrimmageS.
II is absolutely certain that Simon and
Hawkins cannot play. while the playing
Of Martin. Pierre Hill and Joe Harrick
Il altogether problemattcal even at THIS
late date.
Stsvs XArr4ek osts IN
Steve HarrIck. whose dash!ns runs
OF tackle and through the line when h"
was substituted IN the Wesleyan game
opened the eyes ~ fans who had seen
him play only medtoCr" ball on tho
freshman team last yea-. will no doubt
get Simon'S place at halfbacS Saturday.
Fred Graham. the former MOrgantown
high and Indiana normal end, will just
as certainly be used at Bob Hawkins
end, though there Is possibility OF
Clem Kiger getting tn" call for this
post. Graham and Steve Harr'ck are
two men who have rrotited 10 an un-
usual extent by Spears coaching. and
have already reached heights OF ability
that their friends did not believe they
could attain.
Bowers for Mar5r-
II Homer Martins does not get back.
Spears will likely use Doug Bowers at
his post. and If Pierre Hill Is unable 20
play. kiEer and Graham Will pair OF
n the end. charles Howard. the Wheel
Ing high youth. continues to put up
great battle for the Left tackle position.
and there Is some question aS to
whether Joe Harrick would be In there
displacing Howard even II he was in
first class physical shape. The battle
between Talln,an and Sctron at guard
and between NarddcCi and Crarer at
quarterback continues 10 rage. and Il
is 4 tosS-up as to who will start IN these
positions against Cincinnati.
Ltghtsst Team IN Many YsArA
an fli nA al uh1rh
Wesleyan last Saturday averaged only
lie pounds in weight. and was one Of
tho highest West Virginia teams In
many years. However. another weight
record will be broken Saturday when. IL
Spears sends to the field the team
patched up as above indicated. il VIII
average only l66 pounds. or positively
the highest outnt that has represented
the Old Gold and Rlus for n:re years
back Spears has SOME bigger men than
those whom ~ expects {" send against
cincinnati hut these have not shown
the "th-r qualifications ~ speed a"d
diving power which Spears requires,
consequently they are relegat"d.
