PREPARE FOR
FINAL BATTLE
Rutgers Game Sacrificed
to Keep Men in Good
Condition

MoRGANToWN, Nov. 21-
West Virginia fans here are won
dering il the sacrifice of Satur-
days game with Rutgers will
prove worth while when the
Mountaineer eleven plays Wash
i~lngton and jefferson College here
on Thanksgiving Day. If Coach
Spears fails to gain West Vlr-
ginia's Objective victory over
the Eresidents-the New Bruins
wick sacrifice will have been made
for nothing and a contest that
could have been a victory will 80
down on the records as a defeat
that could have been avoided.
With all due credit to the big
Scarlet eleven for the wonderful
game 1t played the fact remains
that the Mountainous were not
outplayed, and but for unfortunate
''breaks'' and fumblGs would .lave
won the game by a safe margin.
Both OF the Scarle.'s touch
downs were the result OF costly
errors of commission on the part
of the 'Varsity's second string
men. and it is clearly evident that
if Spears had started his regular
lineup and then injected his sub
tsItutes the result would have been
entirely different. As it was he
had to use his regulars anyhow
and they did not have an oppor-
tunity to rest over the week end.
The number OF first downs made
by each team were even, both the
Scarlet and Mountaineers forcing
the linesmcn to move their poles
nine times. Rutgers made six first
downs Off the scrubs, while the
Mountaineera made eight OF their
nine first downs in the second
half when the regulars were in
the game.
In all Rutgers only gained one
more yard then the Varsity from
running attack. The figures show
that the Scarlet gained 146 yards.
while the Mountaineers advanced
the ball 145 yards.
After reducing the number OF
fumbles in the w. and L. and Wiz.
giula games to a minimum the
Varsity fumbled four times and
recovered but one. Rutgers fumbl-
ed once and failed to recover.
once more the Varsity lost
more than twice rs much ground
as the opposing team because OF
penalties. Penalties cost. the
Mountaineers 12l yards, while
Rutgers lost 81 yards in this man
ner.
The Mountainecrs showed an
improvement in their passing at
tack, completing three out OF seven
attempted forward passes for a
gain OF 81 yards. Rutgers complet-
ed four out Of seven attempted
passes for u gain Of 40 yards.
Today the Varsity starts final
preparations for Thursdays game
with w. and J. on the athletic
field here. The team , returned
from Rutgers yesterday and none
of the men seemed non the worse
off after the long trip. In all
probability today's workout will be
a spirited session while tomorrow's
practice will be nothing more than
a signal drill. The team is in fair.
ly good condition and too much
work will cause them to go stale.
Meanwhile preparations for the
big Homecoming" parade and
celebration are continuing without
a halt. Tho defeat at the hands Of
Rutgers has not caused tho under.

DOG STYLES FOR 1s21- 1922

Dog styles in body design, color scheme, or mechanical features will show few changes for the year ahead. if the National Dog show Is to be re- lied upon.
 Many new models were shown at this years dog show. Popularity ran to the light runabout type of dog such as the Boston and fox terrier and Airedala There was a particular demand for streamline designs as shown in the Russian wolfhounds exhibits.
 There has been a heavy demand for Russian wolfhounds by moving picture vampires that it was feared the supply had been exhausted, but such is not the case. Russia exported more than ever last year. In Russia the vamps dc not work with wolfhounds any more they wear a full military uniform and carry an army rifle
 The Russian wolfhound not only con- tinues popular with the recognized movie actress, but is in great demand by young women who are crazy to be movie actresses, but need some sort o1 dog for protection while going to ths moving picture schools. 1 Many heavier types of dogs wer, shown. There was. for instance, tn, 1 St. Bernard The St. Bernard was II great demand during the period wher every artists first work was a sketcl of St. Bernard dog saving a drown ling child or going up the Alps with keg under its neck.
