The West Virginia high school foot
ball season gets great shaking up to-
day. when Wheeling. with clear record
both last season and thus far this sea-
son, ties into tho Big Red" team at
Parkersburg. which has thus far estab-
lishcd itself as about the best team In
the state. Both Wheeling and Parkers-
burg have won their games with ease 10
date. and II Is barely possible that the
combat at Parkersburg this afternoon
will turn out TO be the most important
conflict Of the whole Mountain state
season.
In my Judgment. Parkersburg will win
this game. The score Is going to be
fairly close. and Wheeling has about ono
chance in three Of pulling out a victory
but Coach Thomas ut larkersourg l.as
all advantage in seasoned material over
Kelcie Ross at Wheeling. and has maze
a most impressive record In the TWO
games already played. Pete" Barnum'
Murr!n and tho other stars In the big
Red" material stand out az college ma
torial even now. and the team that can
overwhelm Thomas pupils can just
about have tho state title.
Charleston LOOM
Charleston looms up pretty big. too.
with very one-sided victories over St.
Adams and Hinton. both OF which teams
are better than usual. Charleston meets
E!kins, which walloped Cumberland
(MdD high school 40 last week. and
the score Of this game will give us
little more authentic dope" on which
TO figure Germans team. Weimer mas
a good eleven at E!kins. The Manning
tom West Union game Is going to settle
something also. Both these teams
passed the forty mark in their scoring
last week. although against weak oppo-
nrntS. and the one that wins the oecl-
sion Is going 10 rank with Buckhannoa
and CIarksburg for supremacy In the
central part OF the state. AT GRAFTON
Frank Ices Fairmont team has another
hard game. and In all probability this
will h. one OF the closest and most In
tcresting engagements OF the day. hoth
teams have been beaten. however IN
earlier engagements. Fairmont by far-

Weston, and young Edwards Is about
good enough by himself 10 get the dc'

Is due for licking. Ken Shroyer is
going 10 be a factor In the state ttf
this wear. This should be recognized
carly. SIstersrIlle md MnundsTill'

proved, Triadelphia will get waiIop'

in the state will he that between Hun
