''TRUSE'' RARITY
FOR WESLEYAN
Big Meeting At College
Field To Cheer Play
ers On

BUCRHANNoN, W. Va, Sept.
.21s-Last night nearly thousand
Wesleyan students and towns
people assembled on College Field
and INDUCED in an old.fashtoned
"thuse" meeting. Speeches were
made by coaches, players. faculty
members and fans. Yells were
.practiced, and a big bonfire turn-
ished light for the occasion. The
Wesleyan delegation at Fairmont
Saturday will furnish plenty OF
noise, at any rate.
The team INDUCED in a stiff
workout today, including light
scrimmage. a couple of new plays
were perfected, and the men were
given practical instruction against
some OF the West Virginia plays.
Special attention has been given
by the coaches toward blocking
the Forward pass, and the coaches
here are sitting pretty" upon re-
ceivlng word OF West Virginia's
forward passing attack 1t Is felt
certain here that Wesleyan will
no. be defeated by the forward.
passing game. Not only has Wes-
leyan been particularly trained to
defend an aerial attack-but we
do a little forward passing our
selves. The team has been thor
oughly coached in all the funda-
mentals OF the game, and every
man is imhued with the Wesleyan
spirit, which has brought US home
victors in many a trying contest.
Hereafter light signal practice and
blackboard drill will constitute the
work OF the squad until after the
big game Saturday. The men are
fit, and the only danger now is
that they may go stale.
The college faculty has declaT.
ed Saturday a holiday, so that all
students will be able to attend the
game. A brass band from Clarks-
burg will furnish music for the
Wesleyan fans, the college band
not yet being ready for a public
appearance.

LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTs

Secretary of State Hughes pro-
ence on ornaments. in session in
Washington for an immediate re-
duction in naval forces and a 10
year naval holiday, has not only
startled the world. but has brought
forth the hearty approval of the
American people. provided. Of course
the plan can be worked out success
fully and with continued assurance
Of national safety.
Immediate heavy reduction in the
fleets of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan to a nominal ba-
sis is proposed. and it is set forth
particular warships that are to be
scrapped, should the proposal be ac-
cepted.
1t is needless to say, cessation or
plans for warfare would remove
from the necks of civilized people
a taxation yoke which is slowly
bering them Gown, with no hope
of relief. SO long as one nation arms
ostensibly against another in mad
race for world supremacy.
The secretary's proposal for a
drastic reduction in ornaments is
most far-reaching. 1t is one of the
greatest Importance, even to the
most isolated colony on the globe.
Should the plan be brought to a
successful conclusion. it will be the
most noteworthy step taken by civil
