Few Surprises For
Varsity

MoRGANToWN, Sept. 2s.-
Probsbly the most pleasing thing
about the opening football game OF
West Virginia UNIVERSITIES season
Saturday at Fairmont was the fact
TINT although twenty-five different
men were used in the game It could
not be said that any Of the substi-
tutions weakened the team in any
degree, and, in fact, when Red"
Craver, Steve Harrick, Doug
Bowels, Lyall, setron, and their
fellow substitutes were injected into
the contest In the fourth quarter
the attack Of the Mountaineers was
very perceptibly quickened and
strengthened. This, however, was
due in some measure to the fact
that the Wesleyan team was. worn
down, but 1t is very obvious that
the 1921 Mountaineers are better
supplied with reserve material than
any recent team.
But. while his reserve material,
nor Varsity men, for that matter,
cause him no concern so far as his
lime is concerned, Fats" Spears,
the head coach, is woefully distress
ed these days about his backfield.
He don't think 1t has punch"
enough to gain against good teams
and he has been raking the Fresh

ing all sorts OF experiments with his
squad and generally resorttng to

so Is Hawkins and Martin has not

a great drilling this week, and they
should look much better in the

wallop the first guy that mentions
the Pitt game to him before next
week, as he believes in thinking Of
the battle just ahead. This being
the case we would advise that you
refrain from talking Pitt to Spears
at present unless you carry Demp-
