The opening Of college has meant
the discontinuance OF the morning

evening is given over to chalk work
about the blackboard.
Practically all scrimmage work

keep all members OF the squad on
the injured list until after the game
Saturday. The two days OF practice
will be devoted entirely TO signal
practice, to punting. and to passing
the ball.
The squad members are not the
only ones who are determined TO
"Wash-JefT." Regular pen meetings
are being held by the student body
in preparation for the game. Stu.
dent enthusiasm has rarely been at

make the Journey in machines.
Among the men who will be
watched closely next week are two
old Bethany favorites Roark. and
Smith. These two huskies are CON
ceded by many football authorities
OF this district to be the two best
terminal men In the state. And
one could not 90 far wrong IN pre-
dieting that these two will play a
very important role in next Satur
days contest.
Roark came to Bethany wo.years
ago from Alta Vista, Virginia, ant
since that time has shown himself
to be thorough all-around athlete,
Not only has he been an important
cog in the Bethany gridiTour ma
chine hut he has shown equal prov.
ess in baseball, basketball. tennis
and track as well.
Roark was one OF the two Beth
any men to make places on Harry
Stansburys all West Virginia elev
en-. Roark looks better this season
and Bethany fans are expecting bis
things from the Yirginian.
Smith came To Bethany from
Bowling Green, Ohio. and was one
of Bethany's star performers at the
end position last year. He: also
played on the Bison's championship
baseball team this spring. Smith
is IN perfect physical trim after the
long siege OF preseason training
and from all indications will be
very much in the game at Washing

The Haunted Castle

There was once a haunted
castle that no one had been in for
one hundred and twenty years.
There was man that had once
been knight. He had displeased
the king and all his honors had
been taken away from him.
He thought he would do some
thing for the king that would make
him known and would also become
a knight again.
He planned what he should do.
He was going to make a great ad-
venture. He thought that he would
go to the haunted castle.
The night came for him to go.
He started about o'clock He went
very fast on his horse so that he
would arrive at IL o'clock as that
was when the ghost could be seen.

Americans until the uproar started
to take on a rather serious aspect.
The French commandant stepped
out on the balcony overlooking the
street and told them that the
Americans could not understand
their language so well and were
consequently unable to know just
what to do for them, and would
they kindly withdraw in order not
to embarrass their guests of the
day.

However, the crowd insisted that
we make our appearance on the
balcony which l was not at all
