/ he IS reasonably sure Of his posi-
ton and II any other candidate
beats him ont tor the fnllback job
he win have to show real class. In
case Of INJURIES TO HUI or q sub
stituti6n, Bowers viii likely get the
assignment.
AT ends Pierre Hill and Bob Haw-
kins, both Of Fairmont, seem TO be
the faYoSites. Hawkins has looked
good to Spears from the very start,
and inasmuch as Hill has been
working with Hawkins at every
practice this week, It Is almost sure
that the two Fairmont boys will
start the game at the end positions
saturday, Gerred, Of Charleston,
and Graham, of Morgantown, are
the other pair Of ends which has
been substituting for Hill and Haw-
kins at all recent practices. Both
men especially Gerred are working
hard for regular place on the
team and ara practically sure OF
getting into the game Saturday.
/ At the guard positions there will
he Captain Kay and either Clark or
Setron. Setron has been out Of the
Iline-up for the past several days
with q bad shoulder. II It is heSled
sufficiently by Saturday, Setron
will probably get the assignment,
otherwise the position will be filled
by Clarke. Both men are about on
par and 1t makes little difference
which of the men gets the assign
ment.
Meredith will likely start at one
of the tackle positions and either
Harrick. Dilcher or Howard at the
other. Harrick has a bad ankle and
unless 1t heels he will be held out
OF the game. Whether Howard or
Dilcher will get the assignment Is
one Of the uncertainties not subject
to. even a good guess. Dilcher had
the preference one week ago but in
recent practices Howard has been
getting first selection.
Phil Hill seems certain to start
at the center position although
"Trusty" Tallman has been show
ing class and will probably substi-
tute for Hill some time during the
game.
The university Cadet band con-
sisting Of sixty pieces Is all ready
for the game. Several practices
have been held in the last few days
at which many of the old favorites
have been rehearsed. The band
will go to Fairmont with the stu
dent body on the noon train and
upon arrival In Fairmont will march
with the students to South Side
park, the scene of the contest. The
band will be on the same train as
the football team so there is no
danger Of the game starting before
the cadet band arrives, as was the
case at the annual game last year.
The university students will be
seated together on one side OF the
field and will be led in their cheers
by Chuck Robert and "Clif" Colts.
It Is estimated that fully 1900 OF
the university students will be IN
Fafrmont tomorrow for the game.
The final thuse at MergantoWn
before the game will be held on the
athletic field this afternoon at .
o'clock, at which time Coach Spears
and others will be called upon TO
talk to the students.
Secret practice was held again
Yesterday afternoon, but the SEES
sion was one Of the shortest Of the
week. Most Of the time was spent
in calling signals with special en-
phasls on the forward pass OF vari.
Gus varieties, returning punts and
open field running. Another prac-
tice will be held this afternoon, the
final practice before the Saturday

Hills, those West Virginia Hills
next Saturday. Phil, Pierre and
George will all be there.
With four OF the eleven men on
the West Virginia team, Falrmontt
can be Justly proud Of her athletic
showing. The record is 100 per
! cent, only four Fairmont boys are
out for the team and 1t now looks
like they will all start the game.
