Many Out For
The Mat Game

M~ORGANTOwN. Dec. THE
extraordinary hold that wrestling
has taken on West Virginia Uni
yerslty students Is reflected in the
unusual number OF men who have
come out for this years squad.
Although 1t is yet more than a
month ill the season actually
opens, eighty candidates are out
working for the team. This Is
twice the number that turned out
last year and is almost equal to
the number reporting for DR..
Spears football squad this fall.
When it is realized that there are
probably twenty men on the Var
slty and Freshmen football squads
wHo will como out within the next
two weeks. it can be seen that
wrestling bids fair to excel the
football squad In point Of num-
bers.
Coach Dayton has a quantity Of
veteran material as Captain Scotty
Hough. Joe Harr!ck. Mcdonald.
Steve Harrick. Stickler, Craig.
Turkovich, Lambert and PitEen-
berger. all 1etter-men on last
years team are again out for the
team, and only Grow is lost. The
new material. in addition to being
ample in quantity Is extra nIgn
class in quality and Dayton be-
lieves he can turn out a winner.

HaIfbacks.

My first thought was to place De.
a swine at quarter and use Killinger at
Sone half and McMillin at the other,
In modern football there is only n
very slight difference between the
5iQuarterback and haltback position.
~ That combination would have
: given me a great quarterback in De.
vine. Since Ktllinger had always
played halfback until this year, he
would be perfectly at home. That
would have given mo the greatest
running back OF the year. McMillin,
who Is rated as tho best defensive
quarter, would have supplied me
with a fine defensive back. In add.
ton McMillln is as good on the OF.
fensiye.
only the great work OF Captain
Aldrich OF Yale caused me to shift
~ my plans. Aldrich has been the
4,leadtng halfback Of the east. He IS
IA most remarkable player. md there
Is really no way OF keeping him on
the team. That fact alone causes
me to shift McMillIn TO my second

the west, gets one position while
the other goes to Keck of Princeton.
There are some who are going to
weaken on Keck this year. but not

against Harvard. Against Yale, al
though badly crippled. he was n
star for two periods, when he was
forced to leave the game.

to back It up with equal physical

A Lack of o-ordination

Tere Is a lack of coordination in the various departments and bureaus of government-such lack of 1t as to be ridiculous The best illustra- ton of it is in the position in which cooperative associations of California grape and fruit growers find themselves.
 Formerly at the mercy of the independent pack CTS of fruits who fixed prices and compelled the growers to take them, under the encouragement of the department of agriculture, they formed associ- ations for the handling of their own products the absorption for their own benefit of the profits for mery reaped by the packers those gleaned along the way by hordes of middlemen.
 They were patted on the back by the department and were aided far the department could aid them in copperriveting their associations. All this appeared laudabe to everybody but the middlemen and the private packers who went another depart ment of government about 1.-the department of jus tce- Now the growers find themselves defendants against the charge of violating the Sherman anti trust law.
 We wonder whether in the course of the litiga- tion the department of justice ought not proceed against the department of agriculture as an alder and ebettor of the growers in conspiracy with hold from the private packers and middlemen the spells which they had become used to enjoying.

From Rags Riches" That is the title of play in which Charlie Chaplin took part when he was an English boy twenty years Not long before that the son of actor parents, small, unim portant and poorly paid, he had residence in an English workhouse-what in this country call poorhouse. He had already appeared on the stage at the age of Four years later he was in yorkshire Lads" and then From Rags to Riches" And Chaplin since then has traversed that whole route.
 He came to this country nine years ago all but nenniless Now divested of his ridiculous mustache and shoes he is on his way back home to the scene of his earlier privatons. He is worth millions. He will he readily admitted his native land, because there is no danger that he will again become public rharge.
 Chaplin is not great actor. but he is great worker and the movies gave him opportunity the movies and the peculiar taste of the American neonle who frequented the movies in early day to coin his peculiar gifts into gold.
 Without the movies there would have been no ,cb opportunity and with them there would prob ablv not have been the opportunity anywhere save , America That his pictures afterward were well received in France and England Is traceable to the A E. F. who made him popular wherever they h.nnened to be in great numbers.
 Anyway, Chaplin has gone a long way measured by money.
