BENWooD TEAM UNpEFEATED,
MARTINS FERRY TEAM uN.
SCORED ON AND
UNDEFEATEO.
Record Attendance Expected a. Both
Teams Have Large hosts
Of Followers.

What could be sweeter, more inter.
esting and attractive than to have
two teams, both indicated, one uni
scored on. meet on the grtdtron for
the Amateur Championship OF the
Ohio Valley in the Wheeling district.
Such an occurrence as this is sched.
u'ed for League Park, Martins Ferry.
SUNDAY afternoon at 2:3O O'Clock,
when the Bearcats, OF Benwood, clash
with the Eigilants, Of Martins Ferry.
The crack. Benwood team. last year
tite holders, have gone through the
season indicated. Its victories have
all been impressive and while at
times pressed rather hard to win al.
ways came through the victor. The
Mart MS Ferry teams record is as I'm
pressive II not better than that OF the
Bea! cats. The Vigilants have played
all corners, as have done the Bear.
cats and Of date have kept their goal
line rrcrossed.
Played 90 Tie Last Month.
In a former meeting OF the two
teams at Benwood, the game ended
in a 90 score after four quarters OF
terrific struggling. The play was con.
fined to mid.field with one or two ex.
ceptions and neither team showed
any great strength over its rival.
Rivalry between the two has al.
ways been OF the highest nature
throughout the year and Sundays
game should see this factor come to
a head. Both are wise enough not TO
claim the victory but practice ses-
ions have been scheduled for every
evening and the information that has
leaked out Of both camps both will
present their strongest lineups. TO
avoid the usual comment that comes
when one or both plays ringers" the
teams will use practically the same
'neups that played in the former
former meeting of the two. The play
ers are In the best Of condition, due
to a layoff last Sunday. and all are
ready for the whistle.
LARGE Crowd Expected.
Owing to the fact that both teams
have large hosts OF followers record
turnout is expected. The weather for
the game should be cold and dry, un.
ess snow falls before Sunday. but In
any case a real championship battle
Is assured the fans.
Good Officials Named.
The best officials that can be OBJ
tanned to handle the game have been
selected. Cy Smith. Bethany, Will act
a. referee while Underdonk, has been
Elected as umpire: The headlines
man will be named later IN the week.

WEST VIRGINIA WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO

that i! will be possible to keep the

Presidents Plan Followed.
This plan Is At variance with those

teams that lave visited the west.
Ohio State, Harvard, Pennsylvania
and others OF former years. as well
as Pitt and Penn State this year,
