 Thinner ranks of those who served in the Civil war, but new ranks of veterans who saw service in the World war again pointed to the solemn fact that time Is fleeting and that the years bring many changes. Even the veterans of the l World war were charged with the sad duty of decorating the last resting places of some of their comrades in a war that has been closed for less than four years.

Duquesne Nine First
on Varsity Schedule

MoRGANTOWN, March lin
less than one month West Virginia
fans will have an opportunity to
watch Coach Ira E. Rodgers
,Mountaineer nine in action
against collegiate rival. This
became known this morning when
University athletic authorities an
nounced that tho opening dates on
the Varsity schedule, Friday and
Saturday, April 7th aud 9Th. had
been taken by Duquesne unlyer-
sity, OF Pittsburgh.
Director stansbury had been
dickering with several strong
teams in an effort to schedule
games for the opening engage
ments and selected Duquesne In
preference to several other mines
that had expressed willingness
to open the season here.
Duquesne has not appeared on a
Mountaineer schedule In any
branch of sport for i've or six
seasons. In former years the
t'itsburgh outfit clashed regularly
with the locals but of late compel.
ition has been at a standstill. Du-
quesne recently took an extensive
athletic program and they are de-
veloping some strong teams. They
were very strong in both football
and basketball and are beginning
to branch out in the sport world.
Now that the date of the open
ing game has been set interest In
the diamond sport will take some
definite form. Coach Rodgers will
arrive here next week to take
charge OF the situation, although
the first workout will not be held
until about March 20. This gives
the Varsity mentor a little more
than two weeks In which to pre-
pare for the initial struggle and
because Of the dearth Of veteran
material on hand 1t will BE ample
time. ar
The Duquesne nine is mystery
so far as the Mountaineers are
concerned. While nothing is
known here of their strength and
prospects a local fan feels certain
that the Smoky City institution
will send a very strong team here
to battle with the Varsity.
