CANCELLED GAME
NOTUNEXPECTED
Fairview Meets All Propo-
sails But Buckhannon
Backs Out

FAIRvIEW, March 27.-The bus.
ketball game which Coach Copp OF
the Fairview High School had
practically arranged with the Buck.
harmon team to be staged in Clarks.
burg this week was called of by
Coach Shroyer OF Buckhannou
shortly after a letter had been re-
celyed by Mr.. Copp. stating that
Buckhannon was willing to meet
the Fairview team. The proposal
made by the local management for
the division OF tho spoils was the
60.40 plan. Buckhannon requested
that the winners should take all
proceeds, TO which arrangement
Fairyiew Immediately consented.
Shroyer was then forced to can.
eel the game because OF his high
school having two games, one with
Wesleyan College and one with a
Clarksburg team, scheduled for this
week. While Fairyiew fans were
anxious that a third game be ar.
ranged. yet no bitter disappoint.
ment resulted from the failure to
arrange the game. No one really
expected that Buckhannon, after
winning the championship OF the
state tourney, would consent to
%jeopardIze the honor it had attain.
ed in a game on neutral floor.
TEMPTATION Was the Theme.
The Rev. r. L. Maness. pastor
Of the NJ. E. Church, delivered q
very fine sermon last night in the
auditorium Of the First NJ. e.
Church to a large audience. The
subject OF the discourse was
Temptation" and the text, found
in st. Mark 1870, read: Watch ye.
therefore, and pray that we enter
not into temptation"
The pastor pointed out that
temptation was the test that was
put upo nthe first OF every enter.
prise. Every machine, implement.
or work had to endure a certain
test before being universally used.
Temptation was the test put upon
the young christian. Temptation"
he said. is the spade that opens
orr hearts and discloses what is
In them" Following tho sermon.
one lady v'ss baptized and thirteen
other young people were added to
the church.
