Martinsburg can account for her
position on top of the Blue Ridge
heap through the fact that she has
been the only one OF three /1ders
this month to win more games. than
they have lost. The Mountafneers
have won nine games and lost five
during August. The Frederick
Hustlers have Jared worse than any
other team, with the exception Of
the Terriers. The 1921 Champions
have dropped ten out of thefr last
fifteen games. The best Waynes-
boro could cd in their fourteen
games this month is to snlit even.

large college and university in the
county supports wrestling teams and
since / It's not below their dignity"
to engage in the sport the boards
only reason for doing away with the
mat game is obviously without pre-

real reasons for abolishing the
sport they certainly should come
forward and make them public and
not bring the University into dis

The big leagues are having one of
the tightest fights in the history of
baseball-hut not a bit tighter than
the Blue Ridge League pennant race.
Today the pitching choice of Man

With the announcement last week
that wrestling had been dropped
from the list of intercollegiate
sports at West Virginia the Uniyer
sity authorities exploded what may
be well-termed "a bomb-shell." Com
ing as a compete surprise to even
those in close touch with the situa
ton heer the news was so uneX
pccted that the storm of protest
which would naturally accompany
such an announcement WAC over
looked in the excitement. But it is
sure to come and when the student
body returns here next month il the
board of control and board of edu-
cation has not roeonsiderd by that
time the undergraduates are certain
to take hand in the matter. 1t
goes without saying that wrestling
is one of the most popular sports on
the Mountaineer program and the
students are not going to have it
struck off the list of aports because
it is below the dignity Of the Uni
Versity to engage in the sport" The
students viii demand more of an eX-
PLANTATION and cannot be expected to
swallow the dignity" stuff. Unless
the boards reconsider soon there arc
lively times ahead in University
sport circles.
The foolish part Of the abolshinE
of the mat sport is the weak reason
given by the boards for their ac-
ton. If there is any sport that is
more "dignihed' than collegiate
wrestling it has never been discov-
cred. As carried on by colleges

The Villagers are dead set on the
+pennant this year To do so they
must keep plugging ahead at bet
ter than $3.50 rate. Country Morris
has strengthened his club for the
dash down the home stretch with
the addition of Dixon,a pitcher. Mar
tinsburg has 81 more games to play.
Should they win II and lose 10 OF
these they would still force the Vii
layers, with % more games. to win
II and lose but 5. At their present
rate of speed, it isn't likely the Bluo
Sox will fail so far as to do less
than break even in 81 games. The
Villagers are four and one-half
games behind the league leaders.
