of Philadelphia boxing fans, not
only because OF his dazzling per-

fearlessness. confidence and refusal
to bubble at trifles. As a matter
of fact. Tommy is more like the

WESLEYAN TO GET EARLY
HOP IN GRID WORKOUTS

BUCKHANNON, w. Va, Aug. %.
1T was decided today by athletic
officials at West Virginia Wesleyan
College that the football training
camp scheduled to open September
I, as previously announced. would
open two days earlier, on August
30. II has been known for some
time that head coach Higgins de.
sired an early date as possible for
the opening Of camp because Of the
gigantic task which confronts him
In building up a team for the first
game which comes with West Vir-
ginia University on September 80.
The change in the opening date Is
made possible for the reason that
improvements on the Wesleyan
gymnssium which have been going
forward for several weeks have been
completed ahead of time. This
change will give the Methodist add
ed time that is OF greatest import.
ance during the training season.
Coach Higgins has requested
Athletic Director Miller to notify
all candidates for the Methodist
eleven by letter, insisting that they
report to the camp on time. The
first meal will be served at the
camp training table at o'clock
August 80. Quarters will be assign
ed to men the same evening and
new equipmest will be issued early
the next morning, so that the first
practice session can start at 10 a. m.
the same day.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Aug
22.-Howard Raub, captain of the
Rutgers College football team,
planned for trip half way around
the globe during this summer vaca-
ton as purser's clerk, or some
thing Of the sort. on ocean liners.
That Is, he planned It until Coach
George Foster Sanford planted him
on the scales one day IN June and
gasped TO find Raub tipping the
beam around 240 pounds. Sanford's
orders were short. but to the point.
Take off some OF that II you want
to play football" he is quoted as
saying. .fs
Here's how Captain Raub has
been doing it: During Juno he
shoveled coal as a fireman In a big
rubber, plant here: during July he
worked for the city OF New Bruins
wick, mending roads and paving
streets. a pick and shovel being
part Of his tools, and this month
he is singing around bags of coal
and merchandise on a d. a r..

suit of Mrs. Cecile r. Oyster. widow
of his brother, George NJ. oyster, jr..
in which he is named as co-defendant
with Edwin c. Brandenburg. executor
and trutee under the will. Mrs. Oyster
seeks to set aside an agreement be-

Brawner. jr., by which Mr.. Brawner
is now sole owner of the Chestnut
Farms Dairy, and to have the adj
ministration of her husbands estate
transferred from the Probate Court
to the equity division.
Commissioner Oyster says he knows
nothing of the domestic relations of
his brother and his wife. nor whether
they had any agreement concerning
his property. In relation to the dairy
business partnership, Mr.. Oyster
states he was not aware of any
partnership contract before the death
of his brother. but he knows that Mr..
Brawner had. for many years. been
a competent. faithful and trusted
