ator Kenyon, leader of the farm bloc
in the senate, asking him about the
services of Senator Kellogg in the SEN

for the farmers.

LINCOLN VS.. WEST VIR-
GINA C. |. OCTOBER II.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. a.
What is expected to be one of the
classics of the season will be when
the far famed, eleven of Lincoln
University clashes with the foot ball
squad of West Virginia Collegiate
Institute here on october 81
Both teams are being ably trained
by seasoned coaches this year. AL
though the loss of Coach Shelborune
at Lincoln is being keenly felt. How
ever, the keystone lads are rounding
into fine form and it is expected
that they will give the Institute
boys the hardest game they have
ever had.
In the football world the Lincoln
Institute game is important frr sew
eral reasons. In the first plac no
tea may be considered of chain
pic nship calibre unless it succeeds
in holding its own against West
Virginia. On more than one unless
it succeeds N holding its own
against West Virginia. On more tina
one occasion, the teams to which
the championship has been con-
ceeded have been the only ones
even to tie the West Virginians.
Then again, since this game must
bring forth the best efforts of both
teams, it is certain that Wilberforce
University, who is on the schedule
of both teams later in the season,
Howard University and others will
have their scouts on hand to get
line on the power of the contenr
ders.

of alumni and supporters of both

Charleston instead Of at Institute
1t is know that the Lincoln alumni
who are numerous in various parts
of this state, contemplate attend
ing the game in body. Supporters
Of both teams, whatever the outcome
are confident that is will be a
classic.

wealthy Colored oil man in Tulsa,
Okla, is also after a franchise in
any of the likely cities that may
affiliate with the league.
Owing to agreements already in
vogue in many of the cities where
clubs do not own parks, club Of
ficials say, 1t is impossible to have
playing schedule like the big
leagues. However a plan is to be
tried out which, 1t is hoped, will
prove satisfactory to all the follow
ers of the game in which a certain
number of games between clubs will
count in the league race, all over
this amount to go down on record
as exhibition games.
The meeting in December will be
watched with interest. Many clubs
owing to the poor showing made
during the season just closed will
add new players and 1t is rumored
that many of the so called stars on
some of the four leading clubs of
the 1922 pennant race will be found
missing when the call is issued for
spring practice.
