Wheeling.

Coach Stobbs had his Gold and Blue
SQUAD out yesterday after rest or
three days and drove them hard fop
close TO three hours In many Of the
hardest training diversions. Tho boys
we're kept busy on the sawdust man
and later spent all hour running oacA
punts and tackling the quarterback.
The squad Is in fair conditio" at the
present time and II S though scrim-
mage will be started about Thursday.
The hardest problem facing Stobbs
Is the development of his backfield
Moyes, Thomas. Heiner a nd several
other Of last years squad arc back bus
the aggregation lacks GOOD forward
passer and punter. Brinkman and Mott
the premier ends are both good at
this but II Is though Stohbs would
like to cope with the proposition with
ont breaking UP his ends. One solu-
ton for the problem Is the calling OF
one OF the ends back when the team
Is no the offensive. The followers o.
tho team are watching with interest
the outcome Of this obstruction but
their faith in the Gold and Blue men
tor Is supreme and Wheeling should
open their schedule with u win on
Sept 20 when the meet Follansbee'
Tr1adslphis.
Coaches Hill and McCluskey of Trla-
delphia High School are still working
with their boys and are hopeful or
placing Of fast lightweight team on the
field that will be able to cope with the
valleys best. The team was run
through a strenuous workout yesterday
and Is shaping up into HEfs system IN
fine style. There merry battle for
positions gong on at the out-the-piks
school and followers Of the squad are
looking forward with interest to the
final selection Of the first team men.
