IT'S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND

If YOU think you are beaten, you are
If you think that you dare not, you doh l.
If YOU d like to win. but you think you can't,
It's almost ''cinch that you won't
If YOU think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out in the world you find,
Success begins with fellows will,
It's all in the state of mind
Full many race is lost
Ere even step is run,
And many coward fails
Ere even his works begun,
Think big, and your deeds will grow,
Think small, and you'll fall behind,
Think that you can, and you will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed you are
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win prize,
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.

Buckhannon Contests Will

This Year

The West Virginia State High
school basketball tournament held
annually at Buckhannon under tho
auspices Of West Virginia Yves.
leyan College will be conducted
this year on an entirely different
basis than that Of past tourna-
ments. Tho change is Of vital In
terest to every high school In West
Virginia, and believed to be one OF
the most Important steps YET taken
IN handling the annual state ath.
letic classic.
Two weeks ago the board Of ap-
peals OF the West Virginia High
School Athletic Association held q
conference with President Wallace
B. Fleming Of Wesleyan College
and the tournament directors, con-
corning the plans for conducting
tho 1922 tourney.
Heretofore 1t has been expert
enced that teams playing through
the tournament have been forced
to undergo severe physical strain
which has in several cases. i. IS
claimed, been responsible for run
ners up losing N the finals to
teams not necessarily the best
team. However this may be. It Is
a fact that heretofore the tourna.
'ment has been a severe strain on
athletes belonging to teams who
played through to the end OF the
tourney. The athletic Board has
advised that no team be called up
on to play more than two games In
any single day.
To meet this demand 1t has bean
that the entries to the
tournament be cut to thirty two
teams. These teams to be selected
by the leading Is sport writer's.
coaches and athletic directors
throughout the state. Plants have
been made by the tournament al.
rector TO this end.
However Wesleyan authorities
not unmiudful OF the many teams
In tho state who in years gone by
have helped to make the tourney
the success that It is today, felt
that the teams from the smaller
schools should not be thus el:min.
ated. Aftentimes teams represent.
ing smaller high schools como to
the tournament and are unfortun-
'ately matched with teams from
much larger schools, and go down

TO play with teams OF their own
weight and experience. Wesleyan
authorities therefore will entertain
Ga teams instead OF SO. However.
he tournament will be divided In
to Glass A. and Glass B. sections,
The first 80 teams selected will re.
present Glass A teams and will
play for the state championship.
The next 80 teams win compete In

as heretofore in either class.

With the almost universal adop-
ton OF the school-bus begins a long
period Of restfulness for the coun-
try truant officer whose duty is to

Rainy days, long distances, and
muddy roads no longer make the
district school look like a deserted

Used now by more than 10000
consolidated schools, tho school
bus system is.a simple and prac-
teal one. Every morning the bus,
with driver provided by the school
drives up before each farm house
where there are children OF school
age. Tho sound Of the horn Is the
signal for tho children to come
rushing out Of the house, and they
are on their way to school. Stormy
