Hello, NealeI
Greasy NeaIe says his team
lost to West Virginia for two reas-
ons:
l. His best men were crippled
before the game started.
2. There was not a weak spot
in the West Virginia team. The
Spears system was too strong.
On reorganization Neale boiled
down the cause OF the defeat to:
II didn't have the men,"
Neale declares that the student
body has been loyal to him and the
team all season. He blames all his
troubles on Dave Morrow and HIS
clique. He Is bitter against Nor.
row, and declares this particular
faction stays at home and starts
malicious ,rumors that have no
foundation.
81 had to so out and beat Beth
any to show that fellow Morrow
up" says Neale. THAT game meant
everything to me as l wanted to
show him who was the best coach
'Neale praised-t the Spears sys-
tom, but Lafayette's seemed to
carry u little more weight. Neale
says the Pitt offensive was the
strongest his team met this year.
Down in my heart l have some
sympathy for Neale:, This time last
year he was hailed as the wonder
coach Of the world. Now he is Just
run OF mine, because a wonderful
team suffered three defeats In a
row, two of them by teams more
wonderful at their best than
Wash.Jeft. The Detroit game was
Just a mishap.
1t is hard for Neale. to face the
new. condition Of affairs.
All of which brings me to the
point, where j can say that at the
start OF the 1921 campaign at
West Virginia, / declared Spears
would prove himself one OF the
greatest coaches II. the country In
victory or defeat. Two campaigns
have been fought since that time
4 haYe no reason to change my
opinion. II someone doesn't want
to start a riot, better hustle that
announcement that Spears has
been signed up for next season at
West Virginia: and the birds in
charge will do we'll to make It a
long time contract IL they can.

WASHINGTON, D. every much
unheard of before" one of the glacier
experts of the geological survey said
specifically when shown reports and
photographs Of the grasshopper glac-
Ter which lies just outside of the
northeast corner of Yellowstone Ma
tional park.
However, the glacier is there for
anyone to see, officials of the national
park service said. Embedded in its
ice there are thousands of grasshop-
pers of an extinct species, which must
have been fying over the mountains
in living clouds when they were
caught in snowstorms and killed, later
to be preserved for countless years in
solid ice.
The glacier lies at the head of Rose
bud river, is comparable to any OF
the big glaciers of the Rockies, the
park service asserted. 1t is safe

view from the glacier is described as
