to a 10 score at Charleston so
there is really more than a valley
tito at stake when Warrington
meets Elkins. Particularly Is this
true since the defeat Of the
Wheeling team last Saturday by
Clarksburg.
Everything from now on will be
pointed TO the Elkins conflict, and
while the Belington game may
prove q stumbling block in the
way Of Warrington 1t is not
thought they will be able to win.
Warrington was considerably
battered up in the game with Vic
tory and was not able to put her
strongest team on the field against
East Side, but with two weeks yet
remaining before Elkins Is met
these cripples will have a chance
to round into shape and be able to
put forth their best efforts against
E;lkins.
