No Practice Yesterday.

football activities yesterday, but
will begin practice today for the
engagement against Fairmont,
November "a. Attempting to
make the trip, from Fairview to
st. Marys and return on the same
day lost for the team any claim
for state championship. Rising
at 4 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing, leaving Fairview and driving
until 2 O'Clock in the Afternoon
before reaching st. Mary's, the
team that met st. Marys was only
a skeleton in comparison with
the one that met Monongah High
here two weeks ago. Cronin was
out Of the game and although the
team did It's best. the opposing
team had little difficulty In get
ting away with a 81 to 6 score.
The referees knowledge OF tho
game was said to be very limit
ed and proved advantageous to
the st. Marys team. The boys
are not discouraged, but will prac-
tice with a determination that
will likely show results when
Fairmont High is met later in the
season.
