Keeps Men Quiet
MORGANTOWN, Oct. IS. - Eos
: Ater Sanford, Rutgers College foot
oNall coach, is taking no chances OF
1aying his young men who will
wear the Scarlet here against Yves
Virginia Saturday, losing sight o.
the fact that the main purpose o
the visit to the Mountains OF Yves
Virginia is to beat Fats" Spears
Mountaineer football team.
With this In mind the old Talt
' football player has arranged for hi'
eleven to spend the night at Fair
mont on Friday, getting into the
excited atmosphere Of Morgantowr
lust before lunch on Saturday. an;
having q quiet workout at old Soutl
Side Park on Friday.
~ There are many here who believe
that IL this policy had been follow
ed In connection with the recen
visit OF the Mountaineers L
Charleston, the results might have
been better. In any event SANFORD
seems to think It is wise to keel
his team away from the fraternit:
houses, and the other Distraction
II University student life on Fri
day night. and then. too, he want
no Mountainer players and coaches
peering at his practice rehearsal.
The sale Of tickets for the Rut
y gers conflict begins here this after
noon. One OF the largest crowd!
that ever assembled TO watch tn,
dountaIneers perform at home vii

home appearance after the epoch
breaking Pitt victory. It will mari
q chance to "gct even for the III
defeat administered BY Rutgers {
year ago; Rutgers victory over lie
high by 14.7 score marks the visl
tors as great team. Bethany,
victory by a large score over Rut
gers gives an opportunity for com
Z parison between the Mouutaineerl
