1t now seems likely that Warner

ion on last Saturday, will go to
Clarksburg this Saturday to meet
the strong Washington Irving High
School eleven, while the crippled
but fighting East Side bunch will
+! go to Morgantown the same day to
meet the Morgantown High School
team, an eleven which held Weston
to a low score last Saturday. Sandy
Toothmari and his Normal team
will play Ward Lanham's w. v. u.
green cappers at South Side Park
Friday afternoon. At the present
/ writing, the odds are against the
Icemen and the Gamagers in their
games this week, with Toothman
reckoned q $3.50 chance to beat
practice drills this week may

ton before game time. Local fans
will regret that Gene Hill Of the
East Side team will be out of the
game for the season on account Of
the injury suffered on Saturday.
He Is an unlucky fellow at football,
being out. of most of last season
with a like injury-a broken col.

MoRGANToWN, oct. TO-
When Washington & Lee and
West Virginia University get TO.
Gether at football at Charleston on
Saturday, October 81, all OF South
ern West Virginia apparently
wishes to be in the stands. This
football game Is a social event az
+, we'll as q grid combat Of no small
proportions. Mountaineer fans III
Southern West Virginia find It diff
flcult to get to Morgantown AMI
few Of them wish to miss the big
Charleston game. In fact nearly
every man who has any interest
whatever in college football ap.
parently wants to get a seat near
the 80 yard line" son this day
The result Is that Director II. a
Stansbury Of West Virginia Uni.
versity and "DickH Smith, grad,..
ate manager, at Washington !.
Lee. have a problem on thelt
hands.
In the first place the W. v. u.
Club Of Charleston wants $50
seats; the Charleston w. v..u.
"Rooters Club" wants $50 seats;
mail orders received from alumni
In towns outside OF Charleston to-
tai 700 seats; the Washington 4
Lee alumni want a total OF coo
seats; a. convention Of prominent
business people meeting in Char.
lesion at tho time wants 125 sedts,
a single manufacturing firm local.
ed in Charleston with customers
all through Southern West Wiz.
ginia wants 500 seats for its pa
irons; a prominent state ofticill
has applied for 200 seats to sell in
the capitol; and Montgomery,
Beckiey. Huntington, Hinton and
. dozen other towns have asked
for blocks OF seats ranging from
26 to 400. Director Stansbury
stated today that practically every
available seat had already been
applied for with the sale not
scheduled to open till Saturday,
The main difficulty is that all
these orders cali for tickets right
h the center OF the field and IL
is a physical impossibility OF
course, to satisfy, all the demands.
II has been decided to wait till all,
orders are in and then give every
order its proper share Of the best
seats.
