DURING SEASON
That's Record at West vir-

MoRGANToWN, Dec AN
other indication OF the opportuni-
ties offered members OF the West
Virginia University squad to play
In major football games was
shown here today when the ath-
letic department in compiling the
seasons records discovered tina!
forty-two men had been used% In
Observation-Disclosures Inter-colle-
gtate games during the season
Just closed. This Is but one more
example Of the great ramificatiUn
Of the Spears system Of coaching
which does not stress Individual
efforts. So-called "gtars" come
very near being a minus quantity
on the Mountalneer squad since
DR.. G. W. Spears seeks to develop
two and three men for each posi-
ton and have them in condition
to play faultlessly whenever call
ed upon. His methods are sound
and he is securing splendid re-
suits.
During the 1929 campaign he
used nine. ends. They were Fred
Graham, Pierre Hill, "Trusty''
Tallman, Bob Hawkins, Vernon
Barnard, George Bone, Clarence
Murrin, Scoops" Carey and
Natus Rhorobaugh. Tackles used
during the season were Capt. Russ
Meredith. Horse" Tough,
Charley Howard, Carl Davis, FeS.
ert, Dilcher, Marsh and Cablish.
Altogether six guards were used,
including Joe Setron-Jim Quinlan,
Red" Mahan, Pat Quarles Dix
on Pinkney and Street Only two
centers, Phil Hill and "Hop''
Fuccy, broke into the lineup dur
ing the year.
In the backfield Coach Spears
had several seasoned veterans but
instead Of working them to
death" he substituted frequently.
This policy made it possible for
seventeen backs to get into tile
game. Those IN this group Include

Special Design
Reg. Plates 1923
For Autos for Hire

Automobile registration plates
with special design will be provided
in Maine in 1923 for cars which are
used for livery or hire. These plates
will be on the same general design
as the dealers plates with the name
of the State, the date, and with per-
pendicular lines at the ends of the
plates. At either end of each plate
there will be the word public" to
distinguish these cars from other
classes of registration.
Commenting upon this change,
Tuesday, Judge +. G. Smith. deputy
secretary of State, said that there
have been a great many requests for
this and that there have been many
complaints because public cars did
not have a special design.
Those who register cars which are
for hire, are obliged to pay double
the ordinary fee, and with these
newly designed plates drivers Of cars
who register them for hire will be
protected from the competition of
persons who might seek to carry
passengers for money without pay
ing the additional registration fee
required.
All of the Maine auto registration
plates for 1923 will have a white
background with blue letters. figures
and lines. One carload of the new
plates are now on the way to Maine.
