NOV. Wv. q j. At NUI EsTsVUNTT'
Ionxsaa called Little Motrs Dame.

When West Virginia trotS out on the
field at san Diego Christmas afternoon
the Mountaineers will be forced TO face
q team that has been somewhat under
rated by eastern critics. The team is
coached by Charlie Doraie. An-Ameri-
can quarterback with Notre Dame In
1918. Dorais was recognized as one OF
the best pasSers ever turned out by the
Catholics. There Is the whole thing In
a nutshell. West Virginia will be fac
ing a Little Notre Dame and one OF the
most scientific passing attacks in the
country. They will also be facing the
greatest halfback In the northwest In
the person OF Houston Stockton. Here
are some OF the feats Stockton has
turned in during the past season:
Scored a total of 80 points.
Passed successfully for a total OF 1856
yards in seven games.
Kicked nine consecutive goals after
touchdown In a single game out OF nine
attempts.
Doesn't that put an entirely different
light on the matter? 1t Is hoped that
the Spearsmen aren't over confident
when they meet Zonzaga, for these re-
ports that come out of the west are just
sent for that purpose.
