If Nothing Goes Wrong All
Will Be Well, Best
Guess Now,
BY LARRY

Writing up advance dope on a
football team or making prtdic
lions on football season is like
eating hamburger steak in a
restaurant-you can't tell what It
is going to do to You until you
get 1t down, and then u is too ate
to do anything but call a doctor.
Sometime the hamburger acts real
nice, and other times It does a
marathon in a tender spot until
you are cock-eyed witt. misery.
But folk still keep Ou eating the
steak and sport writers still keep
handing out the dope, ana nobody
shoots them at sunrise 10 put
them out Of their misery.
or hand and with full know
ledge that dope is fckle, We a:e
out with the statement that the
West Virginia Mountaiueers look
good 10 US at this distance and we
are full OF hopes and aspirations
aawiting complete fruitlUu In, the
games Just ahead.
Making very conservative esti-
mate, we would say that West
Virginia is rs per cent stronger In
general, football ability than last
season. and while we HAYS sort Of
forgotten some OF the details OF
last year. we still recall that II
was a right fair season, despite
the fact that there were several
games on the adverse side OF the
ledger, counting the one with Lee
high which was donated to the
opposition by the officials. who
thought they were at a charity
ball.
DR.. Clarence W. Spears, head
coach Of the Morganville nuskies,
wants a winning team this year.
and he stands a good chance to
have one. He's putting all his
weight into whipping the team
into shape, and the Doctor is NOT
lacking In punchful weight. Doc
tor Spears takes one game at a
time as d usual run, but no doubt
he has a well laid particular plan
for two little games on the sche-
dule, namely the one with Pity at
Forbes Field october IA, and the
one with Wash-Jeff on Turkey
Day. To beat Pitt would be sweet
Papa and then some, while a Vic.
tory Of Wash.Jeff would be quite
a happy ending to the seasons
turmoil.
West Virginia, in our eshma-
ton, has an excellent chance to
give Pop" Warner the raspberry
this season-better than for
years. Spears has some real good
looking stuff at Morgantown,
while the reports from the Pitt
camp are rather minus Of sugges-
tions such as to put the Pitt fans
in a high spirited frame Of mind,
Tom Davies has secured enough
education to help him through
life, and when he was graduated
some think 1t amounted to about
eleven football players, Pop"
Warner has terrible task In
front Of him and no doubt expects
to get walloped by Cincinnati and
Lafayette before meeting West
Virginia, etc
But we are getting ahead Of the
story. West Virginia meets Wes-
leyan here in ten days, with Mar.
tetta following the next week.

Players Lack Fight in Hard
Workout Last Night
at Ball Park.

coach Ice of the Fatrmont High
was somewhat dlspleased with the
showing made by the candidates
during the practice session at
South Side Park last evening.
After the practice he gave the
squad a short lecture. @telllng
them that they lacked the pep
and vim that they had shown in
the first week Of training. He also
gave warning to the candidates
who have the habit Of coming out
to practice whenever they feel
like 1t,
Coach Ice put the lads through
a real workout last> night. Run.
ming passes and punting were the
main topics Tor the backaeld men,
while the linemen we're given
work on tackling the dummy and
then breaking through the line.
This work was hard, and the line
men were somewhat battered up
when Coach Ice called a halt. The
backleld men were put. through
short session on taking out
ends. Their work, however, fail
ed TO come up to what Coach Ice
expected, the backs lacking the
old fight and failing to put class
into their work.
Scrimmage has been put aside
until Friday evening, when Coach
Ice may hold a short one, but up
until that time the team will be
given more Of the fundamental
work. The scrimmages last Fri
day played hob with the Icemen
for they now have several on the
hospital list. This list includes
Parrish, Taylor, Sloan, Mitchie,
Callahan, Burns, Knight, and last
evening another one was added
to the list, when Wright, candl-
date for an end position, sprain-
ed his ankle. This will keep the
former Miller School boy out OF
the practice for the rest OF the
week.
Tonight At 1880 o'clock there
will be u meeting held at the high
school when the boys will be
given a session OF blackboard work
on plays and defense formations.
They will also be given rule
books. This will mean for now
on the boys will get down to real
work. Thursday the team will
get down on plays that are to be
used in the opening game, which
will be on September 80.
Coach Ice has not yet arranged
afgame to talks the place Of the
date left open by the cancellation
OF Buckhannon High, but is work
ing hard to secure good team to
play the locals at South Side
Park on this date, which will be
the same day as the Wesleyan
W. v. U. battle, when the city will
be filled with many out-of.town
football fans.

LEAGUE TO HELP EN-
FORCE LAW

Chicago Evening PosD
Since the saloon is not, it
should be the definite purpose
OF every Christian young man
and young woman to see that it
is not" declared Bishop Thomas
Nicholson, national president OF
the Anti-Saloon League, in a
statement issued to 100000
members OF the Epworth league
OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
THE most stupendous effort
at notification which has been
made in this country is now be-
ing put forth to break down the
good work OF the Eighteenth
Amendment" continued the
bishop. Facts arc distorted,
the waters are muddicd and the
most .specious and adroit APP
peals are made The facts arc
overwhelmingly against the
whisky business and the saloon.
Law enforcement is the first
great work OF the hour. The
sanctity of our constitution and
the preservation OF the laws en-
acted by the overwhelming
vote OF the people are equally
patriotic considerations. The
saving of this and the next gen
Grafton of Our young from the
ravages OF the liquor traffic is
OF the utmost national and in
ternational significance.
Let every Epworth Lacquer
inform himself. then go i'll as he
must if he knows the facts for
the biggest fight we have ever
made against the enemies OF
law and order-the brewers, the
would-be saloonkeepers = and
all these who would break down
the victories for morals, for de-
cency and for temperance which
have been Won at great cost in
the last twenty years.
