Virginia, and possibly the Army, are
the ones who will be out to knock
off the former champions. No doubt
the toughest job Of the year falls to
Herb McCracken, the Lafayette
mentor, who has lost an entire team
and more. McCracken has exactly
one man who has smelled the smoke
of q college foot ball game. 1t Is
well, perhaps, that he has this Wood
I'm, for he is a powerful line plunger
and a punter Of 'repute. McCrack-
ems Job is no easy one, therefore,
for the aluminus of the Easton col
lege, not unlike almost every other
college who has o a reputation to
uphold, demands q winner OF their
coach.
"How far will Lou Young get without
his Paul Scull and Johnny Schobel OF
Cornell without its Shoals or Ander-
son, or Temple without Barney Gugle
or Carnegie Tech without Howard
Harpster, or Yale without Eddy or Hall
or the hundred other schools without
their quota Of star backs, ends and
linemen?
"Taking these losses into considera.
ton, it looks black for the consistent
winners Of the last season. It looks
like the good name of foot ball will
run true to form with its brother
sports in dethronipg its champions Of

kickoff. Five plays later, Bartrug re-
covered tumble for West Virginia and
the home collegianS were the big part
of the show from that time.

the first quarter, but in the second quar-
ter a big parade was started by Bart
rug, Maddox and Larue, mountain
stalwarts, that took them n yards to
the 3-yard line, where q pass was
knocked down by Wesleyan back.
Rodriguez. veteran Wesleyan fullback,
forced to kick from behind his own goal
line, got of good punt to Larue, who
was downed on the Wesleyan 42-yard
line. Bartrug finally went OF left tackle
for the first touchdown after smashing
line attack. Capt. Glenn made the extra
point.
The second half was inaugurated with
West Virginia marching 70 yards to a
touchdown, also by Bartrug. Capt.
Glenn missed the try for point.
Capt. Glenn added the final points
to the Mountaineer tally with but three
minutes to 20 in the final period.

T EXINGTCN Va, September III
Virginia Military Institute opened
its foot ball season today by de-
- feating Hampden-Sidney, 19 to o.
The Cadets, with IL veterans
In the starting lineup, always held the
Tigers in check and did not allow them
to threaten until the final period.
The veteran line Of the Cadets opened
holes through which Hawkins, McCray,
Dunn, Biggs, Holtzclaw and other
backs knitted through time and again.
Dunn carried over a touchdown in each
of the first and second quarters. A
partially blocked punt paved the way
for the opening score and the next
came after v. Grow had recovered a
tumble.
In the third period the Tiger de-
Tense frightened and Holtzclaw was
twice stopped within the 5-yard line.
His third attempt was more success
full and he toted the ball across early
in the final period.
The Cadets gained Is first downs to
two for Hampden-Sidney.
The Tigers presented a stout team
that battled fiercely, but they were no
match for the precision of the Cadets.
A tricky triple pass gained 40 yards
when twice used in the final quarter,
but the visitors rally was stopped when
Gill intercepted forward pass.
Cadet substitutes played most of the
game and Coach Raftery used 26 of
his men during the afternoon.

will win every game, since that fashion
has gone out Of date for some time,
except in few rare instances. You

are headed for a new world series,
far in front of the pack. The trouble
with any foot bali rankings is the
