coming from the middle of the

So the big man of the big SER

down his hat and hastily put on
a bunch Of grogans.
The sight that greeted his eyes
was disturbing. One man, strip
ped to the waist, was trying to
push another man, similarly at
tired, right through to China.
For a minute Mr.. Hoover watched.

Bobcats Have
Another
Battles
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor


Mr.. L. Morgan, of
til Q Interstate Com
m cree Commission
Morgans, is pointing
with pride again.
The last time Mr.. Morgan
put the finger on a real swell
football player was along in
1881, when he singled out one
Cliff Battles, then finishing up
q brilliant career at West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan, and recon-
mended him herewith as a
backfield star worthy of all
America consideration.
Turning Back Clock
Like an elephant, Mr.. Morgan
doesn't forget.
Thus his reminder which comes
couched in very confident terms !:
"YOu will recall some four or
five years ago, in picking your
All-America Eleven, l gave you
some interesting dope on Cliff
Battles Of West Virginia Wes-
leyan. You will further recall
that you were the only sports
writer who placed him on any
all-America team. Well, you
know the reSuIts-he Is, and has
been for some time, the outStand-
ing player in professional foot
ball.
'cNow here is another tip, for
your All-America-GeOrge Mike,
tackle, Of this same West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan. This boy has
one more year at Wesleyan, and
then watch him when he gets
with the professionals. OF course,
the small colleges do not get
very much recognition, but it is
my opinion that George Mike Of
West Virginia Wesleyan is one
of the best In the game. Don't
overlook him In selecting your
AllAmerica. You made no mis-
take on Battles and you can
make no mistake by selecting
Mike"
One More Year
Well, Mr.. Morgan, thank you
indeed. While I am picking no
all,America team this year I assure
you I have observed the many
complimentary remarks passed
with regards to Mike, Just as I
have clocked his work in his sew
eral appearances against Wash
ington colleges. I know of at
least one pro team which has
secuted him.
He is a great tackle; no doubt
about that, and in his final year
at West Virginia Wesleyan may
get even broader recognition than
he has to date.
I understand the Wesleyans are
w pay OOG44 SCOASC w WooAA4A4SON ONAA
and c. U. next season, in which
case Mike will have plenty Of local
focus, you may be assured.
Well I recall your 1881 tip-off as
to Cliff Battles and equally well
recall some "sniffling" on the part
Of many not acquainted with his
work. With the Boston Redskins
who may. soon become the Wash
ington Senators, Battles has been
q brilliant and steady player.
Comes Into His OWn
Your reminder of the Battles
incident comes at an appropriate
moment. in view Of the fact that
last Sunday he contributed a "a
yard run against the New York
Giants to assist in the IA to 0

Raleigh, Dec. 22-The excessive

"The kind of rains we have had for
the past two weeks, especially in the
eastern part of the State, are the
worst in the world for any kind of
roads, especially dirt roads" Waynick
said. For these were slow, steady
rains that soaked down deep into the
subsoil. Of Course, all of the county
roads have been muddy and there
have been many hundreds of miles
of county roads which we have not
yet been able to improve which were
very muddy and slippery.
However, there has been one en-

engineers out in the field. That is
that the hundreds of miles which we
