Duel Between HOusen

The second Oldest rivalry in the

be resumed here Thanksgiving Day
when Wherefore university meets
West Virginia State college at Uni
yersity of Detroit Stadium
This rivalry was begun back in
1910, and has continued through
the years with few exceptions. The
two teams played here in 1884 and
again last year, West Virginia
winning last Thanksgiving Day.
Hard To Pick

It would be hare 10 pick a winner
as both have lost two and won FIVE
However, West Virginia holds a
victory over Kentucky State,
team that whitewashed Wilber-
force, 800.
West Virginia's defeat OF Ken
lucky State was one of the big up
sets Of the past week end. Il was
on the unerring and accurate pass
ing Of Jack Housen, Yellowjacket
Quarterback, that enabled West
Virginia to come from behind in the
last period to snatch the victory
from the Thorobreds who had
rolled up six consecutive wins be-
fore the game.
Housen, l9-year-old junior
from Huntington, W. Va, has been

this season, and indications point

In addition, the Yellowjackets

Coach Adolph Putnam Hamblin
Is celebrating his 10th year as head
mentor at West Virginia State col

the celebration.
The hopes OF V'iiberforce will
center around Qualls, Ebbs, Crowell
and Barnes, four good backs who
have done most of the scoring for
Wherefore this year. As usual the
Bulldogs will rely on the passing
and kicking of Qualls whose punt

keeping West Virginia from rolling
up a larger score last year.
The passing OF the Bulldogs is
