WEST VIRGINIANS ARE MAKING GREAT RECORD ON GRIDIRON | Spears Is Victorious As Mentor Great Backfield Plays Havoc With Crack East- ern Elevens BY BILLY EVANS NIVERSITY OF WEST ‘VIR- GINIA, unbeaten on the grid: itoh fh 1922, has every prospect of going thru another season with @ clean record, The one big fame of the year on the West Virginit schedule remains to be played with Washington and Jefferson on Thanksgiving day. ‘The dope strongly favors West Virginia to win, West Virginit and Washington and Jefferson aro bitter rivals, If either team lost every game on the sched: Ulé, Oily fo emerge the victor In the Turkey day battle, all woula - for gotten. Tho rivalry betweei PFince ton, Harvard and Yule has nothing on the West Virginia and W, and J. situation, In only one gamo so far thit son. son has Weat Virginit met a worthy foe, In the game with Penn state the best Weat Virginit could get was a 18-to-18 tie, a couple of costly fumbles playing havoc with thelr hopes of victory. Since Penn State beat the Navy, 21 to 3, it is an casy matter to get a line of the caliber of West Virginia this year, The dope doesn’t always run true to form on the gritiron, but the fol- lowing figures make West Virginia & strong favorite over Washington and Jefferson and point to another Whdefeated year, Lafayette held W.| And J. to a 6-to-6 tie.

Much of the success of West Vir- Binia, coached by t" Spears, for. mer Dartmouth stat, centers in his veteran backfield.

Poor Show | of Middies | Disappoints Tournament of Roses Not So Keen About Naval *: Academy Eleven } | BY HENRY L, FARRELL | NJ2wW YORK, Nov, 15-—-Disap- pointed at the rather poor show ing of the navy team in the East this fall, the tournament of Roses committee would rather have an other Eastern team for the annual New Year's pést-season game at Pasadena, it has been learned from 4 reliable source, The Navy has been officially in vited and has accepted, however, and only a proposition from this end can call off the navy trip with diplomac: One Navy officer sald that there could be no doubt now that the California cornmittee might prefer Janother team for the post-season game as it is always desirable to 7 have two unbeaten teams in the game, but that the Navy hardly would favor any suggestions to ease the midshipmen out of the game. Arrangements have not only been: completed at Annapolis for the trip, but the Navy family on the Pacific coast has been all worked up over the visit of the team, Last week the tournament of Roses, it was understood, wanted Notre Ddme in preference to the Navy but Nebraska's defeat of the Indiana team removed it a8 @ championship outfit. Syracuse, it is learned, is now in favor on the coast and even if the Pasadena officials go thru with the Navy game it is very likely that Syracuse may be Invited to Play In one of the other postseason games suggested on the coast.
