The second team donned the while Jerseys today and used the Marshall defense against a new offense (hat Coach Jackson to use Saturday. The flrst le'am kept tho ball most of the afternoon, but the second stringers carried the ball the boy who played position had a.tough evening. Zontlnl is rated as the best ball can far that has represented Marshall in 'several years, Peters and TaU, Emory's best ball carriers, were kept out of the rough work, today.

Tho others who will be missing are Paul Gasklll and Fred Souk who did return to school and Red Hal- Vert and Dan Rardin, who are not out ff" football this year.

JIakiiig up the remainder of the that will likely make the to are several promising freshmen stars.

A. STANSBCUI W. Oct. The most spectacular feature of high school football last week was the manner in which Parkersburg disposed of Oak Hill, by no means a set-up for any team In the state. The game furnished convlnclve evidence that the "Big Reds" arc out for the 1931 honors with little chanc.e of being stopped on the way.

Three other teams went down with the crash of last week, including St. Albans, and Bridgeport. All other undefeated teams held to their pace, and the finishing touches now remain in the hands of Parkersburg. Benwood, Moundsvllle, Blueneld. Point Pleasant, East Bank, Elkins, Welch and Pennsboro.

Four of these teams are involved in Important, clashes tbis week, when Benwood and Mounda- vllle definitely establish the leader tor the Ohio Valley, while "Welch will attempt to stop the Bluefleld Beavers in their rush of victories. Fairmont, Charleston, Williamson, East Bank and others, some undefeated, some tied, or defeated only once, are teams that will make or break some of the present leaders ere the close of the seeson, and are running along in championship form. While East Bank gains a respite of an Idle week, following a victory over Hlntou, tho best games week bring together Blueneld at Welch; Elkins at Shlnnston; Fairmont at Morgantown; Pennsboro at Moundivllle; Parkersburg at Brie, Point pleasant at Spencer; Oak Hill at Bsckley; Moundsvllle at Benwood; Charleston at Wheeling; Victory at Weston; Follanshae at Welrtpn: Wayne at Huntlnglon; Martinsburg at Hagerstown; and Xew Martinsville at Trladelphla. When the smoke clears after this set of contests, there will bo plenty ot things for high school fans to talk about for the week-end.

N'ew York, Oct. 28, the second time in four years, a member of the former world champion Philadelphia Athletics has been adjudged the American league's most valuable player. Robert Moaes Grove, sometimes called the greatest southpaw pitcher in history, receives the distinction for 1931, just as his battery mate, Mickey Cochrane, was chosen In 1928. The slender lefthander with the blazing fast ball is the second pitcher to be called "most valuable" In tho 14 years the awards, official and unofficial, have been made.

Walter Johnson, "big train" of the Washington Senators, received the distinction twice, in 1913 and 1924. It was just a breeze for Grove when a committee of eight members of the Baseball Writers' association cast their ballots. The Athletic ace, who set an aH-tlme record by winning 31 games and losing only 4 during the past season, received 78 points out of a possible 80. His closest rival was Lou Gehrig, slugging ffret baseman of the New Yflrk Yankees, who received 69 poffits. Gehrig won the award in 1827.

Al Simmons of the Athletics, bat- tiuir leader of the American league, finished third with 51 points; Earl Averill, Cleveland outfielder, was fourth with 43, and Babe Ruth, who received the award in 1923, placed fifth with 40.

Oct. Inspired by two consecutive victories over Fairmont and Morphead, Coach "Gibby" Morrlu Hnrvcy col- lego gridders will face a real test Saturday afternoon, October 31. when they meet the undefeated Bluefield college eleven nt Lafdley field, Charleston. The game was originally scheduled to he played Friday night, but the date was changed to avoid a conflict with the coriventlon of the S. K.

A. The Golden Eagles, who have won three of their five games to date, will enter Saturday's game as the underdone because of the victorious record run up by the Ramblln' Reds this fieason. However, the Methodleta seem to be getting stronger each week so their followers are predicting that Bluefleld's winning streak will come to an end Saturday afternoon. Coach Welch seems to have hla winning combination working well In Carl Sams, at quarter; Tom Holsteln, Hurricane, at left half; "Cotton" Welch, Parkersburg, at right half; and Kenneth Vaught. Elizabeth, at full.

This quartet of backs is entirely freshman. They carried the Eaulea to a 19-0 victory over Morehtad Frl- and will probably bo In the starting line-up Saturday afternoon. Injuries have kept Coach from using his entire strength In tlio line but tJiero is a great pas- fliWlity ol the entire crou of crlpplos being In condition for Saturday's game. aiorrte Harvey aliimrrl In Charleston and surrounding territory ure planning to make the Charleston game a "home-coming" game and promise the football followers of this district something novel In the manner In which they intend to fiupport their alma mater's football team. The Golden Eagles are expected to have 100 percent support from the student body.

Many of the prominent state 'educators who" will be In Charleston for the S. E. A. convention nrc going to he gueets of Morris Harvey's football squad at the game. Governor Conlcy hns been tendered an Invitation to be one of the honored guests and all-in-all a gala day is on tap for (he fans.

THE PRESS Box ITH, another game definitely scheduled between Army and Navy. second charity game between the two service schools in two years. It would seem the way might be paved for a renewal of regular seasonal relations between the Cadets of Point and the Midshipmen of Annapolis. The post season games are better than none, but the climax of the season for each Institution should be the game that for years held much of the color of the autumn sport. The colleges of the country have responded with enthusiasm to the suggestion that as many possible play a for unemployment relief.

This is as it should be, for more money can bo, raised In a series of far flung football games than through any other endeavor for the same amount of time and expense. Many colleges have grown rich athletically from football, and It fair enough to have them set aside one game In which they will not reap the benefit. Many of the unemployed now. were good football when they had it. A series of properly arranged football gamee, dropped in the right spots in all sections of the United States will attract customers who will pay several million dollars.

It would seem, too, that for this cause a few of the rules against poet-season games and other restrictions standing in Iho way of some of the more attractive prospects might be disposed of with ruthless cutting of red tape. No college or university can laugh off hungry pe9ple, -and it football games will relieve distress the football games should be played. With whole hearted enthusiasm a number representative colleges have answered "here" In response to the call for volunteers. Others should follow. The opportunity to play euch games really la a privilege.

It gives the colleges a chance to answer the oft repeated charge of overemphasis of football. This IB one time when there cannot be too much' emphasis. enough to remain In the National league. Followers of AA baseball say Shires' neldlng improved in 1931. They declare he is now a much more competent defensive player than he wae when he' was la the American league.

EW FONSECA should do well as tho manager of the Sox if he gets his share of the breaks. The colorful Portuguese is well liked by bis fellow plaj'ers, and he can hit with the best of the White Sox. It is helpful to be able to show one's players how It should be done Instead of telling them. And If tho other managers will enter a singing ccnteat with Fonseca for the games, the White Sox will win thorn all. SCHOLASTIC GHID SCORES Aldersan Mount Hcpe 24.
