MAY YOU, FELLOW MOUNTAINEER, HOLD THIS VOLUME SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF OUR ALMA MATER— WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY. H. J. SIMMONS JR., Editor-in-Chief E. GAUJOT BIAS. Business Manager ' Dcdlcatioa 3 TO HON. E. G. SMITH Honorable Edward Grandison Smith MONTICOLA Judge E. G. Smith Judge Smith is a native of West Virginia and of old Harri- son County stock — a true mountaineer. Today, he is recognized as one of the ablest members of the Clarksburg Bar, who, for over thirty years has devoted himself exclusively to the practice of law at Clarksburg and furthering the interests of his Alma Mater, West Virginia University. Judge Smith was born on Horse Run, Harrison County, April 8, 1868. He was reared on his father ' s farm and attended the public schools of West Milford. In later years he came to West Virginia University and received his LL.B. degree in 1889 and in 1892, he received the same degree from Washington and Lee University, which institution he represented in the Southern Intercollegiate Contest in Oratory in 1892 at Vander- bilt University, winning the medal. He was admitted to the bar in 1892 and entered into practice at Clarksburg. MONTICOLA During his many years of practice, lie lias won several high honors at the bar, taking part in some of the most important cases of litigation coming before the Harrison County bar. His offices, located at Clarksburg are among the best equipped in the country for law, work that has taken years to complete. In 1912, Judge Smith was put forward as his party ' s choice for the office of judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals, hereby, starting his honorable and famed term of public life. There is no alumnus of our University who has more reverence and de- votion for this institution than Judge Smith. He is a man of vision in the interests of our University, this being shown by his election to presidency of the West Virginia University Alumni Association for three consecutive years and, upon the creation of the Board of Governors in 1927, Judge Smith was elected president by its members. To meet him, is to meet a true Mountaineer, the kind that has made our University a great educational institution for the sons of West ' irginia.

For the University we were just so much grist for the mill; for the upper- classmen, forgetful of their own turbulent University birth, we were so many persons to be neglected or admired; for the fraternities we were a certain number of targets for paddles. Holt Woodell, President of the student body, addressed us at our first gathering and extended his best and most sincere wishes to us, the new students, and expressed the hope that each one of i with success in the environment of the University life. We were ap- ed to as individuals, to work together in a common cause, for a common end, in making West Virginia a bigger and better University. We were instructed to jump to the fore, put our shoulders together and push onward for the greater honor and glory of the University. There was a cordiality of welcome evidenced by practically the entire student body and we realized that the opening of the school year meant a revival of the true Mountaineer spirit. After struggling through the bewildering maze of registration, the burden of first assignments, the strange environment, and the dubious aspects of a new existence, the Freshmen Class was formally organized on October 5th, and officers were chosen to lead the plebes. Paul Vannoy, Morgantown, was elected as Freshman Cheerleader at the thuse held previous to the West Virginia-Carnegie Tech game. In the annual push-ball contest between the F ' reshmen and Sophomores, the plebes were awarded a decisive victory by the Fi Baters who sponsored the engagement. Our athletic teams have been unusually successful and with the inHux of members of this year ' s Little Mountaineers into the varsity camp next September, competition of high calibre for the various berths is assured. Scholastically, we have made great strides. George L. Johnson distinguished himself by leading the Honor Roll, not only of the Freshmen Class but of the whole University for the first semester of the current year with an average of 96.18, carrying 16 semester hours of work. Virginia Stannard and Kathcrine Hinkle brought recognition to the ass by winning first and seventh awards respectively in the national contest sponsored by the 4 H Clubs of America. All in all we have passed through a chaotic year. Many eventful and strange things have occured to br. ' .nd it as an outstanding one in in which we have played but a small part. Our year has been comparatively free from pugil stic encounters with upperclassmen, although the vigilance committee, that august body of enforcement, has at intervals, shown idst, the value of restrictions and the rules that have been placed upon us. Their methods of enforcement which have resulted in H few shaven pates, an occasional sign on the back, and a bit of mid- night chastisement, have had a wonderful psychological effect upon the entire class. It is with sincere humility that we realize our inferiority to the classes which have gone ahead and we regard them with the highest respect. !ve that we possess the power of great accomplishment and and our aim is toward this end. With determination, k ve look forward to our Sopho nness of purpose, and hopeful anticipation, year in West Virginia University.

On the 27th of December. 1901. he enlisted in the army, serving in thf Philipine Insurrection and several years in the states. He was com missioned a First Lt, on Sept. 22. 1917 and served in the World War following his commission. He was later detailed to the War Prison Bar racks at Fort McPherson where he served for several years.

The tour was conducted for the threefold purpose of creating a bene- ficial spirit within the State; acquainting their audiences with the State University: and to speak generally on higher education. With relation to the University, the U ambassadors explained the three phases of student life: the scholastic, the social, and the extra-curricular. Because the State University bears the same relation to State high schools as the high school bears to thei rmunicipal grade schools and be- cause there are hundreds of seniors in high schools wanting to know more about college as Commencement time drew near, Mountaineer Week was set aside for the enhancement of the leaders of tomorrow. The affair was sponsored by F. Roy Yoke, alumni secretary. George W. Jackson, captain of the good will speakers , the student council, and by the University Authorities. The latter two bodies shared the expenses of the program. Mountaineer Week is the most successful medium ever attempted by the University to pave the transition from high school to college and in upbuilding a pride in the state, many believe Instead of following last year ' s custom of apportioning three teams of three men each to visit the schools, the representatives went singly and in this way were able to visit more schools less expensively, and more effiicacious ' y. Because last year ' s tour encompassed only the larger high schools, the brunt of the speaking was done in the smaller high school? this year. Liberal co-operation on the part of the principals of the insti- tutions greatly assisted in the movement. Special assemblies were called in the majority of cases and following these conferences were held with a number of the graduating seniors. The period was distinctively not intended as an agency to urge students to attend the University nor was it utilized as a boost for the University. It was simply an attempt to describe the center of the State ' s educational system to those high school students who some day expect to matriculate at a college or University. A multiplicity of favorable comments and appreciatory letters have followed in the wake of the tour, according to Mr. Roy Yoke. The results of the two tours strongly indicate that Mountaineer Week will be made a regular annual event. The men chosen represented every phase of college activity including: three athletes, two former presidents of the interfraternity council, the the president of the Student Body, an editorial writer for the Law Quarterly, a prominent club man and the president of the General Engineering Society. r jT Qi ONTICOLA .i Sponsor ROY YOKE Manager GEORGE JACKSON Publicity Manager W.

This was the eighth consecutive victory for the Mountaineers in eight consecutive years, since the resumption of football activities betv een the two schools m 1920, before a holiday crowd of nearly 10,000 people and a hot sun that made the footing on Mountaineer Field the best for an opening game since the stadium was completed. The victory was decisive, the Mountaineers scoring two touchdowns in the second quarter and one each in the two final periods. Wesleyan earned a touchdown scored by Rodriquez, in the final quarter by a bril- liant and well earned march of thirty-two yards, which showed the latent power in the machine groomed by the Ross brothers. Coach Roger s team functioned well in all departments, with the exception of forward passing, although the lone one completed by Hardy was good for fifteen yeards and the third touchdown made by West Virginia A. Glenn scored for the Mountaineers first in the second period, by a beautiful dash, after a double pass from Ryan, and a 32-yard run goalwards. Hardy netted the second score after line plunging had brought the ball within the scoring zone. Garrett made the third marker, and Larue scored the final touchdown after a forty yard march in the final period. The Mountaineers made eleven first downs to six for Wesleyan, and held the upper hand throughout the game. McClung ' s forward pass- ing attack featured the play of the Wesleyan team, although Bachet and Rodriquez bore the brunt of the line plunging. For West Virginia, Hardy ' s steady work at line plunging through the first three periods featured the Mountaineers attack, with occasional dashes by Ryan and Glenn. Marshall Glenn backed up the line in great -Hlyle in his varsity debut, and intercepted a forward pass from Wesleyan at one time when the Methodists threatened the Mountaineers goal. The initial victory for 1927 was highly pleasing to Mountaineer fans who have been inclined to show a gloomy outlook for the heavy schedule- facing the team for the season. 193 MOKTICOLA- F. GLENN M. GLEN Second iBame- asl)ln3to!X anb TLce West Virginia, in their second game of the 192 7 season, tied Wash ington and Lee University, the score being 6-6. This was the second time, in the past ten years that W. L. has tied the Mountaineers, but never that t me have they been able to win a victory. There was a larg- er wd to witness the contest, in spite of the terriffic heat. The West Virginia team was p ' aced in scoring distance for their tcuchdown ly a pretty pass which was caught by Keefer. He carri ' -d the ball to the one yard line and Hardy carried it over from there. Washington Lee tied the score late in the game after they had recovered the bail Lut a few lines of their goal due to the fact that one of A. G enn ' s punts went out of bound at that point . But with four downs in order to make a touchdown and only a few feet to carry the before they managed f the dov Marshall Glenn was not able to participate in this game due to the fact that his ankle had been sprained in scrimmage the week before. His true value to the team was shown quite clearly throughout the game. If h he been able to have backed up the line the outcome of this particula game might have been a different story. Washington Lee was represented by a strong and aggressive team Their backs ran hard and were extremely hard to drag to the ground The work of their line was featured by their tackles. Both of these me: and brawny and made an interesting afternoon for the Mount aineer backs. The playing of West Virginia was not up to par. While part o their lack of drive and usual aggressiveness may be blamed on the in heat that beat down on the team during the entire game, thei high standard that has be et by our 194 W. GARRETT A. HAGBERC H. HOGUE G. HAMILTON In their twi-iity-lhird annual clash, tht- Pilt Panthers romped to an easy victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers at the Pitt Stadium by the score of 40-0. It was a case of too much Welch, Booth, and the Pitt line, for the Mountaineers never really threatened. We ' ch, the Pitt captain, svirept arcund the ends at wiil, and then switched to throwing deadly forward passes to Hagan and Demoise which left the West Virginia defensive men standing in their tracks until the pass was on its way. Pitt was held scoreless in the initial period, but carried the fight to the Mountainecs, Edwards twice trying for goals from the field durin.; that session, tut not after the second quarter opened, Pitt took the ball on the West Virginia 43 yard line and avanced without a stop. Booth making the first tochdown. One minute later the most sensational play of the game took place, when Welch rece.ved A. Glenn ' s kickoff on the goal line, raced down to the Pitt 30 yard line, where Ryan had his way blocked, cut in to avoid this man, and finally cleared the field and ran unaided the remain- ing way. A pass from Welch to Hoban brought another Panther touch- down before the end of the half. At the beginning of the third quarter. West Virginia received the ball and advanced lo the Pilt 44 yard line, when an intercepted pass by Cutler cut short the first Mountaineer rally. The Panthers again in possesion of the ball did not relinquish it until they had again scored. The fourth period saw a complete collapse of the West Virginia team, for a second siring Panther team scored two touchdowns in rapid order, and the 40-0 score represents the same score made by Pitt in 1913, and equals the largest margin ever attained by a Panther team over the Mountaineers. i QQ iMONTICOLA- 196 MONTICOLA J. SCOTT X ' , BREWSTER 4SfBt 4 L. MEISEL R. LARUE The Wesl V.rs.nm and Lafayette College teams battled to a 7-7 deadlock, in the fourth game of the season, in a struggte that marked the return to form on the part of the Mountaineers sufficient to hold at bay one of the most powerful teams ever to play on Mountaineer Field. It also broke the strin g of successes for the Lafayette Maroons, which h.id stretched through parts of three seasons. Hanlon scored the touchdown for Lafayette when, within three minutes after the game started he scooped up a Mountaineer fumbl- on the West Virginia 47 yard line and raced unimpeded over the f line. Keefer scored for the Mountaineers after catching a pass from A. Glenn, and running 25 yards for the touchdown. Both ittompis for the extra points were good. Layayette threatened often, but a stone-wall de fense stopped them deep in West Virginia territory on three separate occasions, and they were unable to score with three attempted place kicks. Guest, Halon, Shellenberger starred for the Maroons and Keefer, A. Glenn and Larue proved to be the stars for the Mountaineers, although the line share of the glory goes to the light Mountaineer line, which wa.i outweighed but not outfought, and proved to be the stumbling block for the Lafayette team. This proved to be one of the greatest games ever played on Mountaineer Field, in which a reorganized West Virginia team stopped the winning streak of the Lafayette Maroons, who had trimuphed six- teen successive times since early in the season of 192 5 without a single set back or tie score. P? MONTICOLAr--r= MONTICOLA K. TALBOTT S. VACHERESSE F. JENNEWINE jFlftl) (3ame- (Georgetown In their second annual clash, the strong Georgetown University team romped to an easy victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers at Griffiths Field by the score of 3 5-0. West Virginia, not having fully recovered from the effects of their terrific struggle with Lafayette, found the Hilltoppers at their best. The latter team had been beaten by Syracuse, on the proceeding Saturday, in a game in which they were outscorcd but not outp ayed. Consequently Georgetown was out for blood in their game with the Mountaineers. They played as a team inspired and everything that they tried seemed to work successfully. Their running attack, lead by the brilliant Nork was well nigh irresistable. At the beginning of the third period. West Virginia received th-- ball and advanced deep into Georgetown territory, but a fumble put an end to the only real Mountaineer rally. The Hilltoppers again in possession of the ba ' l did not relinquish it until they had again scored. The playing of West Virginia was not up to par, and while part of their lack of drive and usual aggressiveness may be blamed to the fact that they had played through three hard games on successive Saturdays preceeding this game, their play as a whole was not up to the general standard that has been set by Rodgers coached teams in the past. Nork, of Georgetown, stood out as the shining light of the entire contest. He was at his best in this game and gave an exhibition of general all-around ability that has seldom been equaled in gridiron history. The work of Brewster, stalwart Mountaineer tackle, stood out conspicuously. QQ [ONTICOLA - 200 MONTICOLA Slxt (Bame-Carne le ecl) Carnegie Tech repeated their victory of last year over the Mountaineers, but not by a similar score, winning this time here on Mountaineer Field, by the score of thirteen to six, which indicated the advantage which the Tartans actually had over the Mountaineers. The first downs were fifteen to sixteen in favor of Carnegie Tech, but many of them were made by long runs and gains from passes, which covered more ground for them in all of the advances. Letzcltcr and English scored the touchdowns for the Tartans, thr former counting in the first period, and English getting a second mark on a complted pass in the third period. The latter attempt at goal was successful. Keefer tallied for the Mountaineers in the second period, after they had made a sustained march of 52 yards, and were halted on an incom- plete pass over the goal line, but the West Virginia team was strong in this period, and took the resultant Tech punt at mid-field and from there advanced the ball in six plays to the goal line. A. Glenn ' s attempt at goal was blocked. Carnegie Tech showed the effects of two defeats at the hands of f itt and W. J., but rallied sufficiently through the excellent work of Morehcad, Harpster, and Letzeltcr to down the Mountaineers who played a game far above that displayed at Georgetown on the previous week. Keefer, Larue. A. Glenn and Garrett starred for West Virginia. Tech held the advantage clearly in the first and last quarters, were held even in the third, and were easliy outplayed by the Moitntaineers in second and third perods. SeventI) (Bame-Mlissourl The sevenilh game of the season was played with the University of Missouri at the stadium of the latter team, and the Tigers emerged vic- torious by the score of I 3-0. This game, although resulting in a defeat, was one of the best of the year. The Mountaineer team played good hard football throughout the entire, game and had good fortune been with them, they probably would have emerged victorious. It was simply a case of two good teams playing on even terms throughout most of the game and the breaks deciding the issue in the favor of Missouri. The half ended with the score 0-0 and the Mountaineers having the ball in Missouri territory most of the time Time after time they carried the ball down as far as the Tiger 20 yard line, but they seemed to lack the punch to advance it past this point. During the early part of the second half the West Virginia team again found its stride and took the ball far into M ssouri territory, when Mehrle, crack Tiger back, intercepted a forward pass and returned th ' ; ball pratically to the West Virginia goal line. Here the Missouri team scored. But a short time afterwards, this same Mehrle caught the Mountaineers off guard and returned a kick to the goal line for the second and last touchdown of the game. For West Virginia, the line plunging of Keefer and the off-tackle run of Larue were sensational. While for Missouri, the great work of Mehrle. their illusive back, stood out. moNticola- 202 :rMONTICOLA.

The Mountaineers scored tvi ' o touchdowns in the second period, and a goal placement in the third quarter to gain their points, while the Senators scored one touchdown each in the second and fourth sessions. All of the attempts for points after touchdowns were failures. A. Glenn scored for the Mountaineers early in the second quarter, after West Virginia had received the ball on an exchange of punts on the D i E. 40 yard line. From this point with a long pass, Larue to M. Glenn, helping materially, the brilliant Albert Glenn cracked through on the final play for the touchdown. Soon afterward, the Mountaineers marched 3 5 yards, only to lose the ball on downs. D. E. then proceeded to get a spectacular run by Warren, for 30 yards, and a touchdown tieing the score. Mike Hardy, who substituted for Keefer. took part in five plays immediately thereafter, three runs and two passes, the final one to Garrett. These five plays netted West Virginia 65 yards and a touchdown, and put them back in the lead. In the third period, the fans were thrilled by some breaks, one of (hem being a 5 7 yard run by Wagner. West Virginia profited on a fumble recovered by Latham, and the Mountaineers marched 52 yards, to the 20 yard mark, from which point A. Glenn kicked a placement goal. The Senators returned the fight and took the ball from their 45 yard line for a touchdown, by the aid of several passes and line plays. Albert and Marshall Gleen, Larue and Garrett starred for West Virginia, while Rengle, Warren, and Bowles were best for D. 8c E. ! lntl) (Bame- ' asl)ln3ton anb Heffcrson The West Virginia Mountaineers rose to brilliant heights in the final game of the 1927 season, to hold a powerful Washington and Jefferson Presidents to a 6-6 tie, each team holding distinct advantages, the Mountaineers with a surprising defense in their scoring zone, and the Presidents with a powerful ofTense on a miserably muddy field. The Mountaineer line played as men possessed, with brilliant ends, recovering fumbles, blocking kicks, and throwing all of the Presidents good play for naught. West Virginia look advantage of Washington and Jefferson ' s mis- plays although greatly outrushed and outweighed. Two recovered fumbles in the first period enabled the Mountainers to stop an early W. «c J. rush, and brilliant defense in the scoring zone halted the Presidents on four other occasions. The recovery of a fumbled punt in the fin.il period gave the Mountaineers another opportunity, and this time they scored making It a tie. A final blocked punt almost cost W. J. a great game, with the Mountaineers in possession of the ball on the two yard line as the game ended. Although the game ended in a tie, the result was exceedingly pleasing to the West Virginia fans. The Mountaineers were the underdogs through- out the game and only by playing better than they knew how were they able to stave o(T defeat. The game with W, «c J. is always one of the most interesting ones on the West Virginia schedule and there is to be more pleasure on the part of Mountaineer fans derived from a credit- able showing against our time honored President than from most any other game of the year. Amos and Heisel were the stars for the visiting team, while A. Glenn ' s punting saved the day for the Mountaineers. MONTICOLA— : 204 MONTICOLA ' Summary of res man football Season The freshman team of this year, although possibly they do not look so impressive from the standpoint of games won or lost, was composed of many promosing players and much valuable Varsity material is ex- pected to be derived from within their midst. In Potts, Stump, Varney, Gordon, Morris, Plaster, Joseph and Bartrug, Coach Martin had men of exceptional promise. In their first game of the season, the Vice-Presidents of Washington and Jefferson triumphed over the Little Mountaineers by the score of 7-6. It was a hard fought game with the teams evenly matched, and some exciting football resulted. ' Tresljmen Hootball Scl)e6uU Oct. 17— Tech Freshmen at Pittsburgh. Oct. 20 Pitt Freshmen at Morgantown.

Tiiyl.. the 1926-27 team, the prospects tor a successful seas,. were exceptionally bright this year. The squad did not I as early as usual this year due to the fact that the Ark down to make room for the new Field House and som durinK the negotiations for the use of the new High School gym. The first game was played at home with the strong Salem College team furnishing the opposition. Althcugh Salem had defeated Davis and Elkins a few nights before their game with the Mountaineers they did not live up to expectations and the Varsity won the contest by a score of thirty-two to twenty. Carnegie Tech was our next opponent and West Virginia emerged victorious in a listless game the score being thirty-eight to twenty-nine. The first game played away from home was with our old rival West Virginia Weslcyan. The Bob Cats had every thing to win and nothing to lose and played with such vigor that the Varsity was extended to win. The final score was thirty-six to twenty-seven. Allegheny a school that usually supports a strong basketball team was not up to par this year and the Varsity had little Irouble winning from them by a score of thirty-two to twenty-one. The following week-end the Mountaineers invaded Western Pennsyl- vania. Their first game was with the University of Pittsburgh. The un defeated Panther quintet rode rough shod over West Virginia .ind in con- sequence the first game of the season was lost by the score of fifty-one to twenty-six. The following night Grove City College was played and defeated in a close game that ended with the score of thirty-five to twenty-one. The University of Detroit, a newcomer on the West Virginia schedule, was responsible for our second defeat of the season. This school had an experienced well balanced team and outscored the Varsity forty-one tu thirty-four. The next game was played at home and the Wesleyan Bob Cats were again defeated. The whistle ending the contest fouTid West Vir- ginia on the long end of a forty-three to thirty-four count. This year ' s annual Southern trip found the West Virginia team at its best and as the consequence Washington and Lee was defeated in a closb came that was played in Huntington by a score of forty-four to forty-two. The following night V. P. I. was swamped in a game that was played at Bluefield by a score of forty-seven to twenty-four. The trip ended in Charleston where a professional team known a the Chirlcston Senators and composed of many ex-Mountaineer stars was defeated in a game that ended fifty-five to forty-one. With the season half over and only two games having been lost West Virginia ' s troubles began. Marshall Glenn, the stellar sophomore forward sprained his ankle in the game at Charleston and was therefore unable to play in the first of the three games games with Davis and Ellkins. How- ever, the five men that did play agamst the wonder team from Elkiiis played us though inspired and it was not until the last few minutes that the Senators were able to win by a score of forty-three to forty-six. The next game was played away from home and the Mountaineers were defeated by Washington and JefTerson by a score of twenty-eight to twenty-nine. The next three games were return games with Grove City, Carnegie Tech and Allegheny. With Marshall Glenn back in the line up very little trouble was experienced in subduring these teams by the following scorrs: 30 to 24. 33 to 30, and 37 to 29. 21 [ONTICOLA-r: REVIEW OF THE SEASON The second game with D. E. which was played on the latter ' s floor found the Mountaineers without the services of Jim Black, the veteran guard. Although the team worked hard D. E. had little trouble defeating them by the score of 39 to 28. The University of Pittsburgh team came to Morgantown for their return game with the Mountaineers with a string of eighteen consecutive victories to their credit. The varsity was primed for the occasion and battled so stubbornly that whas has been termed The greatest college team in the country could only defeat them by three points. The final score was 42 to 45. The third and last game with D. E. was played in Clarksburg. Here again the Scarlet Hurricane emerged victorious. The score was 31 to 41. In the final game of the season the Mountaineer team was i na revenge- ful mood and as a consequence Washington and Jefferson, our oldest rival, was defeated by the score of 58 to 37. Captain Truehart Taylor played a consistently good game through- out the year and led the team in scoring. Marshall Glenn, the other forward, is one of the best floor men that West Virginia has had and should make a good record in his remaining two years of Varsity competi- tion. Hagberg, Black, Radcliffe and Fox held up their share of the burden admirably, and as a consequence one of the most successful season in recent years resulted. Thirteen games vere won and seven lost.

The first match of the season was held away from home and resulted in a victory for Indiana by the score of 1 4 to 9. The Mountaineers started off well, winning time decisions in the 115. 125 and 135 pound classes, but as the bout progressed, the going became more difficult, and the 1 loosiers merged victorious. It was a costly defeat for West Virginia, for Nixon, the heavyweight entry was injured. Brill. Cox and Cirdon showed to decided advantage in this particular contest. The second bout of the year was with the University of Michigan, a school that had won the Western Conference Wrestling Championship the preceeding year. The Mountaineers showed the effects of the hard struggle with Indiana and the outcome of the meet with Michigan resulted in an 1 8 Vb to 4Vi! victory for the Big Ten entry. Nixon, due to his injury in the first night, was unable to participate in this contest. Our first wrestling match at home was held with the University of Illinois furnishing the opposition. Although the match ended with that school on the long end of a 25 to score, the closeness of the contest is not told if the score alone be considered. Several of the bouts went into extra periods and the exhibition and showing made by the Mount- aineers was nothing to be anything but proud of. Illinois has as well balanced and as aggressive a team as has visited our University for many a year. In the fourth contest of the season, we entertained the Oklahoma A. and M. team. This is the school that has held the National Wrestling Championship for the past few years and is a school that features this particular sport . With three members of their team that are candidates for the coming Olympic team, they were not to be beaten, and the match ended with the score 2 7 to in favor of the westerners. It is quite a treat to watch this Oklahoma team in action, and although the mntch was rather one-sided, the crowd that witnessed the contest enjoyed the exhibi- tion thoroughly. Our first win of the season was registered against the team represent- ing Western Maryland. Wrestling is a new sport in this school, and ihi Mountaineers had little trouble in winning falls in all of the matches. The outcome of the last match is something that will not be soon forgotten in the minds of the followers of West Virginia teams. This bout was at the United States Naval Academy and the strong Navy team furni.shed the opposition. The Mountaineers entered as the underdog and Lt was only through sheer determination not to be denied that they merged victorious with the score 21 to 8 in their favor. Much of the credit for this victory should go to Cooper, the little 1 1 5 pounder, he started the boys in the right track by winnmg his match, which was the first of the evening. After seeing that the wonders from the Navy were not unbeat- able, the other West Virginia men entered into the contest with new determination, and as a result a wonderful victory was achieved. There are bright prospects for wrestling during the coming yeas None of the members of this year ' s team are to be graduated, and with Captain-elect Cox, ex-Captain Suder, Brill, Cooper, Girden. Harrick, and the Nixons back for the coming season, things seem to be very promising for the coming year. 219 moNticola 221 MOKTICOLAr— 222 MONTICOLA ' ROGERS Coach 1 i: is Captain I ' lllLLll S COWDEN Captain Elect Manager Z3l) i Xd 2am Phillips Vacheresse Ryan Hand Humphrey M.

America ' s own ranks second only to football in the athletic life of the Mountaineers. In considering the season from the standpoint of games won or lost or from the season ' s total number of runs, the result in 1927 was not as satisfactory as it might have been. But when you consider the fact that most of the tri-state rivals of the University did not support teams, making it necessary to schedule games with professional clubs, the season was very satisfactory. Having lost two excellent infielders, Rowand and Farley and two out- fielders. Captain Pfleger and Nugent, the prospects for a successful season were not too bright. But Coach Rodgers worked hard with material at hand and a team capable of holding its own in college circles was placed on the field. The brunt of the pitching fell on the broad shoulders of John a capable pitcher, was bothered throught- ore arm. Sam Lopinsky who had done ex- years, worked to advantage more or less enjoyed fair success, considering the fact for him on the :.ty. Harsanyi. Br out most of the season w cellent relief work in pi regularly.

Ed Morrison, regular first baseman years, held down that difficult position in fine style. 1 the freshman team and Hodges of the inter-fraternity jcond and third base respectively. The fielding of both is rather erratic, but they always redeemed themselves the field when they came to bat. Vacheresse had a = rage with the bat than any one on the team. Captain Lewis, Hand and Bill Harrick made up the outfield. They composed a capable and speedy trio. The catching was ably handled by Patrick and Humphrey. Both of these men possess strong arms and were fair hitters. The first two games of the season were played with the Fairmont Teachers College. The varsity worked well and both were won by scores of 5 to 3 and 5 to I respectively. 224 [ONTICOLA Summary? of Season The next contest, which was with the strong Marshall College team, found Harsanyi in fine form for the first game. West Virginia won thi- contest by the score of 3 to 2. But the visitors won the second game of the series by the score of 6 to 0. In place of the annual eastern trip, the Varsity took a jaunt through the midd ' e west this year. Beginning with Goodyear Industrial University, games were played with the University of Mcihigan. Michigan State College and Notre Dame. Two games being played with the last school mentioned. All of these games were lost, two by one run and two by a two run margin. The next week found the Varsity in Fairmont, playing that city ' s representative in the mid-atlantic league. The game resulted in a 6 to 6 tie. The following Friday and Saturday, Juniata College was our oppo- sition at home. We played and won two interesting games with them by the score of 4 to 3 and 12 to8. The next four games were played with the Clarksburg club in the Mid-atlantic league. Marietta College and the Quantico Marines. All these games were interesting, especially the ones with the Marines, but they were all lost by close scores. The last game with Wasedollino College, of Japan. These colorful Japanese students, who play baseball as it should be played, won both of their games with us. The game with the alumni, which is a cross between baseball and a side show, was won by the varsity by the score of 6 to 4. Coach Rogers, as usual, was the big gun for the alumni. It is to be regretted that so many of our natural rivals have given up baseball and every one that is interested in the sport hopes that many of them will see fit to resume it in the near future, making a much more interesting schedule for the Mountaineers possible.

A policy of gradual development has yuided the effort of Coach Smith, who is in charge of this important sport, beginning with but litt e experienced material Coach Smith developed a team that more than held its own with any of its tri-state competitors. Work started indoors in February, the squad moving to the track for practice in March, as soon as the weather permitted. By April, train- ing had progressed sufficiently so that elimination trials could be held. Another month was then devoted to intensive training. Our schedule was such that it was evident that only hard work could overcome the strenuous opposition we were to face. The opening meet presented the strong Geneva team at the Stadium. With the renowned sprinter, Butler and the giant Hubbard among their numbers. Coach McMillan s team lookcd particu.arly dangerous. Although But.er ran true to form, winn.ng three hrsts in the sprints, the West Virginia team performed in a capable manner and won the meet by the score of 80 to 55. A dual meet with W. and J. was the next attraction. This was ih ' : first time for some years that our rivals from Washington have supported a track team and the Vars.ty had little trouble winning by the onesided score of 120 to 15. W. and J. only managed to score one first place, that being the two mile event. It Coach Smith hadn ' t seen fit to keep Stender out of that event, our opponent would not have been so fortunate as to have tallied a first place. For the first time since 1922. the University of Pittsburgh track team defeated West Virginia in ihe.r annual meet. Although not unexpected, this triumph must have been very gratifying to Coach Frank Shea and his Panther followers. Two West Virginia boys were the shining lights for the Panthers. Welch look four first places, the javelin, shot, discus and broad jump, and five points were made by Gwinn in the hammer throw. Captain Okey Morrison was the shining light for the Varsity. Although handicapped by a sore leg he captured both hurdle races, equaling the state record in the high hurdles. Buvinger and Stender were the other West Virginia men that captured first places. The first of the meetings between the Big Four of the tri-statc district was held this year. Pitt, Carnegie Tech, W. and J. and West Virginia are the schools represented in this mythical conference. West Virginia acted as host and as a result one of the finest and most interes:- ing track meets that we have ever participated in was successfully com- pleted. With the Pitt team top heavy favorite. West Virginia put up a spectacular fight, keeping the hnal result uncertain until the last. As a result of their splendid ctiort, six new University records were established. Captain Okey Morrison set a new record in both the high and low hurdles, Montgomery in the quarter mile, Kirchner in the discus, Taylor in the broad jump and Keefer in the hammer throw. In conclusion it might be said that Coach Art Smith has shown remarkable versatility in developing track men. With the green and inexperienced material to work with, he has developed the sport a: West Virginia to the point where the Varsity is always a dangerous and worthy foe for any school. Incidcnily all of the West Virginia records have been established during the four years that he has been coach. 231 MONllCOLA. :rr 232 MONTICOLA: 233 MONTICOLA Officers President WINCHESTER LATHAM Vice-President CLARENCE KEEPER Secretary J.

The little fish escaped thru the meshes of the net and got back into circulation, but the big fish were all caught and hauled in to be slaughtered. Moral: Insignificance often brings safety. THE PI PHI AND THE CHEESE: A large black Pi Phi, seeing a Kappa walking across the campus with a piece of cheese, addressed her thus: Hello, you big Kappa, You! Where are you going with that pice of cheese? That ain ' t no piece of cheese! It ' s a Sigma Nu! angrily replied the big Kappa. THE BOY AND THE CHI OMEGA: Au ed was stung by a Chi Omega. He ran back to his frat house and told one of the older brothers. Altho it pains me very much, 1 did touch it lightly. That is just it, replied the other brother. The ne.xt time you touch a Chi Omega, grasp It boldly, and it will be as soft as silk in your hand and will not hurt you in the least. THE ALPHA XI LADY AND THE SAP: One day a lady Alpha Xi was taking a sap home when they crossed a bridge and the lady Alplia Xi saw her reflection in the water below. Knowing that so lovely a re- flection could come from no one except herself, she held tightly to her sap with one hand and powdered her lovely nose with the other. THE DELTA GAMMA GRASSHOPPER AND THE PHI MU ANT: Once upon a time there was a nice lady Delta Gamma Grass-hopper co- vorting over the greens of our lovely campus enjoying the beautiful moon- light to the fullest extent of her youthful desires. Suddenly she came upon a Phi Mu ant diligently wending her way to the library. Now the Delta Gamma grasshopper being an inquisitive soul did accost the little Phi Mu ant and did speak thus: Why goest thou to the library, oh very insignificant ant, when all the world lies open tonight? Why not l)e like me and en,i )y yourself? The little Phi Mu ant quouth not a word but continued on her journey. The silly Delta Gamma grassliopper kicked up her heels and with a catty laugh continued in her conquest of pleasure. — Winter came and with it the exams. The silly little Delta Gamma Grasshopper busied out of school and llie diligent little Phi Mu ant made the honor squad. 414 MONTICOLA OF MASTER SERVICE CLEANER WEST VIRGINIA The Spots come out — the Frowns come off, when we restore the new look to those garments by our scientific cleaning methods.

MONTICOLA 419 MONriCOl (Tamf us pes THE POLITICIAN The politician is the man who always re- members you about the time of the spring elections. He walks up and suavely says to you: Well old man, I haven ' t seen you for finite a while, where do yon keep yourself? Mustn ' t stick too close to the books (ha, hi!) Then he gets confidential, takes your hand in his, places the other on your shoulder and pro- ceeds to mention very seriously and with ,nr at impressiveness — By the way, old fellow, a number of my friends want me to run for of- fice, and I ' m counting on you to support me for all you are worth. I ' m not seeking this for myself, but since my friends are anxious that I have it, I ' m making the run to please them, Others of this type are Red Mead, Ken Cow- den and Sleepy Glenn. THE ACTOR Among the actors about the place, in addi- tion to the appendage at the left, we have Mr. W. C. Ayers, the W. ( ' . standing for Who Cares. Mr. Ayers ' every gesture is worthy uf Barrymore. ' The actor is the man who can turn a simple remark about the weather into a dramatic incident of touching nature and far reaching conseqquences. He is invariably soen on the campus deep in thought, his lips moving slightly, while he chuckles amusedly to himself about the nasty way Steve Vaught acted in In Love with Love. Upon a chance encoun- ter, he greets you thus: What Ho, Horatio? . ha. the guard! Whither away, fair young squire with comely wench at your side, on this spring morning when all the world is yet sleep- ing? Methinks there lurks an air of mischief in those glistening eyes| What-wouldst be on thy way to the Library? Tarry a bit and even I will j iin you. THE ATHLETE He is the man who is brought into the living room of the fraternity house during rush week to show off his big W. V. and srushingly great the rushees. At other times he is kept in the attic studying Culture and Self-Improve:ncnt, Clothes and How to Wear Them — during his first two years. By this time he has been suffi- ciently trained so that he does not break down the furniture when he sits down, bend the knives and forks or wear his hat at the table. He does not know anything about complexes, Intellectual Emancipation, The Russell theory of matrimony or the Decameron, and he doos not give a damn. Because of his ability to throw things around, including the first per- son singular of the personal pronoun, he is always sure to get by. This last brings torih from us the presentation of another of this class — Rudolph Hagberk — who is so aptly nick- named Swede. 420 =_: M0NTIC0LA MONTICOLA - JPre5l)men URtelllgence Xbasl Any freshiiiiin (iiicliuiing the freshman foot-ljall siiuatl) should be able to answer the following questions at the end of the second semester.

C C C C A pessimist is a man who proposes a second time. r c c c It is not often that a University graduates ' a president and for that reason the Class of ' 2S should feel highly honored. The only difference is that the president took fifteen years to get his pass out check and the seniors (with few exceptions) get theirs in four years. The only team that holds secret practices, never plays a game in public, has no captain, rules nor regulations, and plays 365 days a year is the Necking Team.

Dick remarked to a fellow student as a cleverly dressed, taffey headed frail passed the corner. Yes, I see her, hut what of it? replied his companion. Well, it was like this, began Dick. We were standing in front of the Spot when that dame drifted by. After looking at her I concluded that she needed me so I took up the trail. After following some distance and finally screwing up enough cour- age to break the news, I ever so gently tapped her on the shoulder and eaid, Beg your pardon but haven ' t we met some place before. Yes, she replied, but it wasn ' t my fault: and kept right on in hich gear. Still hopin gfor success I made another att empt to get better ac- quainted wih Ruby, aS I called her hat for lack of a bettor adjective, I know that I have met you, I began, but the lime and the place have slipped my memory.

Brother Scott moves that Brother Murrin ' s pin be lifted for the insinuous implication that the above mentioned song was his own per- sonal property and that Mary was the ONT5. Brother Littlepage amends to read that the song be the personal property of the Chi Omega Chapter to use and be used at will so long as he was included. Bi-others Wilt and Swearingen break up the meeting by staging a private hotsy tots exhibi- tion of the Baltimore as it is danced in Morgantown. PHI SIGMA KAPPA Meeting barely opened. Brother Heck appoints brother Parriott as the worthy successor for Bro. Hobensack as the guiding star for dear old Phi Sig in the political firmament. Special instructions were given him not to r un Jim Wade for cheer-leader since organized cheering seems to not be in his line this semester. Brother Moore is extended a vote of thanks and confidence for getting Bro. Zoehlicker the membership of foot- ball. Brother Wooddell. the silent Cal of the campus, asks that tne brothers refrain from voting more than four times in the coming elections since it would be a great moral strain for him to close both eyes to cor- ruption — four votes being the capacity of one eye. KAPPA ALPHA Brother Keefer has great difficulty in calling meeting to order since Brothers Meisel, Behnke. Strothers. and P ' erguson are staging an eating contest in the dining room. Brother Red Mead took the floor to advise the brothers on how to get along next year without him, but broke into sobs when he thought of what the loss would be, especially when it comes to personal advertisement in the Athenaeum. 428 MONiiCOLA.-:: : DELTA TAU DELTA Brother Holland breaks two gavels calling the meeting to order amid the turmoil and ' onfusion caused by Brothers Garrett and Cole arguing which one of them threw the two belligerent drunks out. Brother Bot- tome moves that Brother Conaway buy a new suit in preparation tor his campaign for Presidency. Brother Conaway moves that Brother Bot- tome quit going with Brother Morrison ' s girl. Brother Flannigan ap- pointed to investigate from behind the screen in the Pi Phi dining room and report the exact state of affairs. Brothers Sample and Simpson again congratulate themselves on being the two most highly inebriated toughs at the Hill Hard Times Party. Meeting finally broken up by the police department at the call of Brother Hil Ifor assistance. PI KAPPA ALPHA Meeting open with the national anthem Bottl e, bottle, who threw the bottle. After much deliberation it was decided that Brother Hill be transferred to the Delta Gam house to save him the trouble of making excuses for missing meetings on Tuesday nights. Brother Johnston ap- pointed to see that appropriate reception be given Brother Turner when he comes to West Virginia. Brother Kirtley ' s su.ggestion for a beer party at said reception overruled. Brothers all congratulate themselves for being the foundation of the famous hill. KAPPA SIGMA Meeting opened by brothers all filing in and taking their places in alphabetical order thus saving a halt hour in roll call. Brother Fletcher moves that all brothers put on their foot-ball uniforms as a rushee will be up for dinner tomorrow night. Brother McHenry asks if shoulder pads are required. Brother Stender makes plea fo a general intoduction of members to each other. When asked if he wanted to put it in the form of a motion he replied that he would like to but he did not know anyone well enough to expect a second. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 so the brothers could keep training tor spring football. TAU KAPPA EPSILON Meeting dropped open. Brothei Rheinhart came in late as usual to create a stir. Brother Humphries moved that his picture be sent to the journal for advertising purposes. Motion died tor lack of a second. Brother Virgin asked all the brothers to refrain by calling him by his last name when he is around girls because he feels that some of the girls might become embarrassed. Meeting adjourned for baseball practice. 4 0 MONTICOLA MONTICOLA ALPHA GAMMA RHO Meeting opened with a short bed time story by Brother Raines about a little country girl who came up to him and asked him if the A. G. R. ' s really owned the Farmers Castle. It was moved and seconded that a letter be written to the new dean of the ag school to find out if he belonged or not — steps to bet aken to prevent his taking office if he was not. PHI KAPPA PSI Meeting opened after a quorum had drifted in from the Kappa House. Brother Phillips makes motion to the effect that Brother Jackson refrain from playing father to the chapter and really do some work. Passed with only one dissenting vote (Bro. Jackson ' s). Brother Scott Lowe asked the brothers to observe quiet hours more closely as he was trying to work up atmosphere for the next Dramatic Club play. Brother Taylor hoarsely whispered that Brother Lowe always had plenty of atmosphere — that is, if fog was atmosphere. Meeting dismissed during Brother Phillips ' weekly lecture on The Ai ' t of Dressing Well. THETA CHI A meeting was held simply because the constitution requires that one be held once a week. Brother Roberts was reprimanded for making so much noise with his slide rule. It was moved and seconded that the chapter build a padded cell in which to entertain drunken alumni to-wit: Bros. Kramer. Johnston and Hostetler, when they return for short visits. Motion passed without much trouble after Brother Marsh told the chapter that the repair bill for furniture broken by above mentioned brothers was $35.63% for the week of May 19th. Brother Crouse made a speech on Why I Belong to the Union. (Meeting still in session as Brother Crouse is still talking). PHI KAPPA SIGMA After waiting three hours and fifteen minutes for Brother Willhyde to trim his upper lip the meeting was opened. Brothers Johnston and Vaught asked to instruct all the new members on the technique of pull- ing the wool over Dean Stone ' s eyes. Brother Bias, for the thousandth time asks the brothers to Hurry up and buy the Monticola since his picture is on nearly every page. Brother Wood moves that the chapter not expel him for going to Europe with a K. A. Matter taken under con- sideration. eMeting calmly (for a change) adjourned. QO MONTICOLA- SIGMA NU Meeting opened after seven of the brothers had been given a cold shower to sober them up. Brother Snyder reads a Itter from the Military department asking the chapter to return the uniforms they borrowed for initiation. Brother Ault says that he can not return the things he bor- rowed because he still takes military. Brother Cowden makes a short speech about the past election and had the brothers all weeping bitter tears for not fighting for Sigma Nu. Brother Monroe asks the chapter if Charley Coleman is really a Sigma Nu or a Kappa. Brother Snyder tells him that he was but that former Brother Coleman was now the errand boy at the Kappa House. As is the custom the meeting was ad- journed. BETA THETA PI Meeting opened after the torch-light parade down Foundry Street. Brother DoUman came in and a rat bit him thinking that he was a piece of cheese. Brother Bycott then gave a talk on the national standing of Beta, but fell in a faint when he started in on the local standing. Brother Brown asked to be told just who this guy Wiggund is that he has heard so much about in initiations. Brother Latham instructed to inform him. The chapter congratulates Brother Ralston on his drag with Dr. P. I. Reed and the chapter boos loudly. Meeting annulled. SIGMA PHI EPSILON Brother S ummers called the meeting to order — six members answered the roll call so the outer guard was dispatched to the horse-shoe grounds across the street to inform the dear Knights of the Bleeding Heart that the time had come again for them to listen to another one of Brother Gene Arnold ' s campaign talks. Brother Fleshman congratulates the fra- ternity on having a candidate for governor and reprimands the city police department for arresting him — $102.60. Meeting broken up by Broth. ;rs M. Glenn and making a dash for the Pi Phi house. PHI DELTA THETA Meeting called to order by Brother Wiseman. Brother.s Suder and Cox stage a 43 minute exhibition wrestling bout for the benefit of all the brothers who had been unable to witness their mat abilities during the past winter. Considerable discussion ensued on the matter of finding some one to fill Brother Bill Thompson ' s shoes. Brother Harrington snickered meanly and added that no one in the chapter had big enough feet. Meeting adjourned without much trouble. 434 MONTICOL. COMPLIMENTS OF Williamson Coal Operators Association WILLIAMSON, W. VA.

QQ 435 MONTICOIA Reflections IN GENERAL: It seems to us that the trouble with this school is (1) the students, (2) the students, and (3) the students. If this student body had any spunk at all they would rise up in arms and demand that the taxpayers of this State give them a university that is a university. May God hasten the day when a leader will come who will give us the strength to do this. ABOUT FOOTBALL: Las fall we hear a lot of fair weather fans criticize Coach Rodgers, Mr. Stan.sbury, the team and the school, and for what reason — an off year. Can any one show us a football record from any school in these United States that has not experienced the same thing that we have? We cannot expect o win year afer year without hit- ting the rough spots once in a while. Mountaineers get behind your teams and help them fight! ABOUT MORGANTOWN: It is a damn pity that the University was ever located in this hick town. The townspeople, especially the mer- chants seem to think that they are doing the students a big favor in let- ting them use their old town. We would like to know just haw many of those people would be able to live the way they do without the Uni- versity. Millions of dollars are spent here every year by the students and by the state and who benefits — the residents of Morgantown and yet they charge New York prices tor Punkin Center rooms. Paris prices for dresses and gowns, and lord only knows how such terrible suits can be even given away to anybody — yet the merchants will tell you that bus- iness is terrible, that they can ' t cash your check, that the students im- pose upon hrkn and all that sort of hoofey. :MONTICOLA Sunny Side Pharmacy F.

We can ' t understand why this university with all the funds that have been appropriated for courses in journalism cannot put out a paper of a great deal higher calibre. For the past three years the journalism department of our rival college — Marshall has won the fetate prize for having the best college publication— and you should see their journalism department — about ten students, an old house for an office, and a much smaller student body — yet in one year they interview- ed the president of the United States, put on a drive for student organiz- ation and government and got it and started the movement to bring na- tional fraternities to the school. Why can ' t we have a paper that will really amount to something — that will help us fight for the things we need ' ? Why should there be the close CENSORSHIP that exists at pres- ent — it is our paper and it should represent us — not just those things that a board of censors wish it to represent. ABOUT THE MONTICOLA: This school has been publishing a year- hook for years and years and yet the number of copies printed each year has been far below the number printed tor schools of equal size. We have seen lots of year-books and we have talked to lots of authorities on year- books and they say that the Monticola has always been far ahead of the average college year-book — nd yet the students do not support it. It is for you nd its sole aim is to portray the life and thought of the Uni- versity during the calendar year. It costs lots of money to do this but when it is once done it is there in black and whie for years and years to come. If the fee for the Montiicola were to be included in the tuiti )n fee the Publication Board could give the students of West Virginia Uni- versity the best year-book in the country at about half the cost of the book under the present system. Some day this is going to be brought to the attention of the Board of Control — in the meantime think it over and see what advantages there arc in hi;; scale production. 438 MONTICOLA 439 MONTICOLA
