targe Squad Reports At "Get-To-gether" Meeting—Spirit Runs High.

By Ralph H. White.

Watch Wiley high. That's the slogan adopted at the south side institution yesterday afternoon when 40 gridiron aspirants gathered under the watchful eye of L. ±J. Webster to prepare for the coming football season.

Who said there was a lack of school spirit at Wiley? The session was a lively affair ana everybody simply bubbled over with confidence. True, a raft of last year s stirs fere gone, but thte fighting spirit which in years pone by carted the aouth-siders to victory isn't, and the eleven to be put In the field is expected \o gc some. ,,

What if a coach is lacking, the fellows intend trying just the same. Some of the old heads, stars of the first water, will be corralled and asked to snow the youngsters how it should be done. Manager "Web" may have something up his sleeve, but he's not talkingwon't until the proper time.

Principal Conner talked to the boys and pledged himself to supports every effort made to produce a winning combination. His address made a big hit and he was applauded to the echo.

Billv Hoff, ftaymond Werneke and Jap Davis may compose the coaching staff.

Capt. Raymond Harris is "up and at .'em." He's sure he'll be boss of a worthy eleven. His speech at yesterday's session went something like this: "We ought to have some team. Let s all get together and hustle. Surely out •of-this squad of 40, we can get good ones. Let's go."

The big game will naturally be the tussle with Garfield on Turkey day. Other probable tilts will be with Westfield and Effingham, 111., Brazil, Coal

xttfnt

and Linton.

Those answering the call were: Tucker, Willis, Donham, McLatn Graf a, Nlchol, Cleary, Shopp, Kretcher, Swindy, Armstrong, Kautz. Motz, Valentine, Isgrlgg, Adamson, Rubel, Kintz, Jones, Rlsgling, Hale, Staley, Thompson, Levin, Wolf Werneke, Goodrich. Rhaley, Weum, Gray, Sweeney, Kewlow, Krausbeck, Goodman. Beresford, Fennel .Voorhees, O'Dowa, O'Connel, Tabor and Harris.

and Stogies Drop Down

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept 1 President E. W. Dickerson, of the Central league, today declared forfeited the two games won by Wheeling on August 18 In a double header with QbUth Bend. The reason given is that on that date, Wheeling had 14 player*.

whereas the league rules say that if the limit of 13 is exceeded by any tfaun all games won by that team while above the limit shall be declared 'forfeited.

The decision upsets the p«nnant race in the Central league, dropping Wheel in from the top to third place:

SWEET, FRUITY, SATISFYING

If you should visit the great to-bacco-growing, tobacco-manufac-turing centers, you would find that the men who are the best judges of tobacco in all its forms chew plug tobacco.

Old Kentucky gives you the full benefit of the natural juice of the leaf—and the juice contains all the flavor, and all the wholesome, satisfying elements which make it so valuable as well as enjoyable.

Old Kentucky is chewed by more tobacco experts than any other brand. Its sweet, mellow flavor pleases them, and they know that it is made of choice, selected, ripe Burley leaf, in a clean, sanitary factory.

A ioc plug of Old Kentucky is fresh and delicious. YouH say you never tasted its equal, and the more you chew it the better you'll like it. Get it from your dealer.
