WVU Upsets Penn State In Tough Homecoming Frame
WVU loses the first half 20-0 but jams back to lead the second half 6-0 and almost reaches a late score. Freddy Colvard runs for the two yards from WVU’s 2 as Jim Moss and Berzansky grind yardage, Dale Evans engineers the late drive, and Colvard is ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct after a Moss fumble. Dick Leftridge, a Hinton High back, could become WVU’s color barrier breaker with interest from Ohio State, Syracuse, and Purdue, while officials prep for the upcoming Coalfield Conference basketball season with weekly rule-change classes.

Reds star pitcher joey jay enters gas oil venture in west virginia
Spencer West Virginia UP I reports Cincinnati Reds ace Joey Jay has become vice president of the J B oil company. The firm, co founded by Jay and Allen Beard, operates a nearby oil gas well and plans more drilling. Jay says the well should yield about 200 dollars daily in oil and 50 to 100 in gas once lines are connected. He notes prior drilling in Illinois and Indiana and that J B focuses on proven fields rather than wildcat ventures. Jay plans to spend much of winter in WV and remains engaged in the new business.
