that he believed his son had gone to Birmingham to enlist at the navy re- cruiting station there and he wanted to see him before he went away.
 Dr. Love does not object to the boys enlisting but wants to see him before he goes and have a talk with him. It seems that young Love left home rather suddenly without telling his people where he was going, or if he did, they did not take the statement seriously until after the boy left town.

Open Football Popular
 And Is Pe7manent Fixture

ton with the new game, is generally ad mitted to be one of the prettiest plays in football Many of the most bitter de- tractors of the new football at it's incep- ton two years ago are now among it's most ardent supporters. In the minds of experts it has ceased to be an experi- ment.
 It can hardly be said that the revised game has reached as high a development in the west as the east. Michigan, which for years had one of the strongest grid iron aggregations in the country under the former rules, has recently suffered successive defeats by eastern colleges, this year being decisively whipped by both Princeton and Syracuse. Her material has been poor and she has been handi- capped by rigid faculty restrictions, but this, 1t is generally thought, does not ac- count altogether for the slump.
 Chicago held Cornell to tie this sea son, but Cornell was easily defeated by Pennsylvania two weeks later. Minnesota took the Indians into camp by a score of II to 6, but Carlisle had already been beaten IT to 0 by Harvard.
 However comparative scores are unre- liable, and many western followers of the sport maintain that the teams in that sec ton are still the equal of those in the east.

New York. November 27.-With the an- nual game between the Army and Navy at Philadelphia tomorrow, the football season of 1908 will be brought to a close.
 Perhaps the chief thing demonstrated by this years contests was that the so- called minor colleges are no longer to be despised Heretofore the big teams, such as Yale, Harvard and Pennsylvania, have usually toyed with their small opponents, running up points almost at will. Now, all this is changed The Navy tied Har- yard and Brown held the Crimson to a G. to-2 score this fall; Dartmouth defeated Princeton, while Syracuse and West Point held the men from New Jersey to to ties, and Yale was able to score one touch- down only against both Syracuse and the Army. These are a few instances of the strength of the lesser elevens.
 Another fact brought out is that new football has come to stay. As now played the game is far more open and hence more interesting to the spectators and less harmful to the players. Punting, field goal kicking and trick plays have reached a greater development than ever before, while the forward pass, an innova-
