GRIDLRON STATISTICS
By MAN HAITIAN.

New York, December 1S.-Footban sta- tistics arA now in order and truly it has been many season since the dope" was as interesting.
 Take in the matter of the games, for example. 1t is doubtful is ever in the history of the sport has there been so many no-result games between leading teams.
 Here is a list of the most important
 Harvard 6, Annapolis 6; Pennsylvania 6, Carlisle t; Yale 10. Brown 10; Princeton 0, Lafayette 0; Princeton o, Syracuse O.; Princeton Q. West Point 0; Dartmouth o, ]. Williams 0; Cornell 6, Chicago S., West Point 6, Washington and Jefferson 6; La fayette s, Bucknell 6; Georgetown 6, North Carolina 6; Williams o, Vermont O.; Amherst o, Vermont 0; Amherst 6, Trim ity 6; Wesleyan 0. Union c; Wesleyan O. New York university 0, Minnesota 0, Ne braska 0; Michigan 0. Michigan Aggies O.
 Another remarkable feature of the sea- son was the development of the field goal. The Indians were undoubtedly the most adept aerial scorers. and defeated such teams as Syracuse, Penn State and the Navy by means of the field goal alone. Harvard was returned victorious by req son of the clever toe of Kennard and a field goal by Dartmouth enabled that team to cage the Tiger. In the west Michigan made great use of this play and pulled many games out of the fire by req son of the scoring powers of her clever toe artist Allerdice. Other instances too numerous to mention characterized game after game this fall.
 The absolute impossbility of forecast ing the result of a game of football by comparison of games previously played was time and again demonstrated. Take the last game of the season, for instance, that between Army and Navy The re- suits of previous games showed the mid dies to be undoubted winners. Yale de- feated West Point; Harvard won over the Bulldog, and inasmuch as the middies fought a drawn battle with the Crimson,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-14

there was every reason for advocates of the ''record system" of picking gridlron winners to favor the Navy in their final contest. But the record shows a different story.
 A midseason instance of the fallacy of the comparative system of selecting win ners is as follows Syracuse defeated Williams by a 23-toO total: Syracuse was then held to a 0-to-O score by Princeton. Williams and Dartmouth played a 0-to-0 draw, making the Tigers a probably 23- to-9 winner over the wearers of the Green and White. What happened right here in town to the sons of Old Nassau is a matter well known to football enthusi- asts.
 But what is the use of putting in more evidence, which would be merely eumu- lative?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-14

The hold college football has on the people is evidenced by the fact that the attendance at the 33 leading games of the season was 5O7, 800, an average of more than 15, 600 to the game Prominent among the high attendance matches were the Harvard Yale, 36,0O0; Princeton, 35,- 000; Dartmouth, 35 5000 Harvard Carlisle, 900O0; Army-Navy, 3O,O00; Penn sylvania- Cornell, 26,000; Carlsle-Pennsyl- vania, 26,000; Chicao- Cornell, 25000: Chi oago-Minnesota 25,000; Pennsylvania Michigan, 16,000. and California Stanford, 1S,O00.
 Captain Hollenback of Pennsylvania is the undisputed king of the touchdown producers, having 15 trips across the final chalk mark to his credit Coy of Yale and Richardson of the Navy are next with ten tallies apiece. Maner of Penn sylvania. Walder of Cornell and White of Harvard are next in order. It is an as- tonishing fact that Tibbort of Princeton. who Is undoubtedly of All-American cali bre, has but one touchdown opposite his name, as has also Miller the star guar torback of Pennsylvania. Scarlett of Penn- sylvania is the undsputed king of the goal from touchdown xickers, having re- corded 25 successful tries. Northcraft of Princeton are other reliable players who have done consistent work in this line all fall Kennard of Harvard, Dean of the Army, Northcroft and Lange of the Navy and Allerdice of Michigan were star field goal artists and last but far from being least, Thorpe and Balenti of the Indians.

A Michigan Man Tells How Or. VIII
iiams' Pink Pills Cured His Ind-
qestion in the Only Rational
Way.

The symptonms of stomach trouble
varN Some victims have a ravenous
appetite. some loathe the sight OF food.
OFTEN there is feeling as of weight on
the chest, a full feeling in the throat
Sometimes the gas presses on the
heart and leads the sufferer to think
he has heart disease Sick headache
is a frequent and distressing symptom.
Experience shows that these trou-
bles vanish just as soon as the
stomach Is made strong enough to
digest tho food Ia other words, it
needs tonic that will rouse It TO do
the work Of changing the food into
nourishment.
A very delicate stomach requires
easily digested food bai nature never
intended that the food should be diges-
ted before It Is eaten. The stomach
must be strengthened to perform it's
own work and what IL needs is not
food elready digested but a tonic. The
processes of digestion are controlled by
the blood and nerves, and medical
sccience has produced no better diges-
tive tonic than Dr. Williams Pink
Pills.
