The Football Season Will Be
Brought to a Close by
These Teams
Interesting Review Of this.
Sport as Developed
by New Rules

New York, N. Y, Nov. 27.---With
the annual game between the army
and navy at Philadelphia tomorrow,
the football season of 1908 is brought.
to a close, leaving the ranking of the
teams and selection of the various
g aall-American' eleyens to occupy the.
followers of the sport.
Perhaps the chief thing demon
strated by this years contests was
that the so-called minor leagues are
no longer to be despised. The Navy
tied Harvard and Brown, and held
the Crimson to a.6 to score this
fall; Dartmouth defeated Princeton,
while Syracuse and West Point held
the men from New Jersey to nothing
to nothing ties, and Yale was able to
score one touchdown only against the
Army.
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 kick
ing and trick plays have a greater
development than ever before, while
the forward pass is generally admitt-
ed to be one of the prettiest plays
| in football. s s
It can hardly be said that the re-
vised game has reported as high a
development in the west as in the
east Michigan, which For years had
one of the strongest gridiron aggre.
cations in the country under former
rules, has recently suffered success.
i've defeats by eastern colleges, this
year being whipped by both Pennsyl.
vania and Syracuse.
Chicago held Cornell ito a tie this
season, but Cornell was easily de.
feated by Pennsylvania two weeks
Later. Minnesota took the Indians
into camp by a score or IL ito 6, but
Carlisle had already been beaten II
to Q by Harvard, but then the Indians
are notoriously erratic and were said
not to have played up to their stan
dard at Minneapolis.
There can be little dispute that the
choice of the nations best eleven
lies between Pennsylvania and Har.
yard, as both went through the season
undefeated. There is little basis for
q comparison between these two.
| Probably most critics will rank as
the six leading teams in the east lex
elusive OF the army and the navy
Harvard. Pennsylvania, Yale, Dart.
mouth. Brown and Princeton, in the
order named. 5.
In the west there is no question
OF Chicago's leadership. She has won
every game played except that
against one eastern college. Cornell.
Next probably comes Wisconsin and
then Minnesota.

As circular letter signed .sA Repub-

trend is towards the theory that the
members Of the legislature owe first
allegiance to the constitution Of the
United States which they are sworn
to support in taking their oath OF
office, rather than to any primary
laws which may be passed by the
state. ii other words. the writer

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
(By Herbert J. Hapaood)

II is always easier for the man
who is already employed to find
new position, than 1t is for the
man who is out of work. \ connec-
ton with first-class business house
is good enough introduction. 1t
brings with 1t a guarantee of an.
ity and good character, and makes
it possible for the applicant TO Sc
cure an audience and make a strong.
er first impression.
You have often been advised to
stick to the old job until you find
something better and will heartily
subscribe TO that counsel. No matter
how disagreeable and Improbable
your occupation may be, it will pay
you to remain there until you have
succeeded in negotiating for more
satisfactory and more lucrative con
nection.
Human nature possesses many
strange phenomena. among which is
the tendency TO jump on the man
who is down Anybody who has ever
been out of employment knows how
people are suspicious of him. They
insist upon "A satisfactory reason for
his present condition, and If he has
been out Of work for any length of
time. natural prejudice arises as
barrier TO confront him.
A young man came to me the 9th
er day and said he was laid off
five months ago during the financial
furry. lie had turned down thrre
offers during the last two months
before he was suspended, but since
then. although he had been on the
outlook constantly, he has met with
but little encouragement.
OF course, the conditions were diff
ferent then, but this incident Will
tend TO illustrate the truth that an
employed man stands better chance
Of securing another position.
