Prof. Robinson is this season coach
ing the Howard University football
team and has had a very successful
season. The team had an extra hard
schedule, but has gone through with
out meeting a single defeat, which
speaks well for the ability of the
team and shows that Coach Robinson
has worked into his men some of the
finer points of the game. Howard has
without doubt the strongest team
she has had for several seasons. Her
backfield is the most powerful scoring
device that could be gotten together,
and little Barco, the quarter, is a man
of wonderful ability and great gen

years, going from there to Union Uni

Quite a number of football seasons
have gone into history, but the sea-
son of 1908, which was brought to a
close Thanksgiving day stands out as
being the most successful in years.
The great college sport has been
brought to the point where 1t is not
only a game in which strength alone
is required, but also one OF skill, and
with the new rules came a faster
game more open style of play and
one in which the operators could get
the fullest benefit. The change has
also worked quite a deal of the dan
ger from the game and made 1t in
deed a game of skill and science. The
past season, so far Negro schools
in the South are considered, mas
worked a wonderful change. The
teams that in past years have been
weak came back this year strong
and showed a wonderful knowledge
of the new game, and their playing
has brought them up to a higher
standard. There was in the old days
a few schools which always had good
teams and these teams would have no
trouble in winning from smaller ones,
but that has all passed into history,
and now the smaller schools and
colleges have a brighter chance and
often down their larger rivals. This
condition has been brought about by
the new game which affords a light
fast teams as much chance to win as
heavier one. The forward pass and
outside kick give the lighter teams
a means by which they can gain
much ground and also score a touch
down. which can be done without
wearing away the strength Of the
team and still leave it fresh to NEE
the attacks of the heavier team. This
feet was shown in the Meharry-Fisl
game. when light team ran up
score of IA points against team tina
outwe'ghed them at least eigh
pounds to the man. The change ha
been wonderful one and has worke,
we'll: it has made the game one Il
which every one can see the ball a
all times.

FISK FOOTBALL,

On Tuesday of this week Coach
Giles, of Fisk University, took his
1908 football squad to the city and
had their photographs made. Practi-
cally every man belonging to the
team that had participated in the
three leading games Of the season
constituted the group. This picture
when completed will represent the
team as it stands this year because on
next year at least three of the men
will not be with the team as they
finish with the class Of 1909. Coach
Giles. in speaking with reporter just
before going to the photographer,
said that owing to the extra prepa-
rations made for examinations, the
squad had not as yet been able to
have the annual election Of the Of
ficers nor arrange the schedule for
next season. This will be taken up
early next week. Prof Giles Is a
product of the Physical Training Art
School of Springfield, Mass. This
school males a Gpecialty of athletics
and physical training. That he was
a good student and mastered the art
was demonstrated Thanksgiving day.

Florence, Ala, Nov. 2, 1903 The
Burrell-Pearl High School football
game. briefly mentioned mentioned in
your last issue was the biggest 9TH

ence. A large crowd of spectators came
out to Burrell to see the swift team
from Nashville stack up against the
home boys, and right good game did
they see.
The Burrel team of this year was
revelation to the boys from Nash
Vile. If. as was said, last year, they
did not know the game as PLAYED in
these parts, they certainly knew this
year. The team averaged about 15C
pounds against 1876 for Pearl. The
backs of Burrell averaged ITO pounds

POPE HoNoRs SON.
Sends Special Blessing To Young Man
 By Sister.


 Rome, May 11.-Prince Lancellotti, one of the chiefs of the ''black" aristocracy, so- called, and a Catholic author of renown. solicited an audience with the Pope, wish ing to introduce his family.
 Pope Plus received the supporter of the Vatican policy most kindly and talked at length with the wife and daughters of the prince.
 But I thought you had son of about 20. Why didn't you bring him along?" asked the Holy Father
 The prince sighed deeply.
 "Because,'' he said under the laws of the usurper, living in Your Holiness Pal ace of the Quirinal, he is obliged to serve in the royal army at present."
 "Obliged?' said the Pope. 'Doesn't t your excellency consider that to serve the King and the country is not only mans duty, but an honor as well?'
 The prince was so dumfounded by the Popes speech that he found no words to reply. So the Holy Father changed the subject but when his guests left him he made the sign of the cross twice over the fair brow of the youngest daughter.

Americans travelling abroad are often puzzled on the subject of baths. says the June Delineator We are so used at home to the luxury of porcelain tub that we feel as if we had fallen in among the heather when after dusty journey we find that there is no bath in the pension There are always public>baths in Euro pean cities frcquented by people of re- fnement The baths are kept immacu- lately clean. and the prices charged are not high, say 25 cents for everything in- cluded--soap, towel and tip If you like a bran bath which is most refreshing, you can have sack of bran to throw into the bath for about 10 cents. There are often swimming pools in connection with these places, and the attendants are usually very good chiropodists and manicurists, as well as hair dressers. You can order a bath brought to you if you like, and it might be amusing to do this once, for a novelty These come dearer,s naturally; but all these things are part of the va ried experiences which make up the pe- cular charm and novelty of journey abroad

hand. Dinglebender and his former vil- lase friends appear on the scene trans ported to immense wealth and they have some comical adventures This part of the piece is admirably adapted for stril1- ing effects, both in scenery and in cos tunes. The ensembles are all quite elab- crate and the brilliancy of the setting is enhanced by the lighting arrangements The performance is closed by Dingle- bender awa1ing from his wonderful dream to find himself back in the homely sur romdings of Malaria Center where, after all, he has found real happiness.
 The two stars are supported by large company, including Bob Harty, who is the irrepressible real estate agent; John ny Johnson, who is funny as a country pumpkin; Dan Marble Marie Fanchon- etti and others. The chorus is strong in looks and sprightliness. The girls also wear a variety of pretty clothes. Little Chip is absurdly comical as the Dutch farmer, Dinglebender, and he makes the most of every opportunity. He has a number of comical skits that never fail to amuse. Miss Marble has a congenial role as a little village maiden and the ether members of the cast acquit them selves well.
 The specialties of Little Chip and Mary Marble were typical of their best efforts. Johnny Johnson and Robert Harty made a hit with their singing turn. Miss Fan chionetti danced gracefully.
 Dream City" is both artistic and en- .ertaining and the personality of the stars Is a guarantee that the Bijou will do a big business this week.
