The reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans which conven-
ed in Birmingham last Tuesday
aud adjourned Thursday was an
inspiring occasion to every vet
eran and TO every son and daugh-
ter of a veteran present who has
the slightest appreciation for the
sublime in chivalrous manhood.
All of the sessions of the con-
ventions were interesting but
the parades were pronounced by
''old Vets" to be the best ever
witnessed.
The floral parade given We'd
nesday afternoon. which consist
ed of several hundred carriages
and automobiles was never sur
passed in any city.
The general parade on Thurs
day was witnessed by possibly
200, 900 people.
Marching beneath the hot rays
of a June sun, the gray-haired
warnsrs of the south stepped to
the tLQe of Dixie" with the
same lively stride, the same
brave purpose> faces frank and
happy, as in the days of their
triumphs on the battlefield.
Fully 5000 veterans took part
in the parade, while thousands
were unable tel take the long
walk. TIE para de began prompt
" at II o'clock, and the rear
guard left the starting point at
exactly noon, while its whole
length was an even 25 blocks.
From the commander-in-chief
to the black old negro who car
ried the chicken in his arms,
every veteran realized the warm
place which he occupies in the
heart OF the young south.
They were given an ovation
that kings never knew; not the
honor of fear, but the outburst
Of love. The crowd pressed them
close in every street and as they
cheered each step it seemed as
though the next moment they
would rush out and hug the last
one of them.
AS one of their banners pro-
claimed: Fate denied them of
victory, but crowned them with
love and glory -
And while from street, side
walk, Office building, trees and
house top the thousands crowded
and shouted their praises to the
sky, the hearts of the veterans
bounded back under the influ-
ence of martial music to their
younger days. and as they waved
their hats in answer they danced
and cut such capers as would
have done credit to much young
er men. They We're, indeed,
happy.

At no time In America has such a collec-

First and foremost are the two former

Team This Year.
SLUMP FOR TIGERS AND HARVARD
Browns Much TOuted Eleven Fails

NEW YORK. oct. 24.-secrecy Is the
order Of the day among the big college foot
hall teams. Before the middle OF Novem-
Der yale Is going to have another great
team. They didn't play foot ball at West
Point because they didn't have TO. An
other reason is that the bulldog is a very
cagey Institution. When the Blue war
rlcrs went to battle with the Army they
saw the familiar faces Of Captain Eddie
Dillon Of Princeton and Coach Roper, and
the features OF a few other well known
enemies OF Yale in the crowd. These eX-
perts we're at West Point 10 see what
Vale had TO offer in the way OF new fall
styles. They saw nothing more than any
one might have seen ten years ago. before
the forward pass and the onside kick was
ever heard OF.
Yale played straight old-fashioned foot
ball and managed to score the only touch
down that was desired in that manner. The
Army played as if they didn't dare at
tempt to score. The cadets were perfectly
satisfied to boot the bail into Yale terri
tory and play the game safe. They were
fighting for a no-score game.
In the second half the commissioner
from the other colleges saw that Yale had
one Of the strongest lines that Old Eli has
ever turned out. They saw that Coy was q
good kicker, but not always accurate They
saw that Blddle, the center rush, was a
very bad passer. lie caused Coy to bun
gle up a kick on several occasions because
he passed the ball high above The full.
backs head. They saw that the BulldoG
was endowed with the same old grit. and
that when the chance was offered fer 6
touchdown the backs were strong enough
to carry it through.
Yale Tough Proposition.
All Of the big teams are going to have
trouble beating Yale this season. II
looks like the same old story. witf
Captain Burch and other stars out the
machine worked almost as well. Not once
during the entire game did West PoinI
succeed in making a first down. In kick
ing, Dean proved to be the best man thai
the Army has had for years. but the en-.
tire team depended upon him to keep The
ball out OF danger.
In fitzpatrick, Yale has developed an
other Tom Shevlin. He is a powerfully
built fellow and has that bulldog aggres
siveness that sends him plunging through
the line every time he starts. He rum
