Love, in the opinion of the writer OF
the following letter, is such a trifling
thing that one can give it up for a
few dollars and cents and never re-
greet the bargain.
Sometimes one has to be deprived to
little of love. He will cherish it be-
yound all things when he has put il
forever beyond his reach.
He writes: q" I am "a. and have for
eight years been sweethearts with

girl who thinks a great deal of me

Men have married and saved money on

all the way.
You say you have no chance of bet

There might be worry with a wife

is built about love is not such a heavy
affliction- 1t is the worry that hedges
around indifference or dislike that frets

You are free man. now. Would you
be a free man if you married for

I hope you have pride in your good

Go back to Austria as you have

much treachery in the world, the fates
were kind in giving you woman who

Marry her love her. cherish her, and
never let her know that for a moment
you were so base as to think of trading

notice at Auburn, and he will undoubtedly prove valuable addition to the lineup this season.
 Mcdowell and Harsh
 At the University of Alabama, Holt Mcdowell and Bill Harsh, varsity half backs for two seasons, are regular fix-, lures on the Crimson lineup, and their work there has been of the highest or- der. McDowell captain of the Alabama baseball team for 1912 and captain-eiect for the same team for the coming sea- son, is the best all-round athlete at the university. Slightly handicapped by lack of weight, he is fast and gritty, and is typical representative of the fighting warriors who go to compose the thin red line' at the university. His work on the gridiron for two seasons has won for him quite bit of commendation from various critics of the game.
 Harsh's work has also been ah im- portant factor to the Alabama eleven for two seasons. He is exceptionally strong on defence. Harsh is another local High school boy to make good as a college athlete He played halfbaclS at the High school in 1908.
 As whole Birmingham boys arc ma,s- ing a thoroughly creditable showing as college athletes, and Birmingham may well be proud of their work. And this has been the case for many seasons. There are few followers of the game who can't recall with pleasure the work of Bill Streit and Smith Cullum at Wash- ington and Lee, Joe Mudd with the State university, Mccoy and Caton with Au- burn and many others who have won names for themselves and their city on college gridironS.

Birmingham has reason to be proud of the showing that its young athletes are making on the college gridirons several of the leading college. aggrega- tions of the south, but on some of the very best football squads of the coun- try.
 And In sending out men this fall who are making names for themselves as football artists, Birmingham is only duplicating its record for many sea- sons past Members of the Athletic club, the Y. M. c. A, the Birmingham High school and various other local organizations where attention Is given to athletics, have furnished the various colleges of the country some of their very best athletes.
 Among the Birmingham boys who are winning distinction as pigskin ar lists this season are Bradley Streit with Princeton, Percy Mcdonald with the University of Virginia, Wingo and Maxim with Auburn. and Harsh and Mcdowell with the University of Ala bama.
 Bradley Streit Starring
 Bradley Streit, former All-Southern fullback with Auburn, and now var sity man on the champion Princeton eleven, is destined to be one of the leading football men of the country. He was once captain of the Birmingham High school football team, member of the Athletic club, and besides being a gridiron artist is an all-around ath- lete of known ability. He was captain of the Princeton freshman eleven last fall, and although he is handicapped this season by an attack of typhoid fever from which he suffered this sum mer, he is member of the varsity Tiger squad at present, and is expected to win regular position as fullback on that eleven.
 Percy Mcdonald, varsity man at the University of Virginia, Is another Birmingham boy who has shown much ability in moleskins. He is heavy and still fast, and has made a thoroughly creditable record on the Virginia grid iron.
 Wingo and Maxim
 Prominent among the football candi- dates at Auburn are Wingo and Maxim, two local athletes who will in all prob ability be among Coach Donahue's var sity men this fall. Wingo, a former captain of the local High school, was 9. varsity man at Auburn last season, being one of the very few men who have made their letters there during their first year in college. Although light, he is exceptionally fast and heady, and proved an efficient general with the A. P. l. aggregation last sea- son. In fact so satisfactory was his work that Newell. Auburn's quarter back for some seasons past, who has several mentions for a position on the All-Southern eleven, will probably be shifted to halfback this season, while Wingo will be used at quarter.
 Maxim has been a candidate for the varsity lineup at Auburn for two sea- sons, and in the absence of several star linesmen this year Donahue will probably find regular varsity position for the Birmingham boy this fall His work as scrub man has brought him considerable

University, September 2S.-(Special.) Alabama opened the football season here this afternoon by defeating the Marion preparatory eleven 52 to 0.
 The Alabama backs ran wild around Marion's ends and ploughed through her line with ease Tho Crimson line was a tower of strength and her ends were rarely circled. Marion' succeeded in making first down only four times. Alabama resorted to end runs and straight bucks with an occasional for ward pass and did not at any time punt the ball. Alabama started the game by kicking to Marion. No return was made and they were held for downs A for ward pass to A. Vandegraaff put the ball on Marions 30-yard line Marion penalized 10 yards.

HARVARD WINNER
 IN INITIAL GAME

In a game somewhat marred by wrang- ling and many fumbies. the Howard Bap- lists defeated the Jacksonville Normal College yesterday afternoon in the first football game of the year in Birming- ham, by score of to 0.
 With the teams of about equal weight. the game was hotly contested through out. and neither aggregation was able to gain consistently. Both teams used main off tackle playes being used practically all of the time. Howard resorted to end runs occasionally and netted most of her gains on these plays. Only twice during the contest were forward passes at tempted both times by Howard. One of these was successful netting the local Collegians some Ia yards.
 For Howard the work of Robinson at quarter and Tisdale at left half deserves special mention, while Petty at quarter and Sisson at full, did excellent work for Jacksonville. Robinson for Howard his offensive work being at times brtl- liant.
 Howard scored all of her points in the third quarter on a safety when Berry tackled Jacksonville runner behind his goal line, and on a % yard run by Tis- dale for touchdown. Robinson missed goal.

beginning to take on more formidable opponents.
 Princeton meets Lehigh at Princeton Yale meets Syracuse at New Haven, and Harvard meets Holy Cross at Cambridge. There is no doubt but that Princeton. Harvard and Yale will each be victorious in these contests, but the teams thry are to meet are by no means of the prep. variety. They will force the great az gregations of the probable victors to bring into play some of their tactics upon which depends their strength this season. Thus in these games can be obtained some idea as to how the coaches of these major institutions intend to take advant- age of the new football rules, and how they are going to formulate their attack and defense in accordance with them.
 The Carlisle Indians meet Washington and Jefferson at Washington Saturday. The Indians should prove easy winners. They undoubtedly have a great machine this year, and one that is going to be heard from when it comes to picking the college champions this season.
 Pennsylvania plays Dickenson college at Philadelphia, and while she should have an easy time winning the contest, it must be taken into consideration that Penn's line is weaker this year than in some years past, and that this will, dur ing the early part of the season at least, handicap her ability considerably.
 With the games Saturday football un- der the new rules really comes into play The four down rule, the 10 yard goal zone for foTepasses-these changes will be put into operation in styles of play that will demonstrate their results as to the game. With these games football critics the country over can begin to draw a line upon the various squads their relative strength and weakness, and their room and chance for improvement.

CAVALRY HOLDS TECH TO
 NOTHING TO NOTHING COUNT

Atlanta. September 2S.--(Special)-On a muddy field and in steady downpour of rain. Georgia Tech and the Eleventh cavalry battled four quarters of 10 min utes each here today to nothing and nothing count.
 Tech gained the most ground and really outplayed the heavier cavalry team all the way, but fumbing cost them a chance to score. Every tumble that they made found soldier straddling the ball.
 Tech rushed the ball 70 yards in the third quarter, only to lose it on the 10 yard line on the first down with a touch- down in sight The soldiers never even threatened Techs goal line.

 Although there were many preliminary contests all over the country yesterday, the real 1912 gridiron season may be said to start with the games which will be played on October 3. Coaches have now had time to note any effects that the new rules are going to have on the game, to adapt their style of play to these changes, and to begin to work tho rough places out of thier lineups The players themselves have now had time to grow familiar with the recent changes. and after more than months work should begin to show their real form
 The games last week were in a way ex- periments. The various coaches were merely getting a line on their new men. experimenting with the new rules, and analysing the strength and weakness of their style of play. This week it is diff ferent. The gridiron machines through out the country are beginning to form

MANDY. ROLLS UP
 A LARGE SCORE

Nashville, September 2S.-In a vertiabls sea of mud Vanderbilt opened her foot- ball season here this afternoon by de- feating Bethel college 105 to O the largest score ever piled up by the local college boys. Vanderbilt scored her first touch- down on a wide end run by Collins from the center of the field. three-quarters of a minute after the kickoff. From that time on it was merely a question of what the score would be. McGugin used Sultz against Bell during the greater part of the game.
 The feature runs were made by Rob- ins. who made a touchdown from lxick-off; Chester, who carried the ball 60 yards for a touchdown, after receiving a forward pass, and consistent gains by Collins, SiSes and Hardage. Cody, for Bethel, played a great game against insurmount- able odds.

Longevity CaIcuIarIons.

According to Buffon, the life of man "can" last six times as long as it takes him to become fully developed; ac- cording to Bacon and Huf1and, eight times as long. Now, since man is not considered in the anatomical sense completely mature before the twenty fifth year of age, his life, according to the last named two authorities, "could' last 200 years. But, as a mat ter of fact, outside the Bible, there is no record whatever of such long lives. Among the extraordinary cases of long. evity on record and well attested is that of the Englishman, Thomas Parr, who lived happily at Shropshire to the age of 152 years. The celebrated Harvey, who dissected him after death, found his body in excellent condition, and stated that had 1t not been for his intemperance he might have lived much longer. A census taken under Emperor Vespassin showed in the relatively small territory of Italy alone so persons over 100 years old, and among these are two had reach ed the age of 140. The census of the United States for 1900 shows 3,981 centenarians, and that for 1910 3,504 (males 1,271, females, 2,333). These figures have only dubious value, and merely because the vanity of some old people causes them to claim their age much higher than it really is. but for the fact that the majority of these centenarians are ignorant per z0na 2622 neprOea HI Indiana and three Mongolians), whose statements as to their ages cannot be relied upon.
