for favorable action by the Legislature
on an abutting property paving bill con

Now that the baseball season is

ming to look around in an effort to
find a substitute for the national pas
time after the series ends this week.
Football is getting under way and
in spite Of the fact that a prediction
was made that the college game
would not be popular on account OF
the calling off of the three big eastern
classics, colleges throughout the coun-
try are holding interest in the game,
and much interest is being taken in
independent teams.
Army units are showing promise OF
being big factors in the football world
this season. Many of the country's
enlisted in various branches Of mill
tary service and practically every
company or regiment has its eleven,
some of them containing big football
players.
