WHEN A GIRL MARRTES

how cautious you were. Then you'll

Whereupon Carlotta sturges vanished

rushing right up from my heart to my
cheeks. Certainly this slangy, bolster
Gus girl must be very near the ragged
edge Of the heutenant's good will, and
yet she was willing to permit me to
use her caution and forethought to my
own advantage.
''Pll tell the lieutenant before the
evening is over" 1 promised myself.
But then the dinner rush began and
was so busy making change and offer
ing smiles that left long after $3.50,
without thought of my opportunity to
say a good word for the girl who had
so generously helped me through my
first day.
Carlotta Sturges walked up the street
with me to my car line, and as she was
leaving me she said carelessly.
Glad 1 was there to wise you up a
little, Mrs. II. May not see you again

So l thanked her, said goodnight and

Q. What Government department is

r. f. G..
A. The Department of commerce says
the paper suits are not made by the
Government. The Department of Com
meree did have several suits made which
were an exhibition in Washington. This
exhibition is to encourage manufac-
turers to make suits of this kind which
would bring down the price of wooden
and other clothing. so far the Depart
ment of Commerce has not succeeded in
having manufacturers take up this line
of work. These suits will be exhibited
all over the United States and will stay
in large cities from ten to twelve days.
Paper suits are now on exhibition in
an Indianapolis clothing store.

ARMY TO SEEK
SWEET REVENGE
Hopes to Get Navy Next
Year-One Seat
for 1921 Game

IFS all over this year. But
there's going to be a royal tug O.
war next year. We're talking
about the annual muss between the
Army and. Navy. The Navy went
and did 1t by crossing the Army
line this year. for a lone touch.
down, thereby making the count
eleven-eleven.
The sailors had 70 win three
years in succession to do 1t, but
they finally got the score eVened
up, the Army having been lordinT
it over them for eight years-the
longest time either team has ever
held the supremacy in the number
OF games won.
The Army and Navy began play
ing each other in 1890. In 1905 the
Army had forged ahead three
games. In 1912 the Navy managed
to be ahead by two games and tnen
the Army took the lead with a
string OF four straight victories
And now comes the Navy back and
finally ties the thing up again, both
teams having won eleven games
and tied one. So they're now get
ting ready for the big tussle that's
to come of next year to see who's
going to keep out In front.
This years contest between the
two service teams was one of the
prettiest sights football fans have
ever witnessed. The Polo Grounds
were jammed to the very limit,
10000 getting in some way, al
though there were but $4,000 tick
cts. And three times that many
applied for tickets. Two teams
could not have been much more
evenly matched up until the time
French OF the Army booted mis-
cradle punt out Of bounds and
thereby started the Navy on the
way to port.
But just figure for yourself what
it's going to be next year with bon
teams tied in the number Of games
won and the rubber as the prlSc
for winning.
Says Coach Folwell:
Next years clash between the
Army and Navy is likely to be re-
garded as classic and 1t is prob
able that both teams will 80

But now a punt Of more than forty
five yards is a thing to be mar
yelled at. The strategy OF direc-
ton, too, has been oYerdone and
we now see modern punters kick
ing weakly out of bounds in unnec-
essary attempts to place the ball
in certain territory. Even our big
gest games saw punting Of medic
ere quality, although Scheerer OF
Princeton, was a shining excep-
ton.
While one may not agree with
Haughton as to the remedy, he
seems to have placed his finger on
the weak spot. Moderately and In
telligently used, the forward pass
is spectacular and brilliant. 1t is
a distinct addition 10 the game OF
football, and makes It a better
game to watch and a better game
to play. But 1t is coming more and
more to be used as last desper'
ate gamble. Ohio State threw a
forward pass in the last second OF
play, good fortune plus a certain
amount of skill directed the bail
into the arms of an Ohio State
player, and the Western Confer
ence championship was decided.
Yale, six points behind Harvard IN
the last quarter, filled the air with
forward passes which had no skill
or cunning or deception behind
them. But II one Of them had
found its mark, Yale would have
had six and probably seven points
to its credit and might have won
from team obviously Its superior.
Modern football is a good idol to
worship, even though coaches and
players are beginning to discover
that It has clay feet. No one wants
return to the old days OF smash
ing and battering. But neither
does any one want such a heavy
diet Of the new football that the
fundamentals of the old shall be
neglected. A lot of the so-Called
science and strategy and fluff OF
ultra.modern football might be re-
moved without great loss.
China invented gunpowder and
popularized firecrackers.

Makes Comment.


The New York Times In a gen
eral review of the present football
year thinks that several dangerous
tendencies and defects In play
came to the surface which should
be checked, and that the game
should not get TOO far away from
fundamentals. Says the Times:
The 1920 football season, great
as it was in many respects, dis
closed several dangerous tenden-
cies and defects Of play that should
be checked as soon as possible. To
a great extent Percy Haughton was
right when he said the other day.
while deploring the excessive use
of the forward pass, that football
is straying away from Its funda-
mental aspects. Modern football
certainly scaled new heights this
year. But the pendulum seems to
have reached the end OF its swing,
and more than one observer is now
looking for a movement In the
other direction; back to those fun
damental aspects that Haughton
mentioned in his statement.
inc season just C'OSou F4NOtHOiJ
will go down in history as the year
in which the art OF punting reach
ed its lowest stage. A fitting eli
max to the season was the exhibit
ton of kicking in the Army-Navy
game on Saturday. Before catch
ing and throwing q forward pass
became the great art, ambitious
young men used to practice hours
in kicking a football. They wdrk'
ed diligently in an effort to get
distance, height and direction, and
the fruit Of their efforts was used
by coaches as an effective weapon.
