NEITHER ONE DEFEATED Army and Naty Will Struggle In Closing. Football Game of fceaton at Philadel phia Today. . N fci W YORK, Nov. 28. With the an nual game between the Army and Navy at Philadelphia tomorrow, tlte football season of 1908 is brought to a close, leaving the ranking of the teams and the selection of the various AU-Aurl-can elevens to occupy the followers of tile sport. Perhaps the chief thing demonstrated by this year's contests was that the so called minor colleges are no longer to be despised. The Navy tied Harvard, and Brown held the crimson to a 6-to-2 score this Fall: Dartmouth defeated Princeton, while Syracuse and AA'est Point held the men from New Jersey to a 0-to-0 tie. and Xale was able to score one touchdown only against both Syra cuse and the Army. v Game Here to htuy. Another fact as brought out is that new" footbail has come to stay. As now played, the game is far more open and hence more Interesting to the spec tator and less harmful to the players. Punting, field goal kicking and trick plays have reached a greater development than ever before, while the forward pass Is generally admitted to be one of the prettiest plays in foot jail. It can liardiy be said that the revised game has reached as high a development In the West as in the Bast. Michigan, which, for years, had one of the strong est gridiron teams in the country under the former rules, has recently suffered successive defeats by Eastern colleges, being decisively whipped this year by both Pennsylvania and Syracuse. Chicago held Cornell to a tie this sea son, but Cornell was easily defeated by Pennsylvania two weeks later. Minne sota took tlit .Indians inio canip by a. score of 11 to S. but Carlisle had already been beaten, 17 to 0, by Harvard. Then the Indians are notoriously erratic and they are said not to have played up to their standard at Minneapolis. Clear Record for Season. The ranking of the teams this year, as always, is difficult and largely a matter of personal opinion. 1 here can be little dispute, however, that the choice of the Nation's best eleven lies between Pennsylvania and Harvard, both of which went Through the season undefeated. Probably most critics will rank hb the six leading teams in the Kast (exclusive of the Army and Navy) Harvard. Pennsylvania. Yale, Dart mouth. Brown and Princeton, In the order named. In the West there is no question of Chicago's leadership. She has won every game piayed except that against an Eastern college, Cornell. Next probably would come AVIsconsin, then Minnesota. TIDE GRABS CLAM DIGGERS Horse and Wagon Lost and Two Men Burely Kscape Alive. ABERDKEN. Wash., Nov. 2a. (Special.)

S. Bochtel had an experlencff Tuesday that they do not care to repeat. The two men, who are well known on the Harbor, have been engaged in digging clams for Schafer's clam cannery, at Moclips. As they were driving along North Beach, near Iron Springs, they were unexpectedly caught by a high tide In a place where it was impossible lo make their escape. They were engulfed in the surging sea and thrown into the water. . While the men battled for their lives, their horse and wagon and all that the wagon contained of outfit and supplies were carried out lo sea and lost. The men had an extremely narrow escape from the surf where they were bruised and beaten. Mr. Bechtel being thrown upon the sand Insensible. They consider it a miracle that they escaped at all.
