WILLING TO PLAY ALBANY
CORVALLIS "WISHES TO MEET COL
LEGE TEAM AT SALEM.
Oregron Agrriculttiral Eleven Manager
Sends' Challenge for Game
in December.
CORVALLIS, Nov. IS. Special.) Strong
objection Is made here to a statement in
yesterday's Oregonlan to the effect
that the Oregon Agricultural College foot
ball team has "refused to meet Albany
College at all." The statement Is uni
versal here among football men that no
such refusal has been made. Early in
the 'season any open date -was offered
Albany College for a game, but terms
could not be agreed upon, Corvallis -men
desiring the game on the Corvallis field,
and Albany College asking that it be
played in Albany. Later on, Albany Col
lege accepted terms that the Agricultural
College had proposed, but not until after
the latter's game -with Seattle had been
arranged and announced, when confirma
tion of the terms by Corvallis was out
of the question. Since the 11th day of
last October the Albany management has
made no proposal whatever, neither has it
communicated with Manager Johnson of
the "Agric" team with respect to a game.
Newspaper statements at variance with
this are wholly -without foundation, ac
cording to the statement of the Oregon
Agricultural College football manage
ment. Manager Johnson said today: "There
Is no occasion for the newspapers to talk
about the statement that the Oregon Ag
ricultural College football team has re
fused to play Albany College. There was
some talk in the newspapers a few days
before the Eugene-Corvalli3 game that
the winner was to play Albany the follow
ing Saturday. Also talk to the effect that
because Eugene and Albany had played
a tie game, the Agricultural College and
Albany should meet last Saturday. With
respect to either game, Albany College
did not challenge us. Neither has the Al
bany management communicated with me
on the subject of football since the 11th
day of last October.
"Now, as to a game with the Albany
College eleven, the Oregon Agricultural
College team is now, as it always has
been in the past, ready and willing to
make a game whenever we have an open
date. Our first available' date is the
second Saturday after Thanksgiving, and
we hereby offer to play the Albany Col
lege team on that date, on Willamette
University field, at Salem, the proceeds
of the game, after deducting expenses of
the game and teams, to go to Salem
charities."
The challenge mailed by Manager John
son, manager of the Albany College team,
is as follows:
"The Oregon Agricultural College eleven
hereby challenges the Albany College team
to play a game of football. We propose
that the game be played on the second
Saturday after Thanksgiving, December 6,
1B02. on Willamette University Field, at
Salem, officials to be Edward Judd, of
Salem, and Mr. Hutchinson, of the T.
M. C. A.. , at Portland, all expenses of
the game, including the expenses of IS
men for each team, to be paid out of the
gate receipts, the balance, if any, to be
applied on the debt of Willamette Uni
versity, or to be civeir to any Salem
charity, the deficit, if any, to be made, up
equally by the contesting teams; all play
ers and substitutes on each team to be
bona fide students, registered at their re
spective institutions at least 10 days be
fore the date of this challenge; this propo
sition to be accepted by noon Novem
ber 20.
"If this proposition Is accepted dupli
cate contracts embodying its terms are
to be signed by the president of each in
Etitutlpn, and. by the manager of each
team,' both teams to be provided with -a
copy thereof, duly signed."
WATTS ISSUES CHALLENGE.
Eugene Man Wants to Settle Cham
pionship. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Nov. 18. (Special.) Captain Homer I.
Watts, of the 'varsity football team, to
day issued an open challenge to any col
lege football team in the Pacific North
west desiring to play for the intercolleg
iate championship. Captain Watts and
his players do not claim the champion
ship, nor will they do so if they win alj
the remaining games of their schedule.
They will not, however, concede the cov
eted honor to the University of Washing
ton tor any other institution, and they
further demand a 'game with any claim
ant for the championship. Speaking -of
the situation this evening, Captain Watts
said:
"Aside from the crack Multnomah
eleven, Oregon is the only team of the
Northwest that has not been scored
against during the present season. It is
true that we have won fewer victories,
but the fact remains that the University
of Washington has no more claim to the
championship title than Oregon has. It.
is true that Washington has won every
collegiate game on her schedule, and that
the. "Evergreen team has a trifle the bet
ter of Ihe situation when Its scores are
compared with ours. Comparison of
scores, however, is a meet unsatisfactory
method of settling the question of grid
iron superiority. In 1900, Oregon was de
feated by Stanford University by a 34-to-0
score. The iext week Oregon de
feated Berkeley, 2 to 0. When Berkeley
and Stanford played a few weeks later
the latter team had the hardest kind of a
time winning, finally doing so by a score
of 5 to 0. This example, as well as many
others, only serves to remind us that
score championships are, to say the least,
very unsatisfactory. If Washington wants
the championship, she will have to play
for it. We shall openly challenge Wash
ington, or any other team claiming the
Northwest intercollegiate championship,
to a match game, to be played on Sat
urday, December 6, on Multnomah field,
or any other neutral ground. This chal
lenge is open, not only to Washington,
but to any other college team that has a
claim to the coveted title.
"Albany people admit that their team
was outplayed by Oregon last Saturday
and Albany's captain told one of our.
players that Oregon should have won by
three touchdowns. If Albany cares to
fill the date on December G we will be
glad to take them on for a game. I do
not wish the Impression to go abroad that
the University of Oregon Is laying claim
to championship honors, but as our team
is one of the strongest in the Northwest,
no other can boast of the honor without
having defeated us."
PLAY SCORELESS GAME.
Engene Second and Ashland Normal
Play in Sea of Mud.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Nov. 18. (Special.) A scoreless game was
the result of the contestyesterday between
the 'Varsity second team and the eleven
of the Ashland Normal. The game was
played on a sloppy field and in a cold rain.
Starr, Eastland and Applegate played the
game for the University, and Scott
Hoover and Hammond for the visitors.
The Ashland team will leave tomorrow
afternoon for Albany, where it will
meet the Albany College eleven on
HORSE SHOW RATHER POOR.
Chicago Mnn Won Over Philadelphia
and .few Yorlc.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18. The second day
of the annual horse show at Madison
Square Garden brought out the same large
gathering as yesterday, and presented an
equally diversified programme. The morn
ing was principally devoted to judging
hackney and trotting breeding classes,
either of which was -ery well filled.
The hackneys were generally acknowl
edged to be of poorer class than usual.
William Hobart Moore, jot Chicago, con
tinued his victorious career, winning in
the four-in-hand over the entries of Jo
seph E. Widener, of Philadelphia, Harry
Payne Whitney and A. G. Vanderbllt.
In the afternoon Miss Alice Roosevelt,
the President's daughter, was an attend
ant at the show, sitting in James W.
Hyde's box. Miss Roosevelt was also
present at night.
An accident occurred today in which
Sidney J. Holloway was severely hurt
He is the owner of the bay gelding Allis
ter, a jumping horse, and he was thrown
from the saddle. The horse's hoof scraped
nis nose, and his wrist was sprained.
REILLT DROPS TREMBLE.
Jolt on Jaw Does Worlc In Eighth
Round.
SEATTLE. Nov. 18. Tommy Reilly
dropped Ben Tremble with a short-arm
Jolt flush on the point of tha Jaw in the
eighth round tonight. Tremble had to be
carried to his corner, and it was some
time before he could leave the ring. Reil
ly nearly won out In. the second, catching
Tremble with a left shift to the Jaw that
stretched him on his back. It was neat
the close of the round, however, and
Tremble managed to last out It wai
Rellly's fight all the way, and he finished
without a scratch. He will fight Al Neill
here next month.
HIGHLAND WANTS WATER
Present Supply Is 'Inadequate but
Jiexr Main Is Being Laid.
Councilman A. F, Flegel, of the Elev
enth Ward, appeared before the Water
Committee yesterday, at the monthly
meeting, with the request that something
be done about the present water supply
in the Highland district, which is, accord
ing to Mr. Flegel's remarks, entirely in
adequate to the demand. The monthly
statements of the various committees
were read and adopted, and other routine
matter disposed of.
Mr. Flegel said in part: "Many times
during the past Summer our water has
been shut off entirely, and often we could
stop the flow by putting our fingers over
the faucets, owing to the pressure being
so low. I do not think that the supply
is too small, but that the mains are so
little that they cannot carry all that Is
used. Highland is growing most rapidly,
and if anything should be done, it ought
not to be for the present demand, but for
the demand that will occur in two or three
years from now, which will be very, great.
We have new sewers, good streets, good
schools, but we need water. We have
hoped, longed and voted for this water
for years, and It seems that we are not
going to get It at all. Instead ofs pumping
water up from Alblna, we ought" to get It
from the upper reservoir at Moun.t Tabor,
and then let it run down hill to Albina,
We want water, gentlemen, and we ought
to have It." ,
Mr. Dolph said: "There ought to be a
better system at the Alblna pumping sta
tion, and bigger pipes should be put in."
"Mr. Bates would have put in bigger
mains," said Mr. Flegel.
"Well, he owned it once. Why didn't
he?" asked Mr. Teal.
"jOh, he was going to sell the system
to the city, and thought It was all right
the way It was, I guess," said Mr. Flegel.
Mr. Ladd and Mr. Raffety then ex
plained that a 14-lnch main was being
laid into Highland, and that It ought, to
be done in two or three weeks at the out
side, so that everything would be In good
shape soon. Mr. Ladd stated that they
wanted to put In a main from the upper
reservoir) but as it could cost $200,000, they
could not do It now, though it might be
put down in the future. Mr. Dodge also
explained that as soon as the new pipe
was laid the Highland tank would be
raised and better pressure thus afforded.
Mr. Flegjel seemed satisfied, and bowed
himself out, followed by his delegation
from the Eleventh Ward, saying:
"Well, we want to thank you for giving
us hope,"
"We've, given you taffy, if we haven't
given you any water," said Chairman
Corbett. . , v
The operating pommittee reported finan
cially Os follows:
Receipts $30,177 55
Disbursements ..... 4,017 78
Balance $26,159 77
The construction committee reported
that the flow of water from the springs
under the City Park reservoirs had
doubled in the past two weeks, on account
of the rain, but that the movement of the
hill back from the reservoirs has entirely
ceased. Two crews of pipe-layers had
been out most of the time, and a great
deal of pipe had been laid during the past
month in all parts of the city.
Superintendent Frank Dodge was direct
ed to secure the City Attorney's opinion as
to who was responsible for the damage
done to the main on the Macadam road
by the explosion of dynamite used by the
laborers In improving that thoroughfare.
Mr. Teal brought up the matter of hav
ing the Water Committee lay Are hy
drants, as suggested by Chief Campbell,
of the Fire Department. This was re
ferred to the operating committee.
A petition for a main In Ea3t Thirty
fifth street was referred to the operating
committee.
It was decided that the Park Committee
be granted the right to plant shrubs and
small trees on property belonging to the
water works, for use In the parks of the
city. v
The matter of placing meters in all the
' houses was discussed, and It seemed to
be the universal opinion among those pres
ent that the present lack of water was 'due
to waste by consumers who were not care
ful. The committee seemed to tHlnk that
this waste could be stopped if meters
should be put In, and that it would be a
good idea to see what could be done along
this line.
There being no other business before the
committee, it adjourned.
NO MORMON FOR SENATE
Fight on Candidacy -of Apostle Reed
' Smoot.
SALT LAKE CITY? Nov.. 18. The Min
isterial Alliance of Salt Lake is preparing
to make a vigorous fight against the
election of Apostle Reed Smoot to the
United States Senate this Winter, and
failing in this, to carry the fight against
him to the halls of Congress. A plan for"
organized effort on this line. It is said,
has already been outlined and will be
taken up at the next meeting. The gen
eral idea, it is stated, is to make a fight
similar to that made against the seating
In the House of Representatives of Brig
ham H. Roberts.
Not only will the matter be brought
before the non-Mormons of the state, but
if the fight is unsuccessful In the Legis
lature, then an attempt will be made to
make Smoot's election a National issue,
and a petition will be drafted to Congress
asking that Mr. Smoot, as a high official
of the Mormon Church, be refused a seat
in the Senate.

THE' ALBANY
COLLEGE FOOT
BALL TEAM.
ALBANY COLLEGE, Nov. 15.
(Special.) Fred A. Edwards, coach
of tho Albany College eleven. Is

in the Northwest. He la a player
of several years' experience, and
has won distinction as a star quar
terback, having played In that posi
tion on the Oregon Agricultural
College team in ISO" and 1808. and
on the best team that the "Unlver
elty of Oregon ever had in 1809. In
1000 he was forced to give up play
ing on account of injuries, and be
gan to coach the Eugene freshmen,
who won the junior championship
of the state that year. Last year
he was coach at Albany, and the
team under his charge won the col
legiate championship of Oregon,
and this year the Albany players,
again aided by his efficient coach
ing, have turned out one of the
crack teams of the Northwest.

It shall be a foul to cross the 4-foot line
ahead of the ball, unless forced over by
an opponent, or to hang on the sides of

in the discrimination of the referee, either
be counted a foul or the referee may put
the offender out of the tank until a goal
Is scored or the Half ends."

PIANO CLUBS POPUU'
Everybody in the Deal. Mer
chants, Mechanics, Teach
ers and Physicians.
The Co-Operative Idea Applied
to Piano Buying Grows on the
People. More and More Each
Day Realize the Tremendous
Saving It Effects, and Lose No
Time in Joining.
There has been a regular helter-skelter
rush In our piano club business this week.
"Helter skelter" because the demand has
been for pianos of all classes. Heavy in
roads have been made on our very hignest
grade pianos by club joiners. Some peo
ple whi? thought we "only advertised"
have found out what Quantities of pianos
we sell, and what fine "ones, too.
They have found out also that we sell
better pianos for the price at all- times
than any other house can, because we
have facilities for handling them more
economically than other houses possess.
They have found out that the co-operative
plan which we are now offering them ef
fects another great saving in tne cost of
instruments. Pianos for which other deal
ers are asking $300 we can sell for less
than $200. All have found, too, that we
offer nothing to our customers but first
class, reliable Instruments, and that, In
fact, we have nothing else to sell.
With our written guarantee along with
that of the manufacturers going out with
every instrument, with prices practically
wholesale, and payments so very easy,
with your piano In your house as soon as
payment Is made, you are certainly get
ting a bargain in the truest sense of the.
word.
These special advantage? you make pos
sible for yourself and your .friends when
you join the nlano clubs. We can make
to the clubs, the same concessions we do
to other wholesale buyers, but which
(jould not be made to a single purchaser.
You Had Better Come In Now
Our clubs are filling rapidly. There are
nearly three hundred members already,
and four hundred is the limit. You can
pay as little as $5 down. Just think of It
Club A members pay only $5 on an x
cellent piano and then complete payments
In small weekly Installments of $1.25. And,
mind you, you have your piano Is your
house all the time, getting solid comfort
out of it every day, wltn tne music, ana

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physician and Patient Alike.
Dr. Redmond, a specialist In the study
and treatment of piles and rectal diseases,
recently stated that tho Pyramid Pile
Cure, the new discovery for the cure' of
piles', was the most remarkable remedy he
had ever seen or tried In one respect, and
and that was the Instant relief experi
enced In all cases, no matter how severe,
from the moment the remedy was applied.
This was the more surprising to him, be
cause he had carefully analyzed the prep
aration and no trace of opium, cocaine or
similar poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because It Is rap
Idly taking the place of surgical opera
tions,, and because It Is so simple, so easily
applied, and contains no mineral or other
poisons so commonly used in pile cures.
Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra
mid Pile Cure not only cures the various
forms of piles, but never falls to give
Immediate relief on the first application-,
no matter how severe the pain or discom
fort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years arc often astonished at the Instant
relief experienced from the first appli
cation. Another Important advantage Is
the fact that any one can use the remedy
without detention frcm business or Inter
ference with dally occupation.
Mr. J. W. Rollln, of Sweet Springs, Mo.,
writes: "I consider the Pyramid Pile
Cure without an equal; It cured me In less
than 30 days. I waited 15 days or more to
be sure I was fully cured before writing
you. I can now say I am cured, and J
shall recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure at
every possible opportunity because It de
serves It"
Tho popularity of this remedy Is such,
that all druggists now sell it at fifty cents
a package, and Its sales exceed those of
all similar remedies combined.

experience, reliability, etc., of a doctor or

health, the perfect and lasting recovery

ILLUSION and FRED-CURE FALLACY

ing to be cured of varicocele and kindred

cedures. Every man who is afflicted owes It to
himself and his posterity to get cured
safely and positively, without leaving any
blight or weakness In his system. The
many years of our successful practice in
Portland prove that our methods of treat
ment are certain and not experimental.

cannot be cured, will NOT accept your
money UNDER AND CONDITIONS: but
if. on examination, we find you are cur
able, we will guarantee a
Safe and Positive Cure
In as short a time as the nature and ex
tent of the disease will permit without
Injurious after effects. My charges will be
as low as possible for conscientious, skill
ful and successful services. Consult us
before consenting to any surgical opera
tion upon important blood vessels.
Premature decline signalizes the pres
ence of one or more weaknesses of the
vital system, which are due to the Inher
itance of one of the following
And all reflex complications and associate
diseases and affections.
I will save you the suffering associated
with Nervous Debility. Weakness. Prema
ture Decline. Loss of Memory, Energy and
Ambition. Nervousness. Pimples, Palpita
tion of the Heart. Shortness of Breath.
