CHUGK' TAYLOR MARVEL 1 OREGOX "XT" FOOTBALL TEAM'S WORK TALK OP COAST. Clever Halfback Proves Maklnff of Another Eckersall In Scoring: Touch-Down Record. rXTVERSITT OF OREGON'. Buffene. Or.. Oct. 24. (8peclnl.) Football en thusiasts are at II talking of the remark able game of citurday and the wonder ful feat accomplished by Captain "Chock'" Taylor. The Oregon team made i touchdowns. 10 of which were made by Taylor. Kenton. Latotirettn and Chandler each made two. and Means, Kay and Battel! contributed one each. Sixteen of these touchdowns were con verted Into goals, Taylor kicking 14 and Chandler J. Taylor missed two attempts and the other instance waa a failure to "heel" a punt. Taylor kicked one goal from placement. This score aggregates a total of 114 points, S7 of which were contributed by Taylor himself. The football authorities hero feel cer tain that Taylor's performance estab lishes a world'a record for Individual playing. The score registered by the Oregon team eclipses everything in Pacific Coast Inter-colk-glate football history and comes near equalling the great record made by Minnesota In 1903 wlien they de feated Grinnell College 135 to 6. Tha Northwest record was formerly held by the Oregon team, bavins; been made in the daya of Dick Smith and Clarence Bishop. In S9g they omothsred the old Portland University by tha score of S3 to nothing. Though he scored no points, the work of Bob KelloBK wns largely Instrumental in the game Saturday. Nearly all of the passes were long ones but the work of the big Oregon center waa atwlft and accurate. Thu account for the fact that the varsity made only one or two fumbles, which is a remarkable record for the open style of play. Latourette's generalship and tho punt lnff and open field work of Latourctte and Fenton were great factors In deter mining the size of the score. Oregon relied mainly on trick plays and open work, reporting to the forward pass and on-alde kick with frequent success. The fighting qualities displayed by tha plucky little Methodists won the respect of the Oregon supporters. They are gen erally conceded to be the gamert crowd of loaera who ' have ever appeared on KlncakJ Field. Crippled and sore from their telling defeat, the Tacoma men left today In company with Coach Wright and Trainer Riley for Solem," where they meet their Methodist brethren on tna Willamette Held. Monday afternoon. While It is evident that Coach Warner and hie assistants are pleased with the showing mado by their men. they are by no meana confident of victory over the Agricultural College.

Every Sufferer Will Bo Interested in This Case at Snohomish, Waak, Which Waa Corodby the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In an attack of rheumatism the blood is rendered thin and weak with amazing rapidity.

The experience of thousands of sufferers haa been that there is no better blood build er than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thej quickly enrich and purify the blood and make a permanent cure. While using the pills a light nourishing diet should be taken and exposure to cold, dampness and draughts avoided. The cure of Miss Marguerite Hall, oi Snohomish. Wash., by this treatment, was recently described by her mother, Mrs. G- 8. Hall, as follows: "A few years ago my daughter, Marguerite, was suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism. Her limbs were swollen to about twice) their normal size and the pains extended from the knees to the feet. The pains were constant and were so intense that I could scarcely move her. "I applied liniments and bandaged the limbs for some time but there was no im provement. I finally bought a few boxes of Dr. Willi ami' Fink Pills. The pills helped her very quickly and I gave them to her until she was entirely cured. She has not had an attack since. I may also say that I have used the pills to build up my system, I shall always be grateful for the benefit Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have given us."
