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. It is expected that
several chances will ba made In the line
up this week and etartllng revelations
may be looked for before the gams with
Idaho at Moscow, next Saturday.

LA GRANDE, Or., Oct 24. (Special.)-
The churches of this city were practically
deserted last night, trie people turning
out en masse to hear the lecture deliv
ered by David S. Rose, of Milwaukee,
on "The Fallacies of Prohibition." A
larae portion of the audience were W. C.
T. U. women who, on being noticed by
tha speaker, were complimented for be
ing In attendance.
Mr. Rose spoke for two hours, outlin
ing in a concise manner the experiences
of other states in the Union with prohi
bition, and stated that nearly every one
of them that had tried prohibition bad
abandoned it as a failure.
As a remedy for the saloon evil and a
club over the "blind pigs," "Kitchen bars"
and "bootleggera." the adoption of the
home rule bill waa urged.

TREATMENT OF
RHEUMATISM
Should Be Directed Toward
Restoring the Blood to Its
Normal Condition. .
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 treatment of the disease should be
directed towards restoring the blood to
its normal strength for unless it is pure,
rich and red the rheumatic poisons can
not be driven from the system. 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." '
Dr. Williams Pink Pflls are guaran
teed to be free from opiates or harmful
drugs.
It yon are interested in the remedy
that cured Miss Hall, write today for a
copy of the new edition of our book on
"Diseases of the Blood." It contains in
formation that may save you money and
suffering.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on

"The Liver PAIs act
So Naturally and
Easily."
Such a statement, coming from
the cashier of a bank, shows what
confidence responsible people have
in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson
after trying them wrote:
I have used Dr. Mil en' Nerve
end Liver PUls and also your
Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with
erood results. The Liver Pills
act so naturally and so easily
that I scarcely know that I
have taken a pill. Frequently
being troubled with headache 1
take an Anti-Pain Fill and get
immediate relief to every case."
A, L. Wilson, Sparta, 10.
Mr. Wilson was for a number
cf years cashier of the First
National Bank of Sparta,
Dr. Mile
Nerve and Liver Pills
are different from others. Many
kinds of liver pills are "impossible"
after one trial on account of their
harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and
Liver Pills do not act by sheer force
but in an easy, natural way, with
out griping or undue irritation.
They are not habit forming.
If the first bottle falls to benefit, your1
druggist will return the price. Ask him.
