Footl.all af.ira have bc.-n numerous In th I'-icirtc Northwest this year, but tha flection of an A;i-Northwest team 1 comparatively easy tH--lL Heretofore thre have b-rn many brilliant playrra from w.ilrh to draft the annual Imaginary line up, but the season of 1?"S produced only a f..- mirh men. Nearly eory team h lnrluleii a liunrh of mediocre perform- .r-. nithnuch enrh and every one ha ln;.sud of a star or two of the first order. Tho above selections have been .natle nfter a careful analysis of the snaaon's work and a systematic study of tha reconl of each man. The fact mat Home of the chosen players did not represent wlnntnit teams has cut little or no flKure, for the selections have beu m&'le on the basis of Indl idual merit. IKxlson Best End. Pod.xon. of Oregon, heads the net of en-ls. He has speed, nerve and endur nnre. follows the play carefully and knows all the essentials of the fame, He tackles fiendishly from his posi tion, runs fast and tackles with deadly accuracy under punts and Is always oa hand when fumbles occur. SavMira. of Idaho, la an excellent man at receiving forward passes and is ef fective on reirular defensive work, but Is hardly Kodaons equal In other depart ments of the (tame. Kiltx. of Oron. Is another rattling crvwl end. esrjeclally on straight defense. He was less fortunate tlran Dodson. for the reason that hl side of the defensive line was weaker and he was called upon for more than his share of work. vhl en Oreson freshman. gave promise of developing Into a classy end. hut Injuries kept him on trie siae nnea Jurtat the seuson's most Important camel. Grimm, a Washington fresh man, and Montgomery, of Idaho, de- ferve more than passing mention, as does Pobbln. of O. A. C. who closed a mediocre season by playing a great game against Washington. Pinkliam Premier Tackle. rinkham. of Oregon. Is easily the best ta-kle of the year. He tackles with ter rific force, hreaks up Interference, fol lows the ball and lights like a demon. IVw Northwest tackles have been as sl.ifry and dangerous as this man and tone have put more determination Into their piay. rinkham is regarded by lo cal critics ns the best tackle that has worn an Oregon suit since the days of Jakway ar.d Dmitri. Jmmwn. of O. A. C. Is the best of fensive ta.-klo that the season has pre ductd. 11 Is etrong and fast and when l.e omo gets under way. is a terrirlc man w th the bull. He Is Inferior to Pinkham In the d t- nsive department, but makej up for thf.-e defects by his splendid of fensivc work. 1'endergrass, of O. A. C, who whs moved out from guard, dis t .nguts' o.l h m.'.'lf by some clever play-l-i and Iv another seawin will make a tirst-chiss ta.kle. The work of Elton and Srir,'. . f Idaho; Wcxler, of Vr". 8. C. and IWintz. of Washington, was of a l:sh order throughout the season. Moull. n. of Oregon, plays a consistent gan.e at tin k. hv.i is more effective at guard Mou. ten s unquestionably the gr-atest pl.i.-e-kl.-ker on the gridiron todtiy ati.l :.!. u'.l-Sorthwest team would ho complete without him. He kicked ten held Koas d'jrin? the season and won three of tlie five victories scored bv Oregon. 11 -s kick from Idaho's W ynrd I'r.e broke the wor'd's record for d-sr.snce. the former record being 61 nrU. The other guard position goes to Hal-cock, of Washington, who Is ns of the greatest groun.l-gainers that the Northwest has seen. liaheock is easily the best guard of t1 e season, although Stokesbexry. f Idaho, and Holm, of W. A C. are both t ver men for that position. Two other g'janls who deserve praise for their con siNtert work are Evendon. of O. A. C. and Melntyre. of Oregon. Tcginieior icta Captaincy. The center position goes to Tegtmeler. cf Washington, who also gets the cap taincy' because of the god showing made by h'.s team. Tegtmeler Is a sure passer, especially for punts, and hts de fensive game is of a high order. He Is tint only a good footbail player, but a i l.-an. high-nilr..'.ed sportsman who treats h's team-mates, opponents and officials i oTirleously upon ail occasions. These u;a!!tles make Tegfmtier an ideal man for the captaincy. Kelly, of O. A. C.. Is a close second to Tegtmeler and Means. Oregon's freshman center. Is his s:. lertor on defensive work. Means, I ntvever. Is not as accurate as either Tegtmeler or Kelly on long passes tc V '9 fullback, and but for the rapid work cf Oark in punting out of ttght places. S'ne of h's wlM throws would have proved costly to O-egon. The Pendleton 1 id has put up a great game, however, and has prospects of becoming an all North west man by another season. v'hrrry. of W. S. C. Is a good man at center, but his constant holding In the line costs h'.s team more than ha Is worth in the shape of penalties, Jewell, cf Idaho, deserves credit for a good. if v 1 ' 1 ?t ' - ; i-Wif4 'Si.

' ST ' ' f f I " ' t i 5r - , . -r 5 - Lit v-f : steady game at center, as does Clements, of Whitman. Coyle Great Quarterback. Coyle. of Washington, has no serious rivals for the quarterback position. His work from start to flnleh baa been of such a high order that little comment Is necessary. His catching of punts In the Oregon-Washington game was the best ever seen on an Oregon gridiron. Coyle Is only a freshman, but be has strength and speed and knows how to drive his team In order to obtain the best results. Although he showed poor form In the Oregon-Idaho game. Quarterback Small. of Idaho, is one of the best men that the Inland Empire has ever seen. He Is versatile player and is exceptionally good In executing the forward pass. Iatourette. of Oregon, showed great form by running In Wolffs punts during the Oregon-O. A. C. game. It was Ir-rgely due to Latourette's splendid work In this department of the game that Moullen had an opportunity to kick his first Held goal. Schmidt and Brain- ard, of Whitman, both showed their abil ity to play quarterback and little Gag- non. of O. A. C Is also entitled to credit. Chandler, an Oregon freshman. displayed good generalship and passed accurately, but fumbled punts 'badly In the back field. Wolff Greatest Halfback. As an all-around halfback Wolff, tha Corvallls captain. Is entitled to first consideration. He carries the ball for steady gains. Is a valuable man In the Interference and thoroughly reliable on defense. In addition to all this. Wolff Is a punter of exceptional ability. He kicks a wicked spiral that few men In the opposing back field can handle. Wolff has speed, strength and size in his favor and would be a creditable man on any team. The other halfback position goes to Mucklestone. of Washington. Muckle stone's playing Is slmllat to that of Wolff and he has a little more speed. He is also clever In the execution of the forward pass. Borleskl. of "Whitman: Colbert, of Whltworth: Cheeley, of W. 8.. C: Johnson, of Idaho: Hurd and Main, of Oregon, all showed themselves to be halfbacks of more than ordinary worth. Main Is In a class by himself when defensive work is considered, his demon- like tackling being one of the features of Oregon's game this year. Main Is one of the few men In the Northwest that know exactly how to leave their feet and tackle with telling effect. Clark Wins for Fallback. Clark, of Oregon, is easily the best fullback of the year. His punting has been above the average and his defense shows wonderful Improvement since last season. Oregon did not have a good offensive hack field this year and con sequently Clark had little opportunity to carry the ball. He displayed good judg ment as a field general, especially In the two games on Multnomah Field. West orer, of Washington, showed good form for a freshman, while Montgomery, of W. B. C; Thornton, of Idaho, and Tan ner, the negro boy who plsyed wrlth Whltworth. all deserve cret; for their season's work. Hunt Club to Hold Election.

The contestants gave a magnificent display of skill during the first set. which was won by Australia, 6-4. Brookes made no mistakes and his service was magnificent. The second set went also to the Australians. This put the Americana on their mettle and they played bard in the third and won IV 7-6. The Australian team showed weak ness overhand. Alexander made won derful returns, and Wright's lobs wens' perfect. Both Americans served bril liantly. In the fourth set the Australians were outplayed and the Americans won, 6-1.

Zell Motor Car Co. (Jgr READ THE NOTICE AND AGREEMENT ON BACK. On Sunday, August 9,. 1908, we as signed to one of our 1909 model "30s" the stupendous task of going 200 miles a day for - ICO consecutive days four round trips daily between the Pontchartrain Hotel, Detroit, and the Hodges House, Pontiac an exact distance of 208 miles a day. There were many who said the task was too big. They did not know the car that had undertaken the task. fin Tnpsdav. November 17. 1908, the now famous car completed its one hundredth Double Century run in as many days, thereby establishing a record that has never been equaled and probably will never be surpassed. On the foilowine- dav. after making one extra trip to Pontiac, the record setting "30" was welcomed into the city in triumph by Mayor William B. Thompson and leading automobilists of Detroit. Mayor Thompson, on behalf of the Pontchartrain Hotel, presented to the Chalmers-Detroit Company a beauti ful silver loving cup, a memorial of the wonderful performance of the , JO car. In Dresentine this cup Mayor Thompson said in part: "It is my privilege this atternoon to present to the Chalmers-Detroit Motor Company this beautiful loving cup as an evidence of having made good on the assertion that one of its 1909 '30' cars could run 200 miles a day for 100 straight days. I want to say on behalf of the people of the city of Detroit that we are proud of a company that can make a car of such great stability. This is one of the most remarkable tests ever made by an automobile. It is not only a great credit to the Cbalmers-Detriot Com pany, but it is a great credit to the city of Detroit, that we have here a company manufacturing an automo bile that is able to make such a test." The "20,000-Mile Pontiao Car" made its long journey without falter ing at any stage. There were no me chanical troubles of any kind whatso ever. The total amount of gasoline con sumed on the run was 1151 gallons. This makes an average of 18.06 miles per gallon of gasoline a splen did showing. The "Pontiac Car" was the second of our 1909 "30" cars to be finished. It had been driven for more than 6000 miles through Middle Western States before it undertook the 20,000 mile test. It has, therefore, been driven fur ther than the average automobile would be driven in five seasons. Five years of service in a $1500 car. And this car is still good. It could go the route again if necessary. The performance of the Pontiac ear in going 20,800 miles in 100 days does not surprise us. We knew it could do this before it started. We are sending this Pontiao car over the roads to New York. It will start about November 28. We are going to run it all through the East and will have this car on exhibition at the New York show. We will also exhibit at the New York show the bearings which were in the car during the 20,800 miles. The first 1909 "30" car we turned out is the one that won first place in the Jericho Sweepstakes on the Long Island Motor Parkway October 10, 1908. This car is entered in the Inter national Light Car Koad Race at Sa vannah, November 25, 1908, where it will be driven by' W. R. Burns. All of our "30" cars have been built exactly to the specifications of tliese first two cars. We took the first two cars made and sent them into all kinds of tests to demonstrate the efficiency of the line. We do not build one kind of car for races and othe rtests, and another kind of car for our buyers. The cars we sell are built exactly as are the cars we send into races and tests and will perform just as well. 857 Cars Already Delivered 857 of our $1500 "30s" have already been deliv ered. Not last vear's models, but ALL OF THEJI BUILT TILTS YEAE. 857 people are actually running tliese cars. 857 people know they are the best $1500 cars made. 857 people will tell you so if you ask them. And, after all, are the users not the best judges ? Some are near you some are your neighbors, perhaps ask them what they think. We will gladly abide by their decision. If you doubt our word, get hold of a mechanical engineer; let him examine and test the other cars, and then test ours. Take his word. We will resj our claim on that. Performance Is the Test of Mechanical Fitness. The performances of our "30" car prove conclu sively the excellence of the. distinctive .mechanical features of our cars, such as the casting of the mo tor, clutch and transmission into a single unit ; the en bloc casting of the cylinders; the constant level splash lubricating system; the two-bearing crank shaft, and the body suspended between the axles on a long wheel base. Why Take a Chance? If .you were having your life insured, would you take out a policy in a company that had not already proved its stability? Would you put money -in a bank that had not proved it was sound 1 When you buy clothes, do you buy of a tailor who has not demonstrated that he can make good clothes I In all your dealings, do you not favor the man who can prove that he has made good? Then don't take a chance on an automobile. What is the use of taking a chance when you can invest your money in one that has already proved itself? The Chalmers-Detroit "30" has proved itself. IT IS NOT AN EXPERIMENT 857 USERS KNOW TIIAT IT IS NOT. The production of a $1500 car was not an after thought with us. It was not forced upon us by com petition. It is not a last year's higher-priced model cut down to meet this year's demands for a lower priced car. Any unprejudiced engineer will tell you that in point of construction it. is far and away ahead of any other car on the market selling at anywhere near its price. While we admit there are other good cars on the market we don't claim to make the only good cars yet we know that our car is of higher-grade construction than any other medium priced car. Then again, with the Chalmers "30' you don't have to experiment. Until cars have run on the road and have been given every test, and until a suffi-. eient number of cars are delivered, the manufac turer himself does not know for . certain what troubles are likely to come up. We are past all the trouble stages, having given our cars every test that can possibly be given to them. We know they are right, and we will stand back of them. We believe that any one of the 857 Thirties we have already delivered would go this same 20,800 miles in 100 days just as this "Pontiac car" did. The Chalmers-Detroit "30," 1909 model, has been put- to the test by 857 people and it has made good. Then why take a chance on a 1909 car that has not yet thoroughly proved itself?
