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.

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.

they played bard in the third and won

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,

and Brookes failed In his overhand
work.
It was now two sets-all and. when

match.
When tho result was seen, the ap

The final set was a wonderful dis
play of skill and endurance. The
Americans won the first two games
straight. Then the Australians made
a final rally. Alexander lost the serv
ice when the score was two-all. He
lost the service again when the score
was: Australia 4. America S. This
standing was greeted with a wild out
burst of enthusiasm. The voice of the
umpire could nut be heard because of
the cheering of the crowd. Australia
then put the score 5-4. and It was

(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?
The only man who doesn't praise the Chalmers "30' is a man who doesn't own one."
