By Sportsman. There has never been a time In the ' history of intercolllage football when . -so many high class kickers havs been representing so many different schools Von the gridiron. : A few years ago when the old (am was being played and al nost aU the attack was Into the line - end only an occasional end run varied the monotony, little emphasis was plaeed upon kicking except as soma . star booter of the ball was developed In some section of the country. When Poe was doing wonders with his boot for the honor of Princeton, Ms name was familiar to every follower of football in the country. He stood f 'alone during - the period In which he 1 'played as a great kicker. Later, Vt O'Day of Wisconsin, the sensational frunter and drop kicker was in the ime light and his wonderful kicking i,was the marvel of all football followers. In recent years ML Pleasant the. Indian, has pulled many games out of the fire Tor uarusie wun ms marvelous io& Cckersall, Chicago's brilliant , quarter back, won game after game against stronger teams because of his deadly aeeuracy in jilarlng the ball between the goal posts with a drop kick. Last year Capron of Minnesota, was the most talked of drop kicker In the United Slates. Throughout a long and arduous season, the Minnesota institution scored but two touchdowns and-yet lost but one game. All of her other points were scored by drop kicks made by Capron. - ----- Kicking Is Stimulated, 'The new game of football has stim- ulated an Interest in kicking. Coaches have realised that games in many cases jhav to be won by the ability of some , men to put the ball over the goal. - This year, there are so many high class . kickers that no. single one of them (i slands out alone, wnat was a rew i . years ago a marvelous accomplishment, has In the past year become an or i; dinary one. -Of aU great college teams, , the Carlisle Indians stand out conspic uously because of its many classy kickers. When ML pleasant was lost - on account of , the recently imposed . eligibility rules at the Indian school. it was believed that the Indians wouldJ be seriously handicapped without the services of this splendid kicker. But to and behold, Glen Warner had a man who was tready -tf-atep into Mt. Pleasant' boots and kick the ball Just as well as any kicker had ever done in the history of Carlisle's prowess. . ; Thorp, In the earliest games of the year, scored regularly by kicks from place ment." Two weeks ago,, Thorp was se- verely Injured and had 'to be taken out of the game, and the critics felt certain that Carlisle's chances of win tilng , games had again gone glimmer ing. But lo and behold, again the kick ing department-of Carlisle ' was not weakened a bit and' another Indian who had never before been headlined as a Uetater Electric The Service Car for All Quiet Clean Simple WE CAN MAKE IT WORTH YOUR TIME TO INVESTIGATE.

Is one of the greatest place kickers this country has ever seen. in the game against the navy last week the Indian Balanto won the game by kicking four goals from placemenL This record of scoring IS points on four kicks in one game. Is an excep tional performance. Michigan has usually had a place kicker of class, and this year In Al lerdvce they have a man who is ac complishing more with his boot than any other single man has ever done for the Malse and Blue In the kicking line.

It was so replete with sensational feat ures that the spectators got much more than their money's - worth before the final whistle was blown. A game in which the lead alternated so many times and kept the spectators on their toes from, start to finish was well worth go ing hundreds of miles to sea Idaho scored first on a fluke, score to 0 In favor of Idaho; Oregon made a place kick, score S to 4 in favor of Idaho; Oregon made another place kick, soore S to in favor of Oregon; Idaho mads a place kick, score 10 to 8 In favor of Idaho; Oregon made another place kick, score 12 to 10 in favor of. Oregon: Ore gon made a touchdown, but failed on the f oal, score 17 to 10 in-favor of Oregon; daho made a touchdown and g-ot the goal, score IT to 1 In favor of Ore aon. , After this series of alternating leads and with 10 minutes more to play, Ore gon's star player was ruled out of the game and as all substitutes had been used, were compelled to finish the con test with 10 men opposed to Idaho's 11. In spite of this serious handicap, they showed a fighting spirit that doubtless will be recited in song and story at Eu gene for many years to coma ' Instead or quitting under these clroumst&nces, they only played the fiercer and harder, and really played better ball than at any other time in the game and made 10 more points, four on a place kick and six on a touchdown, and won the game, 27 to 21. Idaho had the opportunity of doing a very magnanimous thing when Main of Oregon was ruled out Had they per mitted Coach Forbes to put in one .of the substitutes who had already played part of the game and had been removed, and finished the game on equal terms, their sportsmanship would have been an advertisement for the Idaho manage ment that would have been worth, much more than even the winning of the game would have been, under the conditions. The sympathies bf the unprejudioed spectators were with Oregon, when it was seen that the Eugene team was compelled to finish the game with but 10 men. Four place kicks made by Moullen, one from the 68-yard line; four touchdowns out of five made by flukes, and a great fighting spirit in playing the game with 10 men, are the three features that will establish the Idaho-Oregon game as one of the most interesting contests ever fought out in tne nonnweei. Who Will Wis Championship The football championship is still a mooted question. Who will win the coveted honor Is Just as doubtful a proposition now as at any time In the year. Idaho has been eliminated by Oregon and Whitman, and Whitman was set back a game in the running wnen wasningron defeated them at (Se attle, to 0. O. A. C, Pullman, Oregon and Washington are still In the run ning and have not as yet had their goal lines crossed. Pullman looks like a very dangerous factor. Last week they defeated the Bremerton navy yards team by a larger score than was rolled up by Idaho. They have a strong and experienced bunch of players and doubt less will weigh up as heavy as any team In the conference. There is a possi bility that the championship will be tied up in a comparative score squab ble. Washington is dangerous and Is a team that will doubtless grow in power and strength as the Season advances. The Washington-Oregon game next Sat urday at isugene. no doubt will De one of the hardest fought contests of the year, as both teams are about equal in weight and, in the writers judgment should be about equal in ability. O. A. C. has her first hard contest next Wed nesday, when Whitman will bs playing on the Corvallls field. This will be a hard contest for the Beavers, ss Whit man has a lineup that is as heavy as that of the O. ..A. C. boys and in the back field they have a wonderful ground gainer in Borleske. In the game against Wanhlgton. time and again they ripped through the heavy line of the Puget sound institu tion and made more gains on straight football than their opponents. Blanch ard has had the nroblem of develoDlnc a team for a very-difficult schedule, but the Missionaries will be brought to Corvallls in first-class shape and there is an even c nance that they go away with the scalps of ths Beavers. Facifio University Wins Oat. Archie Hahn's Pacific university boys st Forest Grove surprised the support ers of his team and the followers of the same in Oregon bv winning the minor college championship of this section by defeating Willamette last week. Pa cific university had been in rather hard luck, as tney lost a game to Albany that should nave resulted In a victory for Forest Grove. Punting from be hind their own goal line - the ball hit the goal post permitting an Albany man to fall on It The score at the time this accident occurred was S to 0 in favor of Pacific. Albany made a touchdown and won the contest, to 4. The score against Willamette was made hv a Dlace kick and as Willam ette was. touted as the leading secondary colloee of the state, Pacific, because of this victory, .holds tne preeminent posi tions, r T t . - Bromine, useful In medicine, chotos- ranhv. the manufacture of dyes and in certain metallurgical operations.

SEATTLE MOTORISTS ; CLIMB ML RAINIER Louis Hemrich and Rudolph Samet of Seattle, Wash., accomplished something exceptional la the history of automobll ing in the northwest last week, when In their Franklin 28-horsepower motor car h pllmhed seven miles farther lis the sIods Of Mount Rainier than had ever been attempted before, readied an altitude of 6,000 feet, and returned to Seattle again, ail wunin in roe uays. Their were accompanied bv their wives. and as the ascent required more . than usual daring, tne women were i rig op ened. "Several times I was so unnerved," said Mrs. Samet, "that I turned with a shudder away from the edge of .the precipice, and looked In the other direc tion. If one should offer me 15,000 to make the. trln i train. I would reruse. The scenery, though, was marvelous. "Both mv husband. I and Mr. and Mra Hemrich have traveled all ever Europe and explored the Alps and the Black Forest, but we agreed that there is nothlna In the old country that sd- & roaches the grandeur we viewed in the asoades. I know positively, too, that there is no road in the AIds on which as high an ascent may be made in an automoDiie as we accomplished last week" SAVANNAH RACE TO ECLIPSE VANDERBILT Now that the Vanderbllt race is over, it will not be disloyal to the American Automobile association to say that the Savannah race will so far eclipse the event on Long Island that America's former premier event will have been forgotten when the race in the Sunny Southland has been run. The dmries for the vanaertmt race were nmde and- the event was note worthy inasmuch as records were brok en in spite of the fact that among the entrants there could be found Bona la cars of the very latest vintage. The race In Savannah will be a con test of later models and of greater ears. and Germany, Italy, France and Amer ica will supply their best for this event Twenty-two cars at least will fight for the grand prise and for the fortune Which will o to the winning drivers. The demand for accommodations on the special boats and the special trains to Savannah has been so enormous that the railroads are forced to admit that no previous event ever attracted as muen southward travel, not even the Ormond meets ef tfi past SORREL HOUSES ARE SAFEST FOR AUT0IST Sales Manager Charles B. 8hanka of the F. . B. Stearns company of -.Cleveland, Ohio, says: . "An automoblllat should pay attention to the color - of horses he meets The .reason for this is thst a white horse Invariably means danger, and. will In nine out of ten cases ditch ths occupants of ths vehicle he is pulling by either backing or going sideways. "I have made a study of the horses I have met while driving an auto, and find that the only ones who are abso lutely safe are the sorrels. Tou can go past i them at whatever speed you want to and be perfectly safe. Next to the sorrels the blacks and bays are the best natured. Of the latter two -the bays are the better. It seems strange that the color of a horse should havs anything to do with his disposition, nevertheless it has been proved time and again that white horses are the most vicious, and care shtHild be taken in passing them."
