Rhodes Scholar Wins Place on
Rugby Team at English
University

H. r. Stolz, the former Stanford ath-
Rhodes scholar at oxford university,
has made good at Rugby in the English
university. From present indications
Stolz will be one of the main stays of
the oxford university back division this
year and will have little trouble In
making his blue" against Cambridge
this year. The earning of the blue is
as great an honor to an Oxford man as
the earning the big "C'' at California
or the IS" at Stanford and has the same
significance. The Athletic News of
England, speaking of Rugby at Oxford,
has the following to say about the CAL

was the fastest three-quarter back on
the field. He is an acquisition to the
team, and besides being a Rugby man
is an athlete of repute"
Stolz was one OF the Stanford varsity
squad for the last three years. Though
he never made the varsity team he was
on the reserve list in last years game.
He played both on the three quarter
line and at five -eghths at Stanford In
many of the games against the Olympic
and Barbarian clubs and was always
looked upon as an able man by the
local critics., though he had not quite
class enough to make the final varsity
team.

FORTY.EIGHT HOUR
GRIND FOR AUTOS
Oakland Show viii Open With
Hardest Contest Ever
Held in California
BY R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

one of the hardest automobile endur-
ance contests ever attempted will be
part of the automobile show over in
Oakland. The premier test of endur-
ance and reliability for the motorists
of California heretofore has been the
u hour run held by the automobile
dealers of San Francisco in 1908 and
1909. This year the contest was not
held on Decoration day, as it inter-
fered with the other contests
Many dealers, however. wished that
the event had been held, for it proved
much to the owner and prospective
buyer. Knowing this the dealers
across the bay have decided to hold an
from Saturday night. This will be the
evening that the show opens. AS many
of those who have taken part in the
previous contests wished to see the
contests made harder each year, those
in charge of the event have decided to
make it 4S eight hour contest under
the same rules which governed the
previous contests.
The start will Sbe a the show. The
cars will proceed down to San Leandro
and thence over the same course on
which the other contests were held.
Every two hours the cars will check in
at San Leandro, penalty time being the
twelfth, twenty fourth, thirty-sixth and
forty-eighth hour. The last lap on
Monday night will end at the show
from the point where the start was
made.
This is going TO be hard event of
over 1900 miles, for the bonnets will
be sealed as well as the cars carrying
an observer. The engine can only be
stopped for tire trouble or when tax
ing gasoline or oil in the control at
San Leandro. 1t Is the first time that
such a hard test of the length of time
has ever been held in the United States.
Entry blanks will be issued on Friday.

RHEUMATISM
WEAK KIDNEYS &THIN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work OF
removing the waste of oxodized tis-
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain IN the circulation. soon
forming uric acid which DESTROYS the.
greater portion of nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and Joints
the uratic irnpurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
