Northern Trip

The following telegram has just been
received by Secretary Craig OF the U.
S. c. law school from Manager Tag
CART, who has been arranging for games
with the northern schools:
ARRANGEMENTS with Berkeley and
Stanford closed today. Play Stanford
October 20 and Berkeley November 2.
Colleges enthusiastic over adoption or
Rugby by law school. Start practice
as soon as possible"
The above telegram speaks for itself.
Manager Taggart went north few
days ago to arrange for the games, and
that he has been successful is highly
gratifying to the friends of the law
yers and, In fact, to all lovers OF foot
ball in the south. 1t is recognition
Of the law school that can hardly pc
mistaken. With this northern trip In
sight. Coaches Higgins and Lewis are
assured of plenty of material to start
regular practice in a few days.
The prospects for winning team are
a great deal brighter than the coaches
have dared anticipate. 1t is definitely
known that some of the best Rugby
players in the south will register at the
law school next week. Coach Lewis
states that the team will be composed,
in the majority, of experienced players,
and it may be stated that the baFris-
ters will give the northern teams a
hard fight.
other trips that have been prac-
tically arranged are to Redlands, River
side and Santa Barbara. These, with
the other high school games and the
northern trip, win give the lawyers
one of the best schedules of the
Southern California colleges.

FOOTBALL At OXY
HAS FINE OUTLOOK
Last Years Style of Play SpIen-
did Preparation for
New Code

Never have the prospects been better
for turning out a championship football
eleven at Occidental than at the open
ing of this school year. The style of
play used last year was directly pre-
paratory for this years revised rules.
No team in the south worked as many
successful forward passes, fakes or
haze plays as did last years Tiger
team.
Coach Wieman has nucleus In seven
of last seasons varsity on which to
build his team. He has the advantage
as have few coaches-of knowing the
strong and weak points of these men
from the inside, for he has played
alongside them for several seasons.
Harold Landreth will captain the
team this year and hold down left
tackle position, which he has so ably
filed for the past two years. Patter-
son, "Old Pat" who has held his place
on the varsity for three years, has been
In the oil fields this summer. building
up beef and Drawn to maintain his old
place.
The Smart brothers will be back on
the right side of the line at tackle and
guard, as will Hopkins, who figured
great deal in last years open play.
Only two OF the backs will return,
Drury Wieman and George Baer. Ru-
NOR had it that Baer would not play
CflS season. 1Il15 is Untrue, although
it is probable he will play on the line
at end, and that Seay, who was a SUBJ
stitute last year, will be tried out for
the quarterback position.
OF last years punters, Drury Wieman
is the only one left. He has been train
ing all summer, and is expected to
equal his brother in this department
of the game, which is an important one
under the new rules.
Much of last years strength came
from the vigorous and husky scrub
team, many of whom will be on hand
at the first practice, September IA.
McKinny, sub center; Blee and Culp,
sub tackles; Brier, sub guard; Seay
and Gould, sub ends, and SchoonoVer
and McKelvey, subs in the backfield,
will all be on the gridiron to try out for
places on the varsity.
Bradbeer who was kept out of foot
ball last year by parental objections,
will play this year, and bids fair to
make a position in the backfield.
OF the freshmen nothing definite will
be known until they are actually seen
In their moleskins. A number of men
with interscholastic regulations, how
ever are coming to Occidental. Jones
of Pasadena high school, McNay of

Bernardino will attend Oxy this year.
The indications are that the team will
be light, but one of the fastest ever
produced by the Highlanders.

PAUL., CRACK DISTANCE
RUNNER, WILL RETIRE

NEW YORK, Sept. S.--Wilton PAUL.
of the New York A. c. says that he
does not intend to keep up his running
and that he will retire after the next
intercollegiates. Soon after the games
are held PAUL will graduate from the
University of Pennsylvania and as he
has planned for an active business
career he says that he will not be able
to give any time to running.
There is no doubt that PAUL is run
ming better than ever before. The race
he put up against Sheppard for two
thirds of a mile in Newark was a sur
prise, and his mile in 4 minutes % 1-5
seconds at Celtic park was a wonder.
That time was equal to 4.1e on wind
less day. "Two-thirds of mile Is too
short distance for me-" writes PAUL.
''but I'm going we'll for distances over
that"

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE,

Princeton People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney Disease.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
SO unimstakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full OF sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may occur
and the victim is often weighed down
by a feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is
danger of dropsy, Bright's disease or
diabetes. Any one of these symptoms
is warning enough to begin treating
the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal. You can use no better
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's Princeton proof: William J.
Appleagte, Princeton, Mimi, says:
"While serving in the army, I con-
tracted a severe case of kidney
trouble. My.back was very weak and
panied me almost constantly. The
kidney secretions were too frequent in
passage and on this account was
obliged to arise many times during
the night. The secretions were also
highly colored and at times contained
q sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills
were finally brought to my attention
and I procured box. I was very
much pleased with the results that fol-
lowed their use and out of gratitude I
give them my highest endorsement =

Contact Brings Disease.
Disease attacks human beings only
| when they are brought in contact with
1t. For instance, you cannot get ty-
phoid fever unless you swallow the
! germs Of typhoid, and you do not
| swallow these germs unless they get
on the food you eat or in the LIQUIDS
you drink or on the glasses or cups
from which you drink
Intestinal diseases are more FREQUENT
whenever and wherever flies are most
abundant, and they and not the sum-
mer heat are the active agents of it's
spread
There is special danger when flies
drop into such fluid as milk. This
| forms an ideal culture material for the
bacillus. A few germs washed from
the body Of one fly may develop into
millions within a few hours, and the
i person who drinks such milk will re-
ceive large doses Of bacilli, which
| may later cause serious sickness.
Strike at the root of the evil. Dis
pose Of waste materials in such way
that the housefy cannot propagate, for
| flies breed in horse manure, decaying
vegetables, dead animals and all
kinds of filth. . So look after the gar

! sprinkled with lime or kerosene oil
and closely covered.
Screen all windows and doors and
insist that your grocer, butcher, baker
and every one from whom you buy
foodstuffs does the same, and remem-
Der that large percentage Of flies

There is more health in a well
screened house than in many a doc

After you have cleaned up your own
premises inspect the neighborhood for
| fly breeding places. Call the attention
| OF the owner to them and If he does
not remove them complain to the
board of health.
| Keep flies away from the kitchen.
Keep flies out of the dining room and
away from the sick, especially from
those i'll with contagious diseases.
Simple Means of Killing Flies.
To clear rooms of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows: Heat a shov-

| thereon twenty drops of carbolic acid.
The vapor kills the flies. yazSss-
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
