In the first half yesterday afternoon on Pittsburg College campus the college eleven suffered defeat by a score of 28 to 0.

In the second half neither team crossed the line. Qeneva was Pittsburgs opponent and showed up strong In interference and Pittsburg equally weak, though toward the end of the game it seemed to have learned considerably, and turned Its knowledge to good account. The local players were discouraged early In the game, when, on the iirst down, after the kick-tiff, the ball was fumbled and secured by Geneva, which Inst no time in shoving it across tho lino for a tbuch down.

But this policv would hardly work in the big games.

The value of a captain cannot be overestimated, and as there are a number of men who could successfully fill this position it seems that some one should be selected. It was decided at a meeting of the board of coaches last night that no captain would be selected for several weeks yet. Howard will continue to act as field captain and Davidson and Galdrner will alternate as captain. All of the football candidates assembled in the training house last night and listened to a talk by Coach Woodruff. The men were advised not to Indulge in cigar-ets or intoxicating drinks.

The advice was hardly necessary, as all of Penn's candidates are very strict in their training. Even Battle at KJttannlngr. Kittanning, October 5. Kittanning went against the heavy Natrona team and in a fierce game held them down to a no score game. The game was clean and hard throughout.

TO FUMBLES REDUCED SCORE. Special to tne Sonday Press. Washington, October 5. The football season at Washington, and Jefferson College was opened auspiciously here this afternoon In a game between the local collegians and the team representing the Indiana Normal school. The collegians played better and faster football and won out by a score of 20 to 0.

The Indiana team was much heavier than had ben expected, and their line compared favorably in weight with that of W. J. team. W. J.

seemed able to advance the ball whenever they wanted but considerable "fumbling was in evidence and this accounts for the home team not running up a higher score. Kdmundson, who captained the Westminster College team last year, played at right half back for the Normals this afternoon and put up a magnificent game, being the only man on the team that could break up the interference of the collegians. Captain Aiken won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. Warren kicked off at 3:10 to Hayes, who made 15 yards before he was downed. McFarland and Forkum advanced the oval nine yards and Montgomery fumbled but regained the ball.

At this point W. J. fumbled considerably, and Indiana secured the ball on downs. The visitors' backs plunged through for about six yards and then were thrown back for a loss, and Gessler kicked to Captain Aiken. Aiken made a gain on a trick play, and the W.

J. backs hammered the line, advancing steadily up the field to the one-yard line, when Forkum toofc it over for the second touchdown. Hayes failed at goal. Score: W. 10; Indiana Normal, 0.

Warren kicked to Aiken on the 20-yard line, and a Beries of line bucks and end runs followed. Time for the half was called with the ball on Indiana's 15-yard line.

The game was slow, lasting an hour and a half. Cornell's goal was never in danger. All the play was in Bucknell's territory. The Ithacans were strong on their defense, Bucknell making but one gain of five yards. In the first half Cornell rushed the ball to the fiye-yard line and lost on a fumble fy Lueder.

Cornell blocked the kick and Tydeman fell on the ball back of the line for a touchdown. Coffin kicked a goal. Cornell again rushed the ball near Bucknell's goal and lost It for holding.

The friends of Wooster University this afternoon were again made to realize that the years in which the faculty worked to keep down Athletics are not made up in a few months. The opening game of the football season this afternoon resulted in favor of Ohio WTesleyan by a score of 28 to 0. When the elevens lined up it was very evident that Wooster was outweighed and but little play demonstrated that the local players needed practice. Wesleyar fumbled badly, losing the ball twice on Wooster's five yard line. Lucas, W'hiteeraft and Brown did good work for Wooster.

Princeton. N. October 5. Princeton had an easy time defeating Haverford today by a score of 47 to 0. The Pennsylvanians were almost equal in size to the Tigers, with the possible exception of Iewitt and McCord.

The game was much more interesting than the score shows. Ssveral times Haverford made good gains on end runs bv Stone anf" on guards' back formation. Princeton's gains were mostly on long runs, which were in two cases made possible by flukes. One fault noticed among the Tigers is their tendency to use their hands for holding.

7o do not treat all diseases, but euro all wo treat. We treat men only and cure them to stay cured. We make no extravagant assertion when we say that millions of men have been wrecked on the rock of Sexual Vice. The trouble is not so Much that they get disease, but rather they allow it to grow worse through neglect or improper treatment. The fact is responsible in many cases for nine.tenths of the suffering.

You should remember that diseases are never on the standstill. Neither can you make any compromise with them. Either you must control them or they will control you and render you utterly unfit for the ordinary duties of life. Specifics, Free Samples, Trial Treatments, and the like, don't cure complaints of this kind, as any one who has tried them knows. But if you have Varicocele, Stricture, Contagious Blood Poison, Rupture, Kidney and Urinary Diseases, Nervo-Sexual Debility, or any associate diseases or weakness, you owe it to yourself to fully and freely investigate our treatment.

Our mastery of these maladies is complete. We begaa a special study of them soon after graduating from college, now nearly a quarter of a century ago, Jnd during all the years since then they have been our study and persistent practice. We treat nothing else. Does it not occur to you, then, that we are better prepared to combat and conquer diseases and weaknesses peculiar to men than the general practitioner, who, instead of concentrating his faculties on a single class of diseases, scatters them over the entire field of medicine and surgery VARICOCELE AND ITS NEW CURE. "Whatever may be the cause of varicocele, its Injurious effects are too well known for extend ed comment.
