5 INDIAN' STRATEGY PUZZLES HARVARD New Plays Score Victory for Carlisle After Many Defeats. MT. PLEASANT, THE KICKER Makes Three Goals In Four Touch downs and Dashes Through the Whole Harvard Line Only One Rally hy Harvard. CAMBRID6K, Mass.. Nov. P. The memory of previous defeats was forgot ten today In the victory of the Carlisle Indians over Harvard by a score of 23 to 13. For versatility of plays, the Indian team lias not bf-en equaled on Soldiers' Field since the rew rules went into ef fect. Forward plays, delayed kicks and cross passes followed each other In rapid succession until the Harvard players be came bewildered and seemed utterly un able to stop the march of the Indians toward their goal. The visitors scored twice in the first half and twice In the second, and the four times on brilliant roughing. The Harvard points were made on two touch downs and a goal from placement by Captain Parker. Each of the touchdowns was made on fumbles by the Indians di rectly in front of their own goal line, so that It was comparatively easy for the crimson players to push the ball over to a score. One of the Harvard goals from touchdown was missed, but little Mount Pleasant, the Indian quarterback, kicked three out of four attempts. Mt. Pleasant's Splendid Dash. Mount Pleasant ran with speed, ana his selection of plays was well varied. His most brilliant effort was his dash of 75 yards through the end of the Harvard eleven for a touchdown shortly after the beginning of the second half. The play wnn nne nf the most sensational seen on Soldiers' Field for many years. The In-' dians' quarter caught a Harvard punt on his own 35-yard line and dashed straight for the assembling players. It seemed a hazardous play, out he proved too slippery for the crimson men anil went through the greater portion of the Harvard eleven like a greased pig, and" then shaking himself clear, he eluded Ncwhall, who stood between him and the goo.1, and then dashed for the line. Score on Forward March. The other three Indian touchdowns were made through their success In carrying off the forward march. Through a fumble by Carlisle on their own 7-yard line, two Crimson rushes were made. Here brilliant plays fol lowed for the next few minutes on the part of Carlisle, but there was a futile attempt on the goal. Finally the In dians secured the ball on Crimson's 40 yard line and rushed it to the 25-yard lino on a delayed pass. Another for ward pass sent It to the 10-yard line, and after two plunges In the center. Mount Pleasant again signaled for the new play and the hall was 'tossed di rectly to the goal line, far out of reach of any Harvard player, none of whom was anticipating such a play. Cap tain Parker's goal from the field came soon afterward and brought the score up to 12 to 10 at the end of the first half. Harvard's Only Rally. In the second half, after Mount Pleas ant's sensational dush for a touchdown, soon came the only Harvard rally In the game. From Carlisle's five-yard line. Harvard rushed the Indians steadily back 25 yards, where a forward pass was attempted and muffed by ,a Carlisle player. Harvard recovered the ball on the Indians' five-yard line and rushed it across In three plays. After this the In dians' goal was never in danger. This was followed by another Carlisle forward run.

Cornell and West Point met for their initial battle n the gridiron here today and the Itha cans routed the Army by a score of 14 to 10. Cornell had the ball at the end of the first half, with a score of 6 to 4, but the soldiers changed this early In the sec ond period of the game, when Philoon got through for a touchdown and Beavers kicked the goal. This placed the Army ahead. 10 to 6, but during the remainder of the game the Ithacan team outplayed the local men, who, after having a touchdown and" a goal scored against them, tried at the last minute for a safety, which finished the scoring The weather conditions were excellent, and there was as large a gathering at the game as that which witnessed the Yale contest last month. Cornell won the toss and chose the south' goal. Beavers kicked off for West Point to Cornell's 15-yard line. Hy a series of forward passes Cornell carried the ball down the field until Watson for Cornell made the first touchdown and Waldes kicked goal. The ball was kept in the air a good deal by exchanging punts, and was on the Army's 30-yard line at the end of the first half. On a forward pass, O'Rourke reached the Army's 10-yard line. Walders went through for four yards more and in an other plunge got the ball within a foot of the Army goal line. Cornell then was penalized 15 yards for holding. Gardner fried a drop kick but failed. After the kick out Cornell punted to Gory, who muffed on the Army's eight-yard line. Walders went through for six yards. The Army braced, and got the ball on downs. It was punted out and Cornell lost 15 yards on a penalty. Beavers, for West Point, made a drop kick and scored a goal. Jn the second half, Walders kicked to Beavers on the 30-yard. line. In an ex change of punts the bail was kicked out to Cornell's 20-yard line. Mountford took Gory's" place for West Point. With the ball on Cornell's 20-yard line, Philoon blocked Walders' kick and went over the line for a touchdown. Beavers kicked the goal. Ayres wan replaced by Hayes and IJowen went in for Moss for West Point. Cornell lost the ball on West Point's 15 yard line. On the kick out Gardner made YESTERDAY'S FOOTBALL SCORES Eastern Games.

Nov. 9. (Specials Seattle High School redeemed Itself for Its defeat in Spokane last Saturday at the expense of Portland today. The final score stood 23 to 0 In favor of the local lads. Had the game gone longer the score might have been larger. The sec ond half was but 15 minutes long, instead of the regular 25, as It was getting dark. Latourette gave some brilliant flashes of speed in running back punts and his work was the feature for Portland. The Portland boys were not husky enough for Seattle and were frequently laid out. Coyle reeled off plays in a hurry and the big fellows swept Portland off its feet. Coyle Interrupted a forward pass by Portland and ran 20 yards. Only a few plays more and the ball was taken over five minutes after the kick-off. Two forward passes netted Seattle 60 yards and then Jay Smith sprinted for another touchdown. Seattle had the ball within two yards of' the goal again when time was called for the first half. Two more touchdowns In the second half brought the score up to 23 to 0. The lineup: Seattle.

Yale played great football today when she defeated the strong Brown team, 22 to 0. Brown worried Yale in the first half, which ended with six points for the local men, but In the second period the blue outclassed the brown players in all departments of the game and held them back when a touchdown seemed to be a certainty.

Stanford won her fourth consecutive foot ball victory from California this after noon on the home grounds, defeating the Blue and Gold fifteen by a score of 21 to 11. The game today was by far the classi est exhibition of Rugby that has ever been seen on Stanford Field, the numer ous scores keeping the spectators keyed up to the highest pitch and adding the ex citement of uncertainty to a wonderful battle. Over 12,000 people witnessed the game. California led at the close of the first half by a score -of 8-5 but In the second period the Stanford backfield was Irre sistible and during the last ten minutes drove over two tries in quick succession, clinching a game already won. Fejiton s wonderful work was easily the sensational feature of the day. His kick ing relieved many dangerous situations. Holman had all his speed today and played a magnificent game at wing, his runs through a scattered field bringing the Cardinal bleachers to their feet again and again. Johns.' Butler, Dwiggins- and Stow put up the features for California. SAX FRANCISCO RACES OP EX Handicap at Emeryville Is Won by an Outsider. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9.

TINNED POTATOES ON MENU Marines Must Eat Canned Vegeta bles During Long Voyage. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 9. Canned potatoes are the latest novelty to be added to the Naval bill of fare. It has been custom ary heretofore to use fresh potatoes on board of American warships, but the long cruise of the battleship fleet to the Pacific presents a problem never before laid before the culinary artists of the Navy, and the difficulty is over come by the purchase of canned pota toes to take the place of the fresh article. ' The Navy Department has authorized the purchase of 100.000 pounds of tinned potatoes, the first of this class of provisions to be purchased for the Navy. The canned vegetables have been the subject of test by the Army Commissaries in the Philippines and in Alaska, and the reports of them are most satisfactory. The difficulty has been In getting the canners to put up potatoes and other vegetables In this form, for which there has hitherto been little demand. It is considered by the Navy Depart ment that the increased cost of the tinned potatoes will not amount to as much as the loss In the fresh vegeta bles, of which 500,000 pounds will be carried for the ships destined for the cruise to the Pacific Coast. The fresh vegetables and the canned vegetables which are to be bought for that occa sion will not suffice to furnish the ships with potatoes during the entire cruise, and additional arrangements will have to be made for supplying potatoes and other vegetables during the voyage. The potato will not keep at sea more than eight weeks, and in that time the loss may be kept down only by great PERSONALJWENTION. Archie Goldsmith, traveling sales man for Flelschner.

EXPATIATES IN FRANCE (Continued From Page 4.) American residents here, he Is not espe cially devoted to the automobile, prefer ring horses to motors as a rule. Gardner's House Full of Pictures. Frank L. Gardner's house, built along the fortifications of Paris at La Muette, on Avenue Raphael, and to the west of the Pnssy district, is famous among Parisians as well as his own countrymen It Is filled with art objects, which he ha3 gathered from many sources, at an ex penditure, say those who should know, of little. If any, less than a round two millions of dollars, not francs. Gardner started life In Philadelphia. As a theatrical agent or manager he went to Australia. There he deserted ths business end of histrionics, went in for gjld mining, struck it rich and amassed a fortune; how large may be conjectured only, but Parisians and his countrymen here put It at from 50 millions to one and a half times that great sum dollais again, rot francs. For some time after coming here he remained president of the Golden Horseshoe Mining Company, and at one time was Interested in the manu facture of automobiles. He relinquished his mining presidency some time ago, however, has given up automobile mak ing, and Is now a man of leisure. He had lived here 20 years and knows every body who is In the swim. Gardner" art collection really is worth while, although, of course, it contains some things probably that are not of the first water: He owns one of the five au thenticated detached paintings by Michael Ai gelo. He hHS a "life-size"-portrait of Philip II.. by Titian, and Raphael s cele brated Venus and Cupid, besides a lot of statuary, ivory carvings and other fine things. A baptismal font made for Na poleon III Is also in Gardner's possession and, with fine American lack of rever ence for imperial relics, he has turned it into a bird cage. He likewise owns a music box which was presented to that son of the first Napoleon who was made King of Rome and called l'Aiglon, anil who lives again on the stage sometimes, In the person of Sarah Bernhardt i.-r Maude Adams, as the case may be. Gardner's greatest joy perhaps is the Venus and Cupid by Raphael, for which he paid $75,000. It was originally In the collection of a certain Prince Borghese, an Italian of the same family as the Prince of that name who recently outdis tanced all competitors in an automobilo trip from Pekln to Paris. Gardner had a great time getting the picture to Paris, owing to the Italian government's rule that no great objects of art should Lo taken out of Italy. The canvas, which is about 36 by 48 Inches In size, was, and still Is, Inclosed under-glass In an elaborate gilt frame. In order to make Its removal easier the purchaser had a part of this frame re moved and then hired a clever Italian artist to paint another picture on the Eugene High School building erect- State of Oregon, outside the City of space will be crowded to the limit was made large enough, so the board GIVES PORTLAHDERS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PROFIT PRESENT DROP IN PIANO PRICES KEEPS EILERS PIANO HOUSE BUSY ALL THE WEEK.

The present financial flurry has cc-rtainly given a number of Port land people occasion to substantially profit. Opportunity for piano buying was never better, seldom as favorable, and will not likely again be equaled for a long time to come. Prices are down, there is no question about that. Of course, everyone must realize that present iinanclal conditions are but temporary. It is just a sort of "thun der storm." as it were lots of noise, a little shower In which a few high financiers may get wet and a sort of general scurry on the part of every body to get under cover; "but, never fear, there is too murn wheat, timber, gold, too many apples and too gener ous a supply of many other commodi ties on the Pacific Coast, and particu larly In Oregon and its tributary ter ritory to allow any long-continued scarcity of ready money or prosperity. The gold Is already beginning to flow Westward and In a very little time the "thunder storm" will have given awav to blue skies and sunshine. But to get bask to the point. Our Kastern piano factories need largre sums Immediately to handle their tremendous. Fall and holiday business. With a tight money market in the Eastern centers this ready cash is a little hard to obtain. They have of fered us large extra discounts now for Immediate payment of unmatured hills. We wont to take advantage of those additional concessions in wholesale cost. We want to help our Eastern factories and it gives us an opportun ity to offer our patrons many money savlngr bargains for those who pur chase at once. We shall continue for a few days glass. Thus disguised it was brought away without difficulty. Although nec esarlly the precious canvas was shoved under the very nose of an Inspector whose duty It was to detect all such subter fuges, he never examined it at all. .The picture made a great stir here and has been written up and reproduced in some of the American papers, but, to the cmusement of those who are familiar with It and its history, one "art critic" de scribed it in an elaborate article as ".i beautiful Madonna and Child." It Is a beautiful picture, but the "Child" has wings, while the "Madonna's" face has not a trace of a Madonna in Its expres sion and no halo encircles the head. Mr. Gardner has been offered by a London collector $165,000, more than twice the price he paid, for the canvas. The Gardner collection Includes several fine Rembrandts, besides the works of other noted old and new masters. His religious and ecclesiastical pictures are unusually good. He Is fond of the auto mobile and Is often seen at the races. Some years ago he owned a string of horses, but he disposed of them long ago. The Famous Hoff Clianteau. . Located about 35 miles southwest of Paris, the Chateau du Breau, now occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. John Jacob Hoff. is one of the most famous American houses in all France. Mr; Hoff Is a Standard OH man, of religious temperament and a prominent supporter - of the American Presbyterian Ohurch, on the Rue de Berri, of which the Rev. Chauncey Good rich Is pastor. It is the second largest and most prosperous Protestant church In the French capital, the American Epis copal Church, on the Avenue de l'Alma, of which the Rev. Dr. J. B. Morgan Is the rector, being first. Mrs. Hoff was Grace Whitney, of De troit, the daughter of a lumber king, and she is counted the richest American woman in her own right now living In Paris. It is understood here that her In heritance, on her father's death, includ ed a fund that produces $25,000 a year, which, by the terms of the will, she Is to devote to philanthropic purposes. At all events, her charities have made her fa mous, alike in Paris and the cities of the states, and the Hostel for American Art Students on the Boulevard St. Michel, In the Latin Quarter, the Young Woman's Chrlstlai Association in the Rue Ue Tu rin and the tea room In the Rue Cambon are as famous as their founder. The Chateau du Breau is near the Ablls station on the Orleans railroad, and not far from Rambouillet, but Mr. Hoff, who is at hl. office in Paris daily, except when he lakes his "holidays." comes to town In one of the half-dozen autos which' the Hoff establishment boasts. The chateau was built in the time of King Henry IV, the old moat and draw bridge still exists, and the grounds cover 60 or 60 acres at the least. At one time it was known as the' "Cha teau du Breau sans Nappe," because of the big stone table in the grounds of the place, from which Henry IV Is said some times to have dined al fresco occasionally without having any one take the trouble to lay the cloth. The legend may or may not be true; the stone dining table still stands In one of the many gardens of the Du Breau grounds, and is the object of much curiosity and comment. Much of the estate is covered with fine old trees, growing thickly as In a forest In some parts, but In others intersected with well-kept walks and drives, while near the great house there are broad lawns, elaborate gardens and "plashing" fountains, the whole forming one of the finest private parks in France. Tuck's Villa at Malmalson Edward Tuck, another rich American resident of Paris, has a villa adjoining the famous Chateau Malmaison, where the Empress Josephine died, and has bought all the land nearby that he could get. He Is a brother of Judge Manna duke Tuck, of Egyptian achievements and fame, and of such wide sympathies and friendships that he has both John .Plerpont Morgan and William Jennings Bryan as his guests when they are In Paris, although I have not heard that he ever had them at his house together. He has finished and furnished his place in fine style; so fine. Indeed, that some enthusiastic visitor has described It as "hardly less splendid than a royal pal ace." Tuck Is a man of great wealth and a devoted automoblllst. He has len made a knight of the Legion of Honor for his charities, and he Is a prominent member of the American Episcopal Church. Sail de Jonge, whose house is on the Avenue d'lena, has been a Parisian resi dent for about 15 years, and although his name looks about as foreign as It pos sibly can. Is a sure-enough American, who will be remembered by some old time New Yorkers as a broker of other days, with the Vanderbllts among his steadiest and most profitable customers. He is tall, wears side whiskers, and la supposed to have barrels of money, much of which he has spent on pictures and other beautiful things, the possession nt which has made his house known as a real treasury of art. John Evans, nephew of the late Dr. Thomas Bvans, who introduced tooth sur gery of the most approved sort into Paris, is a highly characteristic member longer the special discounts in effect last week.

The House of High est Quality, Eilers Piano House, 3o3 Washington street. of the landed proprietor division of the American colony here. He bears the title of Marquis d'Oyley. granted by the Pope In recognition of his services to the Em press Eugenie, services which were not mentioned at all In Dr. Evans' account of the escape of Bugenle, because, gossip goes, they were bad friends for many years. The home of tho Marquis dentist for he practices his profession as assiduously as he could had he never received a title is the famous Chateau Sans Souci. located at Bellevue.afewmllps to the southwest of Paris, near Saint Cloud. It Is a place of much historical Interest, and near by there are remains of an under ground passage that used to connect the house with one of the several royal chateaus In the neighborhood. The Marquis d'Oyley looks to be 60 or 65, but very well preserved. He Is tall and very straight, perhaps because of his life-long devotion to fencing. Swordsmanship appears to have been a hobby with him; it was his Intention to make his son, the late Alester Evans, the finest swordsman in ail France. Such a decision would not seem very important one way or another In the United States, but In France It made the Marquis and his son almost per sonages, especially as the most ex pensive fencing teachers were h)red for the younger man, who early showed, that ultimately he might realize his father's ambitions. Early In the 20s. however, young Evans killed himself for a Peruvian beauty with whom he had been infat uated for some time, and from whom his parents had tried to separate him, but in vain. The death of young Evans made plenty of stir, alike In the landed American colony and out of It. It was hinted freely that possibly his death was not suicide, but nothing came of the hints. He had threatened several times to kill himself, and once had sent premature news of his suicide to his father and mother, so when he was really dead they did not believe the message they received about it. Alfred -Clark, well known in the commercial section of the colony for some years, has done so well that he was able to buy the Chateau de la Roche at Charge, In the department of Indre et Loire, some two or three years ago. This house la about 40 miles from Paris, just about far enough to make the auto run from home to the office In the morning and back at night pleasant dally diversions. Mr. Clark hopes his art collection will be as fine ultimately as Mr. Gardner's. It includes tapestries, bronzes, old carved furniture, etc., as well as pic tures, many of which were selected by Mr. Clark's friend, Leslie Cauldwell, who used to be a painter, but who, alas! has deserted the brush and palette in Paris for commercial life In the States. The two most famous American owned houses In Paris, of course, are the Gould - Castellane palace, at the corner of the Avenue Malakoff and the Avenue Bois de Boulogne, and the house built in the Place des Etats Unls by Julian Story as a residence for him self and his songbird wife. The Amer ican Ambassador has occupied the lat ter house for some time; It belongs to Story and not to Eames, and now that they have been divorced she is not likely ever to live In it again. Since the divorce between the Count Castellane and Anna Gould she has occupied the replica of the Grand Tri anon which she had built ifor their Joint home and, where her boys are being brought up. Mrs. Collls P. Huntington's newly-acquired residence, the palace-like, wall Inclosed, embowered mansion built by Baron Hirsch, on Avenue Gabriel, is one of the best-known houses In Paris, and as much talked about as the Hunting ton house on Fifth avenue In New York, so long unoccupied because it was supposed to be unlucky. Another house recently built for Mrs. Hershey Eddy, an. American, at Andressy, Is much talked of. because its plans were made by Sardou's son, who has turned architect. The house of the millionaire Due de Loubat, that interesting Franco-American whose father founded the family fortunes by building the first tramways of Paris, and who has given a lot of money to American universities as well as to various French educational Institutions, has a relatively modest house on the Rue d'Umont Durvllle. He is a great archaeologist, and has sup ported many excavations In various parts of the world. The chateau that was occupied by President Corey, of the steel trust, for some time after his marriage with Ma belle Gllmen is near Versailles, be tween Verriere and Palalseaux, only a few miles from Paris. Nobody in Paris knows whether he means to occupy It again and nobody cares much whether he does or not. His arrival at this metropolis of pleasure attracted scant attention, as perhaps he hoped It would his departure less, and he made so little of an Impression even upon the American colony that most of Its mem bers have forgotten where the chateau is located, even.
