And Harvard really has a chance to
win this vear. It Is more than a chance.
too. Whatever the preponderance of
; money and of college enthusiasm may
make the betting odda at the last mo
ment, the fact remains that the Harvard
; varsity eleven of this year la the logical
i favorite. It has performed better, both
. In public and In private, than Its rival
down at New Haven. These perform
ences. by the way, should mora than off
set Tale's traditional ability to whip
Harvard on the gridiron, as demonstrated
by the fact that since 1X1 Yale has beea
the winner In each annual encounter.
West Has Special Interest.
While the game will be watched with
Interest by college men and by the sport-
loving public throughout the country. It
will have a peculiar interest this Fall to
football enthiislnsts of the Pacific Coast,
for two of Harvard's eleven regulars hall
from the Coast states, while a third la
from far-off Honolulu, far-off from tha
stand Dolnt of Boston, at least.
These two young men from the Pacific
Coast, who will strain every nerve in
Harvard's cause against the sons of Old
Kit are Gilbert G. Browne, of Ios An
geles. Cal., and Hamilton F. Corbett. of
Portland. Or. And along with them Is
another Western representative in Wlth-
Ington. from Honolulu.
Browne, who has already been promi
nent in Harvard athletics through his
connection with the basketball team, is a
Junior in college and the beat end on the
varsity. His basketball ability has stood
him In good stead upon the gridiron, and
under the dally coaching of Dave Camp
bell, himself one of the best ends that
ever wore a Harvard sweater, Browne
has developed Into a player in whom the
coaches have the utmost confidence.
Corbett makes his debut in Harvard
varsity athletics this Fall with the foot
ball team. Last year he was a freshman
. and so. under the rules, was not eligible
for varsity service. He Is playing right
halfback and Is distinctly one of the foot-
ball finds of the year, not only at Har-.
. vard. but at all the Eastern collegia.
' Hairing any injuries in the meantime.
Corbett has only to keep up In the Yale
game the work he has been doing right
' along to earn for himself a position on
more than one of the all-American teams
that the leading football authorities of
the East make up Immediately after Yale
and Harvard have met.
Hoholunl Man at Gnard.
Wlthlnrton. at guard, like Browne, has
seen varsity athletlo service before, al
though never in the realm of football.
Wlthtngton haa been prominent in swim
ming. He has been and is today the
captain of the varsity swimming team
and has the build and stamina to com
mend him to any branch of athletics. In
fact he only Just missed making the var
sity crew last Spring. He Is a big. pow
erful fellow, seems Immune from Injury
and will be a proverbial tower of strength
In the Harvard line.
In fact. Harvard haa not had in rears
a team that Is as thoroughly representa
tive as the present eleven. One man. Mc
Kay, at tackle, hails from gay Pares.
Two others come from New York City,
one of these being "Ham" Fish.. Jr..
while a third Is from Philadelphia. But
Ave of the regulars are Massachusetts
men. Incidentally, it might be here re
marked that, year by year. Westerners
are occupying more and more prominent
flares In Harvard athletics. There is
hardly a Harvard varsity team that does
not carry at least one man from the Far
West, while statistics show that SO per
cent of the men In athletics at Harvard
today come from the other aide of the
Mississippi River. This Is a surprisingly
large percentage when one stops to con
sider what a great portion of the student
enrollment la from the six New England
states.
When "Bill" Reld, himself a Caltfor
nlan. declined further servlca as head
coach of the. Harvard varsity, despite
the fancy salnry he was receiving, the
athletic authorltl.' were In a quandary
as to his successor. The experiments of
last year proved d'couraglncly disas
trous and early last Spring a systematic
plan of action was inaugurated. Percy
D. Hauphton. a brilliant Harvard player
In his day. and subsequently coach of
some of Cornell's winning teams, was ap
pointed head coach. Charley Ia!y, who
played quarter with West Point after dis
tinguishing himself In Harvard football;
IJeutenant Graves, a West Point tackle;
lave "amplell. end and captain of the
team, and H. E. Kersberg. a bulwark
of strength In the line last year, were
made awtstant coaches.
Carlisle Game Shows Strength.
They have worked in harmony, and
from practically a green squad have
whipped together an eleven that showed
when It defeated the Carlisle Indians 17
to 0 last Saturday. It was one of the best
elevens Harvard has had In years. On
the old-fashioned style of football center
plunges and end runs Harvard could
whip Tale right now to the proverbial
fraxxle. despite the fact that but two of
the men who wtll fight Tale have earned
their varsity "H" until this year. The
only serious accident that his befallen
the team this Fall has been ths injury to
Captain Burr. His absence la the line
will not be felt but the team will un
questionably suffer somewhat from the
loss of his leadership and of hk punting
ability, but. at best. Burr's piutlng this
year had not been up to his standard of
two years ago, when he was cute prop
erly regarded as tha best college punter
of tlie country.
The Harvard line, on all it has shown,
1s better and will withstand tterrer on
slaughts than the Tale rushes. Tin Har
vard barkrteld is Just as speedy aid ca
pable of exactly aa much effective exe
cution In ground-gaining as any of Yale's
; much-touted trios. Harvard has too had
I the difficulties at quarterback that have
been encountered at Tale Field, where In
juries, too, have been more numerous, al
though there Is always a disposition down
at New Haven to be as bearish as pos
sible. Wherein, then, if defeated, will Har
vard's weakness lie? It will be effective in
new football. True, Harvard haa not, as
yet. been forced to uncover much of her
ability at the forward pass and onslde
kick phasea of the new game, but what
she haa shown in this direction has not
been particularly reassuring. Y'ale. with
that football master mechanic. Walter
Camp, behind the guns, undoubtedly
knows more of the new football than
Harvard. Harvard should be able to win
the game on a straight football. Those who
expect to see a wholesale demonstration
of the new game on Harvard's side will
be disappointed. If Harvard can defend
herself against Tale's new football when
the sons of Eli are upon the offensive
all will be rosy with the Crimson play
ers and victory can hardly go other than
Harvard's way. ., .
Comparative scores are worth little in
arriving at the relative strength of two
teams that have not met, but these com
parisons, nevertheless, of the games this
Fall, all point to a Harvard win. Brown
TTniversitv. for example, played both
teams. Harvard beat the Brunonlans In
easy fashion two weeks ago. Last week.
When Tale had seven more days of prep
aration. Brown tied Yale's score. That U
the best comparative line on the two
teams to date. It bears out every other
Indication that Harvard has the better
eleven and Is, at least. In line for another
victory.
Mi UWS ABE USELESS
PRESENT OREGOS STATUTES
NOT EFFECTIVE.
Impracticability of Preventing Serv
ing- of Game and Fish In Res
taurants Pointed Ont.
BT WILi O. MJM3 RAB.
Oregon, like many other states In the
Union, Is burdened with game laws
that do not protect either the fish in
the streams or the birds In the air. and
some action should be taken when tha
Legislature meets In January to make
some sorely needed changes.
Those wise framers of the law who
sought to protect game and fish by
nrohibitina- their sale in the open mar
kets were undoubtedly sincere In their
belief that this was safe protection,
but It has merely been a Joke, for thers
hardly pusses a day In Portland when.
If one Is on the inside, ducks, pheasants
and oual! cannot be bought.
Just now the deputy game wardens
are exceedingly active in and around
the city and dally these game wardens
make the rounds of the hotels and
restaurants. asking that game be
served, or snooping; around the kltch
ens. searching for ducks and other
game birds. In one or two Instances
an unwary restaurant-keeper has been
caught and punished, but for everyone
that Is caught, there are a dozen who
serve ducks almost every day and are
never caught. This Is not the fault of
the game warden. It Is simply where
the law falls down.
Weekly Slaughter of Water Fowl.
Every Sunday night and Monday morn
ing all the way from 1000 to ft-uO ducks
and other water fowl are brought into
the city. Of course there Is a law against
selling ducks, but there Is no law pre
venting the hunter from giving away.
his birds, nor is there a law which pre
vents him from taking his birds to any
of the big markets In the city and
having them placed in cold storage. To
be sure these birds are tagged with the
owner's name. If not tha owner's, any
old name will do. Just so It fools the
Game Warden when he comes around.
Many a local hunter sells his birds, if
not to the market man whose cold
storage he uses, to somebody he knows

Cold Storage Fraud.
Another thing that makes the Game
Warden helpless is that many of the
restaurant-keepers, because they have

fine cold-storage plants in connection
with their places of business, keep birds
for their customers. There Is nothing
Illegal about this, for the birds are shot
by the people leaving them with the res
taurant man and are kept until some
night In the week when he gives a din
ner to his friends.
These birds are duly tagged with the
owner's name, yet at the same time the
same oold-storage plant -will contain
perhaps a doaen birds bought by the res
taurant man to serve to custoiners whom
he knows will not "peach." A Game
Warden of course can seise these birds,
but how Is he going to prove that they
were bought In the markets nnless they
were served to him aa a customer of the
place. The law says the Game Warden
shall seize them If the season is closed,
but with the duck season open as It la
now he would get himself Into serious
trouble If he did take them.
Situation Is Difficult.
The Game Warden,, at any and all
times, may, upon showing his authority,
demand to look Into the cold-storage
plant of any market, hotel or restaurant.
He might go a step farther, as one Depu
ty Game Warden did yesterday, and first
make a tour of the dining-room, before
he makes known his business. The Deputy
Game Warden was without authority of
law to do this, yet in his seal and per
haps soma one had "tipped" off that this
hotel was serving ducks he roamed over
the dining-room during the noon hour,
hoping to catch soma guest eating a
forbidden duck.
Several of the guests of the hotel had
ducks given to thtm Monday by friends.
They were in co!a storgae waiting until
such times as the guests wanted them
cooked. Ic was perhaps fortunate for the
guests that the Game Warden arrived at
lunobaoa. Any way Its found no ducks.

Five years, ago all the automobile , factories in America combined were able to build just forty-four
4-cylinder cars in an entire season.
This year the Cadillac Company will build ten thousand four-cylinder cars each an exact duplicate of
every other down to the most minute measurement it is possible to make with a micrometer.
Isolate this stupendous fact for a moment from all the others printed
on this pacre. Study it in all its significance, and you will begin to un
derstand why it is possible for the Cadillac Company to do what it is
impossible for other plants to do. Then pass on to the next paragraph,
which will make the: situation, very much clearer. ' -

The Cadillac Thirty-motor is of the
four-cylinder, four-cycle type, 4-inch,
bore by 4l2-inch piston stroke, and by
dynamometer test develops 30 actual
horsepower. It is the product of that
department of our plant which, during
the past eight, years, has made more
high-grade gasoline motors than any
ether establishment in the world.
This motor is not new. It is simply
an evolution. It retains basic principles
which have made Cadillac motors fa
mous the world over. The cylinders are
cast individually, as are also the valve
chambers, the latter being attached to
the former by right and left-threaded
nipples. The system of copper jacketing
the cylinders, which was originated by
ns and which has always been a feature
or Cadillac motors, is retained in the
Thirty.
The perfect fit of
cylinder and piston
is in reality the life
of the motor. The
system of microme
ter and snap-gauge-measurement
which
is rigidly adhered to
in Cadillac construe
a degree of effi
ciency and fit which has been charac
teristic of Cadillac construction, for
years, and has been developed to a point
never attained by any other automobile
plant in the world.

The transmission used on the Cadillac
Thirty is our own and is made in .our
own factory. It is the selective type of
sliding gear, with three forward speeds
, and reverse. The gears, shafts and
high-speed clutch' parts are made of
chrome nickel steel, the greatest care
being exercised in cutting and finishing
them according to the Cadillac system
of limit gauges which insures hairs
breadth accuracy. These parts are then
treated by a special process which gives
them extreme strength, toughness and
wearing qualities.
The Cadillac Thirty steering mechan
ism is of our own design and manufac
ture, of the worm and worm-gear sector
type, accurately cut and hardened, fit
ted with two ball-thrust bearings. The
teeth in the middle of the sector nat
urally perform the greatest service and
are, therefore, most susceptible to wear.
To compensate for this, the center teeth
are cut on a 6lightly less pitch radius,
so that this wear may be taken up with
out oausing the upper or lower teeth to

not be a duplicate of the other if they were
not manufactured cars in the very strictest
sense.
To build even one perfect high-powered ear,
the synchronization of parts must be absolute
down to the closest possible degree of fine
ness and "fit."
To build ten thousand such cars demands a
degree of standardization so scrupulously fine
that there will not be a hair's-breadth discrep
ancy in any one of the multitudinous parts
from the first car to the ten thousandth. '
Otherwise you have a car that is no stronger '
than its weakest or loosest' part.
Otherwise you have not got a high-grade '
ear because some of the parts are out of har
mony with the whole.
Standardization is what makes ears run
without trouble; standardization is what elimi
nates repair expense; standardization is what
gives a car long life; standardization plus en
gineering genius and good material is what
constitutes a high-grade care. Under the aus
pices of the Royal Automobile Club of London,
England, this Summer, in the most remarkable
standardization test ever conducted anywhere
in the world, three Cadillac cars were torn
down; the parts thrown into a conglomerate
heap; certain parts cast aside- and new
parts substituted; and the three cars built up
again piece byiece out of the pile of parts ;
ran perfectly without hitch, skip, loosSness or
break in the five-hundred-mile race on the
Brooklands track, in which the average speed
per hour was thirty-one miles.
And standardization is impossible in any as
sembled car.
And the ability of the Cadillac plant to
standardize ten thousand cars as easily as ten
'are makes possible the magnificent Cadillac
Thirty at a popular price.
Now, suppose we
tried to build ten
thousand high
grade cars without . '
perfect standardiz
ation. What would
be the result t
Well, to be g i n
with, we would buy
the parts from sev
eral makers.
That would car

ear; because the parts, coming from half a
dozen makers could not and would not be
made with a perfeot conception of their rela
tion to each other.
That takes you out of the high-grade class
without going any further.
Secondly, if you buy your parts from a
dozen different makers, you've got to do one
of two things.
You've either got to pay a profit to these
dozen different makers or you've got to
cheapen their product.
If you cheapen their product, you've lost the
right, a second time, to call yours a high
grade car.
If you don't cheapen their product and you
do pay them a profit you can't sell your car
at a popular price without losing money.
Now look at the reverse' side.
Buying for ten thousand Cadillac Thirties
brings the. cost of material down to the last
and lowest notch.
Absolute standardization means a complete
elimination of waste.
Manufacturing all the parts cuts out every
cent of profit that usually goes to the parts
maker. So you get in the Cadillac Thirty thanks
to the ten thousand output, the perfect stand
ardization and the manufacture of all parts
a car which no plant of lesser equipment
can match in material and market for less
than double or treble the price.
Your dealer has received his first allotment
of Cadillac Thirties. Verify everything we
have said herein, first by studying the char
acter of the Thirty construction as illustrated
in - the parts-pictures shown herewith; and
secondly, by personal observation and a prac
tical demonstration of what this wonderful
car will do.

for adjustment is greater than will prob
ably ever be required.
The adjustment of most steering gears
requires the service of an expert, while
the adjustment of this one is a simple
operation.
The Cadillac Thirty embodies the most
scientific spring suspension ever devel
oped in automobile construction. The
forward suspension consists of two semi
elliptical springs, 36 inches long by 2
inches wide, and the rear suspension is
the platform type.
The Cadillac Thirty has two pairs of
powerful double-acting brakes the reg
ular service brakes, brought into action
by a foot lever contaot upon the large
rear wheel hub drums, and the emer
gency brakes applied by a hand lever
expanded within the latter.
The front axle is made of cold-drawn
seamless steel tubing with drop-forged
steel yokes electrically welded. The rear
axle housing is also made of cold-drawn
seamless steel tubing of ample strength,
with cast-steel bevel gear and differen
tial housing.

but supposing ho had. TTndoubtedly he
would have confiscated the tolrds and ar
rested tha guests. It would hava been no
trouble on the part of the guest to have
proven that the birds had been given to
him. but after the humiliation and dis
grace, what redress would the guests
have or the proprietor -who, perhaps,
would have been arrested also. None
whatever, unless by civil suit and this
would not mean anything, for the aver
age Deputy Game Warden hasn't any
thing worth suing for.
It would be silly tor the hunters, mean
ing those who shoot ducks to sell and
right hers In Portland there are plenty
of them or the sportsmen, who shoots
for the pleasure of shooting and who
gives his birds away on Monday morn
ing, to deny that hundreds of ducko are
sold In Portland every week. The only
good thing that the law haa done. It has
put out of commission the market hunter,
not the game bag. Duck shooting Is
an expensive luxury here In Oregon and
during a season ducks will cost the aver
age duck sportsman between 60 and 0
cents apiece. The limit la 60 birds a -week
and when people are willing to pay 75
cents and 1 apiece for ducks. It la not
to be wondered at that some hunters sell
their birds Just to pay for their ammuni
tion. They do this and will keep on sell
ing them In sclts of the law.
Gebhart Opposes Law.
Evan such a loyal game protectionist
as A. E. Gebhart, secretary of the Ore
gon Fish aud Game Association, a man
who has done mors for game and fish
protection than any other In Oregon, Is
against the present law prohibiting the
sale of game. He, better than any one
knows how far short the law Is being
effective. Secretary Gebhart Is at work
now codifying the Oregon game laws
which ho will, through the Oregon Fish
and- Gams Association, present to the
next Legislature. Secretary Gebhart be
lieves that it Is unfair to those who can
not get away from the city In order to
hunt, or those who cannot afford the
luxury of a shooting preserve, to be de
nied the right to sat a duck. He believes
In protecting Chinese pheasants, because
unlike the duck, the bird is not migratory.
Seoretary Gebhart said yesterday: "I am
In favor of selling ducks and other migra
tory birds In tha markets. I would, how
ever, have the sale restricted. In the
gams laws of several states the sals is
restricted. Market men are compelled to
keep a record of the people from whom
they buy their birds. The nams of the
hunter and tha number of birds ho has
sold Is entered in a book and this book at
all times is subject to the Game Warden's
scrutiny. For instance, if the limit that
one man can sell bo 26 and he Is caught
selling 60, then he is punished. Just now
our game laws are In bad shape and must
be changed. I am at work now codifying
them."
Auto Owners Save Fares.
Texas automobile owners . are figuring
that they are responsible for a consid
erable loss of revenue' on the part of the
railroads. At the State Fair at Dallas
observations were made ot the visiting
cars, and it was ound that touring par
ties were present from all parts of the
state.
Believers In the automobile welcome
this evidence of the growing popularity
of the vehicle, freeing owners of ma
chines, as it does, from the restrictions
of railway time cards and reducing the
consideration of distance to a minimum.

USES GAS TO BRING DEATH
TjeRoy O. Black Commits Suicide In
Hotel Room.
LeRoy C. Black, aged SS years, ex
member of the Fortieth Regiment,
United States Infantry, and a Deputy
Game Warden for Oregon, committed
suicide in a room of the West Hotel,
61 H North Sixth street, Friday night.'
His body was found in bed at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, after the door
was forced open by Polios Detective
Craddock, who was called In by the
proprietor.
The body was taken In charge by a
representative of Coroner Norden, and
efforts are being made to locate the
suicide's relatives. He chose gas as
the means of taking his life. All the
cracks in the room were stuffed with
cloths, showing plainly he had planned
his death. Illness Is assigned as tha
causa.
Black came to this state two yearn
ago and married a young woman of
this city. Soon after he went to Hood
River to take oharge of a logging camp
near that plaoe and remained there for
nearly a year. He was a heavy drinker
and was recently confined to a local
hospital because of falling sight,
caused by excessive drinking. He waa
released from the hospital a week ago.
Almost a year ago his wife secured a
separation from him because of hla
excessive use of liquor. It is said. Black .
was highly educated and of a good
family, though little Is known of them
by his local acquaintances.
