Harvard Humbled Into Dust By The Indians Magnificent Game Ends With Carlisle Victor 8y a Big Score INDIANS ABE SWIFTED AND QUICKER IN ATTACK Harvard Is Paralyzed By the Vigor of Their Opponents, Who Win the Approbation of the Crowd By Splendid Work. Boston, November by the Indians! That was the situation this afternoon when Harvard beaten to a frazzle by the score of 23 to 15. A crowd of 30,000 persons witnessed the game.

The significance of the score is very evident as it was the Indian sign with a vengeance. Had the defeat come to Harvard as a surprise, there might have been some reason to berate the Crimson, but being outplayed by a team which was acknowledged a dangerous foe and had already beaten one of the big college teams, the result was not entirely unlooked for. Naturally the outcome cast considerable gloom over the Harvard football enthusiasts. It was the open style of play of the Indians which was accountable for downfall. The Indians came prepared to make use of all the new measures in football rules, and they got away splendidly with them.

Perhaps the case was due more to the inability of the Harvard defense to meet the swift and varied attack of the Indians, but it was more the clever work that crowned the plays with success. That Harvard did not play up to its regular standard was quite evident to all who have followed the season. The versatile actions of the Indians seemed to demoralize them, yet there was that same response which has been a trait in every game. This was shown at the very outset when the Crimson tied the score after the Indians had tallied. That the victory of the Indians was a popular one goes without saying.

The spectacular game won them admiration from the outset, and their agility and action from start to finish strengthened their standing. The one sensation of the game was the magnificent run of Mount Pleasant, the sprinter, who fore down the Held through the entire Harvard eleven for 75 yards after catching a punt. To Grant, the Harvard center, belongs all the praise. He was everywhere on tho Held and making tackles and recovering the ball. The only feature to mar the grand game was the Inexcusable action of Waldo I Pierce In jumping on an Indian who was PILES QUICKLY CURED AT HOME fistant Relief, Permanent Package Mailed Free To All in Plain Wrapper.

Nashville, November 60, University of Mississippi 0. Dudley field was a sea of mud and water today and the game between Vanderbilt and the University was played in a driving rain. The visitors were clearly outclassed and at no time had a chance to score. Vanderbilt scored at will, Morton, Craig, Campbell and Bob Blake going through the line at every play. Campbell made two spectacular runs across the field for touchdowns, one for 90 and another for 00 yards.

Craig also made a number of long runs, one for 40 yards. After tlie game had been safely put away the second eleven was substituted for the Varsity, with the exception of Craig, Stone and McLain, who kept at their places, and the second proved fully as strong as the Varsity, playing with Irresistible dash and aggressiveness and going up and down the field for touchdows as they pleased. The playing of Williams, Potts and Morrison in the sec- ond half was superb, Morrison and Williams being unstopable. Bradley Walker was referee. The line-up: Vanderbilt.

That the Indians were constantly guilty of holding, contrary to rule, was apparent by the numerous penalties they paid through the efficiency of Umpire Edwards In seeing most of It, and they lost much distance In that way. The speed of the end was an item which called forth much favorable comment. The Intention to play Harvard off her feet at the beginning was readily seen when a touchdown was made In the first ten minutes of play. Harvard drew oven, and when the half ended the Harvard supporters were still firm In their belief that the Indiana would he beaten. The first score developed from Newhall dropping a punt In the middle of the field.

Twice the Indians worked the forward pass, taking the ball within Harvard's five-yard line, and It was easy picking I to push the ball over. Harvard evened the score by getting a fumble on the one-yard after a punt, and the score was tied. Houser had a try for goal from the 37yard line, but failed after play was re- I sumed. Then the Indians worked the Into territory until the six-yard line was reached, and one of the prettiest criss-cross forward passes ever executed was handed to Exendlne, I who was all alone waiting for the hall, I and scored. Captain Parker boosted up the score by making a goal from a field kick after a fair catch near the 40-yard line just before time was called.

Mount Pleasant's long run was the first point made In the second half, but Har- varil kept pegging until Newhall finally handed a forward pass to Bird, which put the Crimson on the seven-yard line and Appollcmlo In a couple of rushes carried the leader over. After many playing Mount Pleasant made a forward pass from 36-yard line t- Winnie, who had 1 replaced Hendricks, and the teams lined up on the five-yard line, Houser going over on the next rush.

November big eleven downed the Army here today by the score of 14 to 10.

The Cornells made two touchdowns snd both of t.iem came through using the long pass when near the goal line. The other two points by the Cornells were due to thvsr forcing the cadets to make a safety. A goal from the field by Beavers and a hard-earned touchdown gave the soldiers their score of ten points.

Watson and Van Orman were the heroes of the game so far as Cornell was concerned. In the first half Watson received the ball on a long forward pass, and not only carried it over the line, but got It directly behind the goal posts.

GULF REFINING COMPANY ESTABLISH LOCAL PLANT ONE OF LARGEST INDEPENDENT OIL CORPORATIONS IN COUNTRY-DEALERS IN REFINED AND LUBRICATING OILS, GASOLINE AND DOUGLASS IS REPRESENTATIVE. One of the most pleasing and encouraging features in Industrial circles in this community is the announcement that the Gulf Refining company of Louisiana has completed Its extensive plant at the corner of Klghth avenue and Fourteenth street, north, and that they are about ready to commence business. The Gulf Refining company has selected Birmingham as one of Its distributing points for its products in Llie south mid have erected a plant in this city upon a very large scale. The company handles a complete line of refined oils, gasoline, lubricating oils and greases. In fact every kind of oil and grease produced from crude petroleum.

They will operate a largo number of tank wagons and drays for the serving of Its local patronage. The Birmingham station will bo an important branch of the Gulf Refining company of Louisiana, which Is one of the largest independent oil corporations In the United States, and while comparatively young, it is perhaps one of the most successful independent oil companies In the United States. It is strictly a southern oorportatlon, Its large refinery being at Bort Arthur, it having the largest daily capacity of any single refinery in the United States. This company has Just completed a pipe line about WO miles in length, reaching from the rich oil fields of Indian Territory to their plant at Port Arthur. The Indian Territory crude petroleum Is now recognised as the highest grade of petroleum that is found in the United States for refining purposes, and the Gulf Refining company of Louisiana is, therefore, prepared to place on the market a grade of oil equal in every respect to the highest grades of oil offered by any competitor.

This company is now operating In 12 states along the Atlantic and Gulf coast, having their own oil carrying vessels for the distribution of their products. Mr. Douglass, the local representative of this company. Is no stranger to Birmingham, having had several years acquaintance with the oil trade in Birmingham while connected with another oil company, and he is, therefore, famiUar wtth every detail of the oil business. The Gulf Refining company of Louisiana is in a position to take care of its trade in a very prompt and satisfactory manner and there Is no doubt but the new company will be warmly welcomed by the merchants and manufacturers of the Birmingham district who will appreciate the advantage of having competition from a strong Independent company.

AUBURN TOYS WITH MERCER UNIVERSITY AUBURN'S MEN DO NOT PLAY A HARD GAME AND ALLOW THEIR OPPONENTS TO NEAR THEIR GOAL. Auburn. November Georgia Baptists from Mercer university. met defeat at tho hands of the Tigers this afternoon by a score of 63 to 0. Auburn began with her regular team and played rather poorly ut the start, the plays being pulled off very slowly.

The tackling on tho part of Auburn men was high and lacked the usual sharpness which has characterized their work again and again with stronger teams than Mercer and considerable fumbling prevented their running up a bigger score. Tim Auburn defense was loose, Mercer being able several times to gain tho required distance, once endangering Auburn's goal. Auburn put in several substitutes during the last half and they made a good showing as compared with the regulars. Mercer was green, but very plucky and fought until the end of the second half. The clay was too warm for fast football playing.

The Auburn invalids, Captain Wilkinson, (Quarter McClure and Center Batson, were not able to get Into tlie contest, which Is a cause of uneasiness to the supporters of the Orange and Blue.

By reason of the past records of the opposing teams the game promises to be Interesting. The High school boys will go up against the Military institute greatly handicapped in the matter of weight. The local team is as fast as lightning, however, and Is confident of a victory over tlie visitors. Coach Leslie H. l'rince.

Relieves that the trick plays and liekd work of his team will offset the advatnage of weight which the Marion team has. The High school boys have a a aXcetlent record to begin with, and Coach Prince of the High school and Coach Counselman of Howard believe the team this year will surpass that of last year, which won the state school championship. This year's team has won every game played, and only one team has scored against it. The High school claimed the state championship last year, and intends going after the school championship of the south tills year. Marlon is also striving for this honor, and things look interesting, Indeed.

A written agreement has been entered Into by the managements of the contesting teams not to Issue any side Una passes whatever, except to representatives of the local newspapers. This move Is an excellent one and will meet with the hearty approval of the football public for in all football games played in this city in the past It has always been next to Impossible for the average spectator to get view of tho game, so dense has been the crowds along the side lines, in order to make assurance doubly sure in this regard a barbed wire fence will surround the field of play, and plenty of policemen will be ready to put back ail persons who attempt to get on the gridiron.

Instead of charging 75 cents admission and 25 cents for grandstand, It has been decided to make the general admission price $1 this year and throw open the grandstand free. The only seats that will be reserved are thoso In the 36 boxes which lino the front of the stand. The price of tickets for these seats, including admission to the grounds, will ho In order to handle the vast crowds easily, all the ticket offices, five In number, at the grounds will be put in commission, and competena ticket sellers will be on hand to hand out the pasteboards.
