tended business meeting last evening, at

Foot Ball Notes.
The Central High School and Columbia
Athletic Club elevens played a practice
game yesterday, and although the latter

an interesting one throughout. The C. A.

and the High School boys put up good
uphill fight.
The Colombian College eleven admins ter
ed a defeat to the Episcopal High School
of Alexandria on their own grounds yes
terday, the score being 20 to o. The team
work of the Columbian boys was especially
good, while chances for good runs We're
lily settled the game.
The Gallaudets charge the Columbians
with unnecessarily rough playing, and will
not meet them in consequence

Indians Pressed Yale Hard.
By far the largest crowd of the season
was at the field at New Haven, Conn, yes
terday to witness the match between Yale
and the Carlisle Indians. Yale won, is to
o. The game attracted special notice be-
cause of the novel idea or seeing an Indian
eleven, and because of the opportunity of
getting some sort of a, line on the strength
of Pennsylvania, who defeated the visitors
36 to o earlier in the season. Everyone
went with the idea of seeing a well-played
and interesting game and nobody was dis
appointed. The Indians played with snap
that was delightful to see after some of
Yale's slow work. They broke through
Iale'S line with ease until Murphy went in
to captain the team, and their tackling,
while at times high, was always sure.
