SHUT OUT LOUISVILLE
THE INDIANAPOLIS ATHLETES WON
BY A 4o-TO-O SCORE.
University of Indianapolis Defeats
POIytechnic-Statc University
Playing i'm Fine Form.

Two weeks ago indianapolis defeated
Louisville by a score of 20 to l.. Yesterday
the two teams played again. and Indian
apoiis ran up a nice string of ~, while the
Colonies tried hard and didn't get any
thing Any enthusiast can see that some
thing has taken place in the last two weeks
to bring about such score as that OF
yesterday. Two weeks ago the Indanap-
oils team was powerful but crude; to-day
the indianapolis team is more powerful
than ever and has added TO its resources
high degree of team work, and the score
OF AZ to represents about the relative
strength OF the two teams. How we'll
coached the Louisville team is could not be
learned. for no sooner would they put the
ball in play than an Amy OF yellow legs
would crash through their line and inter-
cept any little schemes that they may have
planned. Not over four times in the entire
game did Louisville succeed in making the
necessary gains in four downs to retain the
ball, while only once did they gain the ball
from Indianapolis on downs. If an I. A c.
man failed to gain five yards the spectators
were disappointed. and when an l.. A. c.
man gained the spectators were surprised
and that's the way the game went
AS the Indianapolis men, gaudy in their
yellow caps, sweaters and stockings, tuni-
bled from the bus and moved out on the
Held there was an audible chattering of
teeth In the ranks of the Kentuckians. The
locals resembled band of Titans. Kirck-
OH, kercheval, Smithey and Raisback
eacn ABOUT three times bigger than he
ought to be. doomed up like some Colossus
or Rhodes, and whenever any one of them
would take the ball the spectators could
see bunch OF Louisvilians dangilng from

LOCALS ONLY KICK OFF.
indianapolis kicked off in the beginning,
the only time during the entire game. Wiz
iiams caught the kick, but was downed in
trice. In three attempts to advance the
ball Louisville did not gain an inch and
the ball went TO indianapolis. Pattison
smashed around the right end for thirty
yards, and Harry Olin hustled the ball over
the goal line on the next play. Scott
kicked goal and everybody at once knew
that the game would be one-s,ded. This
touchdown had been made in two minutes,
and others followed in such rapid success
sion that at the close of the game some
of the players did not know whether the
score was 40 or 100. j. Frew kicked off for
Louisville, and the yellow legs began
sweeping down the field and carried the
ball to the three-yard line, only to lose it
on tumble, McComb capturing it for
Louisville. McCOmb and j. F'rew made
short gains, very short, however. and on
the third play j. Frew kicked to Hail, who
was thrown in his tracks by Moraweck.
Harry DIN, behind beautiful interference
made fifteen yards. and silver haired Kerr
cheval floundered through for seven more.
Kirckoff tried next and the way in which
he bowled over the Kentuckia:ls was Il eau
ton, not stopping until he was within one
foot of the goal line. Scott was pushed
over for the touchdown from which he
kicked goal.
CLOSE OF FIRST HALF.
In the first play after the next kickoff
Harry Olin sprinted for fifteen yards, Ker-
cheval followed with eight, Smithy for five
and Kirckoff, carrying the whole Louisville
team with him. covered up the remaining
ten yards for a touchdown. Scott kicked
goal The whistle blew a few moments
later, and the first half closed with the
score Is to in favor of indianapolis.
The second half was simply repetition
of the first Indianapolis having everything
its own way. Indianapolis played more on
the defensive in this half. Scott frequently
sprinting, and every time for long dis
tances. The l.. a. G. boys never ap-
preached within hailing distance of Indian
apolis goal line and after the game was
over several of them went ana took look
at it just out of curiosity. The last touch
down was made just few seconds be-
fore the call Of time. Frew had kicked Off
to the mighty Kirckoff, and back he came
Kercheval. PattiSon and Scott kept up the
attack and finally Scott darted through the
line like quail through weeds and Sc
cured the seventh touchdown. While Lou
isvile was outclassed, yet her put
UP n hard fight. The game was clean all
the way through. Moraweck was succeed
cd by Middleton towards the close of the
second half. South Lucas and J. Frew did
some excellent tackling for Louisville. The
crowd was disappointment, not over 200
being in attendance. Getting the Carlisle
Indians here, as has been proposed, is out
of the question, with such crowd Sat-
urday turned out.
