PHILADEIrHIA Nov. 6.-Thc Carlisle Indians
treated Pennsylvania and 10000 spectators to
the biggest football surprise of tho season to-
day. Tho Quakers had looked forward to a
hard gnn,e against the crack eleven Of tho
United States training school. but did not en-
pect such n game rs it proved to tic. There was
some question in the minds OF Pennsylvania
followers whether or not the Indians would
hold PENIS team down to q total of 20, but
they were prepared for this. There were a few
who believed that the Carlisle boys would sue
coed In sending the ball between Pennsylvania
goal posts, but it is sntc 10 say that nobody in
the vast crowd anticipated that the Indians
would score twice. Much less did they
