Elevsz powerful young men from The

game ef football WITH their more expert
enrs6 pzie-faeed brothers % the Seattle
Athletic Club yesterday afternoon q; he
Madison street grounds When the whistle
brought the showing and naulins match 70
an end the score showed that the paIe-facsd
young men had scored nine to1chcovns
and seven goals, total CO 20 poiats, as
against zero for the young men Of the
bronze faces
Considering the fact that the Indians
Rave been playing the game only thres
weeks, and have received no coaching.
they made a creditabis showing. The :.
\. G. team ou;playee them at every point.
but this does not necessarily indicate thas
the 3. A. G. team is unusually strong. In
fact its defensive work On the whole was
not up 10 expectations. In offensive work
the story Is a different one. and IL must
be admitted that the interference was so
strong and well planned as 20 become the
feature OF the game. Hun, Burrows,
Wagner, Brinker and Blanek deserve spe-
ciai mention IN this respect Many OF the
long runs by Westiake ard Lehfeidt were
due In great part 70 the protection afford
ed them after they had reached danger
Gus ground and the Indians were chRrg-
ing from all directions. Burrows made
several splendid runs with the ball. and
SURPRISED ever yD1uE Nv the way he KoI
down the field on kicks. Lehfeldt and
Westiake played strong game at half.
and Hergert, who finished out the game
In Lehfeldts place. showed UP better than
last year. FaIconer's work at quarter
was decided Improvement over that Of
the Y. II. c. A.-U. of w. game. Larsen
Elancks punting. line bucklng getting
into interference and goal kicking caused
the Indians 10 hold him In great respect.
They talked abou, him coming In on the
car and decided that ne was very slick"
Bianck kicked seven out of nine trials at
goal. Three Of the goals were from acute
angles, and while IL may seem paradox
cal, II is true nevertheless that he kicked
pTeftier and stTaighter under these cir
eumstances than he did when almost IN
front OF the goal.
The offensive play of the s. A c. team
was too strong for the Indians. and early
in the game II became evident that II was
simply a question Of how many times the
bah would be showed across their goal.
Only once was the :. A. c. goal in the
slightest danger. and then the Indisns lost
the ball on downs. 1t is well to note that
while the 8. a. c. defense was not up ID
the mark. yet the Indians could not hold
the ball for any grea. length of time. The
Indians either lost on downs or a tumble.
The $. A. C. men fumbied little and were
very quick In falling on the ball II an In
Glah t0IDDicd.
The game played by the Indians was
especially weak in tackiiug. When one Of
them did nail an :. A. G. runner. he had
held Of him 50 high up on the body that the
s. A. c. man was not thrown on his feet.
in an instant there would be five or six
5 A. c. men carrying runner and tackles
along for big gains. The result ought 20
show the Indians that their game needs
Improvement. especially In this particular.
With more practice and a better under
