Minutes.
DON'T KNOW THE POINTS.
The Game Was u Farce, Milligan and
Keefe Being the Only Players
to do any Brilliant
Work.

The Indians came from Philadelphia
yesterday and played at Union street
grounds against the Wilmington A. A..
They were not the Carlisle Indians, but
this is the only name that the Philadel-
phia Dental College should be called, as
they were gang of men who acted as
If they had never seen foot ball game
before. Some of them certainly missed
their vocation, but could easily get job
as clowns in a circus, as they certainly
amused the spectators with their comical
actions and sayings. The quarter back,
especially, created lots of fun by telling
the referee and other officials that they
did not know the game, and the way he
coached his team was very amusing. But
nevertheless, some of the team played
good hard foot ball. Keefe, their captain,
deserves great credit for the way he
bucked the line and he several times
came near scoring on him 30 and 40
yard runs around the end. Balmer and
Richie also bucked the line for good
gains as they had an easy thing in going
between Rile and Rumford. This is the
team that played the Wilmington A A.
a tie game and they got off lucky at that,
for if it had not been for such players as
Milligan, Foster and Dobb, they would
surely have beaten the home team. Lit
tie Milligan deserves great credit for his
playing as his tackling and running with
the ball was feature of the game. Fos-
ter and Smoote also made good gains
with the ball, and Dodds' tackling was
very good.
