THE INDIANS THE FAVORITES.
There was a good crowd the Polo Grounds
yesterday, despite the cold northwest wind that
swept across the field. and II was crowd that dis
played the usual football enthusiasm good-sized
delegation accompanied the Brown team from
Providence but the Brunonan adherents were
scattered all over the grandstand, so that there
was little concerted cheering. although plenty OF
noise There was a good exhibition Of colors. but
the Indians plainly the favorites OF the large
majority Of the spectators. on the grandstand as
well as on the beachers The "Brown-bred boys
should not complain this however. for Yale got
the same treatment when she tackled tho redskins
on the same field three weeks ago. a New-lork
crowd takes kindly TO the Indians and yesterday 1t
rooted" for the aborgines In great shape Root
Ing" however does not always win games II
didn't win tho Brown Indian game last year. and 1t
failed again yesterday.
THE RIGHT SORT OF FOOTBALL.
The game itself was exhibition OF good. clean
straigh, football. OF the kind that does the sport
good and stops the TRADES OF opponents. There
was an absence of smuggling II any went on /,
was Of the quiet sort that amounts merely 10 an
interchange OF private compliments between the
players In the line The crowd. at least saw little
OF II. The injuries too, were few and not serious
Two OF the Indians. Wheelock and Mcfarland, were
obliged TO leave tho game on account Of injuries
but all the Brown who went into the game
when the whistle blew there when time was
I'D Captain "Davy" Futz got few wrenches to
his game knee. but the knee was not az game as
Futz. and he bobbed up serenely after each fali.
PRoWN.s RUNNERS WIN THE GAME.
Brown principally because of the ability OF
her running halfbacks. Fultz and Cammons.. who's
efforts were well seconded by Richardson the
little quarterback. Behind the END and tackle
over" play these three players made the long runs
that won the game The Indians handled the ball
much more cleanly than their pale-faced opponents.

| vo.,.,aav.s game was more than usually inter
| a.,ng This fact is due to tho open character OF
| the game PLAYED. Captain Fultz knew that
| Browns strong hold was IN the running game. and
he sent his men frequently around the ends and
| across the ned. The fullbacks frequently ex-
| changed hunts and while Metoren was too much
| for Hall when II came 10 distance pun,ins the

| TO get UP after the ball. These tactics resulted

touchdown and Bemis Pierce failed on an easy try
for goal. making the score to o. The crowd was
| iubilant and howled for the Indians until the
bleachers ratified. while the Indian Substitutes on
the sdenes performed sun dance. The Brown
suh,titites drew their blankets closer about them
and said. grimly; wait. You'll see!' So the
crowd waited and saw.

seemed imminent. Gammons. the speedy took the
hall for the final plunge, but in the scrmmage ne
dropped It, and when the heap cleared away an
indian was found cssping the pgskn behind the
