THE INDIANS VICTORS.
The NormaIitcS Defeated :n a Snrppy
 Eco: Bali Game

The foot ball contest yesterday after
 noon between the Indian school team and the normal school boys, which re-
 suited in a victory for the Indians by score of 10 to 5, was distinguished for
 many brilliant plays on both sides, the absence of any rough playing and fair decisions on the part of the um- pire of the game. It was one of the cleanest games throughout that the people of this city have witnessed, and the expertness of the players, together with the excellent conduct of The men,
 has helped to lift the gridiron sport
 to c higher standard in Phoenix The crowd was large, and among the root CTS" were many of the beautiful girls which the Tempe Normal school con tains. The normal team has improved wonderfully, and there is noticeable improvement also in the playing of the Indians, although they lack the spirit of vim and Quickness in lining up which characterize the white boys. This discrepancy is gradually becom- ing less apparent with every game, and contact with the other teams will no doubt eradicate 1t entirely in a
 short time. Among the Indians dis tinction for hard playing was won by Buck, Burke, Silves and Coster, and
 Stelzreide, Haigler, Pearce and Woolf of the normals carried the honors of that team in the game. The lineup was as follows:

 The Indians won the toss, took the field, and the normals kicked of. The Indians ran the ball twenty yards from goal and Buck carried 1t through five yards to center, Burke taking the ball for a gain of six yards. Randall took it three yards. and after two trials the normals won down. Stelzreide advanced the ball three yards; Haigler carried it three yards more, and after repea ted trials the Indians placed the ball on the fifteen yard line. Burke sent the ball thirty yards TOT left hand play, which was followed by series of quick line plays and end runs in which the ball was carried to within five yards of the normal goal. The normals braced up with new vigor and captured the ball on downs. On the first down the normalS attempted to kick the ball and were blocked by Silvas of the Indians, and the ball was captured by Fowler and carried for a touchdown across the normal goal. The ball was bunted out for fair catch. but failed to reach goal. Score, to 0 in favor of the Indians.
 The ball was carried to center by the normals, kicked of, and the Indians returned it to the thirty yard line. It was held near center by the Indians until the close of the first half. The Indians kicked to the normal ten-yard line, and the ball was returned to the twenty-yard line The normals in- dulged in, the Pennsylvania guards back play for repeated gains. Stelz- reide circled the end for twenty yards. i Another attempt at guards-back play resulted in the ball falling into the hands of the Indians on downs. It was returned a few yards by line buckins and end runs, but the ncrmals re- gained it. The normals then with re- ! peated guards-back plays made the f1fty-yard line. when Stelzreide was given the ball and the best play Of the | day was made by him for the normals 1. in making a successful touchdown by ; a circling play. The ball was pre- sented for goal trial but failed. The i Indians took it to center for the kick | eff, and t was secured 1-y the ncrtnels
