THE CADETS AND THE INDIANS
The cadets made an excellent showing
against Yale at West Point week ago Satur-
dav due not chiefly to the fact that Yale was
plavinr some substitutes but owing to steady
and conscientious effort on the part of the mill
tary players Little Kroner played a wonder
ful game at quarterback. and lodged through
the Yale tackles in a way that at times sent
cold shjyers through the Eli supporters. At
one time in the game it seemed as If West
Point would surely score. but Yale pulled out
Of tight hole and kept the record clean.
II has been definitely decided that West Point
and Annapolis shall not have game this year.

little fearful Of the excitement. which at these
contests usually runs pretty high. Every one
would Ike 10 see a game between West Point
and the Carlisle Indians. 1t would De a crosse
contest and one that would call forth the pest
efforts on both sides. The Carlsle lnulans, y!
the way. have shown their usual superb proves
throughout the season, and have proved tnefn-
selves worthy antagonists FOR the keehest zoe.
In fact II is said, that so dellghteo were the
Harvard men with the game the Redskins put
I'D al Cambridge a week ago Saturday that tney
at once booked the Indians for corresponding
date next year. The Harvard cOaches were All
unanimous in declaring that the. lndlahs gave
their nets far and away the best practice or

that they have had At times the Carisie men
ripped the Cambridge line woe open. anu tne
swarthv Indian halfbacks went bOting through
FOR substantial gains. Harvards interference
was rather slow. and what there was OF 1t the
Indians succeeded in breaking up "lthout srea,

squarey defeated but II must be admitted that
one OF Harvard's touchdowns was pretty luchy.
