q Score of 3 to o..

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Oct. 21.-The Indiana
professional Rugby Football League season
opened in this city to-day with a game be-
tween the Elwood and Anderson fifteens.
All the players were professionals in the old
countries, there being members of the
Welsh, English. Irish and Italian champion
ship teams in the ranks. Contrary to the
general understanding, the game was as
rough and exciting as the American COL
legiate game. The score was: Anderson, 8;
Elwood, 0. Elwood scored two minors and
Anderson one. The feature of the gaze was
the running of Howells. formerly of the
Genoa, Italian champions, and Chapel, of
the Irish champions. Of Dublin, both Ander-
son backs: and the strong line work of
Elwood. The attendance was large.
