o by the Sturdy Students of the
Local Institution.
Eleven duSky young men from the To-
nah CWis) Indian school We'd with the
young athletes of the Central high school
for the possession of the pigskn on the
gridiron at Lexington park yesterday
morning.
Contrary to expectations, the visitors
were unable to make substantial gains
through the high school line, and the
final score stood 81 to 0, in favor of the
St. Paul high school.
The St. Paul team early in the game
discovered the weak points in their OPP
ponents' line, and proceeded to take adj
vantage of them. End plays were popular
with the st. Paul boys, and were uni
fOrmly successful right through the
game, while the Indians tried for the
center OF the line and were unable to
make any impression when gains were
most needed.
Quincy, of the Indian team, played the
game Of the visitors and was a favorite
with the crowd, which was the largest
seen on the local field this season. Lig-
gett's long runs around the end and
Quinney's interference were the features
of the game
The visitors could hardly be placed in
the same class with their rivals. The ad-
vantage III weight was on the other side
by a good margin The Reds exhibited
very poor generalship and We're evidently
ratified. The team work was poor.
The Indians were at all times favor
ties with the bleachers, but from the
kick off it was evident that the teams
were poorly matched, and that no scalp
ing would be done by the aborigines.
The high school won the toss and Sc

the Indians of what was to follow. The In
dams got the ball after five minutes play
on a kick made by Liggett that was
blocked and promptly squatted upon by
the big chief of the Winnebagoes. The
locals lost the ball at the twenty-five
yard line, and Swift Arrow, representing
his tribe, surrendered the ball on downs.
Henry G'Bren broke through the line
again exactly duplicating his former per
Torrance. successfully running the
gauntlet and landing the sphcroid on the
ether side Of the line. Brennan failed to
kick goal. Score, 10 to 0.
The locals tried to punt, and followed
this with trick play that gained them
twenty-five yards, and finally lost the
ball on a tumble. One of the assistant
medicine men grabbed the pigskin and
passed ii to Quincy, who kicked 1t thirty
yards Then d high school man fell on it,
A drop kick was resorted to by the To-
Gals, but was not successful. For aha
third time O'Brien broke around the
end from thirty yards and made another
touchdown. Brennan was as unsuccess-
full as before in kicking goal. Score. Is

When the Indians secured the bali

twenty-yard line. but failed. At this
juncture Llggett waded into his dark
skinned opponents, dug the ball out of a
mass Of arms legs and woody heads, and
made the long run of the game, sixty-five
yards, to the goal, with the whole band
of yelling redskins at his heels. The
