INDIANS IN POOR PHYSICAL SHAPE.
1t is fact. noted more than once by football eX-
perts that the Carlisle Indians do not close their
sea son as strong as they begin It or with the zest
that marks their mdseason play. They usually
arrange such hard schedule that as the season
draws toward close they become a-weary OF the
warpath and the cry TO battle does not arouse
them as of yore. This was the case yesterday
The Indians had played both Harvard and the
University of Pennsylvania Of the Big -Four,
this season. and had also had games with several
other strong teams. 1t is little wonder that some
Of their warriors were and spent with the
struggle still young yesterday. They showed this
at the very start. They sluggish and lacked
alertness. Before they had their eyes fairly open

first half they put up stubborn delence thdl

offence however, no good. and 1t was not
until the second half after the Tigers had won
another touchdown and goal. that the Indians
really began to play their game. Then they took

But It was for only brief time and then the
redskins fell back. lest their snap and played
wholly on the defensive That is the tale Of the
game and the poor condition Of the Indians was
doubt large factor. This Is not saying, how
ever that had they been perfectly fit the result OF
the contest would have been greatly changed. Had
the opposition been more fierce and their goal
greatly menaced the Tigers would probably have
put more ginger into their work for It has been a
Characteristic Of the Princeton eleven this year
that they do not work when work seems at all
supernuous. In great contrast to the Indians the
Tigers were wholly At. and showed toughness and
seasoning straight through. The changes that
made in the team were ordered by the
coaches simply to give the substitutes chance,
and not because the regular men were laid out
THE TIGERS GREAT Defence.
On the whole. the Princeton elevens work pleased
It's coaches and friends good deal. and was amply
good enough to make the Yale worry even
more than they are doing now On the defence the
Tigers we're wenlch impregnahle, and the only
other team 10 show anything like the stone wall that
they formed has been Harvard and against the
Indians Harvard's defence faulty Many
spectators Yesterday expressed the wish that a
game could be played between Harvard and Prince
ten believing that Harvard's greater dash and
ferceness the offence might just about offset
Prlnceton's stubborn and wonderfully successful
defence.
GREAT DASH AT TIMES.
BE that It may. Prinre,ons work yesterday
showed great improvement over anything she has
cone previously this Aside from the de-
fence which has just been characterized superb.
Princeton showed aggressiveness at times when
she had the ball. that was almost irresistible Her
interference formed like clockwork and her half
backs went into the line Ike cannon balls. But the
trouble was that the Tigers played this sort OF
game far too seldom They did the trick often
enough 10 show what stuff they had in them. but
by no means frequently enough To denote that the
Princeton eleven has reached well rounded. cham
pionship form. At the very beginning Of the game
Princeton started of with terrific dash. but after
making the first easy touchdown the jersey players
let themselves down peg or two and by slowing
up even under the goal line OF the Indians missed
couple OF good chances TO score Soon after the
opening Of the second half however. Princeton
again awoke TO the possibilities OF football, and
began a hammer-and-tongs. rip-slap-bang style
OF play that tore up the Indian ranks and made
touchdown its prompt and legitimate fruit. II
