sity of Pennsylvania foot ball team
took it's last practice this afternoon
in preparation for the annual contest
with the Carlisle Indians on Franklin
field tomorrow. The eleven men and
substitutes are in fit condition for the
hard game which they expect the Red
Men to put up. Pennsylvania was
badly beaten by the Indians last year
and the Red and Blue hopes to re-
trieve the defeat by Il handsome score.
The practice this afternoon was of
light order, no risk being taken to
have any of the players laid up from
injuries.
The Indians were to have arrived
here at 1880 o'clock tonight. but the
train on which they We're travelling
was partially wrecked at Mechanics
burg by running into the rear end Of
a freight train, and the engineer and
fireman We're killed. The Redskins
We're considerably shaken up by the
shock of the collision. but none of
them We're hurt. Coach Warner de-
cided to return to Carlisle, instead of
having his men travel all night in day
coaches. Coach Warner telegraphed
that the team will leave Carlisle early
tomorrow morning and will arrive here
about noon.
