The Indianapolis High School football
team scored a decisive victory over the
Louisville High School eleven in the pres
ence of about 500 people at Newly Oval
yesterday afternoon. the final score being
80 TO 0 in favor of indianapolis. The same
teams met at Louisville earlier in the sea-
son and Indianapolis won II to B.
The Hoosier boys displayed wonderful
superiority over the Kentucky lads and
outplayed them at every point, the excel
lent training of the i. II. S. team being
In evidence at all stages Of the game. In
the first half neither team warmed up to
the spirit Of the contest, Indianapolis SEEM
ingly holding back for the rapid work to
be accomplished in the last half. The local
boys were contented with making one
touchdown and goal in the frs. half. but
Louisville did not have the ball in the
Indianapolis territory very often and was
never dangerously near to scoring.
The superior work OF the Indianapolis
boys was shown in the second half. AS
soon as play was called the wonderful
speed displayed by the 1. H. S. players
was marvellous. Indianapolis simply car
ried the Louisville players off their feet
and worked trick plays and end runs so
successfully that the visitors were baffied.
Gains of five and six yards were mere
TRIES for the locals to make and twenty
FIVE, thirty and thirty-five-yard runs were
frequently accomplished. So rapidly did
1. II. S. work that Louisville was unable
TO stop CT impede the progress of the In
dianapolis players as they carried the ball
down the field for one touchdown after
another. Four touchdowns were scored in
the second half and Louisville never had
possession of the ball after the kick offs.
The Indianapolis boys played with rapid
ity that would do credit to the Empire
State express. They hit the opposing line
like a battering ram and skirted the two
ends for long gains. The runners were
given superb interference in nearly every
effort TO advance the ball. The Dean
brothers, the two ends OF the Indianapolis
team, Wylie, TOlin and Masters were sue
Sessful in dodgins the tacklers OF the
Louisville team and made good gains
around the ends and occasionally through
the tackle Clark went through the line
ike "a thirteen-inch shell and was never
dOwned until he had placed the ball nearer
the Louisville goal.
So fast was the play Louisville had to
change several men IN the line during the

showed great endurance, while Louisville
