and but few brilliant plays were made.
The play was slow. and more time was
taken up during the two halves while play
ers from both sides recovered their breath
than vas consumed in actual playing.
While Louisville failed to score, the victory
was not rs decisive as the followers OF the
Manual Training School had hoped to wit
ness
The Louisville boys displayed an ugly
spirit after the first touchdown made.
They were at first angered by the alleged
coaching from the lines of Noyes and Win
tiers. who have been handling the training
school team. and the lack of police to keep
the people of the field. During both halves
the crowds were allowed to push onto the
field. and. while the playing was not inter-
fered with. there was too much coaching.
The Louisville boys were accompanied by
thirty rooters. while about four hundred of
the friends of the Indianapolis team turned
cut to witness the game, but there was a
woefui lack OF enthusiasm both sides
The warm air seemed to weaken the play
ers and they did rot show the spirit in the
game that they should. There were any
number OF men laid out for q few moments
at a time, part of them being winded and
others bluffing for time. There were no
changes made In the lineup of the two
teams during the first half, end in the
opening OF the second half the same men
entered the game. Louisville made the first
change. Ryan being slightly injured and
Vaughn taking his place at right end. Just
before NJ. T. II. s. made the second touch
down Epstein relieved Roy at right tackle
and Kahlert went to right half in place of
Barnard. short time after this two
changes were made in the Indianapolis line,
Dennis replacing Hotz at right half and
Woodbridge going to left half in place of
Wheeler.
EVENLY MATCHED IN WEIGHT.
The teams were about evenly matched In
weight. but the Indianapolis boys were
more evenly balanced and they also
showed better training. Louisville pre-
scented a weak spot I'm the line at right
tackle and right guard. and when the
NJ T. III. s. boys played against those posi-
tions they invariably made gains. After
advancing the ball by line plays, end runs
were attempted, which did not prove as
good ground gamers as the line play, ex-
cept in a few instances. The Indianapolis
boys should have devoted more plays to
sending such men as Kaylor. Wheeler,
Hotz. Krull and Picket through the weak
places in the visitors line. Kittle and
Steele also did good work in advancing the
ball for Indianapolis, while the tacliing of
Pickett was very good. Kay.or was ex-
ceedingly clever in his interference, and
through his aid many of the gains were
made. When he was signaled he would
open up a hole in the line and carry the
man with the ball along for few yards.
The nearest Louisville came to scoring
was early in the first half when Nj. T.
H. >. had advanced the ball after the kick
of. but Wheeler soon fumbled within fif-
teen yards of the goal line Louisville
made n strong attempt to carry the ball
the fifteen yards, but Indianapolis held the
line for two downs, and then Louisville
punted-
CHOSE WEST GOAL.
Indianapolis won the toss and chose the
west goal. Atkinson kicked off for Louis
willie for forty yards and Krull returned
the bali eight yards before being downed.
The ball was passed back TO Wheeler.

Indianapolis held Ryan. Haires attempted
a run, and on an off-side play Louisville
was penalized ten yards. Mcdonald made
. short punt and Shideler secured the oval.
The play was dangerously near the In
Glanapoiis goal and the oval was passed to

OF danger. Middleton caught the ball, but
before he could make gain he was tackled
By Shideler. Wheeler and Krull punctured
the line for two yards each and then
Captain Hotz skirted the visitors right end
Tor twelve yards. Reed attempted a similar
play. but lost four yards. Indianapolis
was held and Louisville secured the ball
Ryan went through for twelve yards and
was tackled by Shideler. Barnard hit the
line for a six-yard gain and then Haines
the line and sent him TO the ground with
N loss of two yards After two short
gains were made by Mcdonald, Louisville
lost on downs with the play in the center
OF the field. Kittlc was given an oppor-
funity and he responded with a twelve
yard gain. Captain Hotz then took the
ball and. with beautiful interference by
Kaylor. who had been called back or tho
line for the play, Hotz circled the right
end for a thirty-five-yard run. Two short
gains placed the bsll within fifteen yards
OF the coveted goal. Hotz and Steele went
through the right tackle for short gains
and then Krull jumped the line, planting
the ball within a Few feet OF the goal
line. Wheeler was then forced over the
lire for touchdown
