LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 2-The game
between the Indianapolis Manual Training
High School and the Louisville Male High
School was too One-sioed to be interesting.
Indianapolis Outplayr Louisville at every
point. and the score uses not by any means
show the superior strength of the Indiana
men. Captain Kittle and his men went
into the game with the determination to
WIZ i'm the first five minutes, and they car
RED out their purpose. Within five min
utes from the kickoff Woodbridge was
sent over the line for touchdown. Six
more points were scored in this half, and
when time was called the ball was on
Lousville's ten-yard line.
In the second half Training School scored
soon after the kickoff by steady gains
from her own thirtyyard line. After this
third score Training School kicked every
time she had the ball on first down. the
object being to try out the strength Of the
team in a kicking game. Krull was unable
TO play in the game, and Kittle did all the
punting for NJ. T. T. s., and did it well
In the first half he Outpunted the Louisville
full back by twenty yards to the kick, but
in the second half the Louisville substitute
full back held his own. In the first half
Louisville made first down only twice, but
in the second half they sent in fresh backs
and at one time carried the ball for twenty
five yards by short end plays from their
own thirty-yard line to the center of the
field. Louisville had first-class interference
for her end runs. and these were only
stopped because Kittle and Steele. the
Training School tackles. and the half backs
playing with them, sifted through the ops
posing line and smashed the play before it
could skirt the end. Indianapolis had no
trouble In advancing the ball and was held
for downs only twice The day was very
warm. but both teams played snappy ball.
The Louisville team did not seem to be in
good condition. They were laid out almost
continually, and before the game was over
they had almost entirely changed their
lineup. No one was injured in the Train
ing School team and time was taken out
only once for them. All the NJ. 7. II. S.
backs carried the ball well, and Kittle,
Steele, Kaylor and Cooper. when called
upon TO advance the ball, ripped through
the opposing line for big gains. Steele was
particularly good at this. The Louisville
men could not stop him, and he frequently
ran or was dragged along five or ten yards
after being tackled. The way in which the
M Il. H. >. men helped one another along
was the most encouraging feature Of the
game from their point of view. Kittle.
Steele and kaylor all opened holes well for
their backs. Fessler and j. Shideler played
well and their ends were not turned a sin
gle time. T. Shideler showed much i'm
pr0vement in his play at quarter. His ham
ding of the bail in the back field on kicks
was very good. although he failed TO make
any long returns. This is largely ac-
counted for by the fact that the Louisville
