trail Section.
| The foot bal! season now closed has
been Il most successful one from Il
| sportsman S point OF view, II not in Il
| financial way Owing to the fence be-
! ing removed from around Alumni park
| the followers of the sport were privi-
| legged to witness the games without
any cash outlay. not even for car fare,
the latter as result of the strike. No
hat was passed around at any of the
games, the local elevens finding other
means that of conducting benefit
socals and lectures for their expense
account in having out-of-town elevens
play here.
The opening of the season found the
following teams ready for games: H.
dian, High School. st. Rose Academy,
Swiftwings Cottage and several minor
teams. among them the High School
| second eleven. The Indians proved to
be stronger than in preceding years.
The Indians played six games. winning
three. tieing one and losing two. They
scored fifty-five points to twenty-one
by their opponents. Their two defeats
| came from two of the strongest ;na-
teur elevens in the state, Athens and
| Hazleton. The former team are in the
| same class as Syracuse and Bucknell
college elevens which teams line up
against the big college teams. The

Il score of 15 to g. at Athens, in Il game
| which the papers of that place de-
| scribed as being the most interesting
| exhibition of the year.
The Indians were handicapped, owing
to the absence of their regular quar-
| terback. Crane. and their center, Will
iams. At Hazeton they played a mag
| niicent game, and according TO Halle
| ton papers acted like true sportsmen.
| This game was said to be the best of
| the YEAR on the best ever seen in
| i1aZleton. To give one an idea of the
| strength OF the latter towns represcn-
| tative SridirOn heroes we have only to
| cite the game two weeks ago of the ST.
| Thomas College eleven of Scranton,
| against them, when the Scranton
eleven WAS showed under by Il score of
thirty-two to a large nought. The two
| teams above given as victors over the
| local stars secured the sum total OF
points scored upon the indians this
| year. All through the state the fame
| of the indian foot BAH team is known,
and next season. if the stars again don
| their molcskins they will not lack for
| games with The strongest teams in this
| state.

High School.
| For the first time in Il number of
years the High school had Il represen-
| tative eleven on the field. The team

Other Elevens,
81 Rose academy eleven played but
one game, Il tie with the local high
school boys. The Cottage won u game
from the Swiflwings and played Il tie
game With the same eleven. The latter
eleven played four games, losing one to
tied games with Il Pittston team. TAX
Ing the standing of the elevens of this
season ii is very good, and the outlook
for next season looks bright for foot
ballsts, Several Of the Indians have
said they would not be in the game
nest season, but it is safe To say that
lhey will all decide to play when time
IL called for practice.
A New Athletic Park.
Where 10 play the home games Is the
question NOW being debated and il is
probable that before another season
rolls around We win have an enclosed
park for that sport as was for baseball
and the park win be more accessible
lhan Alumni park. Some of the park
dgilators believe that the plot known
as Sandy's field could be leased and
liked up for a park while many 9TH
CIs are of the opinion that the best
place would be on the Russel park
tract in the rear of the new Catholic
