HASKELL AND CARLISLE.
Two Big Indian Schools May Play
Christmas Day.

Kansas City, Nov. 17-EIf the Haskell In
dams will consent to the game, foot
ball contest of greater Importance than
ever seen in Kansas City or vicinity viii
be played here on Christmas day. Dale D.
Gear, manager of the Thanksgiving day
game between Kansas and Missouri, re-
ceived a letter from the Carlisle Indian
management yesterday stating that the
eastern team would plays Haskell here
Christmas If the latter school was willing.
The Carlisle Indians will take trip to
the Pacific coast after the close of the
regular season, meeting the strongest
teams of the west, and It is doubtful If
more attractive game could be arranged
than one between the two big Indian
schools of the country. 1t was first
thought that Carlisle would not play Has
kel, but now that the eastern scnool las
given it's consent, Haskell will probably
take up the proposition, as a game of this
kind was talked of early in the season and
then there is the financial end to be con-
sidered which would mean a big thing.
The only drawback would be that Haskell
would have TO keep in training a month
after the close of the regular season. but
there are many features to game with
Carlisle. which would make 1t worth
while.

RETAINS THE CUP.
Emporia College Defeated in Mon
days Football Contest

Emporia, Kan, Nov 1.-THE game be-
tween the State Normal and the En-
poria college Monday afternoon settled
this seasons fight for the Mitway cup.
NOrmals 70, College was the score, and
the Normal will retain the cup for an
other year The game was the most
interesting game of the season here, not
only because it was between two En-
poria teams, but was featured by long
runs and sensational tackles. The Col
lege started out for victory and the
first half ended to 5 in the Colleges
favor. The Normal kicked off first to
the College and the preachers cross ed
the field to eight yards from the Nor
NAL goal and lost on an attempt at
field goal The first time the Normals
got the ball the college held them for
downs. After the first touchdown by
Weyler, for the College, the Normal rail-
lied and was in the lead the rest of the
game. The first Normal score was made
ten seconds from the end of the first
half by Captain Mcfarland on a line
buck. the second half went from guard
and end to behind the line and the loss
in the College line was very percepib e.
Iouthan and Samuels got around the
end occasionally for good gains and
when Culbertson played half he made
regular advances.
For long runs, however the Normal
was way in the lead. The best play of
the game was Quarterback SHELLS re-
covery of kick off and an S0-yard run
for a touchdown. The referee, however,
returned the ball to the College 2O-yard
line because Smell ran outside bounds.
Masters made several 20 and 25 yard
runs and Captain Mcfarland was not
found wanting in getting around the end
for long gains. Fuliback Kents long
suit was on line bucking straight
through center. The Normal backs were
played for most of the gains and several
times quarter back runs were success
fui HNndman. tackle. advanced the
ball occasionally. The Normal punted
but little. For the College Culbertson's
punting and Weyler's sure tackles say d
the College from a worse defeat. The
Normal backs in the second, repeatedly
and were successfully tackled by Wey-
Ter.
