CARLISLE, Pa, November 1s.-The Car
Isle Indian foot ball team has felt severe
iy the strain of the last three weeks games
against Harvard. Pennsylvania and West
Point, and is not in the best of shape to
conclude season which has most aus
picious prospects. However. notwithstand-
Ing multitude of small injuries and
minimum of broken bones, the redskins by
shrewdly taking advantage of every turn OF
fortunes wheel, may almost eclipse their
former records in defeating the strong elev-
ems they are up against this and the fol-
lowing week. The Indians went into the
contest with the Massillon Tigers at Cieve-
land with the intention to do or die. They
knew the size and experience of their har-
dy antagonists and fully realized that they
had tough proposition on their hands. The.
game today against the University of Gin
cinnati at Cincinnati, coming. as it did.
three days after the Cleveland battle, was
looked forward to as fray which would
or might simply put out Of commission ev-
cry redskin who survived the Cleveland bat
tie.
On Wednesday, the 22d it is hoped that
enough braves will be left for the Canton
Athletic Club to make mincemeat from, and
Providence itself is looked forward to to
supply the material for the Washington and
Jefferson game at Pittsburg on November
25. AS to the much-talked-of Georgetown
contest, which is to be played at Washing
ton on Thanksgiving day in the presence
of President Roosevelt and the usual dis
tinguished crowd of diplomats and army
and navy officials, every one here thinks
there will be nothing left but for Maj. Mer-
Ger to send his junior varsity eleven to the
national capital.
There has been much talk in the south of
efforts to be and being made to get the
Carlisle Indians to cancel the Georgetown
game and arrange game for Thanksgiving
day at Richmond with the Virginia Poly
technic Institute. These rumors are authori-
tatively denied by the management of the
Indian eleven, which knows nothing of
them.
A brief summary of the condition and
relative worth of the various members of
the Indian eleven and principal substitutes
may be of interest The weights of the men
Immediately follow their names. Wahoo,
100, seems to have entirely recovered his
physical condition, break in which was
caused by a three weeks lay-off with a
twisted ankle. He is unequaled among the
redskins at running down punts, except
possibly by Jude and he has been doing
excellent work at getting across the line
and smashing up the opposition's plays.
Capt Bowen 116, has shown himself to
be the best man on the Indian line. He is
aggressive and an all-round foot ballist.
Dillon, 174 the left guard, advances the ball
with regularity when 1t is in his possession,
gets well under kicks and follows the play
most strenuously. Hunt, 1S3 now at center,
has become, Notwithstanding the lack of
confidence the coaches had in him earlier, a
sure passer and is a strong, well-knit man
for the line Scott, $50, or Dubois. 49, may
play at right guard in the place Of La
ROGUE, who is out for the season on &C
count of a broken rib. Exendine, IT, is in
badly bruised condition and will likely
give way to Roy, who, although only
Weighing 16S, possesses all the qualifica-
lions of a line man and is a hard worker.
Jude, 146, the right end, who made the re-
markable run against West Points sprinters
asst Saturday, is the quickest and sharpest
player in the Indian aggregation. He is very
good at kicking and has the faculty of get
ting the ball on a tumble. Quarter Back
Mount Pleasant, 1885, had so much said of
him that it would be superfluous to add
more. His substitute, Libby, 149, is his equal
on the foot ball field, at least, and plays
the Indians much more rapidly Libby sell
dom fumbles the ball and kicks well.
OF the available left halfbac.s Sheldon
no. and Albanez, 176, are somewhat of the
same type.The formers speciality is in pick
active physically and spends half of his
time on the balls of his feet. Archiquette,
158 at right halfback, is quick and reliable
and his substitute, Charles, Is good ground
gamer and about as good as they make
