Interest-Stubborn Defense
by Visitors in Spite of
Odds.

Steckle's men beat the Chemawa
Indians al football on OAC field
Saturday afternoon by decisive
score Of 18 to 0. The game was
hard one, and remarkable for the
undiscouraged losing fight put up
by the Chcmawans II the face of
certain defeat and against heavy
odds. Il is maxim that an Iu-
dian i5 game as long as he Is win
o2ng but that he is a quitter when
convinced Of defeat. Not so With

They lore up the doughty red lskin
3ine and forced them back for gain
after gain. They held their own
ground against every assault OF the
visitors, and forced them to punt
time after time. but the dark skim
ned lads fought every inch OF the
way back to their own goal, rally
Eng in the second half with enough
strength to prevent Steckle's men
from making more than single
'touc hdown. The presence of three
Carlisle men in the line, a tackle,
a guard and the center, with mus.
'cuiar recruits from other Indian
schools makes the Chemawa bunch
this year an eleven that probably
has surprises in store for some of
collegiate teams that they are pro.
grammed to meet. Their lins is
splendid, their spirit magnificent,
their greatest weakness being their
.ofense which could not make
yazdage against the heavy line and
very good defense put up by
Steckle's men.
