on THE wARPATn.
A. and N. Grldiron VIII be the Scene Of
Fierce Football Game Monday.

| TiStSe ToVtoah udnc WOnutl.
College Station, Tex, Nov. o.
Did you ever see football gamer
Did you ever see a band of GENT
inc Red L.kins on the war path.
If not, you will have the chance
to see both at one and the same
time here on the College campus
next Monday afternoon.
The occasion will be the football
game between the famous Haskell
Indians of Lawrence, Kansas. and
the A. * NJ. team.
Are they real Indians, do you
ask?
Yes, they are genuine, full.blood-
ed Indians from the Indian Terri
torY and other Indian reservations,
who are students at the United
States government mission school,
conducted for the higher education
of the Indian race. At Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, is located a similar
Indian school carried on by Uncle
Sam.
There is no game in the world
that requires as much strength and
speed aud endurance and cunning
ness as does football. II is not at
all surprising that race noted for
these very qualities should excel
at football
The two Indian schools are noted
in their respective sections of the
Union for the swiftness and
strength of their football teams,
and so numerous and deceptive are
the tricks they spring that an OPP
posing team never knows what to
look for.
Interest in the approaching game
with the Haskells is running high
here. II is one OF the principal
topics of conversation among the
students. The management eX-
poets the biggest crowd that ever
witnessed a game at College, and
are making arrangements to take
care of them.
The athletic field is in perfect
shape. A wire fence has been
placed around the gridiron to keep
the crowd off the field and the
bleachers have been fenced to pre-
vent bystanders from obstructing
the view.
The II. & T. {. will run a spe
cial train from Bryan to College
leaving the station at Bryan at 2:4s
p. IN. and 3;I5 p. m, and return
ing after the game Both road,
have put on excursion rates from
all points south as far as Houston
and the game is being advertised
in those towns.
But it is to Bryan that the mana
gers are looking for the crowd
There is a strong feeling here tina
as the College boys contribute s.
much towards the material pros
perity of Bryan, the people of Bry
an ought to lend their material anC
moral support to the team on tn
occasion OF a great contest lik
this.
