CARLISLE TEAM
GOING VERY FAST
Coaches Have Not Pushed the
Redskins in the Past
Week.

Special to The Journal. -, & -
4 Carlisle, Pa, NoY. 2.-The Carlisle football
eleven is probably In as good shape to finish
the football season any team in the coun-
try. They are able, I'm case the Indian coaches
should see fit to do so, to place on the Indian
backfeld. four well-trained players who are com.
petent to run a hundred yards in ten seconds,
If they wish to do SO. Archie Libby at quarter
back and Frank Mount Pleasant and Hendricks
at fullback,. as well as Wilson Charles a
possibility for fullback, could cover ground
faster than any like combination of college
youth anywhere In the country. These back
field players are at any time interchangeable
and can be filed up with such men as Dubois,
Winnie Owl and Simpson, who average in
weight enough to make q heavy backfe1d. In
front of the Indian line there are many very
fast runners; among them are Captain Exen-
dine, who runs quarter-mile In almost record
breaking time and whose eighty-fve-yard run
with the whole Pennsylvania team dribbling
from his heels In last Saturdays game, was
a perfect eye-opener; Gardner. who is strong
on the 100 and quarter-mile dashes; La ROGUE
who lead the Pennsylvania eleven a race sim.
liar to Exendine's; Lnbo, the Mission Indian
100-yard dash man. and Waseuka, the mar
velous runner from North Dakota. n
The Indian lineup for the last few days has
been as follows: Lett end, Gardner; left tackle,
Waseuka; left guard, Dillon; center, Hunt;
right guard, La ROGUE; right tackle, Lubo;
right end. Captain Exendne; quarterback A.
Libby; left halfback, Frank Mount Pleasant;
right halfback, Hendricks; fullback, Little
Boy. .'Es.
Nearly everyone who has written about the
Indian Pennsylvania game has the honest be.
lief that the Indians were aided in their late
victory over the quakers largely by Penn
sylvania's inability to handle Mount Pleas
anus remarkable punts, these observers did
not realize that Mount Pleasant with his won
derful ingenuity places his punts low with
definite purpose in mind. Every redskin on the
Carlisle squad is especially well equipped to
mix up In scramble for a lost pigskin,. and
there is no doubt but that many big elevens
In the country will bear testimony to this
phase Of the. Indians athletic agility before
the seasons close.
The weeks practice for the aboriginees has
been very inconsequential, owing to the strain
imposed them up until and at the Penn
sylvania game, where they showed up in such
fine form.
On Monday the Indians were given little to
do, by the coaches, but on Tuesday the prac-
tice warmed up a little bit under the inhu-
ence of the approach Of the three big games
coming on three successive weeks, with SYRIA
cuse at Buffalo, Harvard at Cambridge, and
Minnesota at Minneapolis. On Tuesday the
men were first limbered up and then put thru
brief signal practice, and were given ample
exercise at punttng and running down under
punts. 1nasmuch the redskins bore very few
bruises as a result of the battle at Phtladel.
phia last Saturday, the attention of the coaches
has been given to putting the men into seven
better physical form than they have been. On
Wednesday there was short scrimmage be-
tween the first and second Indian elevens which
resulted In close score slightly to the ad-
vantage of the regular eleven. Thursday morn
ing practice was the only morning practice
during the week that amounted to anything.
It followed a Wednesday evening chalk talk
in the cage by Coach Hudson, who brought out
clearly the lesson taught by the amazing weak
ness OF the University of Pennsylvania eleven.
