tackle on this years Carlisle Indian football
team, possesses name which for appropriate
uniqueness takes the scalp from all former
oddly named redskins at the Carlisle school.
Waseukas name translated from the original
Sioux to English is Throws-t-up the -air-and-
catches-it.'' Left Tackle ''Throws-it-up- the
-and-catches-it'' is all-around athlete, %
years old, and is Of the huskiest line play
ers that has ever booted the pgskin.
1t is noteworthy that in playing the final
seven games in this years football schedule
the redskins will have to travel more than 6, 600
miles The six games which follow at regular
weekly intervals the Oct. 20 game with the
Western University Of Pennsylvania are to be
played at Philadelphia, Buffalo, Boston, Minnie
apol1s, Cincinnati and Norfolk. The contest at
Bu1talo against Syracuse university will likely
draw immense crowds from the interior OF New
York state, 1nasmuch as nearly one-hfth of the
Indians at the Carlisle school hail originally
from New York reservations. The Buffalo game
