Carlisle, Pa, Oct. 6.-The Carlisle In
dian football eleven this year is the
likeliest team, the famous redskin edu-
cational institution has ever turned out;
but it is also, in, all probability, the
strongest aggregation Of aboriginal
athletes ever brought together here.
The Indians themselves believe that
the selection of their different posi-
tions is ideal, and that the team will
be able to give good account Of itself.
Head Coach Bemus Pierce and Frank
Hudson, assistant coach, are keeping
an eye open for new football material
which may develop possibilities either
this or next season. So far they have
brought to" the fore Owl, a good man
at fullback; Brave, Thunder and Billy,
exceptionally good tackles; Ricketts,. a
particularly Par % good end, WI who may be in
son; Island, a quarterback of strong
points; White, a competent halfback,
and Simpson, a capable end.
