HOUSER THE STAR KICKER
Redskins Like the Open Game, and
Are Doing Spectacular Work.
Mount Pleasant the Greatest Quar-
ter in the Game.


race one of the greatest aggregation
OF football fans ever gathered in the
metropolis.
Beyond all doubt the struggle will
be one of the most exciting and inter.
estlng of the year, as both elevens are
IN good condition and both are plavins
the new game with a great deal Of
skill and intelligence.
| Glen Warner, who coaches the Red
skin warriors, declares that his pro-
teges nave made rapid advancement in
the last few weeks and are now show
ing great strength against good COM
plhatlons. The Indians are very fond
or Football under the new rules and
take to the running formations like
| DUCKS TO water. Wise ones predict
that IN the course of a few years Car
isle will take the undisputed leader
ship among the football eleyens of the
country, and there is much to support
such a belief
There is little basis for a compari-
son between the relative strength Of
princeton and Carlisle. AS their first
game of the season the Indians de-
feated Villa Nova by a score of 10 to n
Later Princeton met the same insti-
tuition, winning victory by score of
40 to S. Penn State, which defeated
Cornell was vanquished by the Indians
to the tune of Is to S.
While it is possible that the eleven
from Growers town may win a victory
by better team work, the Indians will
at least afford the New York enthu-
siasts an opportunity of seeing one of
the best, if not the best, place kickers
IN the history of the American game.
Houser is the dusky chap who has
kicked his way into the affections ~
all football fans. The Indians are
usually noted for having superior
klckers, Frank Hudson having been
the best drop kicker of his day. War
ner, the Carlisle coach, attributes the
skill of the Redskins in kicking to the
fact that the lower part of the leg is
hung straight from the knee instead of
slightly curving, as is the case with
Caucasians.
Another notable player who will be
seen with the Indians tomorrow Is
Mount Pleasant, who is playing quar-
ter in manner excelled by no other
player in the game, and who is one of
the surest'catches of punts in football.
He is also exceedingly fast and it
takes an uncommonly speedy back to
check him when he gets a good start.
Carlisle has not had a game with
princeton for a long time, and the
redskins will play the game of their
lives in an effort to scalp the Tigers.
Harvard to Meet Brown.
Tomorrow's card at Cambridge calls
for game between Harvard and
Brown university. The Providence in
stitution has a fairly good squad this
year and will tackle the Crimsons
with considerable confidence in their
ability to hold them down to a small
score. A week from tomorrow Brown
viii play Yale at New Haven. and
the comparative scores will furnish
the best available basis of comparison
between the big elevens, prior to the
great game on November 23
Yale should have little trouble in
putting the trimmings on Washington
