INDIANS EXPECT HARD GAME.
Coach Warner Believes Chicago Is
Stronger Than Minnesota.

Chicago. Nov. 19.-"If the Chicago team
is stronger than Minnesota. aad We have
every reason to believe * is. we viii very
likely Dee beaten next Saturday" said
Coach Glen Warner OF the Carlisle In
dian School football team yesterday.
Minnesota gave Us a very hard game
But We We're not surprised and were pre-
pared for bitter struggle. The GopherS
oftCnse was much more powerful than
that Of a year ago. Minnesota was heavier
than the Carlisle boys. and fought harder
than they did last year.
1T seems - be generally believed in
Minneapolis that Williams men played q
much better game against us than against
Chicago But Chicago has developed
since their game in Minneapolis, and We
look upon the Maroons as the toughest
proposition in the West. Our boys are
badly battered and bruised. Most OF them
have charley horse, and Mount Pleasant
our star man. is laid UP with a broken
thumb. Chicago appears to have every
thing n its favor for that game next Sat
urday."
