WARNER TO COACH
CARLISLE AGAIN
Practice Season for Indians Opened
Monday, and Famous Coach VIII
Have Plenty OF Talented
Assistance

CARLISLE, Pa, Sept. 2.-Glen S. War
ner will have his opportunity to reor-
ganize and rebuild the remarkable foot
ball eleven he constructed some years
ago at the Carlisle Indian school, Begin
ming next week. He had charge of Cor
nell for the last three years, and beyond
doubt helped the Ithacans.
Warmers first assistant this year will
be the famous Indian quarterback,
Jimmy Johnson, who has just been
graduated from the Northwestern Dental
at Chicago. Johnson was the Carlisle
captain in 1908, and was picked by Wal
ter Camp as the all-American quarter
back. Warmers second assistant will be
"Bill' Newman of of-Ithaca, N Y, who was
center on the Cornell eleven last year
and who graduated this spring.
Newman rowed on the Cornell cham
pionship crew for two years. He Will
have charge of the Indian second team,
which will stand in the same relation,
so far as developing Indian first team
material is concerned, as the ordinary
freshman eleven at the big universities.
Newman is of the type of character that
fits we'll with redskinned students. He
may also relieve Warner and johnson at
times of the cares of line work on the
first eleven. The Carlisle officials feel
that for their purposes they will have a
trio of the best coaches to be obtained.
The practice season for the Indians
opens formally on Labor day. and 1T is
not to be doubted that the Indian eleven
will be bright star for the most brilliant
season of American football.
Although the Carlisle team has this
year harder schedule than any other
college or university in the country, the
coach and school officials have decided
that they would not allow any practice
or training before the actual opening of
the school term, which occurs on Sep
tember 2. Many of the Indian athletes
will not return from their summer OUT
ing work until September or 10, but this
will probably not seriously handicap the
work of training.
There can be no doubt that the
redskins schedule is the most difficult
that any American team has ever run
up against. AS evidence of this 1t is here
with appended September n, Carlisle vs.
Albright college at Carlisle; September
25, Indians VS., Lebanon Valley college at
Carlisle; September 2S. Villa Nova at
Carlisle; October q Susquehanna univer-
sity at Carlisle; October 5, Pennsylvania
state at Williamsport; October r. SYRIA
cuse university at Buffalo; October 10,
Bucknell at Carlisle; October 26. Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia; No
vember 2. Princeton at New York; Mo-
vember g. Harvard at Cambridge; Mo-
vember 16, University of Minnesota at
Minneapolis; November 20, University of
Chicago at Chicago.
The loss of Carlisles famous trio
Hunt, center, and Dillon and LaRocque,
guards, is the cause of much sorrow here.
Hunt died in the spring in Oklahoma.
Libby, the we'll known quarterback, has
probably decided to leave his associations
at the Carlisle school for a business
career. He had wonderful future in
store for him and his probable loss is
regretted.
Warner is not certain about the ma
terial he will have for the firsts team,
and it is barely possible that some of
the strong second team players of last
year will get opportunities to demon-
strate their gridiron talents.
The Carlisle management has laid out
in the football field an extra gridlron at
the north of the varsity field, and this
will be the exclusive working ground for
candidate on the second team.
