surprise to those who follow the
game closely. The decisive defeat OF
the University OF Pennsylvania by the
lighter eleven from the Carlisle Indian
School. and the triumph of Cornell
over Princeton excite most wonder. In

Will do both Princeton and Pennsyl-
varia much good in Informing them
OF their weaknesses In advance OF
their great games next month.
The Indians were known to have a
wonderfully fast and gritty team, and
one composed OF veterans, who have
had scientific and strategic football
ground into them for years by Glen
Warner. one of the most original re-
aoutceful and successful coaches that
ever handled a team. The Triumph OF
the indians was victory for Warner,

The endurance, the neetness and the
brilliant coaching OF the Carlisle team
place them in class by themselves.
Then. too, their season began earlier,
and the eleven has attained nearer til c
maturity of its powers than. perhaps,
any other on the gridiron. But above
nll this. the genius and the patient work
of Warner shone in every play. Their
defense was swift. compact and we'll

organization. The victory OF the team
