CARLISLE, Pa, Oct. 1.-Coach Glen S.
Warner of the Carlisle Indian school has
developed the material from which the
Carlisle Indian football squad will be
made up this season, and although a
couple of boys may be addeu to the red
skin aggregation later on from promising
aspirants, the outline is practically COM
pleted.
The principal candidates for center are
the Eskimo, Schouchuk, Aiken, Little
Boy and Wheeler. For the position of
guard, Afraid-of-a-Bear, Lyon, Long,
Saul and Tai Crane are leaders, although
Little Boy may play in this position. 1t
tackle Captain Lubo, Waseuka. Little
Oldham, Penny and Jordon seem to have
the call.
End positions are much sought after,
probably because of the opportunities
they offer for the characteristic Indian
style or play Carlisle rejoices in three
sets of enos, and then some. They are
Exendine and w. Gardner, George Gard
ner and Bowen, Round Stone and Two
Hearts and Felix. There is no scarcity
of half backs, as witness the names OF
Payne, Hendricks, Thorpe, Winnie, II.
Libby, Little Wolf, Thompson and White.
At full back, Houser, Owl and Monheart
are favorites.
urday, which was won by the Indians by
score of 40 to 0, was unfortunately
played in a driving rain, but nevertheless
showed that the Indians offensive work
was strong, and that they were stayers
on the defensive in the mud at least.
The Indians average weight in the Leb-
anon Valley game was hardly more than
1885, but their opponents were fifteen
pounds lighter and did not seem to be
able to get fair foothold on the slippy
soil. Really little could be told of the
intrinsic merit of the Indians game, be-
cause of the abnormal weather condi-
| tions.
Rule Books Studied
Blackboard talks and instructions in
the rules have been the trder for the
past week in the mornings, as Indian
coaches all believe that their men should
know the rule book from cover to cover.
In the afternoon few of the late COM
ers dribble along on fundamentals, while
those who had passed the preliminary
satisfactorily were run through signals
and general team work.
| Mount Pleasant, the famous quarter
back, is not in as good shape for punting
this year as formerly, although he prom
| ises to be a marvel at other kinds of foot
ball work He is undoubtedly a good
| quarterback, of keen judgment, and is
| immensely well liked, but he seems to
lack the ability to inspire his fellow play
| ers as much as they would like to be
| inspired, and is unquestionably slow in
handling the plays Joe Libby, who was
one of last years favorites, is on the In
dian field again, but it is probable that
his accurate goal kicking will be keenly
missed this year, because of a bad toe,
which he had suffered from intermit-
| tently.
| The most serious problem which con-
fronts this years Indian coaches is that
of making good the weakness of the CEN
| ter of their line which was occasioned
by, the loss of last years center Hunt
ard Guards Dillon and LaNocque. II
Warner is successful in developing any
kind of center for his line this year. he
will deserve unalloyed praise, for the
reason that he has to educate entirely
new material.
The Indians football squad is now oc-
cupying the shell of an old hospital build
| ing lately discarded by the government
which has built an up-to-date hospital for
the Carlisle school. The new Indian
training quarters are comfortable enough
for football players, and the redskins
seem to enjoy being by themselves. DR.
Shoemaker, the Carlisle school physician
gives careful attention to their bill OF
fare, and sees that they have their indl.
vidual requirements looked az-er.
