The new eligibility rules which the
authorities Of the Carlisle Indian school
saw fit to inaugurate during the past
year. together with the natural loss
through graduation, leave four or five
vacant places to be filed upon the foot
ball team this season. The men whose
services will be lost to the team are
such excellent players as William Gard.
ner, left end; Exendine, right end; Lu
DO, right tackle: Mount Pleasant. quar-
terback. and probably Hendricks right
halfback. These players were all ex-
perisnced men, and it will be no easy
mattsf to Ill their places.
Hendricks IL still at the school. but
be has been in no condition to play.
Exendine 10 still a student, but as he
has already played four years he is in
eligible and II now assisting In coach
ing.
A. the ends played a very important
part In Carlisle's offense last season the
loss Of two such stars as Gardner and
Exsndine is an especially severe one.
and the development Of players to fill
their places is giving the coaches more
concGn than any other problem which
they have to work out. George Gard
ner. who was substitute last year, is
strong candidate for his brothers place
He 70 3usk as big and as fast as the
latter. but lacks experience and is not
quite 50 heady.
The other end is being filled by Lit
de Oldham, who has been playing
scrub tackle for the past year or two
He has always been a hardworking
player. with plenty Of spirit and de-
termination, but his light weight has
kent him OF the first team as a tackle.
The tackles should be well taken
care Of b. Captain Waseuka and Lit
tie Boy. The former Il a heady and
aggressive player. who should be able
to hold his own with any opponent he
win meet this year, and he is proving
to be an excellent leader.
Afraid-of-a-Bear will hold down the
position Of left guard. providing his
ankles recover from the severe sprains
they have received and which have
thus far kept him from doing much
rough work. It will be good fight
for the ether guard position between
Aiken and Lyon. Lyon il playing a
very hard game thus far this year, and
It 10 q toss-up now as to which is the
better man.
Center has been ably filed by Bar
rel. q new recruit from the west who
has had some experience, and he is
being pushed hard by Jordan, last
years scrub center. Back Of the line
the loss Of Mount Pleasant makes a
big hole. and Il Hendricks is unable to
play his place also viii have to be
filed with q substitute Of last year.
Balenti. Last years subquarter, is thus
far showing up well - q successor to
Mount Pleasant, and his puntins and
punt handling ability as well a. his
forward passing make him q strong
candidate. Kelley. . new man, who
has had some experience in the west,
II also mailing lively bid for the posi-
ton. NJ
One of the greatest causes for worry
On the part OF the coaches has been the
crippled condition OF Hauser, the full
back. Last winter hs slipped upon the
icy sidewalks and 50 severely injured
his hack hat hs was In the hospital
for months. It may be necessary to
use Winnie ~ fulfback. as Cries For
RibG has % little experience. although
hs wHl-sens day make good fullback.
