BY WILLIAM PEET.


ington's football team was easily beaten
by Ursinus Saturday. and the blame
should be placed on the person, or per
sons. responsible for the present coaching
system.
The Ursinus players after the game
said; I'VE expected a hard game against
George Washington and had been led 10
believe that they were big and husky and
knew a lot OF football They are big
enough. but show clearly that they have
not received the proper coaching"
The Hatchetites made their mistake
when they let this man Fred Nelson slip
through their hands. With the material
this season, Nelson could have rounded
( up a team that would have beaten Ur-
sinus. His coaching last year speaks for
Itself
Next Saturday the Hatchetites will play
the Carlisle Indians, and a lot OF work
will have to be done to prepare the team
for this battle. The game will be inter
esting to witness, and should draw a big
crowd.
Celebrated for their speed. their rare
combination Of daring and accuracy in
concentrating plays. their lightning at
tack and mpregnable defense. Carlisle
has within recent years made a great ma
tional name for itself
Not only do the Indians play and defeat
the best college teams OF which their
own section can boast but they travel
more than any other team in the country.

10 year considering the fact that prhc-
tically all their games are played away
from home, is truly wonderful.
This year It is admitted that the Indians
are trihe weaker than for the past two
seasons. but, as a matter Of fact. this
adds considerable interest 20 Saturday S
