TR|NITOA|ANS IN GOCO SHAPE
University Players Make Excellent
Showing in Game with Carlisle.

! IN an interesting practice game
of football-interesJng chiefly be-
cause it was the first real test of
the individual playing ability of
| Trinity's men this year-on Trini-
; tvs field Saturday. Carlisle was de-
! feated to the tune of II TO O. Nearly
every man on Capt. Prude's squad
was in the game at some time or
| other, Starting with practically
second team line up at the beginning
of the first half, Trinity's full
! strength of old timers was never in
action at the same time during the
whole game. Starting with Prude,
| Hood. Karner and Gibbons as the
| old heads in at the first, gradually
every man was shifted or removed
! nutil by the time the second half
closed, twenty men had had hand
! for Trinity.
Quarterbacks karner and Erwin
! put the T. IT, boys through every
| play in their repertoire during the
game, and everything was pulled off
in the smoothest kind of smooth
style with the exception of the for
ward pass a time or two. Trinity
bucked with her old time success at
straight football although the
scrubs playing in the line could not
of course open up the holes through
which T. US startling gains have
been made in the past seasons Trim
| ity had her end runs in better oper-
alton than has been the case for some
! time. Under Coach Werner more
fakes have been adopted, and this
change in Trinity's program has
worked great Improvement On
side kicks, punts, and forward pass
es all worked smoothly, although
the last was not executed as it should
have been every time. Trinity's re-
lance in the past has been chiefly
on straight football, and there her
success has been, but the develop
ment of every other kind of play
has given her this season a much
larger list of well-mastered forms of
attack without weakening one whit
the headon tactics of heretofore.
The game progressed about as fol-
lows; Carlisle kicked off, Trinity
bucked twice for good gains, and
Karner went twenty-five yards
around left end on fake buck. Two
bucks and short end run failed TO get
t, L. the required ten yards. and 1t
was Cariisle's ball. Carlisle was
thrown for loss on both buck and
end run, and punted twenty. Trinity
bucked twice, and Witherspoon
made eight on end run. Karner ran
right end for six. r. a. bucked twice
and made short forward pass for
nine. Two bucks and touchdown by
Word. Lowrey catches fair on TWEEN
ty yard line, but goal fails. Carlisle

to forty yards line Two bucks and
end run by Prude for seven. and
time is called First half, score to
@ for Trinity.
Second Half: Trinity kicks off,
Carlisle returns kickoff by punt and
RECEIVERS. Tries end run and loses
