INDIANS COMING IN FORCE.
Eighteen Carlisle Braves to Compete
in GEORGETOWN Games.

One of the biggest attractions of the
Blue and Gray meet, which is to come
off in Convention Hall next Saturday
night will be the Carlisle Indian con-
tingent. consisting of eighteen redskins
who have made themselves famous by
their athletic proves. The entrance of
such large number from the aborigine
ranks puts a new phase on the dopester's
sheets that have mapped out the point
trophy battle. With a bunch like Glenn
Warmers striving for the big prize it
looks bad for Yale, Pennsylvania Prince
ton and Virginia, the four big schools
previously picked as most likely winners.
1t will be spectacle well worth going
miles to see, these unprecedented Amer1-
cans jogging out on the floor. amid their
pale-face rivals, all uniformed in typical
savage brilliancy and covering their
swarthy limbs with red and yellow blank
cts. All that will be necessary to remind
one of an ancient war dance will be the
fire and the paint But without the latter
the picture cannot help but make a hit
and the Carlisle aggregation will prob
ably find themselves very much In the
limelight from the time they enter on the
scene until they fight their last battle
with the whites and retire to their apart
ments at the end of the big games
The five-mile special, originally arranged
for Yewanina, Lee and DriscOll. and later
for Gallagher. now has three more names
on the list. They are three of Yewanina' S
understudies. John Corn, Walter Hunt
and Mitchell Arduette. The addition of
this trio puts seven in the event, which
as 1t now stands is the biggest long
distance affair ever put on a Washing
ton program.
The other entrants from Carlisle are
Moses Friday, Louis Depuis, Philip Nor
ris, Peter Thomas. Louis Webster, Charles
Mitchell and Fred Schanandore, all in the
sprints; William Weeks. Richard Human,
Peter Thompson. John Corn, Walter Hunt
and Edgar Moore in the runs; and Mitch
ell Arquette in the 1.JOO-meter race. James
Thorp, captain of last falls foot ball
eleven, will take a try at the shotput.
high jump and pole vault.
The relay team which will compete In
one-mile event against Western Mary
land and Fordham will be chosen from
the above mentioned with the addition of
Joseph Two Hearts and Simon Black Star.
This team battle will be one of the best
of the evening, as 1t will be a short dis
lance race between two schools noted
for long distance runners. Whether the
length of the course will make any differ
ence with the chances of the contestants
remains to be seen.
Another race that is going to be a
corker Is the JO-meter collegiate, in which
the topnotchers of the eastern varsties
are entered Geary. the Fordhamite:

from New Haven; Cook of Cornell, who
once defeated Gamble of Princeton. who
will also take part, and Stanton and Ash
by of Virginia are classy crowd of
sprinters. When they meet there is sure
ly going to be something doing in the
line Of hot sport.
Virginia's four. which is to go against
Georgetown, will be the same as 1t has
been all year. Capt. Thurlow, Stanton.
Goodwin and Wiltshire compose it, and
judging from their past record are about
as speedy a bunch as can be found.
