Resides the score and more promi-
nent pae face athletes from Northern
and Southern colleges there will be a
bunch of 1.-THE limbed red men from the
Carlisle Indian School in the Federal
indoor games, on February 49,
Four of them will run on a one-mne
relay team, and three or four others will
be in the individual handicap events.
II Will be the first time any of the
Indians have been in the Federal games,
and one OF the rare occasions when any
of them compete indoors.
Most OF the track and field competition
at Carlisle for the last decade has been
on outdoor tracks. and It is only during
the last two years that the red skins
have taken to board floors and short
spikes.
The announcement OF the entry of the
Indians In the Federal games was re-
ceived yesterday in a letter from Glenn
S. Warner. famous for many years as
the football coach AMI general athletic
director at Carlisle In his letter he
said that the relay team will be picked
from the following men: Edgar Moore.
Joseph Twohearts, Moses Friday Simon
Blackstar. Louis DLpuis Phillip Morris,
and Richard Human. We have some
good distance men," Warner also writes,
particularly Tewanina, whom We will
send down if he is fit He will run to-
morrow night in a ten-mile race, and I
believe ne will be in good shape by
February 49,"
Tewanina was one Of the Marathon
runners on the American Olympic team,
at London. and a point winner In the
famous race from Windsor to the
Stadium. The Indians expect TO come
down early in the day on the 18th. pay
