The Carlisle Indians have scored more
points than any other eleven In the coun-
try. The nearest competitor to the In
dams IN the number of tallies registered
is twenty-five points behind them, the
third best is thirty-three points, while the
team standing fourth is trailing along
with ninety six points less.
Georgetown and Virginia are the two
teams which stand next to the Indians In
the arrangements Of the teams according
to their scoring ability. Virginia Is Sec
ond. with 2s2 points. while Georgetown is
third. with 234 Penn State Is fourth.
with 1877 points: Princeton is fifth. with
Yale is next, with 161, while Dartmouth
is eighth on the list. with 1877.
That the Indians lead the other
teams In scoring is a tribute to the
strong offense which has been built up
by Coach Warner. Carlisle has not only
scored against the smaller teams, but
it has consistently run up points
against the best elevens in the east. 1t
made 1S against Harvard. Is against
Pennsylvania and 10 against Lafayette,
% on Georgetown and II against the
University Of Pittsburgh. The Indians
probably have the best scoring ma
chine in the country. without an ex-

only points made against Georgetown
this year were run up by the Carlisle
eleven In the game in which 1t met
the Blue and Gray in the early part
of the season. Even though George
town has met the Army, which, in turn,
beat Yale, 1t has kept its goal line
inviolate.
Virginia, while it stands ahead Of
Georgetown in the number Of points
Tailed, does not have the scoring ma
chine as does the latter school,. ue~ause
eighty-one of the scores made by 1t
were registered against an eleven of
such weak caliber that 1T was not even
a good practice game. OF course. George
town met the same team later, but 1t
was on a muddy day. under conditions
that were adverse to running up a
big score.
There is little doubt that the Indians
have the best offensive team in the
against every other eleven that it has
met speaks for itself. but that many
of those points were made against some
of the best elevens. teams which are
now being ranked above it for some UNI
certain reason, certainly goes to indi-
cate that it is the most powerful Of
fensive machine that has been developed
this year. The Indians, besides having
a quartet Of good oackfield men, when

almost any COQQl 1OQS, nave III uOTpt Ouc
of the most accurate goal kickers in
the country. That he registered four
goals from field out Of four tries against
Harvard speaks for itself. as far as
his being dangerous factor TO an
opposing eleven once his team gets
within the 40-yard line.
Western High won its first game Of the
season yesterday. II beat Cathedral in
forty-four minutes Of play. > to O. There
seemed n he little difference between the
two teams Western, If anything proved
the stronger on the defense. but was ex-
tremely weak in handling punts. 1t was
by this method that the Cathedral lads
made UP lot of distance during the con-
test. as many Of the punts made by
Cathedral were fumbled by the Western
men and recovered.
At least two Of the Western men put up
the best exhibition of foot ball they have
shown this year. Howard gained a whole
