Saws Vanderbilt Has
Shown Vindictive Spirit

CARLISLE, Dec. 24-Coach Glenn
Warner, Of the Carlisle Indian School.
returned yesterday from an extended
hunting trip in the South. where he
has been out of communication with the
outside world, and when shown clip
pings from the newspapers regarding
Haryard's reported attitude toward fu-
ture football games with the Indians,
he said that he had received no intma-
ton from the football authorities at
Harvard that Carlisle would not be
given a date next fall.
He said that II Harvard decided not
to include the Indians in their football
schedule the real reason for such q
move would probably be Harvard's de.
sire to tighten her schedule and not be.
cause of a controversy between Wander
bilt and Carlisle, to which Harvard WA
not a party. He further said that the
facts in Carlisle's regrettable mix-uE
over a date with Vanderbilt last fai
were such as would convince the pub
lie that Carlisle's treatment of Wander.
| bilt had been fair and above criticism
Briefly, the facts were that Coach War
ner had made tentative arrangement
with Coach McGugin to play Vanderbilt
| upon November II.
That such arrangement was consider
| ed q tentative one by Vanderbilt wal
proven by Vanderbilt's request that for
NAL contracts be submitted to her. Be
| fore any formal contract was entered
into the opportunity to play Harvard
arose, and Carlisle accepted It, no
been offered the date by Harvard.

| Coaches McGugin and Warner for

offered other dates to the Southern
champions,
dates submitted, but 1t Is said endeavor
ed by threats Of enlisting Harvard

the date originally under consideration
| These alleged threats and the vindictiv
| spirit shown by Vanderbilt In the CORES
] pondence which followed absolutely pre-
l vented any further attempts upon tn
part Of Carlisle to arrange the matte
amicably.

W|THB|GG|ER TEAMS
Demand. Increases for An.
nual Battle With Van
derbilt Eleven.

@ CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Dec. "a
Following the example of Georgetown,
Virginia is branching out and is seeking
football games next year with bigger
teams than ever before. The demand
for a contest with Vanderbilt is becom-
ing greater and greater, and 1t Is be-
lieved that no difficulty will be expert
enced in arranging a series of games
with the Nashville eleven.
In the last few years Virginia has be-
gun to draw recruits from some OF the
best preparatory schools In the East.
Lawrenceville. Tome. Episcopal High.
Hampden- Sidney and Woodbury. Forest
have become accustomed to point their
best players for Virginia. and this has
led the authorities here to consider
STRENGTHENING the schedule gradually
until the orange and Blue elevens meet
the best teams in the South Atlantic
section.
Although nothing has been done con-
corning the annual game with George
town, everybody here thinks that the
contest will be played as usual In Wash
ington next November.

those OF the amateur commission.
The fact that the Terminal League

II later rules are adopted by the

the railroad league can flourish under

When the commission holds it's first
meeting Of the season 1912, on jan

importance to the amateur game I'm
