THORPE TRIES pENDLEToN.
For Total Number of Touchdowns Scor-
ed Thus Far.

The total grist of touchdowns for
Capt. Thorpe of the Indians rose 20
fourteen last Saturday, which makes
him and Pendleton Of Princeton the
leaders of the esason in that department.
Each has made fourteen. The Indians
always have been big scoring team,
but it is also Characteristic OF them that
they are scored on at a more extensive
rate than is generally the case with
team of so much strength otherwise.
| Ii would. appear that there is wider
gap between their strength in offence
and defence than Is true of most teams
of their calibre However, in their eN-
penditure of energy on attack they bring
in the points so plentifully that weak
ncsses OF defence aren't sufficient to
check their victorious marches.
better idea could be had OF just how
strong the red men are this year If they
played Harvard. Yale or Princeton. None
of these three is on the Carlisle sehed-
ule. Still the Indians have a game on
for next Saturday which is likely to test
their scoring ability better than any
preceding game. They are to play the
army, and owing to the effectiveness of
the army defence it is seldom that any
opponent thrives much in point making
even il it beats the West Pointers. The
army has as good pair of ends as any
team in the East and probably the best
lineman in the country-Devore--i
breaking through and spilling plays be-
hind the line, and if the Indians can rip
the army defence apart enough to keep
up their average of 81 points a game
they must have an exceptionally power
full attack. Indeed it takes a powerful
attack to score half that many points on
the army by rushing.

All last season Chick Gandill, the /
first baseman, was bothered
to gerat extent by trouble with his
tonsils On advice OF his physician he
submitted to an operation, removing the

/ long hunting trip.
One OF the most interesting football
yames in collegiate circles of the season
will. be witnessed when Williams and
Wesleyan battle at Williamstown next
After decisive victory over
Cornell last Saturday Williams is con-
ident that the Berkshire hill lads win
triumph. In Connecticut
here is general sentiment that Capt.
5acon will lead his team in the paths of
,lory.
Jimmy Archer is said to have returned
N unsigned contract offered to him for
Iext year. James probably thinks that
lie is worth more money under Eyers
han under Chance at any rate, Archer
emands an increase in salary. !.
