OLD CARLISLE STAR TALKS OF ATHLETICS . AND OTHER THINGS
PLAYED WITH MOUNT PLEAS ANT AT CARLISLE AND START ED JAMES THORPE ON ATH- LETIC CAREER - DISCUSSES SOUTHERN ATHLETICS
n. CHARLES W. GREER

Wahoo Guyon, better known through out the south simply as Wahoo, the la nous ex-Carlisle football and all-round athlete, was in Birmingham Friday and Saturday where he was an interested at tendant upon the Southern league meet ings
 Mahoo is an Indian ill appearance ana blood only. He is well educated, has ample and varied English vocabulary, and is a typical example of the cultivated Indian of today. He is a Carlisle star of the old school, having played upon tlie Indian teams in the days of Mt. Pleasant, the Great Indian quarterback, and Pete Hauzer, probably the greatest of all Car lisle players, with the possible exception of James Thorpe.
 Although now retired from active ath- leties, the former star takes considerable interest in it still, and is familiar with athletic conditions throughout the coun- try.
 Interested in Carlisle
 Especially is he interested in the work of the Carlisle athletic teams. And at present he has an added interest in the athletic record of his almer mater, due to the fact that he now has a brother playing tackle upon the Indian squad.
 This is his first year at college" re- marked Wahoo proudly, and he has made every athletic team that he has tried for so far. During the past season. he was selected for a position on several all-American teams. Macbeth of New York gave him position"
 I,sr hrnf l,nfs ha d had in athletics, Wahoo answered that he had practically none.
 Why, he never played football in his life until he went to Carlisle he said. Al he knows he learned there, and lie had to get 1t while trying for the varsity squad.'
 T think the athletic success of Car lisle is exemplified right there," he added. Flew of the boys have had any consid- erable athletic experience when they en- ter Carlisle. Few of them have attended preparatory schools, and they have no freshman class teams to prepare them for varsity athletics. Most of Carlisle's stars learn the A B C's of the game and as- simulate it's fine points while making position on the varsity squad. Here the Indians natural stamina and tireless en- ergy stands him in good stead. He has surplus energy 10 be devoted to master ing and playing the game, such as only few whites enjoy. He is imbued with a natural love for outdoor sports that comes from long line of tireless ancestors. So he can enter athletics naturally well quali- fled to put into it an ineXhaustible amount of energy and determination and hence he generally succeeds.
 Few to Draw From
 ''Why. we haven't but about i5o men from whom to pick our teams" he con- tinued. At Carlisle, the only requisite for entrance is the necessary amount of Indian blood and a rigid physical exami- nation. There the students, boys and girls, range from the primary to the col lege graduates. And so while we have student body of some HOO, our number of students eligible for varsity football is very, very limited.
 "We generally manage to turn out some pretty fair athletes thought" he con tinued smilingly. "There's Thorpe for in- stance. Without doubt he ranks well with the very best that the game has ever produced. Thorpe, Heston, Ted Coy
