HARE WANTS PENN
 10 KEEP INDIAN TEAM

T. Truxton Hare, chairman of the foot ball committee, and other men closely identified With the gridiron game at the University of PennsyIva- nia deplore a movement on the part of certain alumni to nave Pennsylvania sever foot ball relations with the Car lisIe Indian School and drop the red skin team from next seasons schedule
 MT Hare said today he believed it would be most unfortunate if the cor dial rela tions between Penna. and the Indians were interrupted in amy way
 The movement against the Penna-- Indian contest, is reflected in the fol- lowing article in the Alumni Regis ter,'' just isued.
 'HThe coach of the>- Indian team
 directed the play or his men from :
 the side lines. Wearing white shoes
 he stood unon one foot and then
 the other, moving his free extrem-
 ity up and down the number of
 times necessary to indicate the
 play he wanted. The other large
 universities do not play the h.
 dians. It is remunerative game, but not sport. We should like to see a college substituted and we
 think Pennsylvania men would en-
 joy more a game with their fell

 MT. Hare had not seen the article nor had he heard of it until it was read to him.
 "It would be unfortunate, to my mind, if Penna. and the Indians ceased to play" he said '~The team likes to play against the Indians, the under graduate body is decidedly for the game and there is every reason to be- 1ieve the public likes it. too.
 ''The Indians always play clean. if hard game, against Pennsylvania. The relations between the two institutions oJ,. he fri be- Iieve nearly everybody would be sorry if there was no game between the two in the future.'
 The attention of MT. Hares who was one of the greatest players Pennsyl- vania ever produced and who played several hard games himself against Carlisle in the past, was called to the charge that Glen Warner. the Indian coach, had eignalled his men from the side lines.
 1T saw the game he said, and atched the side lines closely. War ner did nothing to indicate to me that he was coaching his team in any flle- him do any thins out of the way, nor do believe that he, did anything he should not have done
 Following the Indian game this sea son there were charges made that Warner had worn white shoes and
  team Warner issued s1 formal state ment denying this Be explained that his 3hoes had becorJe soaked on the wet, muddy field and thot he horro'Ted pair Of overshces. The over'-hoez provine too large he declared h. stuffed from with revr~naperS. 1his. he explair5. save "tse to the report that he had worn white slloes.
