Important Game Now.
Carlisle May Be Contender for
Championship H0nOrs.

New York, Nov. 21.-Ooutside OF the
Harvard-Yale contest a. Camprluse
tomorrow the football games In the
east are generally devoid OF prospects
that they will prove eitter close con-
tests or have an important bearing on
championship honors. The Army anu
Navy cadets each have as their iast
game before the annual match at the
Polo grounds next Saturday what are
expected to prove easy victories. me
mtdshfpmen will entertain the NE"
York university eleven which has not
scored on an opposing team TINS year.
Although the New Workers left TO-DAY
for Annapolis with the determination
to record at least one. point to onset
their string of ciphers. 1t would De
surprise here If they succeed and an
altogether unexpected upset II the Navy
were defeated. The West Point cadets
are believed to have more cause LOT
worrying than the midshipmen but II
would be a great surprise If the strong
little team from the Springfield Y. M.
c. A. school caused any setback in the
Army's preparations for the battle with
the navy. The increasing strength OF
the Carlisle Indian team with opinion
in some quarters that it is Of cham
pionship calibre will make its game
with Syracuse tomorrow an interesting
affair If it should meet defeat. The
Indians are reported in perfect condl-
ton, however. and 1t would be only
Indifference or carelessness. 1t Is De-
lieved that could mar the two culminat-
ing games of the year. including con-
test with Brown on Thanksgiving day.
Browns university meets a strong rival
in Tufts college at Providence tomor-
row. a game which will be important
from Tufts standpoint if won by the
Massachusetts, collegians. as they have
lost only one game this year. Lafayette
and Lehigh have their annual game at
South Bethlehem: Bucknell and Muhl-
enberg at Lewisburg; Haverford and
Carnegie at Pittsburg; Wesleyan and
Trinity at Hartford and Stevens and
Rutgers at Hoboken.
Haskell Team in Wreck.
Lawrence. Kan, Nov. 21.-Coach
Bert Kennedy and his Haskell In
dams, all battered and bent, arrived
here yesterday afternoon from College
Station, Texas, where a victory over
Texas A and M. was scored last Tues
day.
On the return trip Eagle, the big
2OO-pound guard, was lost at Deni-
per, and has not been located yet.
Kennedy believes that he is walking
the ties home and will not arrive in
time for the game against Warrens-
burg in Kansas City Saturday. Besides
the loss of Eagle Kennedys team was
crippled in a wreck in the Kansas City
yards yesterday morning. Slower, the
big center, and c. Williams, end, were
both injured when the train collided
with freight engine. Slower had his
leg hurt and Williams suffered a
wrenched back. The Indians were
packing their suit cases when the two
engines struck and the impact knock
ed the men down and bruised them.
Kennedy says that a train wreck is
worse than any football game when it
comes to killing off football players
The we'll known Kansas mentor is
worried over the game Saturday
against Warrensburg He is afraid
that his team will not be in very good
shape. Big Powell came out Of the
Texas game without any bruises but
Rogue. the speedy halfback, was badly
bruised.
