WILLIE RITCHIE WRITES FOR THE GEORGIAN
By Willie Richie.

T AM proud to state that I am ma
tive of San Francisco, a city
that produced so many great
men in all walks of life. I was born
on February 10, 1891, and I am the
sixth of family of eleven children,
consisting Of seven girls and four
boys, all of whom are alive and well
to-day.
My father was one OF the pioneers
of Frisco. For twenty years before
the fire he conducted a hay and grain
business, and one of my earliest rec
objections is playing with the other
children about his place. or course.
L did not think anything about fight
ing those days / was a meek sort
of kid and / never looked for trou-
bic with any Of my playmates.
Ny mother who is since dead, had
her hands full looking after her
large family, and she kept me busy
about the house helping her out by
running errands and doing various
chores. Mother was always kind,
and petted me along, and | was the
handy boy around the house until I
started to school.

school. | got along fairly we'll,
though, like the rest of the scholars,
| would rather play and fool around
than attend to my studies. But I
finally graduated at the age of 10,
much to my own relief
Both father and mother were very
anxious for me to attend Sacred
Heart College in Frisco, but ! was
stubborn and headstrong. I wanted
to make my own way in the world,
although my folks always provided
for me in every way. But ! got that
notion in my head, and they could
not stop me ! started out to look
for job and / landed IT, too, and
held it for two years.

My first place Of employment was
with NJ Marwedel & Co, wholesale

in as an office and an errand boy,
and | was getting along very nicely

~ARLISLE, PA, Nov. pa re-
sumo for the season Of 1918 Of
the work Of the Carlisle Indian
football team put into a few words
might say that Glenn S. Warner,
recognized as the Connie Mack Of
football, took an aggregation of semi
trained Indian youths who had indi-
vidually hitherto had comparatively
little responsibility in playing the
great college game, and in LESS than
twelve weeks had built them into one
of the most remarkable football ma
chimes America has ever seen.
That there may be no doubt as to
Carlisle's position on the American
championship question, it may be
said authoritatively that the Indians
concede the championship. to Har-
ward. but think that Carlisle is
unouestionably entitled to second
place by reason of their decisive de-
feat of the great Dartmouth eleven,
who had beaten Princeton and Penn
sylvanla. There Is but one thing to
explain so far as Carlisle's season
record is concerned. The defeat by
PIttsburg, while greatly to Pittsburg's
credit, was not only an early season
game with a raw Indian team, unde-
veloped and with the breaks Of the
game fayoring the Pittsburgers, but
as in the case of the tied score
against PENNSYLVANIA it was con-
fest in which the details of play
showed conclusively that Carlisle out
played their opponents.
At the seasons opening the Indians
y faced by far the most pretentious
schedule from the standpoint OF the
number of games and prowess Of OPP
ponents looked forward to by any
eleven. To start with, the great
Thorpe was lost to the New YORK
Giants. Such stars as ArcaSa, VINO
had earned the applause of the coun-
trv at quarter; Bergie, a seemingly
inyincible center; Steam Roller Pow
ell Tackle Hodge and the remarkable

With at least half dozen good
substitutes. on whom Warner had Law
iehed much instruction, were missing

THE personnel Of the Indian eleven
this year is remarkable when its
accomplishments are considered.
With one exception the eleven men
have remained intact practically from
the beginning of the season, which is
unusual on any football team that has
a hard schedule The men generally
have been light in weight very strong
physically, with mentalities capable
of wonderful development and youth
full to a noticeable degree. Practical
ly no injuries worthy Of mention have
married the Redskins season. Wal
lette, at left end and Pratt, at the
right extremity, have been fast and
have shown remarkable ability at
getting down the field.
The tackles, Welmas and Looks
around, are men Of superior attain
ments Left Guard Hill is as strong
as an OK, and Right Guard Busch, in
addition to being extraordinary
strong on both offensive and defensive
work, has been able to handle any
opponents he has met. Center Gar
low was picked in midseason by
Glen Warner as the greatest center
the Indian school has ever had. Quar-
terback and Captain WEIGH has
shown himself to be a remarkable
field general, and carried the ball with
great success after the early season.
In Left Halfback Guyon the Indians
have a player who is almost equal
to the illustrious Thorpe. Right Half
back Bracklin, an indigerent sub of
last year, showed remarkable ability
.t-E fat ole
has made one Of the Country's best
backfielders. In fact. the Indian back
field quartet has probably never been
surpassed anywhere for adept team
work and individual capability.
Below follows the points as scored
up TO the Brown game by the Indian
players:

the world has her own ideas about
things.
When she was here recently she
was told what a militant suffragette
she would make.
I'VE no sympathy with these mill
tants," she replied holly. They
have no poise They are un-English,
The militants ought to play golf and
work off their nervous energy that
way. People who play golf are less
liable to outbreaks"
But you-an athlete
Golf doesn't demand athletic abl-
ity. That's why love It, OF course
I'm strong, but the game doesn't re-
ouire strength. It's the knack and
skill that win.
And that's precisely why golf is
the very best sport in the world Tor
women. Any girl with a good eye
and a steady hand can learn to play

Better than that. golf takes
women out into the open, where they
can't help getting plenty of fresh AIR
and sunshine. And they can't help
walking.
The walking Is the chief thing
about golf. anyhow I'm told that
YOUR American girls are taking more
exercise than they used to. If they
haven't access to golf links, by an
means let them walk as our Engnsh
girls do.
anybody can walk-anywhere.
Maybe that's why English girls are
supposed to be synonymous with
health
