sumo for the season of 1918 of
the work of the Carlisle Indian
football team, put into 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
said authoritatively that the Indians
concede the championship to Har-
ward. but think that Carlisle is
unquestionably entitled to second
place by reason of their decisive de-
feat of the great Dartmouth eleven,
who had beaten Princeton and Penn
sylvania. There is but one thing to
explain so far as Carlisle's season
record is concerned. The defeat by
Pittsburg. while greatly to Pittsburgs
credit, was not only an early season
game with a raw Indian team, unde-
Veloped and with the breaks OF the
game favoring the Pittsburgers. but

against Pennsylvania it was con-

At the seasons opening the Indians

schedule from the standpoint Of the

Giants. Such stars as ArCasa, who

Happy Boyhood Days Fondy Recalled by Proud Lille Champ
WILLIE RITCHIE WRITES FOR THE GEORGIAN
Bv Willie Richie,

T AM proud to state that am ma
tive of San Francisco, a city
that produced so many great
men in all walks Of life. | 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 hay and grain
business, and one of my earliest rec
objections is playing with the other
children about his place or course,
| did not think anything about fight
ing those days. | was a meek sort
OF kid and l never looked for trou-
bic with any of my playmates.
My 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 |
started to school
| was years old when | entered
school. | got along fairly well,
though. like the rest of the scholars,
| would rather play and fool around
than attend TO my studies. But |
finally graduated at the age of IL,
much to my own relief
Both father and mother were very
anxious for me to attend Sacred
stubborn and headstrong | 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 a job. and I landed it, too. and
held it for two years.
Burned Out in Big Fire.
My first place Of employment was
with NJ Marwedel & 60, wholesale
engineering supply people went
in as an Office and an errand boy.
and | was getting along very nicely
and learning the business when the
fire came along. We lost everything.
We had to fee for our lives, and. of
course, my job was gone for the
time being But I got II back again.
The neighborhood where was
born and raised was fairly alive with
fighters. SuCh wonders as Abe At

came famous lived in the vicinity.

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
this season. Fullback Calac, also new,
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

When she was here recently she

The militants ought to play golf and
work off their nervous energy that

Golf doesn't demand athletic abii-

I'm strong. but the game doesn't re

And that's precisely why golf is
the very best sport in the world lof

a fair game.
Better than that. golf takes
women out into the open, where they

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 all

girls do.
Anybody can walk-anywhere
Maybe that's why English girls are

Now, remember, I'm no feminist

Bill Sweeney in
Line to Lead Reds

BOSTON, Nov. 29.-The name OF Cap
tain Bill Sweeney, of the Boston Ma
tionals, was brought into the field OF
possible candidates for the position of
manager Of the Cincinnati baseball
team last night In a letter sent to
Sweeney from New York by President
James J. Gaffney, of the local club.
Saying that he took into considera-
ton the fact that in other years the
Cincinnati club had tried to procure
Sweeney as manager, Gaffney notified
the Boston captain that he had permits
sion to negotiate for the position II he
desired. Were you to succeed II would
bring mingled sense Of reluctance and
pleasure 10 me" President Gaffney
wrote.
Sweeney said to-day he would con
slider the matter.

Playing Managers Coming Back
Four in Southern Next Season
By Bud Fisher

IL ERES the way tn managerial
layout will look next season,
with respect to whether the respec-
tive bosses will play:
Atlanta-Bill Smith =. =. :. E. NO
Mobile-Briscoe Lord =. =. e. Yes
Brminghsm-"Gladys' Moles-
Chattanooga Harry McCor-
Montgomery Bobby Gilks =, ;. No
William Schwartz e.. Yes
Memphis-Mike Finn =. e. e.. e. No
New Orleans-Kid Elberfeld .. Yes
THE other new face. which really is
a familiar one is that of Bobby
Gilks, who has been scouting with
much success for Cleveland the last
few years. Bobby will manage Mont
gomery from the bench. though lie
will doubtless wear a uniform, a la
Bill Smith. rather than white flannel
suit, like Sir Miguel Finn.
A ND as to the respective sdvan-
- tages of bench and field manag-
ing-well, Frank Chance played first
base when he was the Peerless Lead
err and G. McGillicLddy wears civil
ian's clothes and sticks 10 the bench.
It's pretty good toss up.
But the percentage of playing man
ayers in the Southern League next
year viii jump suddenly from ESQ to
800, and the fans will watch the re-
suits with interest.
