THE personnel of the Indian eleven
this year is remarkable when its
accomplishments are considered.
With one exception the eleven men
have remained intact practiIA Ally 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 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,f L-,rllhanlr TaIor oil
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 capabllity
Below follows the points as scored
up to the Brown game by the Indian
players:

sixth of family of eleven children
consisting Of seven girls and four
boys, all of whom are alive and well

My father was one Of the pioneers
of Frisco. For twenty years before
the fire he conducted a hay and grain

objections is playing with the other
children about his place. or course,

My mother, who is since dead, had
her hands full looking after her

chores. Mother was always kind,
and petted me along, and | was the

By Hugh r. Miller.

|ARLISLE, PA, Nov. ga 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
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 Pittsburg' s
credit was not only an early season
game with a raw Indian team, unde-
yeloped and with the breaks Of the
game favoring the Pittsburgers, but
as in the case of the tied score
against Pennsylvania 1t was a con-
test in which the details of play
showed conclusively that Carlisle out
played their opponents.
A T the seasons opening the Indians
n 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, who
had earned the applause of the coun-
try at quarter; Bergie. seemingly
inyincible center; Steam Roller Pow
ell Tackle Hodge and the remarkable
cnds. Large and williams. together
with at least half dozen good
substitutes. on whom Warner had law
ished much instruction, were missing
from the Indian lineup, Raw mate
rial had to be taken. In one case as
with Larvie, who made sood at nrst'
an almost raw aborigine, was intro
duced into the Indian lineup without
his ever having seen football be
fore. Untried men Ike Pratt. Wal
lette and Calac were placed In impor-
rant positions, and Warner wrought
his handiwork with what he had.

Better Than Anything Else,

wv Miss Gladys Ravenscroft,

VIZ ILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 20.
wv Miss Gladys Ravenscroft,
of Bromborough, Cheshire,
England, champion woman golfer of
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 hotly. They
have no poise. They are un-Engiish
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 abi-
tty. That's why love 1t. 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 word lot
women. Any girl with good eye
and a steady hand can learn to play
a fair game.
Better than that. golf takes
women out into the open, where they
can't help getting plenty of fresh ar
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 all
means let them walk as our English
girls do.
Anybody can walk-anywhere.
Maybe that's why English girls are
supposed to be synonymous with
health.
Now, remember. I'm no feminist
/ know the limitations of our sex.
And I know that a mans game beats
a woman's by nine points. I suppose
that's Just the extent to which your
male champion Is better than I am.
l wouldn't dare to challenge him
Really, golf isn't my primary IN
terest, anyhow. DIDN'T come 10
America grimly determined to win
this championship. l came to have
good time I've had 1t.
IT'S the play l like rather than
the glory. I've been playing for six
years I'm 25 now My father was
a hockey player. l have one younger
sister now playing golf
MY two brothers play. Yes I'm
ashamed to confess that l can bea:
