The first foot ball games Of the year
will be played Saturday. There are no
contests scheduled Of any general Inn
portance, but all will be watched with
much interest simply because they are
the first.
The most interesting will be the game
in which the Carlisle Indians meet Al
bright. It is not likely that Albright VIII
do better than hold the Redskins to
thirty points and possibly score, IL 1t does
that well. but everybody is naturally
watching to see just how strong warmers
eleven is going to be without Thorpe.
Also, 1t will be noticed rs to the LATITUDE
given the kicking game under the rule
which allows the punt from any point De-
hind the line Of scrimmase.
The other games to be played Saturday
are as follows: Gettysburg Vi. Blooms
burg Normal; Hampden-Sidney We. Rich
mond Blues; Maryville VI. Alumni; UNI
versity Of Maine vs.. Fort Wilhams' west
ern Maryland VS.. Visalia A. c.
Rob Murphy, who played shortstop Tor
and managed the Agricultural nine IN
the DEPARTMENTAL League during the
past season. has been signed oy the
white sox. Murphy worked out under
Callahan here during the recent stay OF
the Sox, and 1t IL said that the chicago
manager thinks very well of him; cana
han told Murphy that ne Wouio nave
liked to take him away for the remainder
of the season, but he could no. 40 so
pared. He gave Murphy contract.
which was signed. and Informed the local.
bow that he would take him on the tram
ing trip next spring. The former Fepco
and Agricultural star saad nnat ne n mas
with a major league club, and that ne
would work mighty hard next spring In
order to stay with the Sox.
About the same kind Of work will be
done at Georgetown all TINS week. .oach
Gargan will put the candidates tnrough

deavor to perfect their knowledge OF
the rudiments Of the sport, For when
there is a reason. Last fall Gargan. IN
indians. stated that he thought the whole
secret of the success OF that eleven was
in its perfection in the fundamentals.
Said Gargan: II think the whole. or
nearly perfects his team in the rudl-
nearly perfects his tea min the ruoi-
ments You notice that whenever there
is a tumble or a miscue OF any KIND IL
always seems that the Indians pront py

charge well In other words they 90
everything pertaining to the elements OF
foot ball as nearly perfect as can De.
Their system Of play is not better than
a great many others. and the only rea.
son for their continued success ts what
I have mentioned-perfection in the rudi-

can bet that is just the plan along wnion
I am going to proceed"
And there L. not much doubt that Gar
gan Is pretty nearly right.
The Bankers got away with the ALI
Stars Yesterday in the second or the series
of three contests by score OF s TO :.
The All-Stars went into the game as
though their lives depended upon the
result to Judge by the amount OF ginger
thew put into their play. Kelly, who
pitched for the Stars. did some pretty
fair work, although he was hit timely
upon one or two occasions The work OF
Murphy, the Bankers left-hander. was
exceptional. Despite the fact that he
depends on q spit ball as his main de-
livery, and 1t was raining, he got away
with his game nicely. He was not hit hard
at any time, there being only one line
drive off him during the six innings.
The Bankers will leave Saturday morn
ing for Richmond to play the double
header with the champions OF that city:
