Carlisle. Pa, Sept 6-The Carlisle In
dian School opened September !. and
during the past week Coach Warner has
been Quitting the football candidates
who are here and some very light pre-
llminary work has been done. The work
mas been unusually easy on account OF
the warm weather and the baked condi-
tlon OF the held, which is too naTd for
any rough work while the candidates
are just starting in. At the first call for
candidates thirty-fye responded and
among them are some promising looking
men, whose ability, however, it as yet
unknown.
Very few Of the old men have reported
for practice, but a large proportion ~
the old players are expected TO return.
Calac, and Guyon, last years tackels
have started practice and Busch and Hill
and Carlow, the three center men, are
expected within a few days. This
will insure good line for the Indians
even should none Of the other members
OF last seasons team report
1t Is known. however, that Vedernack
right end. will be here and while nothing
has been heard OF Large, the other end,
his place can easily be filed by such
candidates as Wallette, Pratt. and sew
eral other good candidates. So that as
far as the line Is concerned, the Indians
will have little to worry and with a good
line il is well-established fact that
most any backs can gain ground.
Stars Not to Return.
Thorpe and Powell. of last years back
field. are sure to be missing and It Is
probable that Bergie and Arcasa win also
not return, Ind while all these are ex-
cellent players and showed promise OF
making All-American material. their
substitutes of last season, consisting of
Goesback, Broker, and Bracklin, are
either here or are on their way, and eve.l
should no better candidates appear, IL is
felt that fairly good back field can be
developed.
1t is also a possibility that Coach War
ner may decide TO place Calac or Guyon
in the full back position. either one of
whom with a little experience will be
able to I'LL the position as well as it
was filed last year. In fact, it Is prob
be that one or both of these men will
be converted into backs. providing Ber-
gle and Arcasa do not return. because
Of the fact that Coach Warner has some
very good line material to fill their 10
sitions in the line.
Plenty of Candidates.
These men include Lookaround, We'll
mus, Hodge, Gilman. and several others,
so that while a whole new back field
may have to be constructed, Coach War
ner feels confident that he can fill in the
vacant places without any material de-
terioration from last years excellent
back field.
IE the above forecast OF the seasons
prospects only the members Of last
years squad have been mentioned. but
there are several candidates among the
new men who already show signs Of
football ability and, as has always been
the case in previous seasons, two or
three good men are sure to be found
Coach Warner had figured upon Large,
Bergie, and Arcasa returning, but he has
about given up hopes of seeing them
in the lineup this year and is making
every preparation to fill in the places
left vacant by them, and as he has al
ways done in the past, he no doubt will
be able to reconstruct a back field which
will prove effective as heretofore Lone
Star. who had charge OF the second team
last year, will again be Coach Warmers
assistant and as the second team has a
good schedule arranged and a good
coach they will undoubtedly be able TO
give the varsity good practice during
the
