UNIQUE FOOTBALL Game
FOR CHARITY IS PLANNED
Carlisle Indians Will Play a Team
Composed of Former Stars at Fen
way Park, Boston, on November
%

Boston, Nov. 19.-An interesting
wind-up to the football season in bos'
ton will be the game to be played at
Fenway Park, on Saturday afternoon,
November 2S, when the Carlisle In
dian football eleven will be opposed
by an all-star team composed of form
er players from the leading Eastern
universities. The game will be for char
ity, the proceeds going to the Chill
dren s Island Sanitarium, with a small
er percentage to the American he'd
Cross.
This contest was arranged last
spring, when contracts were signed oy
Glenn Warner, the Carlisle football di'
rector and President Lannin, of the
Boston American League Club. War at
that time had been thought of and
when the proposition was made that
the Red Cross share equally it was
found impossible on account OF the
contracts already signed. The latter,
however, will receive a percentage.
AS football game the coming con
test should prove of more than ordi-
nary interest. The Indians are always
popular in New England and formerly
attracted thousands when they played
against Harvard. The last Saturday in
the month they will face many Har-
ward players whom they have met on
the gridiron in the past.
For the All4Stars, Hamilton Fish
will act as captain and the former Har-
ward leader will get into the game at
his old position of tackle. The players
from the New York district will be
coached by Fish, and the finishing
touches will be put on at his country
home at Garrison, on the Hudson. The
players about Boston will be coached
in the same formations and with the
same signals by Harry. Gardner, the
Harvard quarterback Of last year
team. A week before the game the full
squad will get together and the best
men will be selected to start the game
against the Indians. The players will
be taken in hand by Percy Haughton
after the Harvard-Yale game for their
final polishing.
Some OF the most noted football
players of the East will get into the
game, and the oldtmers are very
anxious to resume gridiron activity. So
many have volunteered that it is likely
that practically new eleven will play
in each period for the All-Stars. In
addition to Fish am. Gardner, Ted Coy.
the great Yale captain of 1910, will
be in the lineup, with "Hobey" Bak-
er, of Princeton, and "TolD Pendls-
ton, captain of the Tigers in 1912,
and Philbin, of Yale. Dartmouth will
be represented among others by Sher-
win, and Williams by Wadsworth. the
former quarterback. Other New Eng
land colleges also are expected to be
represented in the final makeup Of the
eleven. Harvard, naturally, will have
the larger representation, and in addi-
tion to those named there will be Pat
Grant, one of the first of the rowing
centers; Minot, the great pungng
back; Percy and Jack Wendell; Vic
Kennard, whose. drop kick defeated
Yale at New Haven in 1908; Crawford
Blagden, the Crimson tackle Of more
than decade ago; Huntington, Hitch
cock, Wigglesworth, Parkinson, Dick
Lawrence and the Wilmington broth,
ers, Paul and Lothrop, both captains
in their senior years at Harvard.

be able to give the Indians a great bat

feature of the contest, as this is the
style at which the Redskins are at
their best.
