C. < A. 8: Indians !.

10 taste lne DltltT uTeSS Oi ucAtdt, Hay ing eased through with a marginal
 victory at the Warren gridiron yes terday. when victory fitted like a startled bird here and there, unsettled till the end.
 The joy of the play was marred dur i ing the second half by the misfortune tO Bill MOnahan, tackle for the C. &- A., who suffered fractured leg just above the right ankle after terrific | plunge through the Indian line for a ten yard gain. Hughes substituted him and played like demon till the end.
 The Turkey Day game was the clas- ! sic of the season. not only in thrills, but in point of attendance, for there were hundreds on the side lines, al- most half of whom were soldiers come | from Naco to cheer for the Indian players.
 Time after time the opposing elev- ems pushed the ball down within strik | ing distance of the enemy's goal. only to lose on a fiuke. fumb:e or fail ure to make their yards in the four downs.
 The C. X A. bunch were the first to score, when Byron Thomas. their star half back. downed an Indian runner behind the latters own goal line for safety, counting two for the locals.
 Then it was that the Indians took a brace. and opened a sack full of whirlwind tricks, forward passes and spread eagle formations, and swept the ball clearly down the field. But again they lost. and the C. & A., strong on offense. see-sawed the pig skin, first to the right side and then to the left, past the middle of the field.
 Here, however, the Indians made ! history, for Robert Burke. their dough ty little quarter intercepted a C. & A. forward pass high in the air, and fled down the field fifty yards for their lone touchdown of the game. Appar- ently the period was up before the play had started, however, and the score was not immediately counted. | In fact. not until the first half was over. did the referee decide the play should be counted, and the Indians were then permitted to kick the goal. It gave them their final score of '.
 In the meantime the c. & A. re- gained the ball with the whole field before them. and John Gait. their full back, caught a forward pass with a clear field. and raced 70 yards to their lone touchdown. The c. & A. failed to kick the goal The score then be- came s to '. as it was throughout the , rest of the game.
 During the second half the ball see sawed across the field and once the Indians verged on a second touchdown only to be held by the locals few : feet before the posts, when they kicked out of danger.
 Of the bright particular stars, the c. & A. had the greater number in- cluding John Gait, with his record run and his line plunges, Ligon at end and his effective work on forward passes, and Byron Thomas, at half, who got ! into almost every play. and repeated ' ly tackled the Indian runners back of | their line. Wright. also a half, was ! strong on defense. at one time com ing out of the bottom of pile with 
 out his breath, practically prostrate.
 For the Indians, Shaw at right half blazed the way, staging several beau tiful runs. Burk. at quarter. also was nearly his equal in ground gaining, while Enos, their fullback, and Snead, ! their left half, tore great holes through the C. & A. lines for as much as 20 yards at time.
 ! The final whistle brought the big game to an end with the ball in the i C. & As possession in the middle of the field and the score to in favor of the locals.
