Brings First Count.

Displaying an aerial attack well
developed for an early season game,
the local Indian school trounced
the high school eleven by the mar
gin of two touchdowns yesterday
afternoon at Washington park. The
Indians outfought the nigh school
gridders all the way through and
were only prevented by breaks
from piling up more than their
fourteen points while withdrawing
their pale face opponents.
Poor generalship on the part Of
Glassman, high school quarter,
paved the way for the first Indian
school touchdown, while straight
football made possible the second.
The Indian line played high ana
followed the runner. Instead OF
capitalizing on this and plunginG
the line from straight and fake for
nations, Glassman allowed his
team to keep trying the Indian
style of attack through the air, in
which department of play his men
were decidedly inferior.
When the game opened, the In
dams rushed the ball within strlk-
ing distance of the high school
goal. A kick failed and when the
ball reached the same goal few
minutes later, the green and white
held the Redskins for downs.
After hte punt, the Indians carried
the ball right back to the line and
it looked for a moment as If their
attack would not be denied. A
lucky tumble over the line saved
them and q touchback resulted.
The high school, getting the ball
in advantageous territory, made
eight and a half yards on the first
pass. With five feet to go in three
downs, Glassman failed to crack
the line, calling instead a forward
pass 1t failed and he then called
for a punt on the third down.
The quarter ended with the In
dams holding the ball in the center
of the field. They opened the sec
ond segment with a beautiful pass.
Carrying the oval into the green
and white territory, they tried
drop kick, which went wild. A Few
moments later, the Indians again
secured the ball and carried 1t
within striking distance. A long
pass succeeded in showing the ball
over for touchdown, but the play
was called back because the In
dams had failed to have seven
men on the line,
In the next few minutes, Glass
man had added chances TO snow
poor generalship. Again with
yard and half to so and three
downs to make it, he tried a for
ward pass and then punted on th9
third down over the line. Later,
with three yards to make on three
downs, he tried fake, forward
pass and a drop kick, When
straight bucks would have doubt
less turned the trick. On his next
opportunity, the first down netted
four yards on a line buck. the
following three plays were an I'M
complete forward pass, a fake that
fizzled and drop kick, He seemed
unwilling to send his backs into the
only vulnerable spot, the Indians
line.
The last drop kick was blocked
and Catron, playing right guard FOR
the Indians. carried it eighty yards
to the goal line for the first touch
down. Goal was kicked. Score:
Indians. q high school. 0.
In the second half captain Will
son of the high school squad ap-
reared at his wing position. the
indians carried the ball across the
field and then punted over the line
twice. The quarter ended with the
ball on the green and whites four
yard line with the Indians having
four downs to push it over.
In the first play of the last
period, line plunge netted two
Yards and Ehee then went cracking
through for touchdown. dropping
a eaean yard across the chalk line.
Goal made the count: Indians, IA;
High school. 0,
Taking another kickoff, the IN
dams made thirty yards in three
plays. An attempt to drop-kick
failed. The High school braced
toward the close of the game. Poor
passing by the High school center
on punt formations spoiled num-
