Bx JVSEEM Rs kAEANSA Limited Press StafR CoFrespondentl Lawrence, Kass--(UP)-More or less conclusive proof that the In- dian really Is vanishing came to hand this fell when the football team of the Kansas School for the Deaf walloped the Haskell Indians 20 to 0,
 These Indlans were representing the same Haskell Institute tha produced such gridiron greats Rs Tiny Roehuck, MayeS McLain and the Levi brothers, John and George, Tom Stidhaia, the Marquette coach, ls another Of the famed Redskins, who In 1928, probably their greatest year, scored bbB points to their oe' ponents' '03. They won i2 games and were tied once, Q 2i to 2i game with Boston College.
 The fact that Haskell, once 0 col- crful squad that travelled from coast to coast each fall, hAd dropped out of college football seems to have passed unnoticed. They played their last college season In 1889, The material had been poor for seV- erai seasons and the institute, never more than c junior college, decided to step down to high school com. petition,
 Haskell produced football greats for nearly 40 years. One of the first was Joe duyon, who quit in 1902 to play professional basketball and remained Q top athlete for 10 more years. Pete Hauser and his brother, Emile, graduated to Car. llsle and both received national recognition. Jim Thorpe also at. tended Haskell, but not as a foot ball player,
 The Great Levi
 Tn later years John Levi came along, one of the great backs Of many years. Re could pass the ball the length of the field and was a fine runner. His brother, George Levi, was rated c few cuts behind him in Nll-around ability. The tackles on that 1928 team were Std. ham and Roebuek. The latter was all.Amerlcan and coaches generally agreed that two finer tackles never teamed together.
 McLain and George Levi were in the baekheld and the former took the nations scoring honOrs that season. Later he starred ct fullbRck for Iowa University,
 Dick Hanley was the coach, and the reputation he made with his Indians won him the coaching job at Northwestern University. Han. ley was about half the size of his towering Squadmen, but he handled them like drill-mAstef, Between halves he never took them into q dressing room because he dtdnT want them to get warm and lazy. Instead, he led them to corner of the field and spectators were free to gather around while he lectured them picturesquely on their errors,
 Rough Gentlemen Once an enthusiastic young end at Wichita University, whose name wasn't Jones, was told, mistakenly, by his coach that the way to tame the Indians was to tackle them hard and cuss them out Haskell played hard, clean football but the boys were taught to be gentleman ly on the field, SO they weren't pre-. pared for Jones reference to George Lewis ancestors when he brought Levi down with cracking tackle.
 Back in the huddle vert the In- dians, plainly perturbed, They ges- ticulated, argued. pointed at Jones and finally reached agreement. AS they lined up tNe "''o"'""''""s r"'d;
 MT. Jones, on this play MT. John Levi will carry the bah over your position"
 Practically every Indian paraded over Jones. He tried manfully to get up, but 1t was useless. There wasn't any more rough talk that after noon.
 Yes, the Irdians are vanishing but out here at Haskell, where they don't come so big and able any more, the boys and girls from the reservations take pride in that 1928 record. Here 1t is:
