  INDIAN CENTER SBADLY HURT Rushed to Hospital in Philadelphia; Carlisle Team Loses to Penn Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-The Uni versity of Pennsylvania defeated the Carlisle Indians Saturday by 26 to o. Folwell’s men had to work like trojams to keep the fleet redskins from crossing their goal line. Repeatedly the Indians threatened to score, once working the ball to Penn’s three-yard line and again to the five-yard lire, and barely missing two goals from placement. Howard Berry was the individual star. He scored two touchdowns, kicked a field goal, and scored a goal from touchdown before his retirement in the first half. In the last half Light carried the ball over after a series of line plunges. The other Penn points were made by QuigIey with a goal from placement. The game was replete with spurts of brilliant work by the Indians when it was little expected. This alone made the game interesting as the heavier Penn line withstood the Indian attack whenever they tried line plunging. Carry Jones From Field During the early part of the game when Penn was hitting smashing blows at brief intervals, Casey Jones, the Indian center, rated as a six teen-year- youth, but who is really twenty-five years of age and a member of the Mohawk Tribe, was thrown heavily under a scrimmage and received the full force of a charge through the line, all of the players running over him and piling upon his body. When the players were untangled Jones was completely out and 1t was necessary to carry him from the field, place him in an ambulance and send him to the University Hospital. 1t was reported that he suffered concussion of the brain and an injury to his leg. This serious injury to a slim and youthful-looking Red Man seriously checked the aspirations of the Penn men, brought them to realization of the proposition that confronted them, made them determined to merely hold the lead they had gained and even sobered the spectators, who ceased looking upon the struggle as a football contest.

  PENN DIDN’T TRY TO TALLY BIG SCORE Carlisle Game Simply q Workout for Big Game With Cornell The University or Pennsylvania football squad achieved a fair workout and nothing more for the big Thanksgiving game with Cornell by trouncing the Carlisle Indians in Saturdays set-to on Franklin Field other wise the game was not n success, The fact that IL was the second SATURDAY game that Penn ever scheduled as a prclud” to the Thanksgiving fraCas failed TO draw real Saturday crowd and the small attendance was forced 10 shiver in the raw air as soon as the sun gave indications Of leaving the scene” Tho 26–⁠0 score tells nothing except that Penu’S frst-string team found mere toys in their lighter, younger and weaker redsiln opponents. The appearance Of tn” Indians on Franklin Field was in strange contrast to the formidable veteran squads that Glen Warner formerly brought TO Philadelphia to battle with old Penn as equals of the Red and Blue. The youthful copper-colored warriors We’re unable to cope with FoIwell’S organization.
