  YALE’S NARROW ESCAPE. CARLISLE INDIANs PLAT PRACTI- CALLY DRAW WIN THE BLUE. tnke-The New Haven Eleven Plays y Poor Game. while the Indians Sur pr,.e m Mig Crowd By Their Fine Work. Whom the pluoky Carlisle Indians walked of Manhattan Field at the conclusion of the game with Yale yesterday afternoon there was mighty cheer from thousands of throats, which soon developed into a great roar, lasting fully Eve minutes. Tho red men received this ova- tion because they had practically played n draw with tho New Haven eleven, although the fnal score was q to O In favor Of the Blue. But for n palpnbly wrong ruling by tho referee which he afterward ncknowledRed, the figures at tho end of the second half might have been lo to 12. providing a goal had been Kicked from n atouchdown that was as cleanly made as any in the history OF football. All of tile officials were Yale men and the In dians wero constantly complaining Of their al legged partisanship. 1t may have been unintentional. but on several occasions there were rulings that certainly looked queer. The fact that the Yale team as whole made a poor showing may have caused the officials to lose their heads but It 10 o certainty that had w. o. Hickok, the referee, ruled properly In tho Sec ond half Yale would have had o close call from q practical defeat. Tho play that caused all the trouble and In censed a majority Of tho crowd occurred In the second half. about Ave minutes before time was up. The Indians had the ball their own twenty -hve.ynrd line. Jameson. the left end, was brought back. and when he received tho leather he followed his interference into hole made between rig hit tackle and end He was par TALLY held but his tackler thrown OF easily, and then Jameson emerged back of Tale’s line. running like the wind. He lodged past Mills and Chnuncey and sprinted like grey hound for Yale’s goal. Two wearers Of the blue gave chase. but they were blocked Oft by four Indians. who formed superb interference behind Jameson. and when the latter placed the ball between Yale’s goal posts there was tremendous burst OF enthusiasm from the stands, the viadu uct. and Deadhead Hill. But the cheering was suddenly cut short, for the big referee was seon waving his han ke-chief to Jameson as n signal to como back In a moment there was a howl of Indignation from the crowd, and especially from the Indians the enpelves. Hickok held a short consultation with Josh Hartwell. tho umpire, and Capt. Murphy OF Yale, who rushed into the field from the side lines. aud then he ordered the Indians to mako the play over again. Bemis Pierce, tho captain OF the redskins. asked why tho touchdown had not been allowed. and received the informatio that the referee had thought that Jameson cried down” when he first hit the limo. Hickok was clearly ratified. and when the Indiana refused to continue he made mat ters worse by admitting his mistake. Under the rules his first decision was final, SO that tho Indians were clearly deprived OF o touchdown and probable goal. as the ball would have been kicked from q point directly in front OF the posts. Hickok. who has been coaching the carlisle team. then succeeded In getting the Indians to play again by telling them that they still had the ball and could easily score another touchdown. But this out of the question. for in the remaining min utes the Yale men fought for their lives and succeeded in keeping their opponents from advnncinG tho ball into their territory. 1t 10 not too much to say that haG the Indians been strong in punting Yale might have seen q very different issue to the game. In kicking re indians we’re wofully weak and at every at tempt the sons of Eli made tremendous gains on them. For all Of that. the spectators saw o game that for variety of incident and honest, hard play will hardly be exceled this season, aud the black haired aboriGines. besides the glory OF scoring six to Yale’s twelve. have the added satisfaction OF such reception from the crowd has never before been given to any but the ampionship teams. Moreover 1t was non-partisan enthusiasm. brought out simply because the Indians played q magnificent game against a team that was expected to win an easy victory. oh. this Is a cinch.” said tho more enthusi. astc Yale supporters in the inter mission. We’ll eat ‘em up in the second half. Why. Princeton didn’t score at all in the first half and she scored 22 in the second. Well make ‘em think they’re playing marbles now.” But the conservative ones shook their heads. They had noticed that the Indian centre was i’m pervious: that while at the first Yale’s interference around tho ends was effective, as tho game went on the Indians had developed a method OF tearing that interference to pieces and getting at the man with the ball. They had also noted anu with misgivngs for Yale. that every now and then the blue line would show gaps through which q horse and wagon might have been driven. For these reasons the conkervatives were inclined to believe that Yales total score would not exceed the figure that Princeton had piled up. but very few expected to see Ellis sons shut out entirely in the second half. When the Indians returned to tho field they were rousingly welcomed. and they showed themselves well worthy of the welcome for they held the Yale team at every point. True. the play was fer the most part in the western end OF the field. where the Indians goal was. but Mt no time did 1t get very near to the line. and. with tho exception OF one or two points, the ball did not cover n territory OF more than forty yards while in play Back and forth wnged the battle, Yale being unable to gain against the determined defence of the Indians, but wthstanding with great pluck the savage attacks on her line So the battle waged. now on this side OF the field, now on thnt, but not moving for any great distance toward either goal. AT the call of time IL wns near the middle Of the field. and 1t was plain to see that Yale. instead OF regretting that there was no more lime In which to gain another DOS Bfble score. was thantCul that the end had come Altogether the ~ 10 did not fall below tho ltlllarl of thn cha n t,i in
