  INDIANS VICTORIOUS AZ TUE GAME WITH WISCONSIN AT THE COLISEUM. CLEAN, HARD FOOTBALL. CARLISLE EMPLOYED THE TACTICS WHICH TOLD SO HEAVILY ON YALE. FINAL SCORE EIGHTEEN TO EIGHT. Chicago Society Turned Out in Force to Witness the Evening Indoor Athletic Event. CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The Carlisle In dams defeated the University of Wis consin football eleven tonight by a score of Is to 8. Two of their touch downs were scored in the second half by steady, persistent hammering at Wisconsin’s CENTER the tactics which told so heavily on Yale. The Badgers, who were in none the best of condition, were simply unable to hold them. Wisconsin lost much ground for off side playing and, in fact. the touch down Of the Indians in the first half was directly attributable to this. Karel. as usual, did some brilliant playing for the Badgers, one run of twenty-five yards being made through a maze of tacklers. He was unfortunate, how ever, in catching punts, and the yell low-painted roof evidently initiated greatly against accurate catching. Both teams played clean. hard foot ball. 1t was simply a case of condition, and the magnificent form dis played by the Indians made the issue certainty after they secured the bali in the second half A funny incident occurred in the first half. With the ball in Carlisles pos session and on the fifteen-yard line, B. Pierce dropped back for kick The ball went almost straight up into the girders, where it stuck, and the audi ence yelled itself hoarse, as some small boy, more daring than his companions, crawied up the incline of one of the big girders to where the ball was and dislodged it. Then he sat there and grinned as all kinds OF advice Were howled at him. The playing in the first half was fierce on both sides. Wisconsin’s backs easily excelled the Indians, who were rather slow in getting started. On the other hand, the massive men on the Carlisle eleven frequently tore big holes through the Badger line, and when it came to a case of weight against weight, invariably showed the ball along for yards. The Wisconsin men did much better, however, than their friends expected, and but for the unfortunate play of Ryan in being off side, would not have been scored against before the first call of time. In the second half the Indians had things, after they secured the ball, pretty much in their own hands. SOCIETY OUT IN FORCE. The football game tonight between the Carlisle Indians and the University OF Wisconsin was a memOra BILE one for mere reasons than one. The report that President-elect Mckinley was to De. one of the spectators was probably az potent factor, if not more so. in draw, Ing the crowd of between 49, 00G and H. 600 people, than the game itself 1t also gave football enthusiasts an opportunifty Of witnessing contest between a team that is tacitly recognized as the strongest in the West and one which has met the elevens Of the high four
