Tho crack team of tho University OF Ponnsyl. yania struck n snng yesterday when the Carlisle Indians lined up on Franklin Field, philndclphia.

The showing Of tho Indians was tho best they have made this year, and their game with Brown University hero next Saturday may result in their first victory over n leading college eleven.

This victory strengthens the belief that Yale’s olevon Is rounding into such shape that the game with Harvard next Saturday will DO most sensational. The large number of minor games played yesterday all over the country shows that the interest in the game is at white heat. PENNSYLVANIA, 20; CARLISLE INDIANS, 10. PHILADEIrHIA Nov. 6.-Thc Carlisle Indians treated Pennsylvania and 10000 spectators to the biggest football surprise of tho season today. Tho Quakers had looked forward to a hard gnn,e against the crack eleven Of tho United States training school. but did not enpect such n game rs it proved to tic. There was some question in the minds OF Pennsylvania followers whether or not the Indians would hold PENIS team down to q total of 20, but they were prepared for this. There were a few who believed that the Carlisle boys would sue coed In sending the ball between Pennsylvania goal posts, but it is sntc 10 say that nobody in the vast crowd anticipated that the Indians would score twice. Much less did they expect Mt Mt n”y period Of the game the visitors would lead the home team. while tho iiea OF the rod mon ending the first half with the advantage in their favor was not even considered as n possibility. Yet this WINS the cnse. due to a variety OF causes. including both the good play Of the Indians and mistakes on Pcnnsylvania’s part. No discrcdit. either. is attached 10 Pennsylvania team by reason of It.. Against the o Ids OF n small gale which blow straight down he. field against hem the Qunkers did well TO twice force the ball over the Indians gonl line In tho first half. That they did not hold the Indians in check and shut them out Is not surprising. considering the weakened condition OF the team and the strong game played by the visitors. 1t was such a Q ‘ntest as one would expect to see on the occasion OF the final game 4 the season; Both elevens played good football. Both ones. neither would they to likely TO prove So in 2 big game. They were mistakes which favored affected them to that extent.

  On Franklin Field the Indians Yield to the QuakerS. YALE AND CHICAGO CLUB A WIND WHICH FAVORED BOTH ALTERNATELY. Game Between Carlisle and Penn sylvania Was Fast and Furious Yale’s Improved Play Yesterday Opens Out Interesting Possibilities-College Football News. Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-The University of PENNSYLVANIA football eleven this afternoon defeated the Carlisle Indians on Franklin field by the score of 20 to 10. The red men kicked two goals from the field in the first half, while the red and blues scored two touchdowns. from which no goal resulted. In the second half, however, the In dians did not get within 80 yards of Pennsylvania goal. except on kicks, and then Pennsylvania would rush the ball down the field. Princeton had scored IS points against the Indians without having her goal crossed, while Yale’s score was a to 8 for the red men. There was a strong wind from the west, and after winning the toss. the Carlisle boys chose the west goal, with the wind at the backs. On every exchange OF pUnts they gained from 10 to is yards, despite the fact that Minds kicked in good form. The Indians clearly earned both of their field goals, as beautiful end runs for % yards by Mcfarland and Wheelock brought the bali TO Pennsylvania 20-yard line. and her little hulesOn showed his ability as kicker by dropping the ball square ly between the posts The Indians used the Princeton re- NolNing wedge play for occasional gains, but they could make little i’m precision OF Pennsylvania’s line and would Invariably resort to kicking. There was some bad fumbling by the Quahers, Weeks and Outland being the chief offenders. The latter. however, more than eoualled matters by his Superb tacl1ling and end skirting. Penn sylVania’s ends got down the field fast under kicks, and once forced Hudson to make safely after Metoxen had funbled the ball Neither team had out their run strength. Pennsylvania was badly handicapped by the absence of Boyle from left end, while the Indians were without the services of their brilliant half back, Jamaison. In the first half the Quakers played a dull listless game, but in the second half they braced up and had it not been for the two disastrous fumbles. two additional touchdowns would have undoubtedly resulted. The red men played good, stiff. foot ball, but We’re remarkably susceptible to Injuries. After nearly every scrinmage there would be an Indian stretch ed out on the gridiron. For the visitors, Pierce. Wheelock and McFarlaae were the stars The two latter were worked SO persistently, how ever, that they We’re forced to retire. For the red and blue, Captain Minds was the star. He never failed to gain when sent against the line or around the end, often wriggling away from two OF three Indians before being stopped. McCracken and Hare also Dloughed through the visitors line for good gains Pennsylvania did not try any OF her tricks. relying wholly on straight football Touchdowns.-Minds, .; Hare Nc Cracker. Goal-Minds. Goals From Field.-Hudson, >. Safety.-HudsOn. Total score: Pennsylvania, 20; In dams, 10. Time 30-minute halves.
