  REDS WIN HONORS AT FOOTBALL Carlisle Indians Defeat the University Of Pennsylvania Eleven. PHILADELPHIA, Oct 14-The Untversfty of Pennsylvania football eleven was defeated this afternoon by the Carlisle indians, by a score of 16 to s. on Franklin neld, In twenty-five minute halves. The Indians won because they played the bet ter football. There was no f1uke or chance | about 1t, but clean-cut victory. Nearly 15,OO0 persons saw the braves scalp the Quakers.” The big crowd, helped by the university band, time and again cheered the white men to do something; but 1t was not in them The enthusiasm OF the Indians In at last conquering one of the “Big Four knew no bounds, and for a time they held a regular war dance. Pennsylvania greatest weakness today was in the line. The red men dis ! covered this early in the game and went through like a shot countless times Pennsylvania hope in the center was OVerheld, but as he only recently recovcred from severe illness and this was his first game of the year he could not fulfill the hope reposed in him. The Quakers We’re off color in their interference There was, in fact, almost a total absence or 1t. Another weak point in PennsyI- Nanla’ game was the regularity with which their men missed tackles Several times three and four men missed runners by which the Indians gained many yards on the other hand, the Indians tackling was; was herce and sure they seldom missing their man; There was not much fun bling on either side Little Hudson tried two goals from the field, and succeeded IN dropping one, Captain. Hare of Penn sylvania dropped difficult one from the tWenty-yard line. The red mems two touchdowns were made on a series of line plunges and end runs. Pennsylvania could only mold them at times. CHICAGO, Oct A.-For the first time in the history of intercollegiate football a strong Eastern eleven was to-day detod 1rr Cornell University and the University of Chicago elevens met on Marshall field, Chicago winning, by E. score of II to G. played. This fact was in Chicago’s favor, the maroon players being evidently in better condition than their Eastern opponents, who weakened perceptibly toward the close of the second half. The result was a surprise even to Chi cago’s strongest adherents, as the West ern team was without Captain Kennedy, who was laid out in the Notre Dame game of two weeks ago. In but one respect did Cornell show superiority, and that was in tackling. The Cornell backs and ends seldom failed to nail their man hard and sure. The Chicago ends were moro uncertain and high in. their tackling, but their any material gains from end runs, and Cornell in consequence, was often forced to punt. Cornell scored her only touch down in the first half by good hard line bucking. In the line, where the Eastern ers We’re expected to show the greatest superiority, Chicago did the better work and in the second half the Cornell men were played off their feet, Stalker tearing through time and again for more than the distance. 1t was straight, hard football through out, and so fierce that four of Cornells men-Starbuck, Walbridge, Caldwell and Payne-were compelled to retire in the second half Few trick plays were at tempted and only two were successful, Stalker making twenty-five yards on a delayed pass and Henry fifteen yards on a double pass. This latter play was tried twice afterward by Chicago, but Right end Cross nailed his man for loss each time. Chicago outclassed Cornell in the quick ness in which the ball was put into play and also displayed more effective interference. The interference of Cornell, when her backs attempted to swing around the ends, was too compact, and for this reason was often put out of the play alto gether by the maroon ends and backs. who tore 1t to pieces sometimes before the ball was f-irly started. The punting on both sides was decidedly off color, particularly in the first half First Young, who did most of the kick ing for Cornell, kicked the ball into his own line and this ultimately resulted in a touchdown for Chicago.
