Indiana University Defeated by North western and Rose Polytechnic Drubbed by De PAW. culver .lS-MOrsdn Miami .2S-EarIham o vi. III. s.. ..... .2S-R. III. s.. ....... Once more the strong football eleven of the Manual Training High School. which has not been scored against this season, won the championship from the Indianapolis High School team on the Newly Oval gridiron yesterday afternoon by a score of IL to O. This victory makes the fourth year that the Manual Training School has won the cham pionship, and never has the High School team scored against its strong opponents. When play was called for yesterdays game the grandstand presented pretty appearance. The west half was occupied by the pupils of the Training School, while the east half was fairly alive with the High School rooters. The red and white of the Manual Training School predominated, and the yells and songs aided by cornet that emanated from the west half of the am phitheater, kept up the spirits of the players of the victorious team. In the High School section large white and blue banners waved in the breezes and songs were sung. but the crowd was made up mostly of girls, so their encoura ging yells were drowned by the stronger-lunged opposing rooters. Not once during the entire play did the interest in the contest lag. 1t was one of the hard est-contasted and most spectacular games ever witnessed in Indianapolis. The victory of the Manual Training School team was we’ll earned. The players resort ed TO but few trick plays, depending great ly upon the work of the fast men behind the lire. The battle waged in the first half was pretty one, the ball being carried first into one territory and then into the other, without either team seeming to have any advantage. Several times brilliant plays were made by both teams. which brought forth the encouraging class songs and school yells The enthusiasm was at such high tension in the first half that had either team succeeded in carrying the oval over the goal line the nerves of many of the young women would no doubt have sue cumbed. In the first half the full backs of both teams resorted to punting quite often, but these plays were usually followed by fumbles. After working up and down the field in the first half without either side scoring time was called with the ball on the Training Schools ten-yard line. DIFFERENT STORY. But the second half was quite different. The Training School players came upon the field after their fifteen minutes rest, and they glanced at their opponents with an air of determination which showed that they meant to go in and win the game.

They went through the tackles and guards of the High School team like thirteen-inch shell would tear its way through a board fence. The High School boys fought hard to put up u resistance that would head off the rushes of their opponents, but they were unsuccessful. The Training School boys played desperately and rapidly. BY steady High School territory. The High School boys put their strength against the line, but the Training School players then resorted to tricks. and one of their players could be seen skirting the end for few yards gain. On every play the ball was brought nearer the High School goal, and finally Coval was sent through the center of the line for touchdown. This was made within nine minutes after the ball was put in play in the second half. Diddle failed to kick goal. The High School boys then played with desperation that was astonishing, but after they succeeded in gradually sending the pig skin up the field their opponents put up strong wall that could not be broken down, and they lost the ball. on downs. Then the fast work of the Training School eleven carried down the field for another touch down and goal.

Other Scores Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 18.-In whirlwind Of excitement simply heart-breaking in its intensity, the Harvard–Yale game on Soldiers Field this afternoon, ended without a score. Yale had played Harvard to a standstill; then Harvard had rallied to one of the grandest finish es ever seen on the gridiron and after a missed try at goal the immense crowd of people swarmed down from the seats to where the players were cheering their OPP ponents. The famous football game on the same field in 81 had been repeated and Yale, by her superb defense, had acid the much boosted Harvard attack uhe contest was a brilliant one from start to finish; and from the blowing of the first whistle to the sounding of the last the result was in doubt. The end of the game furnished the most thrilling climax of the afternoons sport, when, after rushing the ball to YaIe’s 25-yard line by steady plays, and but 30 seconds OF the playing time left, Hallowell, the Har ward end brought the enormous crowd to their feet when he dropped back Of the line for a drop kick for goal. The two lines crouched, the Yale men preparing to tear through, if possible, and prevent this last chance for Harvard’s Bignal; the lines best lower, and ALI lowell was ready for the final effort. Not a sound was heard as the ball was put into play, with the opposing rushers crashing the ground at the same moment. Daily made a clean pass, and Hallowell kicked. 1t was a neat attempt, but the pigskin sailed just outside the goal posts. Indeed, the goal was so narrowly missed that the Harvard followers went wild in their belief that five points had been scored. A few seconds later the Yale men were thrown in paroxysms Of delight when it became known it was mo goal” Lincoln.
