  INDIANS BIG TRIUMPH. THE CARLISLE ELEVEN OyERWHELMS COLUMBIA ~ TO D. NEw-YORK PLAY -;Rs ~ POOR CONDITION A MEAGRE SHOWING AGAINST THE MAGNIFr -ENT WORK OF THE VISITORS THE VISITORS. Columbla’s hopes for a brilliant close ~ her football season were completely crushed by the Carlisle Indians Yesterday who overwhelmed the Blue and White by the remarkable score or – TO o. The work of the Indians was superb throughout, but so far as football playing IL concerned they met a foe hardly worthy OF their steel 1t is clear that Columbia arrived az the zenith Of her strength for the football season of lN7o just in time TO defeat the Yale eleven. for IN that contest nearly five weeks ago Columpia showed power and dash and Development that have been conspcuously absent almost ever since The players have been plainly over trained at times. and though the coaches believed that the college youths had rounded into good physical condition again. II was evident before the first fifteen minutes of play were over yesterday that the New-Yorkers were far from fit They were easily wnded and weIngh wholly exhausted before the first half was over PERFECT WORK BY INDIANS. Columbias poor condition should not detract in any way from tho brilliance OF the Carlisle Indian victory, for the native North Americans played a game yesterday that would have been a doubtful proposition for the very strongest varsity eleven on the gridiron TO tackle The Indian Interference by far the best thinS seen in New-YOrk this year. being superior IN both compactness and speed to the first class formations that Cornell displayed here against Columbia. In fact, it would be extremely dlffcult 10 pick flaws in the work Of the redmen- Thev tackled with a ferceness and an audacity that were never falling. They outSicked Columbia on every exchange and when it came TO rushing the ball whether through the line or around the ends Carlisle was simply invincible. PERHAPS the most noticeable feature OF their play. however was their speed az all times They played the fastest game seen on the grid iron this season Yale’s play at Cambridge against Harvard was characterized as extremely fast. but it was not so rapid as Carisles work yesterday. ONE SIDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. It goes without saying that the score Of 10 T. was wholly unexpected in its hugeness by the most ardent partisan Of the Indians anf marks the game conspcuously. for the two elevens had been considered on about an even footing. and the odds were only slightly. II at all. in favor Of the Indians. But almost from the start It was apparent that Columbia was outclassed After the first three minutes OF play the red men began a series Of spectacular end rushes that carried the ball close 10 CO. umbia’s goal and. while the Indians did not AT once score they soon had the play close TN der the Columbia goal again and Hudson started the figur with ., for a field goal After that the Indians made, one after another series Of brilliant, hair-raisng dashes around the end that brought the ball repeatedly 80 close n their enemy’s goal that IL was simple matter 10 push It across The first haf closed with a score OF % to 0, and the second half was simply a repetition Of the first. the mighty Indians scoring almost AZ will. and az clocklks intervals.
