  FAILED TO KICK THE GOAL. How West Point Lost to the Carlisle Indians WEST POINT, November 11-Failure to kick a goal caused West Point to lose today to the Carlisle Indian eleven. The score was 6 to 5 in the Indians favor and the goal which would have tied the score was missed by less than six inches. Prince Louis of Battenberg was spectator of the game. He watched it intently throughout, seldom taking his gaze off the play. Two entirely different types of foot ball players were pitted against each other, the Indians using trick plays throughout the game and the army eleven relying on it’s superior physical strength to crush it’s way to the goal line. Each team scored once by its distinctive style of play. The In dams, after long, patient waiting, picked up a tumble and raced with it over West Points goal. and then the army players goaded on by prospective defeat, pushed their way across 100 yards of the grfdiron for their score. The Indians scored about the middle of the first half. Up to that time the game had been played near midfeld, the West Pointers carrying the ball little distance into Carlisles territory, losing it and having it punted back to their own ground by Mount Pleasant the Indian quarterback After one of the punts West Point took the ball. and in attempting to gain fumbled it. 1due, the ihuidH iiSHt emu, ulFeu Tor IT, and crawling out from under the legs of the mass of men about him, secured a good lead and ran fifty-fve yards for q touch down. Mount Pleasant kicked goal The remainder of the half was an even contest Once Beavers of West Point ran sixty-five yards to the Carlisle goal and was called back for stepping out of bounds. Early in the second half West Point scored Catching the Indian kickoff on their own line the army backs went through the Carlisle guards and tackles until Weeks carried the ball over the opposite end of the gridiron. This was West Points supreme effort and the team was too exhaasted to score again, even after Beavers missed the goal from the touchdown. Score: West Point, 5; Carlisle Indians, g. The Iiue-Iin.
