  Carlisle 26. PENNSYLVANIA 6. Philadelphia, Oct. 2S-Carlisle IN dams 26, Penn 6. This score tells the relative strength of the two teams in their football game on Franklin field Saturday afternoon. Twenty-Five thou sand persons paid extra prices for tickets in order to gloat over the down fall of the red men, but they did not have a chance to exult, except towards the close of the game, when tumble enabled the red and blue to score a touchdown and avert a shut out. From the Pennsylvania standpoint there was not one redeeming feature and the coaches had their much Wanted aggregation torn to pieces in line plays, and their ends completely fooled on forward passes. Time and time again the Indians gained ten to fifteen yards on their long passes, and most of them played like a lot of schoolboy novices. When ‘Pete” Hauser kicked a goal from placement from the fifteen yards line in the first eight minutes of play, he sounded Pennsylvania death knell, for that reverse took away half of their confidence and rendered them easy victims. In order to crown his herculean efforts with glory, Hauser repeated his feat from the forty-yard line for the final score of the day, and he was carried off the field by a happy band of Indians at the end of the game. The QuakerS had been led to believe they had an excellent chance of beating the Indians, but they were misled, the red men having weight and speed on them. The latter were also much surer in handling the ball and they thoroughly earned their VIC tory by means of superior football playing. Carlisle scored three times in the first half. Hauser kicked the goal from placement and a few minutes later Hendricks grabbed up the ball when Hollenbach fumbled on the Indians ten-yard line. Hendricks flew down the field for one hundred yards for a which Umpire Edwards disaHowed, but Referee Corbin over ruled him and allowed the score Mount Pleasant kicked the goal, and repeated the trick when Payne made a touchdown from a blocked kick by HolIenbach. That ended the scoring in the first half, the total being: In dams, 16; Pennsylvania, 0. The red and blue made better de- Tense for a time in the second half, but the Indians were not to be denied, and after an exchange of kicks, there was a nlixup behind the Pennsylvamia goal line.
