  ALBRIGHT EASY FOR THE INDIANS Losers Score Second Touchdown Ever Made Against Redskins at Carlisle. Carlisle, Pa, Sept z.-The Carlisle In dian football players opened the years football season here this afternoon by defeating the strong Albright College eleven, so to J, the visitors score including the second touchdown ever made by Indian opponents on the local held. The period score stood, Il to o. Is to T. IS to Z. and 30 to Z. The new rules did not seem to make a great difference in the game, except that they made 1t easier to gain ground consecutively and made the elevens incline toward conservative play instead OF using tricks and running big risks. The defeuse as used by both of the teams today was practically the same as that of last year, as was the forward passing, the extra length allowed not seeming to make much difference. The cutting out OF the so-called open play. while evil dent, does not seem to be loss. -Four or i’ve Of A1bright’s men are stars of magnitude. The Indians to-day mixed up their regulars with new material, at no time having more than six varsity men working. Carlisle’s work In Coach Warmers opinion, was ragged and at times careless Capt Thorpe was out today with a sprained shoulder.
