  INDIANS DEFEAT ALABAMA ELEVEN BY SCORE OF 20 TO 3 Pound Way Through Crimson and Victory in First Three Quarters VandeGraaffs Toe Gives Alabama Score Football lovers of Birmingham had an opportunity of seeing one of the big eastern elevens in action yesterday aft ernoon when the Carlisle Indians defeated Alabama 20 to 3, but very few of them availed themselves of the opportunity. Those who did witnessed a rafting good game, despite the rather top-heavy score in favor of the redskins. In the first half the Indians had things their own way. Boring through the line over right tackle they scored in the first five minutes of play, Pratt, the great half back, carrying the ball. In the second quarter Pratt added another touchdown, White kicking goal. The final touch down came in the first few minutes of play in the second half, when Johnson went over right tackle. He kicked goal. Alabama developed whirlwind attack in the second half and got in striking dis lance of the Carlisle goal when Vande- CRAFT booted the ball over the cross bar. The kick was from the 30-yard line, and was as pretty as was ever witnessed on lockwood Field. The Indians kicked to Alabama’s 90 yard line, and VandeGraaff ran the ball back As yards. 1t seemed for a moment that he was away and would cross the goal line, but he was pulled down by Broker. Grif Harsh at quarter then tried a forward pass. He threw the ball over left end and Morton caught it and sfumbled, but before the ball struck the ground Love grabbed it.

Pounded at Line Alabama seemed to be afflicted with stage fright in the first half and the In dams shook off Crimson tacklers with ease. They kept pounding away at the Alabama line and succeeded in driving the ball along easily In the first half the Indians were held for downs but once, and that was within Alabama’s five-yard line In the first half Alabama made first down but once. In the second portion of the game, how ever, things were materially altered and Graves warriors found their legs The line stiffened and the tackling became tiercer and surer. Bill Harsh, Neville and Tubby Long punctured the Indian line and the Cas- Isle backs were stopped before they got started. In the open game the Indians did not shine, Out of six attempts at forward passes but two were successful, and these
