Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 23.—'There ( was weeping last night In the tents of ‘the <’hippowas, ami the chiefs of the Bloux nation were sad. Hut In the lit tle old town «f Nashville then* was much noise and a large f and bibulous ■ rejoicing. • For, the prldu.of the Five Civilised iTribes, the doughty warriors of the .'Carlisle nation, • had bit the mud of 'Dudley Held and lost the grandest ’football game of the Southern season *to Vanderbilt’s • men by u score of 4 to 0.~ The victory was one of the mightiest .ever won by a Southern team.- i The Commodores hud tackled the » prise team of the football season of 11906—the team which had humbled j Minnesota and disgraced Pennsylva nia; the team which lost to Harvard ‘ only on a fluke—the fastest, trickiest, luckiest, pluckiest, most strenuous ag gregation which has appeared on American gridirons this year. For a fact, if,somebody should come up behind me as I write and say, "Wake up there, Carlisle won, -4 to opener,” In order to get in shape for Cincinnati on Saturday and. Virginia next Thursday. It was to get a, little preliminary, workout. Well, they got the workout all right, but It/was the toughest proposition of its kind they ever tackled. It Is doubtful if tile Indians are awake yet, either. When they rushed Vanderbilt right off their feet In the opening of the flrst half—when they Just naturally beat the Commodores ut their own special- kind of football— they took It as a matter of course. When Vanderbilt held them on Van derbilt’s one-yard line It must have been something of a Jar. Hut when It comes to sizing up their subsequent feelings, as the Vanderbilt team in turn ran them off their feet, outplayed them In every possltde department of tho game, and finally beat them 4 to 0, the limits of our vocabulary prove in adequate. There fs no one word which tells anything about It. e Just to back up the dope, the writer asked one question of a dozen football CARLI8LE CAPTAIN. M. Pleasant, left Half and punter for tHa Carlisle Indians, who showed up well for th# Indians in ths Vandsrbilt game. touchdowns to a Held goal, or maybe two. Well, lift called the turn on the field goal, but his foot slipped »>n the rest of It. • . It was the fastest and best game of football ever played on Dudley field. If ever a contest in the South equaled It In the ability of the contestants, the speed of the game and the strenuoslty wlh which it was played, then It has slipped the minds of most at those who saw the contest. And If the spectators at that game were surprised, how does anybody sup-4 pose tlu* Indians felt about It? What a Surprise. The Carlisle crew took this Vander bilt game on Just as a little “pipe mined men. “The Indians MUST NOT score.’’ they said. And tile Indiuhs didn’t. On the third down Vanderbilt held on the one-yard line. Ten seconds later the ball had bounded out into the middle of the field, propelled thither by a boot from the toe ?f Hob Btakft. After that Vanderbilt s goal line was Hnfe for the remainder of the game. Twice the Indians got within kicking distance and tried drop kicks. But both failed miserably. Another time the Indians had third down and a good bit of distance to go to make the required ten yards. \vhen they sprung what was to most of the spectators strictly a “new one.” Sprung • Nsw One. The center instead of snapping the hall buck, made a bluff at doing so but Instead he booted the ball briskly along the ground.

And the answer wus unanimous, “No, nowhere, In nothing.” The Indians were outplayed In everything-and-at every stage of the game, except right at first. j When the contest opened up tho In dians got the bait and curried .It right down the Held.

In the second half the Indians came back and played football with a desper ation and determination which has •«el- Join ls'en equalled on a Southern field. They tackled. like demons, thoy charged like runaway automobiles, und they ^lugged like pugilists—covertly but vl- iously. Penalty after penalty was tissensed against them for rough work. .Toward the end of the.aecond half, when the boil wus punted, Dan Blake signalled iliat he was going to try a fair catch.

Hut h« grlttlly stuck It out to the end and he was the man who blocked the forward pass with which the Indians ended the game. A detailed description of‘the heroic* doings of the Vanderbilt men In the game with the Indians would fill a hook. Bob Blake played a phenomenal game at and,- ran the ball in fine style and kicked the goal that gave Vanderbilt a victory. Dan Blake and Craig, the halves, did notably good work. Both of them ad vanced the ball well and both did some fine stunts on the defensive. . Little Vaughan Blake. Vaughan Blake, the man whose end has been regarded as the weak spot on the Vanderbilt team, played like the proverbial “hell-cat.” He was right there when It came to smashing up plays, and proved steady and reliable as a clock. Chorn at right guartl showed himself/ as he has again and again this year, to he the best man in that position In the South. He was there In every play, frequently broke through on defensive and tangled *up the Indians' plays and alt(/g‘.ther proved himself a wonder. The other guard, McLain, played a steady, reliable game and so did Ed Noel, the right tackle. Pritchard put up a wonderful game. He went gul- loplng down the Held under punts like a festive fiend, held his Indian oppo nent as though he had been an Infant and**altogether showed himself to be When he called out the first of his braves Mnd sent In a substitute one of the newspaper men rushed up to him and asked, “Who Is ihnt man going In?” Pierce did not even lurn around. He Just said, “Oh, you shut up,” in a sad, sweet tone and turned away. Later requests for Information along the same line dltf not even elicit a reply. The big brave's manners disappeared, along with the chances for a Carlisle victory. Another very sorrowful bunch ufter the game was a trio of Hawanee men— Coach Quill, “Skinny" Shipp and Half back Harris, of the Kcwanee team, During the second half the two players, who had Invited themselves on the side lines, run up and down the field, en couraging the Indian team, exulting every time the Indians gained,and be moaning their bitter fate every time the Indians lost ground. Altogether, It was a very sad display of misplaced Inter-collegiate spirit. An Atlanta Indian. One rooter the Indians had came to them as their right by kinship and that was Cornelius King, steward of the Atlanta Athletic Club und u three- quarter blooded Cherokee Indian.

Every Man a Haro. If anybody who played under the gold and black bdnner has been overlooked in this “boosting match” It was through an oversight, for every man proved himself to be a hero and won for the Nashville university a victory which will be talked about at Vanderbilt fix long as football Is played. . As for the Indians—well, there were so many of them in the game and they all did so well that it Is haM to par ticularise. They all played fine foot ball—lust let it go at that.
