C ARLISLE, PA., Nov. 29.—A re sume for the season of 1913 of the work of the Carlisle Indian football team put into a few words might say that Glenn S. Warner, recognized as the Connie Mack of football, took an aggregation of seml- trained Indian youths who had Indi vidually hitherto had comparatively little responsibility in playing the great college game, and in less than twelve weeks had built them into one of the most remarkable football ma chines America has ever seen. That there may be no doubt aa to Carlisle’s position on the American championship question, it may be said authoritatively that the Indians concede the championship to Har vard. but think that Carlisle is unquestionably entitled to second place by reason of their decisive de feat of the great Dartmouth eleven, who had beaten Princeton and Penn sylvania. There is but one thing to explain so far as Carlisle’s season record Is concerned. The defeat by Pittsburg, while greatly to Pittsburg’s credit, was not only an early season game with a raw Indian team, unde veloped and with the breaks of the game favoring the Pittsburgers, but as in the case of the tied score against Pennsylvania it was a con test in w r hich the details of play showed conclusively that Carlisle out played their opponents. * * * AT the season’s opening the Indians CV faced by far the most pretentious schedule from the standpoint of the number of games and prowess of op ponents looked forward to by any eleven. To start with, the great Thorpe was lost to the New Y’ork Giants. Such stars as Arcasa. who had earned the applause of the coun try at quarter; Bergle, a seemingly invincible center; Steam Roller Pow ell, Tackle Hodge and the remarkable ends, Large and Williams, together with at least a half dozen good substitutes, on whom Warner had lav ished much instruction, w r ere missing from the Indian line-up. Raw mate rial had to be taken. In one case, as with Larvie. who made good at first, an almost raw aborigine, was intro duced into the Indian line-up without his ever having seen a football be fore. I’ntried men like Pratt. Wal let to and Cal&c were placed in impor tant positions, and Warner wrought his handiwork with vhat he had. • * * T HAT the Indians won any of the early games is surprising, on ac count of the absolute lack of foot ball knowledge with which many of the players began. T’nlike In former years, big scores could not be rolled up at first. The Indian schedule speaks for itself, and tells the story of development. It was : Indians vs. Albiight 25- 0 Lebanon Valley 26- 0 West Virginian Wesleyan ..25- 0 Lehigh 21- 7 Cornell 7- 0 Pittsburg *-12 University of Pennsylvania 7- 7 Georgetown university ....34- 0 Johns Hopkins *1- 0 Dartmouth 35-10 Syracuse 85-27 Brown University 13- 0 * * * THE personnel of the Indian eleven * this year is remarkable when its accomplishments are considered. With one exception the eleven men have remained intact practically from the beginning of the season, which is unusual on any football team that has a hard schedule. The men generally have been light in weight, very strong physically, with mentalities capable of wonderful development and youth ful to a noticeable degree. Practical ly no injuries worthy of mention have marred the Redskins’ season. W’al- lette, at left end. and Pratt, at the right extremity, have been fast and have shown remarkable ability at getting down the field. The tackles, Welmas and Lonks- around, are men of superior attain ments. Left Guard Hill is as strong as an ox. and Right Guard Busch, in addition to being extraordinary strong on both offensive and defensive work, has been able to handle any opponents he has met. Uenter Oar- low was picked in rnidseason by Glen. Warner as the greatest center the Indian school has ever had. Quar terback and Captain Welch has shown himself to be a remarkable field general, and carried the ball with great success after the early season. In I-eft Halfback Guyon the Indians have a player who Is almost equal to the illustrious Thorpe. Right Half back Bracklin, an indigerent sub of last year, showed remarkable ability this season. Fullback Calac, also new. has made one of the country’s best backfielders. In fact, the Indian back- field quartet has probably never been surpassed anywhere for adept team work and individual capability.

Touch downs. 16 12 30 282 By Willie Ritchie. I AM proud to state that I am a na tive of Ran Francisco, a city that produced so many great men In all walks of life. I was born on February 18, 1891. and I am the sixth of a family of eleven children, consisting of Seven girls and four boys, all of whom are alive and well to-day. My father was one of the pioneers of Frisco./ For twenty years before the fire he conducted a hay and grain business, and one of my earliest- rec-. ollectlons is playing with the other children about his place. Of course, I did not think anything about fight ing those days. I was a meek sort of a kid and I never looked for trou ble with any of my playmates. My mother, who Is since dead, had her hands full looking after her large family, and she kept me huffy about the house helping her out by running errands and doing various chores. Mother was always kind, and petted me along, and l was the handy boy around the house until I started to school. T was 7 years old when I entered school. 1 got along fairly well, though, like the rest of the scholars, 1 would rather play and fool around than attend to my studies. But I finally graduated at the age of 13, much to my own relief. Both father and mother were very anxious for me to attend Sacred Heart College in Frisco, but I was stubborn and headstrong I wanted to make my own way in the world, although my folks always provided for me In every way. But I got that notion in my head, and they could not stop me. I started out to look for a Job, and I landed It, too, and held it for two years. Burned Out in Big Fire. My first place of employment was with M. Marwedel & Co., wholesale engineering supply people. I went in as an office and an errand boy, and I was getting along very nicely and learning the business when th- fire came along. We lost everything We had to flee for our lives, and, of course, my Job was gone for the time being. Put I got it back again. The neighborhood where I was born and raised was fairly alive with fighters. Such wonders as Abe At- toll, Jimmy Britt, Eddie Hanlon. Joe Thomas, Frankie Neil, Dick Hyland and scores of others who later be came famous lived in the vicinity. I used to look upon them with awe. They were heroes to the kids of the neighborhood, but, of course, we were too small and insignificant to dare mix with them. I remember the first fight I ever saw. It was that great one between Jimmy Britt and Bat Nelson, down at Colma, on September 9. 1905. 1 never will forget that date. Another b.d and myself climbed over the ience in the eighth round and mixed The Life of a Champion •!■•••!• *!*•+ +•+ *!•••»• +•+ %•••!* Ritchie Tells His Story The Georgian to-day presents the first of a series of articles by Wil lie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world. Ritchie, who is con ceded to be the greatest fighter that San Francisco hns turned out since the days of Jim Corbett, is writing the story of his life for the > entertainment of The Georgian readers. This never lias been published, ' although the name of the famous little champion is known through out the length and breadth of the civilized world. In his first arti- J cle Ritchie tells of his boyhood days in San Francisco and of how he j got interested in the boxing game. The next article will deal with how i he broke in as a four-round performer. | in with th* 4 blcacherltep. My. how ! hard we pulled for Jimmy; but, alas, vve had to sit there and watch him take the count in the seventeenth round. Like the ordinary small boy, I looked upon fighters as heroes, but, strangely enough, I never thought that I would bo one. My first am bition wan to become a professional ball player, and, if I do say It myself, I used to be a pretty handy tosser . on the sandlots. I liked the national I game, and I used to put in all my ! idle moments tossing the ball around. Fought on Sandlotr l>ater on I became interested in greyhounds. Quite a bunch of dog ow’ners used to take the hounds out for exercise. I forgot all about base ball for a while, and made up my mind that I would become a dog trainer, for coursing down at the old Ingleside Park was quite a popular sport In those days. Although 1 lived near Alex Oreg- gains’ gym, where so many famous fighters were turned out, I did not seem to take much of an interest In the practical game. I used to like to w’atch the fighters punch the bag and put on the gloves, but 1 never Indulged myself for a long time. In fact, I did not have the mitts on half a dozen times when I fought my first fight. Whatever knowledge of the game I had was gained in the sandlots and In the alleyways. 1 used to have my little scraps now and then, but none of them ever looked upon me as any better than the other kids. But I was always husky and strong and wiry, and I could step around very lively and I managed to hold my own in regular scraps and friendly bouts. After the fire, when we moved away from the district where I was borrg I seemed to lose lntere^J. in fights and fighters Everything was upset. I was separated from the lit tle pals I used to go around with, and for a time I was very much dis gusted and disheartened. Tt was something new' to me, but I kept on at my job all tho time and simply did the best I could. Then I got- in with a gang that used to attend the four-round shows every Friday night. I took In one of them and I liked It. Then 1 wen/ to another and another. Sometimes I would sneak in the gallery, and then again 1 would have the price of a four-bit seat. Anyhow, I generally managed to get out to the scraps, and the next thing I knew I had the fighting bee In my bonnet. Joe Tinker Anxious To Rejoin Old Team CHICAGO.

L&at year- 1913 is now last year, »o far as baseball 1s concerned last year there were two playing man agers on the Kavanuugh circuit -Bill Schwartz, of Nashville, and Norman Elberfeld, of Chattanooga. The Pep per Kid didn’t play so much, at that, being out of the game by reason of Injury or too much pep a great part of the time. Still ho was a playing man ager, and played whenever the state of his health and temperament would let him. Next year, in 1914, it will be differ ent There will be four playing man agers In the Southern League. • • • T HE Tabasco Aid will be In span gles again, this time with tho Pelicans.

That will be something of a chnngo —and those two worthy vets proba bly will start something quite fre quently in their new places.
