INDIANS ACCLAIMED BEST FOOTBALL TEAM

After the great work of the Indian eleven in their game with West Point, there are many army football experts who are ready to acclaim them the best all-around team of the year. Others doubt whether they would be able to stand up against eithervPrinceton, Harvard or Yale. Certainly no team has shown & more spirited attack, but the end men’s line Is weak,

and a combination of backs like Harvard’s might be able to drive through It with a comfortable score. Thorpe, Aracasa and Guyon of the Carlisle team are regarded as stars of All-American magnitude, and the West Point coaches are a unit in declaring that Thorpe Has probably never had a superior in the history of the sport. .
