CARLISLE TEAM DEFEATED

Drop-Kick the Only Score.--Philbin and Fish Play Remarkable Football.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The All-Star football team defeated the Carlisle Indians, 3 to 0, in a close and interesting game in the Stadium yesterday. The only score, a goal from the field by Philbin, was made in the first period after several long gains by the same player. The All-Stars had two other opportunities to score, but were unable to take advantage of either. In the second period Philbin tried another field-goal which was unsuccessful, and in the last period the Indians braced on their 10-yard line and received the ball on downs. The All-Stars proved strong individually and profited by their superior weight in the line. Although the backfield started the plays accurately, the line, hampered by the new rules, was unable to protect the runner sufficiently after he had passed Carlisle's primary defence. As a result, few long gains were made through center.

The Indians tackled hard, but their play lacked finish and decisiveness, and their generalship was poor at times. Their best play was a well-developed criss-cross aimed at the tackle, but they were unable to gain by this at all consistently.

The Indians kicked off to Fish on the 28-yard line. Two exchanges of punts followed, the last punt being recovered by Fish on the Indian's 35-yard line. In the next two plays, Philbin and Pfeiffer advanced the ball 15 yards, and then after two unsuccessful rushes, Philbin dropped back and kicked a field-goal from the 30-yard line. During the remainder of the period Wauseka and Philbin engaged in a punting duel, in which the latter had a slight advantage, due principally to the effective work of the ends. In the second period, Philbin and Pfeiffer rushed the ball to Carlisle's 17-yard line, when Philbin tried an unsuccessful drop-kick. Beginning on their own 25-yard line the Indians then, by concentrating their attack on the left side of the All-Stars' defense, advanced to the middle of the field by straight rushing, only to lose the ball on a poorly executed forward pass. After an exchange of punts the half ended with the ball in Carlisle's possession on their own 45-yard line.

In the third period both sides tried a number of forward passes, in which the Indians were moderately successful, and the All-Stars inaccurate. However, the greater ability of the latter team in following the ball enabled them to recover several of these. Fish was especially noticeable, being in almost every play and recovering two or three fumbles.

In the last period, the All-Stars nearly scored again, for after one of Philbin's punts had been recovered by Fish, he punted again, and again, Fish recovered the ball, this time on Carlisle's 17-yard line. From here Philbin gained 7 yards in one rush, but in the next two plays the Indians held for downs and Wauseka was able to punt out of dangers. The game ended with the All-Stars in possession of the ball, after recovering a forward pass of the Indians.
