          SATURDAY'S GAME.
          ..............
  A Big Score in Favor of the Indians.
          ..............
  On Saturday, at noon, the large Herdic went to the station and brought out to the school the baseball team of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, who had defeated the Indians by a score of 5 to 3 at Gettysburg a few weeks before.
  The Gettysburg men were received with open arms by the Indians, for didn't we intend to send them back with heads down over a defeat?  So in everything outside the game special attention was given the visiting team, who proved themselves, all through, gentlemen of the first class.
  The game was called at 2 o'clock, and a good crowd consisting of town people and home folk were enthusiastic with expectancy.
  The Indians took first bat and scored 6 runs.  Gettysburg did not get a run until the 6th inning, and that was the only one they got, while the Indians ran up a score of 27.  The players on our side were as follows:  Frank Hudson, Captain and 1b., Jacob Jamison, p., Hawley Pierce, c., George Shelafo, ss., Wallace Mille r, 3b., Artie Miller, cf., Chauncy Archiquette, lf., Christian Eastman, 2bl, Jonas Mitchell, rf.

   THE FEBRUARY ENTERTAINMENT.

   The monthly entertainment given by the Academic Department last Wednesday evening was the best this school year, and as was said by our superintendent at the close after encouraging commendation, it should be the best, for the last must always be best if we progress as we should.
   We are sure could Merrill E. Gates have heard his production "The Nineteenth Century Shapes the Twentieth," as declaimed by Hawley Pierce, (No. 9) one of our tallest students, he would have been pleased at his manly bearing and the emphasis he placed upon the strongest sentiments.
   "The Story of Washington not in History," showing how the boy George was kept in one day after school for not having prepared his lesson as he should, and as there was to be a snow-ball battle and he captain of the command, it was particularly trying to the youth, was told by Stephen Parish, No.2, with a clearness and vim much appreciated.
   Three little boys from No. 1, -Glen Pierce, Elias Jordan, and Lyman Lay gave selections from Whittier and Longfellow, which amused some who were so impolite as to laugh at their brave efforts.  We must not forget that WE once began just where they are, and that we did not like to be laughed at.  They did very well indeed.
   Master Samuel Ortley, No. 13, brought out in a laughable manner the Dance with the Stars.  We could almost hear the man in the moon whistling a tune, while the comet kept time with its tail.
   "The Bright Crimson Morning," Verdi, was well rendered by the choir.
   George Paisano and Peter Killbuck gave a dialogue which was good for No. 3 pupils.  Louisa Cornelius No. 14, spoke Eugene Field's "Dutch Lullaby" eliciting good applause.  George Pradt declaimed George Branson's "Room at the Top," with unusually fine emphasis and expression.
   Music and song are woven in these programs where seemingly most needed for best effect.  Mabel Buck and Ida Swallow played "Sakontalas" - Bendel's beautiful Valse Brillante in a manner that showed skill.
   Little Thomas Griffin's rendition of James Whitcomb Riley's "When the World Bursts Through," made everybody laugh and he received a round of applause that must have gratified the teacher of Number 6.
   Mary Logg, No. 7, was quite a surprise to many in her rendition of H.H.'s "Spinning," and Philip Towsey, No. 4, did his teacher proud, in Alice Carey's "Memory's Picture."
   Then followed Juanita, by the entire school.  They boys and girls sang it as though they enjoyed it, which dispelled the thought of some that it was an odd selection for a school song.  The school's rendition of the opening song accompanied by the band and sleigh bells, was particularly good.
   Oscar Sylvester, No. 8, gave Mark Twain's Mining Story, very naturally and was applauded enthusiastically.  Edward Peters, No. 11, was dignified and graceful in his declamation of C. Gerkie's "The Equality of Man" and Viola Zieh was as sedate in Eugene Hall's "Lincoln the Chieftain."  Both of these numbers were well received.  As the Tableau "A Beauteous Sisterhood" was making ready, the band played "Darkies' Frolic," which sent more than one of the audience down to Dixie Land in thought, and very few could hold toes for feet from keeping time.  The tableau representing the thirteen Colonies by as many pretty girls grouped around Washington, was impressive and beautiful in the play of pink foot-lights.  The girls did themselves credit, as did those who arranged the scene.

   The war spirit ran high in No. 10 - Mrs. Cook's room, last Tuesday evening at the study-hour period, which was devoted to the study of Spain and the present situation, closing with a spirited debate upon the question that the United States should declare war.  The entire list of speakers wanted to be on the affirmative side, and it shows that peace principles have been well taught in the class and that both sides have been thoroughly studied, for Edgar Rickard and Myron Moses spoke in favor of non-declaration of war, when it was directly in opposition to their feelings.  Capt. Pratt, Miss Burgess and Miss Forster were the judges appointed by the debaters.  Hawley Pierce and George Connor, each made a manly effort on behalf of the affirmative, but as the decision of the judges had to be upon the merits of the argument with all feeling thrown aside the negative won by scoring the most points.

   According to accounts our boys put up a fine game with the Pennsylvania University team in Philadelphia, last Saturday.  The 'Varsity team beat us by a score of 5 to 2.  Last year it was 17 to 1.  It is said that pitcher, Frank Hudson gives the ball as cunning a twist as he does his toe in football.  James Johnson made a star catch.  The boys feel confident from the way they played and from the criticisms made since, that had Hawley Pierce been good condition we would have stood a fair chance of winning.  We were ahead for five innings.

   Mr. Thompson says relative to the treatment our baseball boys received last Saturday, by the Country Athletic Club of Pennsylvania's capital: We were met at the depot by carriages and taken to their grounds, which are beautifully situated north of Harrisburg near the river.  It was purely a social affair, members and their guests only being admitted.  The game began with prospects of a large score in our favor but in the second inning "our" Mr. McCormick went in the box and no more runs were tallied for us.  In the eighth inning they scored their only run.  The game ended 5 to 1 in our favor.  Hawley Pierce who was prevented from playing because of a bad thumb was umpire.  After the game we were dined by Mr. McCormick at the Club.  The visit was much enjoyed and made many friends for the school.

  The students of 8th grade, Mrs. Cook, teacher, gave another interesting debate on Tuesday evening before a few invited guests.  The morning school took the affirmative of the question.  Resolved, That the expansion policy is a good one for the United States, and the afternoon division took the negative side.  There were three appointed speakers from each division, then the question was open for discussion, each speaker taking but two minutes.  The speakers for expansion were Samuel Palmer, Hawley Pierce, Edwin Smith, Frank Beaver, Frank Compeau, Ada Smith, James Johnson; against it, Herman Niles, Edward Willing, Emmanuel Powlas, Myron Moses, Edgar Rickard, George Conner, Thos. Mason, and Louis Trombla.  Guy Brown presided, Susie Baker was secretary and Zenia Tibbetts served as critic.  The discussion showed that those who took part had been reading and had formed decided opinions of their own.  These were expressed in well-chosen language showing individual characteristics.  All were earnest and spoke as though from conviction.  They were handicapped by being limited in time, for no sooner did some of the best speakers get warmed up till the gavel of the president was heard, but this has its lessons in helping to think quickly and to speak to the point at once.  Caleb Sickles, Edward Rogers and Corbett Lawyer were appointed Judges, who, after due deliberation decided that the negative had produced the best argument.

     THE WEDDING.
        -------
  Annie Gesis looked very pretty in her gown of Organdie white and floral decorations as she stood before the minister, in the midst of a small company of guests, to take the vows which made her the wife of Bemus Pierce, last Thursday evening, in the Susan Longstreth Society Hall.
  And Bemus?
  He, too, was handsome in his erect bigness, dressed in plain black suit with faultless fit.
  When the hour arrived, the groom came in unaccompanied, and took a position on one side of the central floral decorations.
  It was a trying moment for a man who has made himself conspicuous all through his school life for his retiring modesty, but as at times when on the football field his metal was the reserve power that made him equal to almost any emergency, so in this, one of the most trying moments of his life, this same metal proved sufficient to keep him, to all outward appearances, self-possessed and dignified, if a little pale.
  When Miss Senseney took her place at the piano and began to play Mendelssohn's Wedding March, the stately tread of the bride and her attendants, as they came slowly down the long hall was heard, and every eye turned toward the door in eager expectancy.
  Little Grace Khy and Esanetuck dressed in white gowns and pink sashes, entered first, scattering flowers on the way.
  Then came Major Pratt with the bride, whom he was to give away, upon his arm.
  Hawley Pierce and Melinda Metoxen were next, followed by Artie Miller and Luzenia Tibbetts, the bridesmaids dressed in white, and the grooms in becoming suits of dark.
  Reverend Alexander McMillan, Rector of St. John's, performed the impressive ceremony of the Episcopalian Church.
  The usual congratulations followed, and refreshments had their accustomed place.
  The bride's cake, which was a large and handsome one was brought to the front, and the bride with a skill and coolness that was most becoming apportioned it to the guests, each of whom was eager to get a small piece to dream over.
  The company numbered about seventy-five special friends.
  Mr. and Mrs. Pierce took the nine o'clock train for Irving, New York, where Mr. Pierce has a home of his own and a farm which he intends to cultivate.
  The Man-on-the-band-stand does not believe that the happy couple can ever forget the moment of departure from old Carlisle.
  The band was out in full force and playing stirring airs; the school swarmed about the Herdic coach, which had been secretly decorated with all sorts of curious things for "luck," and the old shoes and rice were sufficiently manifest to make the occasion memorable.
  Each one in the jolly crowd that was left behind seemed anxious to do his and her part to show good feeling and that we as a school wished the newly married couple joy and happiness in great abundance.
  Bemus Pierce, of the Seneca tribe, New York, has attained a national reputation as Captain and right guard of our football team. He attended school here for some time, then took a responsible position in our boiler room which he has held for several years.  In the capacity as workman and as a football player as well as socially he will be greatly missed.
  Annie Gesis, of the White Earth Agency, Minnesota, Chippewa, graduated this year, and during her school period has had considerable experience as pupil teacher in the Normal Department.  She is a very popular girl and greatly beloved by her little pupils as well as her school mates and friends, all of whom miss her.

      Miss Barclay.

  The school as a whole and her special friends in particular were stricken with grief on last Saturday morning when word was passed in sorrowful undertone, that Miss Barclay is dead.  Miss Bessie Barclay came to us in the Fall of '97, from Washington, D.C., and had been teaching among the Winnebago Indians of Nebraska for a time.
  She was never vigorous in health, but grew stronger for a while.
  A few weeks ago however, she was taken down with rheumatic and stomach trouble.  On last Friday evening there were hopes of her recovery, but before morning she passed quietly away, not having the vitality necessary to endure the suffering of weeks.
  Miss Barclay was a young lady of lovable character and possessed many friends at the school and in town.  She lived with her parents on North Hanover Street, they having come to Carlisle since their daughter became a teacher with us.  The impressive funeral services, on Tuesday, were held in the Episcopal church, and the casket was completely covered with flowers.  The pall bearers were Martin Wheelock, Edwin Smith, John Warren, Thadeus Redwater, Hawley Pierce and Frank Scott, students at the school.  Her remains were taken to Beaver, this State, for interment, that being the early home of the family.

  About forty candidates for the team commenced training Sept. 3rd, and owing to the warm weather only light work was done, such as falling on the ball, tackling the dummy and practicing starting.  As there are only five of last season's regular players and only three substitues left in school from last year's team, it can easily be seen that most of the candidates this season start in without any previous football experience whatever, and it is hard to tell this early in the season what the result will be.  It is fortunate that most of the heavy men of last season's team remain this year, because the new material is very light, and the chances are that the team will be even lighter than last year.
  Behind the line, Hudson, Seneca, Metoxen and Miller - all are gone, and these are the positions in which experience counts for much.  Roberts and Johnson, who were good substitutes last season, will help steady the new players back of the line, and it may be that from such men as Wilson Charles, James Miller, Frank Yarlot, Jesse Palmer, Kelley Lay, Decora, Cornelius and Howlingwolf - two or three halfbacks may be developed who will, later in the season do very creditable work.  It can hardly be expected, however, that new players, can in one season, equal such players as Seneca, Metoxen and Miller, who have had years of experience.
  In the line, the team looks fairly strong and it may be that enough good players can be develped so that Hawley Pierce can be spared from the line and be placed at fullback.  If this can be done without weakening the line too much, it will greatly strengthen the back field positions, as Pierce is a marvel at backing up the line on defense.
  Of the new men for the line, White and Dillon are doing fairly well at the guard positions, but both are too slow yet in starting with the ball and they are not aggressive enough.  They should put more vim and dash into their play if they want to get a position on the team.  Bowen is also playing guard, but is too slow and has the same faults as White and Dillon.
  For tackles, the new men are Whipple, Shelden and Walker, and so far, Walker is doing the better work.  It may be that when the other two have caught onto the game more, they will be good players as both seem to try to do their best.
  Williams and John Baine played on last season's second team, and should with hard work, make a good showing this season.
  Ends must necessarily be experienced players and sure tacklers; and although Capt. Rogers will fill one very satisfactorily, the available candidates for the other end and for substitutes, are rather scarce. Nelso Hare was substitute for Roger's end last year, and did good work.  For the present he will be placed on the opposite end from Rogers.  The place will be new to him, but he should learn to play it in good shape.
  Beaver who played fullback on the second team last year and made a good record for pluck and gameness, is trying for end, and with his speed and defensive qualities should develop into a good man for an end position.
  Charles Bender and Johnson Bradly are the new men trying for ends, and both show considerable promise of becoming valuable in time.  Showman also is playing end, and, if he can learn to tackle more surely, may do well there.
  Lubo is opposing Smith in center and is doing creditable work, but he needs more practice in passing the ball surely and steadily. 
  Ruiz and Blackchief do very well as quarterbacks, but their great handicap is in being so very light in weight. Ruiz, for a small man, does remarkably well and will be of much help in the practice.
  Newspapers and critics for the past few years have always talked abou the "Veteran Indian team" whenever Carlisle did well.  This year we have lost over half of the old team, and if we can only sustain the record we have made in past years, Carlisle will deserve, and no doubt get the credit that is due.
  Every player trying for the first team should put forth every effort to do his very best and should conscientiously carry out the instructions of the Captain and Coach.  There are so many vacant places on the team that competition will be lively and those desiring to get a place on the team must make up their minds to work very hard.
