Carlisle Indians Start Strong Against Albright in First Look
Carlisle Indians impressed observers as Glenn Warner’s 1913 model showed latent strength in mud slow play. Calac and Guyon shone as potential Thorpe successors with Calac excelling in plunges and kicking while Mount Pleasant-like Goes back ran quarterback duties with Kelsey as a fast end. Albright, despite losing 25 to 9, competed well and limited the Indians’ early-season scoring. Maine fared poorly against Harvard, with New England critics deeming Orono’s squad among the weakest seen, following a 6 to 0 victory over Boston College.
