| Publisher Description: Other than for Jim Thorpe and Pop Warner, the Carlisle Indian School football teams are largely forgotten. Although these teams were legendary in their own time, they are now virtually unknown except to the most ardent football historians. The Indians' contributions to the game were substantial and deserve to be remembered today. Six Carlisle Indians have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame (not bad for a program that played its last game in 1917) and helped get Pop Warner, their coach, inducted as a charter member alongside Jim Thorpe. |
