  "Frank Merriwell's Generalship, or, Beating the Carlisle Indians" 

   November 17, 1900  STREET AND SMITH Publishing.

   The Carlisle Indian School football team played Yale University's football team in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While Yale typically won these matchups, the games were often close, and Carlisle's performance was frequently praised for its strong play and sportsmanship. One notable game in 1896 resulted in a 12-6 Yale victory, with the Carlisle team reportedly robbed of a touchdown due to an officiating error according to The New York Times. 

  The Carlisle Indians football team represented the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in intercollegiate football competition. The program was active from 1893 until 1917, when it was discontinued. During the program's 25 years, the Indians compiled a 167–88–13 record and 0.647 winning percentage, which makes it the most successful defunct major college football program. During the early 20th century, Carlisle was a national football powerhouse, and regularly competed against other major programs such as the Ivy League schools. Several notable players and coaches were associated with the team, including Pop Warner and Jim Thorpe.
