Pretty likely a shot of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlisle_Indian_Industrial_School "The so-called “noble experiment” was a failed attempt to forcibly assimilate Native American children into the culture of the United States. The United States Army War College now occupies the site of the former school."

Thanks! We'll add the information to the source data and reload the description.

Although not a college, the Carlisle (PA) Indian Industrial School had a football team from 1895 until 1917, and occasionally played the "Big Three" college football teams of that era -- Harvard, Yale and Princeton -- as well as Pennsylvania. The "Indians" never beat Yale or Princeton, but they were victorious over Harvard once or twice, and several times conquered Penn.

Wikipedia has this person: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodchuck_Welmas "Philip J. Welmas was the name of a Native American professional football player in the early National Football League. He played in 4 games with the Oorang Indians for the 1923 season. He ended his professional career after the Indians disbanded in 1923. Woodchuck attended college and played college football at the Carlisle Indian School located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania."

Edward Vielmetti: Thanks. We'll include some of this info. in the record next time we update.
