...heavy as Pennsylvania's, the men showed none of the clumsiness which sometimes mars the work of a heavy team. The steadiness and the unusual speed with which the entire eleven plunged into the plays were the principal causes of Harvard's victory. This offset the Pennsylvania attack, and when that was done the team gained its opportunity to win. Here again, in the attack, quickness was the essential feature. The interference was not very smooth, it was not especially steady and was not strong, but the speed and the vigor with which the plays started was sufficient to make...
...practicable and seemed to know just when it was advisable to leave it. His running was fast and heady, and made him the greatest ground gainer of the day. Captain Daly was more effective than usual in spite of two misplays. Through his judgment Harvard's attack was distributed in such a way as to take the most advantage of Pennsylvania's weak spots.

In all-round team play the Carlisle eleven showed superiority over Harvard until several of the best Carlisle players were...
...second number of the Republican appears to-day. It contains letters from Secretary Long '57, Senator Chandler and F. W. Dallinger '93. The leading editorial is an attack on the Democrat, claiming misrepresentation of President Eliot's opinions on the campaign issues...
