...Harvard eleven won from the Carlisle Indians, Saturday on Soldiers Field, by the unexpectedly large score of 23 to 0. The game was not a remarkable exhibition of good football, but the many sensational runs and the brilliant individual work certainly made it interesting to watch. As for being a well-contested game, it was a foregone conclusion, after Harvard's first touchdown, that time only could determine the size of the score.

Only one touchdown was scored, and that by the first eleven on straight rushes...

Although Blagden often won on his swift service and hard drives from the back court, Warland was generally steadier and superior at the net. After the first set, in which both players were somewhat erratic. Blagden settled down and easily won the second, 6-2. Warland then quickly took the third set at 6-2. In the fourth set, which was by far the hardest, the playing was excellent on both sides, but Blagden by forcing the game with the score 3-1 against...
