...this level and in the same competitive frame of mind as on Saturday? Was that merely one of those inexplicable flashes of ability when men do better than they know, better even than those best informed are prepared to look for, or was it an indication of what to expect in the two remaining games...
...have come to expect almost anything in the line of ingenious football from the Carlisle team. The memorable day of a few years back when one of the braves tucked the ball under the back of his sweater and ran the length of the field for a touchdown on the kick-off to the utter stupefaction of the University team, showed of what they are capable.

If hard, lively work will bring victories, no fears need be entertained for this year's team. It is beyond the memory of the present board when a scrimmage has been held during the week of over an hour with only five minutes intermission as was the case last Tuesday. The results of this strenuous work should be apparent today...
