...fresh man White was pushed through centre across the Indians' line. The final touchdown was made after rushing the whole length of the field. Harvard held Carlisle for downs on the 2-yard line, and with the aid of a forty-eight-yard end run by Cutting, and a forward pass of sixteen yards to Fish, made another touchdown. White, who had been making steady gains, was substituted by Smith just before Leslie went across the line. MacKay kicked both goals...
...University team was splendid on the defence, blocking Thorpe's place-kick and allowing but little gain through the line. When the Indian team had rushed the ball to the 2-yard line, they were unable to gain again and lost the ball on downs. Both teams used the forward pass frequently. Harvard was particularly successful, while Carlisle failed on all but one. Cutler and Fish worked the pass to perfection and never failed to gain with it. The backfield is still weak in receiving kicks, and in the second half Cutler fumbled a punt from Thorpe...
...individual work, Fish and MacKay stood out in the line. Fish was always active and ran out the forward passes for good gains. MacKay broke through the Indian line on nearly every play, blocking kicks and breaking up interference. Crowley and Browne played well, Browne strengthening the backfield considerably on the defence. Cutler got his plays off smoothly and with good speed, but was slightly outpunted by Thorpe. The substitution of fresh men in the backfield at critical moments proved more than successful, Leslie, Smith and Ver Wiebe all doing well. White, Corbett and Leslie were the best ground gainers...
...Kennard punted to Belenti, who was downed on Harvard's 53-yard line. Hendricks failed to gain, and Thorpe punted to Browne on the 30-yard line. Cutler's punt went to Balenti, who ran back ten yards to the 50-yard line. The Indians here fumbled a forward pass, the ball going to Harvard. Carlisle was again penalized for off-side play, and the ball was advanced to the 40-yard line. Kennard's drop kick fell short. On the next play Kennard was put out of the game for unnecessary roughness, and the accompanying penalty gave Carlisle...
...kick-off rolled over the goal line to Corbett for a touchback. Cutler punted out to Thorpe on the 45-yard line. The first play netted eight yards, and Payne made first down at right tackle. A double pass finally went forward to Wauseuka for eleven yards' gain. Thorpe reached the 5-yard line on the next play, but a forward pass went wrong, putting the ball on the 25-yard line. Another attempted forward pass went into Browne's hands. A penalty put Harvard on the 1-yard line, and Cutler punted to Thorpe, who was thrown by Crowley...
