Harvard defeated Carlisle on Saturday by the score of 29 to 0. Carlisle had not the variety of trick plays which it had last year and its line was too weak to admit of their being worked effectively. Only once did a trick play result in a considerable gain, when toward the end of the first half Johnson, on a double pass, carried the ball 20 yards around left end. The success of this play encouraged Carlisle to rush the ball to the 8 yard line, where time was called. Except for this the Harvard goal was never seriously threatened...
Marshall kicked off to Johnson, who ran the kick back 20 yards. Failing to gain, Palmer punted outside at the 50-yard line. Kernan made no gain, but Blagden made 8 yards through right tackle. Kernan and Ristine worked the tackles for short gains, bringing the ball to the 20-yard line whence McGrew, by steady bucking, carried it over for the first touchdown. Marshall caught the punt-out, but Carlisle blocked the kick for goal...
Marshall fumbled the next kickoff, but managed to gain 7 yards. Ristine went around left end for 15 yards, and Kernan followed by a plunge through left tackle for 10 yards. Kernan went around right end for 15 yards, and McGrew and Cutts each gained 4 yards. Cutts failed to gain on the next play, but McGrew made the distance. Carlisle got the ball on the next play for holding, but immediately lost it on a fumble. McGrew, Kernan and Ristine each made short gains, but Harvard was held on downs. Carlisle could not gain, so Palmer punted to Marshall...
...practice yesterday showed a slight improvement. The first eleven played more spiritedly and was able to gain repeatedly through the line, but fumbled considerably. The gains were, however, due to individual efforts rather than team play. In the preliminary work the linemen were given practice in tackling, warding off and dodging, while the ends and backs went through signal practice. Campbell was out and coached the men but did not play. Bowditch did light work only. He is getting into good condition and will be able to play next week. Randolph, Robinson, Sugden, Meier, J. T. Jones, and Wright...
Jones fumbled the kick off, but recovered the ball. Neither eleven was able to gain during the first few minutes, the ball remaining on the 30 yard line. Then Cutts gained five yards but Graydon fumbled on the next play and the second eleven secured the ball. Motley regained the ball on a fumble and advanced it 10 yards. Gains by Derby and Jones brought the ball to the middle of the field where Dodge got the ball on a fumble. Boyd punted to Marshall who ran the kick back 40 yards. Gains by Graydon and Derby brought the ball...
