The Carlisle team is considerably lighter than last year, and correspondingly faster, circumstances which should materially increase then gaining power if they can keep possession of the ball. So far this season Carlisle has been beaten but once, losing to the Pennsylvania State College eleven, 4 to 0.

Hall, who was taken out of the game on account of an injury to his hip, which will keep him out of the game for a few weeks, played a very steady game. Taylor, who replaced Hall at quarterback in the second half, showed up remarkably well for his first game on a University team. For the rest of the backfield Lockwood, Foster, Lincoln and Wendell were steady ground...
