Harvard made the first touchdown at the very beginning of the game, having won a free kick from a touchback and regained the ball on a fumble at the middle of the field. Gilbert carried the ball over after a run to the 10-yard line and two rushes. Brown kicked the goal. During the rest of the half an open game was played, and the ball remained chiefly in Cushing's territory...
...Indians did not show as much ability and skill in the use of the forward pass and the onside kick as was expected, for they did not try the forward pass at all, and attempted the onside kick only five times, each time unsuccessfully. Harvard on the other hand used several trick plays with success, including forward passes, onside kicks, fake kicks, cross bucks, and backward passes. Carlisle seldom rushed the ball, but instead depended upon Mount Pleasant's excellent punting to keep the ball away from their goal line. The University team rushed a great deal in the first...
...Captain Exendine at right end, Mount Pleasant at left half- back. Libby at quarterback, and Gardner at left end played the best game. Mount Pleasant's punting seemed to be the mainstay of the Indian team. The eleven lost its two chances to score when Libby missed a drop kick on the 37-yard line and a goal from placement after a fair catch in the middle of the field...

Much time has also been spent in teaching the men how to prevent the successful use of these two plays by opponents. In the game today Captain Foster will fill the position of left halfback, and for this reason the secondary defense should be much stronger than it was in the Brown game a week...
...Sophomores kicked off to the Seniors' 20-yard line. After a short gain the Seniors punted and the ball was caught by Kelly in the centre of the field. He made a 20-yard run, but the Seniors regained the ball on downs. By straight rushes they advanced into Sophomores were penalized for off-side plays. The Seniors were checked on the 10-yard line, but gained first down, and pushed Burns over for a touchdown. He failed to kick the goal. For the rest of the half neither goal-line was threatened...
