...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 half, but after securing a touchdown in the second half resorted to Burr's slight advantage in punting, and returned nearly every kick...
...breaking up the play of a fast eleven. Both sets of linemen played exceptionally well, but Burr and Kersburg showed a great improvement, and Parker, Osborne, and Peirce held their positions very satisfactorily. Parker's passing was good and his weight and strength were of great advantage in the line. Fraser, who replaced him at centre in the second half, played a hard game. Wendell and Lincoln were the best men in rushing the ball, and also were very strong in the secondary defense, but in rushing the ball, Lockwood seemed unable to take advantage of his own speed...
...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...
Although neither eleven scored in the first half the 30 minutes of play was intensely interesting due to Carlisle's two attempts for goals from the field and to Mount Pleasant's punts, one of which went over Harvard's goal line for a touchback. Newhall caught Mount Pleasant's kick off on the 20-yard line and ran back 13 yards. Lockwood lost eight yards in the first rush, and Burr punted, the ball going out of bounds near the middle of the field. After two short rushes Mount Pleasant returned the punt to Starr, who was downed...
...exchange of punts gave Carlisle the ball on the 46-yard line, and Mount Pleasant again punted, the ball going over Newball's head in the backfield. Captain Exendine nearly secured the ball in the scramble which followed, but Newhall finally downed it for a touchback. Two attempts were made to rush the ball after the kick-out, after which, with the ball on the 37-yard line, Libby tried a drop kick which fell short, but the ball rolled over the line for a touchback. Burr punted out, and Carlisle at once lost the ball on an onside kick...
