...point should be taken into consideration in coming to any conclusion on the merits of the team as the result of the game. Carlisle was by no means up to the standard expected, judged by their last few games, and the line in particular showed weaknesses which were soon discovered. The one glaring weakness of the University team was its inability to keep within the rules in blocking and interfering. Penalties aggregating 120 yards were inflicted on Harvard for offences of various natures and one touchdown was undoubtedly lost through infringement of the rules...
...Harvard was fast and aggressive both on defence and offence, and would have scored on further occasions had it not been for penalties. The Indians were at no time dangerous, and lost their best chance to score when Thorpe's place-kick was blocked on Harvard's 28-yard line. There were only three times when Carlisle got within the 30-yard line. Two of the touchdowns came in the first half. Cutler caught a punt on Harvard's 35-yard line. Browne made nine yards through right tackle, and a series of line plunges brought the ball...
Constantly aggressive, and for the greater part of the time in their opponents' territory, the University team should have scored again. Three times Harvard reached the Indians' 5-yard line only to be put back, twice for off-side work and once for holding. The 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...
...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...
...outset, Balenti kicked off to Corbett, who ran the ball back to the 18-yard line. Carlisle was penalized five yards for off-side play. Corbett was thrown for loss, and 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...
