Although Harvard has defeated Carlisle nine times in sucession, the score last year being 23 to 11, this game is never considered an easy one. This year the contest will be an unusually hard one on account of the versatility and skill of the Indian eleven in the use of the new plays. 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...
Twenty-three crews in all making a total of 184 men, rowed during a period of three weeks. Of this number fully one-half were green material and many had never been in a shell before. No regular training rules were enforced, but some of the crews trained on their own account. With this small amount of practice and the inevitable irregularity of attendance the development of the crews is very creditable, both to the coaches...
...Saturday's race, despite the sluggish tide, covered the one and three-eight's mile course in the excellent time of seven minutes, nine and four-fifths seconds.

Claverly gradually pulled away from Randolph and finished in good form. For a while, Westmorly kept up with Randolph, but in the last half of the course they fell behind. Dunster made a poor start and never made up the distance thus lost...
...their distance. On the defensive the work was by far the best yet shown in practice, for in a 15-minute period of supplementary scrimmage, after the real game, the second eleven was allowed to keep game, the second eleven was allowed to keep possession of the ball, and never succeeded in gaining 10 yards in three downs. In this part of the game Osborne showed up particularly well, often breaking through the second eleven's line and stopping the runner almost before he could get started. Burr's punting was excellent, but the passes were extremely poor, a circumstance...
