...game which was satisfactory and even brilliant in many departments of football, and one which was hotly contested throughout, Harvard defeated the Carlisle Indians on Saturday, twenty-two to ten. Except for permitting the touchdown, which was made by the Indians on a fumble in the first minutes' play, the Harvard team exceeded general expectations and rolled up a good score against opponents of great reputation for strength. On the offensive Harvard was much stronger than the Indians, and was rarely held for downs. The defense, as was expected, kept the ball so far from the goal line that Hudson...
...Indians' defense was decidedly strong, owing to the vigorous and low tackling of all of the line-men. Except on one or two well-executed trick-plays, the Harvard backs were totally unable to gain around the ends, and had to depend upon line-plays. The most successful play for Carlisle was a mass formation outside of tackle, which completely overpowered the substitute tackles in the second half and made uninterrupted gains, especially through Swain...
Succeeding the next kick-off, both sides fumbled continually. After an exchange of kicks to Harvard's favor and an off-side play by Carlisle, Ellis rushed the ball to the Indian's 20-yard line on a fake kick, and by successful line-plunges, carried it to the five yard line. Here Carlisle held for two downs when Daly scored on a clever criss-cross, and Lawrence kicked the goal. Soon after the kick-off the Indians were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian...
...doubles, Rockwell and Bidwell defeated Bingham and Roche, 7-5, 6-4, in a match in which Bidwell was the only man to play a steady game. Bingham and Roche, who were clearly outclassed, made a close fight for the match by playing at Rockwell. The finals in doubles will probably be played next week...
...hill fight against adverse conditions, but this year they have grasped the finer points of football and are particularly strong. No defense, however, that they can employ should prevent Harvard from scoring, for reliance can be placed not only upon the end interference, but also upon the plays through the line, especially with Kendall and Ellis playing. With his long punts, Hallowell should equal Hudson in kicking. Skilful as the latter is in kicking goals from the field, his eleven must first rush the ball at least to Harvard's 30-yard line before he can have the opportunity. Harvard...
