Every decade or so a class appears in College which is so far below its predecessors that it does not seem to belong to Harvard. It is perhaps too early to include the present Freshman class in this category, but its attitude toward the class team gives it a strong claim on this doubtful honor. All through the season there has been no apparent interest in the practice or games of the eleven, and last evening at the mass meeting less than one fourth of the class condescended to be present., Rumor has it that most of the class...

Carlisle had the science of interference down to perfection and their blocking off of Bird and Macdonald time and again was one cause of their frequent long runs around the ends...
