Burr kicked off over the goal line, but Mt. Pleasant chose to run the ball out and he reached the 27-yard line before being downed. Four plays carried the ball to Carlisle's 50-yard line, from where a penalty set them back 20 yards. Hendricks gained 15 yards, and after an exchange of punts, Carlisle was again penalized. A five-yard gain was followed by a 10-yard loss and then Mt. Pleasant punted to Newhall, who ran back to Carlisle's 45-yard line. An onside kick was recovered by Grant almost on the goal line...
...mass meeting Tuesday, as well as "Cambridge Town," "No Hope for Yale," and "The Spirit of Harvard," which did not receive a fair trial at the last mass meeting owing to the band's lack of practice.

Since the professional baseball season terminated, a larger proportion of those who watch football practice are of the type known in baseball lore as "fans." Another unnecessary faction is the younger set of Cambridge and Boston uncertainties popularly known as "muckers." This decidedly extra-University element has certainly developed undesirable proportions. Theoretically there is no objection to orderly visitors who desire to watch our practice, but the unpleasant evidences of the tobacco chewing habit left in the Stadium by the older enthusiasts, and the utter disregard of the younger element for the rights of others, make their presence a nuisance...
