...ahead of Pennsylvania in the intercollegiate league last year, it is probable that the game will be no harder than that last Saturday, for Cornell has not played any games this year, and will be handicapped by lack of practice as well as by unfamiliarity with the floor. Several trick formations have been developed by Cornell...
...encouraging so far this year. In the scrimmage the first eleven gained long distances at almost every rush, and scored twice against the scrub. When the second eleven took the ball, no consistent gains could be made against the first, who held the scrub again and again for downs. Trick plays, with special reference to the Yale game, were tried against the first, who stopped them in almost every case successfully...

Since the Brown game two weeks ago, however, the development of the team has been very rapid. All the work of the season is of course directed toward producing the strongest possible eleven to meet Yale, and although much farther advanced than at this time last year, the team has not yet attained its greatest efficiency...
...scoring was equally divided between the two halves and all four of Harvard's touchdowns were made by straight, steady rushing. Carlisle's first score came as a surprise, for the Indians, not trying any of the open of trick end runs by which their play has been characterized in recent years, directed their attack on the weakened right side of Harvard's line, and carried the ball by short gains, practically unchecked, 40 yards in 13 plays.

The third touchdown was the result of a trick play, which netted 70 yards. In the second half Exeter made the last score by short rushes. None of the goals were kicked...
