...circle the ends for good gains. On the other hand, Carlisle was not greatly outplayed; when their team had the ball, advances as substantial as any made against Harvard this season were certain, but fumbles--and no team can lose the ball six times this way and expect to win--prevented every attempt to score. The play was interesting always and brought out many exciting runs, which culminated near the end of the game in one of 75 yards by Marshall through a broken field for a touchdown...
...Freshman football team will play Worcester Academy this afternoon at Worcester. As Worcester has a strong team this year, the Freshmen in order to win will have to play a stronger game than they have done before. In spite of the coaches' efforts, the same faults that characterized the play in the Andover game are still in evidence. The defense is slow and erratic and the attack is marred by frequent fumbling...
...Freshman football team will play the M. I. T. freshmen on Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock. The Freshmen have shown some improvement this week, and should win, but such costly fumbles as were made in yesterday's practice might change the result of the game. The probable line-up of the Freshmen will be as follows: r.e., Whitman; r.t., Carr; r.g., Pell; c., Sloane; l.g., Carrick; l.t., Paul; l.e., Wilder; q.b., Metcalf; l.h.b., Nichols; r.h.b., Hodges; f.b., Hogg...
...first two sets of the match were rather one-sided as Leonard and Warland showed themselves superior to their opponents in every part of the game, both men winning many points by their hard service and accurate placing. Lyon was erratic in the first two sets and did not seem to be able to return the swift balls of his opponents. His playing, however, improved in the third set which he and Bishop won by a score of 6-4. The fifth game of this set was very exciting and was marked by well-placed balls on both sides...
...University eleven had another hard contest Saturday in the game with Brown, and before over 15,000 spectators barely managed to win by the score of 6 to 0. Harvard assumed rushing tactics from the start, and about the middle of the first half, after Kernan, by a 40 yard run had carried the ball to the 5 yard line, made the one touchdown of the game. During the remainder of the play the nearest approach to a score was when Harvard had the ball within 16 yards of Brown's goal and was then held and forced...
