...Indian game the University team put up the best fight of the season, winning by the score of 5 to 0. Although Captain Foster was unable to play the secondary defense was very strong. The work of Newhall and Starr in handling the numerous punts in the back field was excellent. Starr's work at end in this game was particularly good.

Kennard replaced Macdonald at left end. The game closed with the ball in Carlisle's possession on their own 36-yard line...
