...Carlisle team was weaker in every way than it has been for five years. Besides a lack of weight and strength this team had no brilliant players like Hudson, Metoxen and the Pierces; so the large score by no means shows any remarkable strength in the Harvard team...
...points to Harvard's 22. As this year's team has met no strong opponent, it is impossible to estimate its ability. Of last year's team only four men, the left side of the line and the centre, are left. Most of the stars, including Hudson, Pierce, Metoxen, Senees, and Miller, have graduated from the school. Though the new men are said to have developed rapidly, their lack of experience in hard games will count against them considerably, so that it is safe to say that the team is not as strong as it was last year.

Campbell and Hallowell played fast football, and the latter was invaluable for his punting. Fumbling was the striking weakness in Harvard's game. Gierasch worked hard, but did not prove as brilliant a runner as was expected and his fumble was as costly as it was inexcusable. Ellis was the only back upon whom reliance could be placed at all times...
...were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian centre, and soon sent Ellis across the line for a touchdown. Lawrence missed the goal. During the rest of the half, the ball changed hands often. Once Metoxen broke through Lawrence for 40-yards, but was downed by Daly. Many tricks were tried by both teams but few were successful...
