...game was replete with sensational runs, forward passes and onside kicks, and all the touchdowns were made as a direct result of one or more of these open plays. The longest run was of 75 yards by Mt. Pleasant, the Carlisle quarterback. His interference opened up a lane through the midst of the Harvard team and through this he ran for a touchdown. Throughout the game his playing was remarkable. His generalship was excellent and in the backfield he ran back punts and kickoffs for long gains.

It has become a custom in many athletic contests to give small tokens to winners, and in most cases the prizes are not coveted for themselves, but merely as reminders of a pleasant experience. These cups will also lend more dignity to the eleven best men on the team, who have sometimes, within the memory of men still in College, been lost to view in the multitude of substitutes to whom numerals have been awarded. The men to whose generosity this gift...
