Present indications are that today's game with the Carlisle Indians will be one of the hardest of Harvard's season. Every year the Indians have made an up-hill fight against adverse conditions, but this year they have grasped the finer points of football and are particularly strong. No defense, however, that they can employ should prevent Harvard from scoring, for reliance can be placed not only upon the end interference, but also upon the plays through the line, especially with Kendall and Ellis playing. With his long punts, Hallowell should equal Hudson in kicking. Skilful as the latter...
Harvard's chances for a second victory, which are very good, depend upon Hubbard and Averell. The latter has broken the record of the course with a score of 35, and Hubbard, who won the Newport championship two years ago, is very strong on match play. The first round will be played this morning, the semi-finals in the afternoon, and the final round, which is to be 36 holes, will be played on Saturday...
...kicks to the twenty-yard line, Gierasch carried it across the goal line behind well-formed interference. In the second half he scored again, this time from the middle of the field. Fincke's work at quarter was a great improvement, and his work in the interference was as strong as usual. Campbell's playing was good. Burnett missed a goal from the forty-yard line, besides making some poor passes...
...team. Overfield went from tackle to his old position at centre on Monday, where his three years of experience should make him more valuable to the team, then when at tackle. McCracken has been put at right halfback, where his experience in the guardsback formation makes him a strong runner and interferer. Stebie and Teas have taken Overfield's and McCracken's places at tackle and guard respectively, and Coombs and Reugenberg, once backs, are now the ends. The backfield has been much strengthened by Outland and McCracken, but the tackles are weak and the ends are uncertain...
...kicking game, and, as the second could not rush the ball back, soon carried it down the field for a touchdown. The 'Varsity scored one more touchdown soon after on brilliant running by Gierasch. Poor interference on the kick-off failed to carry the ball down the field. Strong defensive play by the second held the first for downs, but the guards-back formation could not gain. Exchanges of punts followed, and, one of Warren's kicks being blocked, Peyton secured the ball on the first eleven's twenty-five yard line. The guards-back plays worked well...
