...game which was satisfactory and even brilliant in many departments of football, and one which was hotly contested throughout, Harvard defeated the Carlisle Indians on Saturday, twenty-two to ten. Except for permitting the touchdown, which was made by the Indians on a fumble in the first minutes' play, the Harvard team exceeded general expectations and rolled up a good score against opponents of great reputation for strength. On the offensive Harvard was much stronger than the Indians, and was rarely held for downs. The defense, as was expected, kept the ball so far from the goal line that Hudson...

...game between the Freshmen and St. Mark's at Southboro yesterday resulted in a tie, 5 to 5, each side missing the try for goal after the touchdowns. In the first half the Freshmen in less than five minutes scored by line plunges. During the rest of the half the Freshmen had a little the best of it, but were unable to score again, although Stillman barely missed a goal from the field. In the second half, St. Mark's gained repeatedly around Harvard's left end. On the five yard line, however, the Freshmen obtained possession of the ball...
