...Carlisle had not the variety of trick plays which it had last year and its line was too weak to admit of their being worked effectively. Only once did a trick play result in a considerable gain, when toward the end of the first half Johnson, on a double pass, carried the ball 20 yards around left end. The success of this play encouraged Carlisle to rush the ball to the 8 yard line, where time was called. Except for this the Harvard goal was never seriously threatened...
...well, breaking through the line and dragging the plays along. Barnard against Wheelook was especially capable and played with considerable spirit. Clark was quick to recover fumbles, but was slow in getting down the field. He defended his end well except when he allowed himself to be boxed on Johnson's run for 20 yards. Campbell prevented gains around his end, but was not always able to get Hare out of the way. He ran down quickly on punts, but did not tackle surely. Motley played with spirit, getting under the plays and tackling the runners accurately. Marshall at quarterback...
Marshall kicked off to Johnson, who ran the kick back 20 yards. Failing to gain, Palmer punted outside at the 50-yard line. Kernan made no gain, but Blagden made 8 yards through right tackle. Kernan and Ristine worked the tackles for short gains, bringing the ball to the 20-yard line whence McGrew, by steady bucking, carried it over for the first touchdown. Marshall caught the punt-out, but Carlisle blocked the kick for goal...
Carlisle's kick-off went over the line. Johnson ran back Kernan's free kick 15 yards, and on the next play, through a double pass, went around left end for 20 yards. Shor gains through the line by Yarlott, Leroy and Beaver brought the ball to the 8-yard line, where time was called...
...steady and reliable that he has a good chance of holding right tackle. His weight is also in his favor. Goss, who has played steadily at left tackle, was very weak in the Bates game, and as he failed to improve, he has been replaced by Johnson. Johnson will probably keep the place as he weighs over two hundred pounds and is very active. Wilhelmi who has replaced Hart at left halfback, is not fast enough to hold the position, so the change is only temporary. The team as it now stands shows weak spots at both tackles and right...
