...scoring was equally divided between the two halves and all four of Harvard's touchdowns were made by straight, steady rushing. Carlisle's first score came as a surprise, for the Indians, not trying any of the open of trick end runs by which their play has been characterized in recent years, directed their attack on the weakened right side of Harvard's line, and carried the ball by short gains, practically unchecked, 40 yards in 13 plays. Carlisle's last touchdown would probably not have been scored but for a fumble which forced Harvard to punt. The pass...
...Yale football team defeated Columbia on Saturday 53 to 0 the largest score made by any Yale eleven in the past ten years. During the game 13 Yale substitutes were put in.

The only feature of the rest of the scrimmage was Nichols' run of 35 yards through the line. Just before time was called the first eleven scored a safety, as a result of two poor passes...
...meeting of the dormitory crew captains, last evening, it was decided that the inter-dormitory races should be bumping races, similar to those rowed at Oxford and Cambridge. The advantage of these races is that any number of boats can race, whereas in the regular straight-away races not more than four boats can row abreast. The object of the race is to bump the boat ahead. That boat is then out of the race and the successful crew is eligible to compete in the next race...
...Burr punted out to Brown's 40-yard line and, aided by a 20-yard quarterback run, Brown returned the ball to Harvard's 40-yard line. Adams then punted to Starr on the 12-yard line. From there Harvard carried the ball the length of the field by straight rushing. With Knowlton back Starr gained four yards around right end, and Wendell just made first down. Foster, Carr and Wendell each gained first downs, Wendell and Foster netting 16 yards in three plays. Wendell and Carr were then given the ball alternately for eight plays and advanced...
