...given this fall. By greater weight and a few fairly good plays, however, the first team was able to score three touchdowns. The second eleven showed far more snap and aggressiveness and several times h d the ball within twenty yards of the first's goal line. Well executed trick plays were the means of a number of the second team's gains. The first eleven made most of their advances on plunges just outside of tackle...
Harvard defeated Carlisle on Saturday by the score of 29 to 0. 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.

It exists for the purpose of winning something, and therefore the undergraduate--not the coaches--wonders whether he may not contrive "trick plays" in his argument, whether he, too, cannot snap the ball back with double passes, and in his course work he comes to you with a brief in which he has tried carefully to conceal the large part of his case. When you object that the plan is, as a brief, inadequate, that...
