  CARLISLE INDIANS SCORE ON HARVARD Crimson Made Rushing Attack and By Hard Work Ran Up Score of 23 to ii. Cambridge, Mass, November IA rush. ing attack enabled Harvard to make four touchdowns against the Carlisle Indians on Soldiers Field today, but the crim- son defense could not keep their oppo- nents from scoring twice. the final points being 9 to II. Harvard scored twice in each half. the first touchdown coming fin the first five minutes of play. The Indians made one touchdown in each half, the last one principally on a brilliant 65-yard run by Mount Pleasant In the gathering darkness. Harvard kept her plays well hidden. depending on B three-man tandem coming into the line usually with Brill. the tackle, at tho head. There was very little kicking. Pen alties were frequent, the Indians be- ing usually the sufferers. while Carlisle made five fumbles to one for Harvard. From tho Indian kickoff, Starr ran the ball back sixty yards to tho Indians 5O- yard line, the longest run in the game The tandem was immediately formed and aimed at the Carlisle right side In thir- teen downs Harvard pushed Paul over the line for the first score. Burr kicked tho goal. On the crimson kickoff, Archeunete ran the ball back for twenty eight yards and finally Dubois crossed the goal line. The punt was poor and no goal was att tempted. There was a splendid fight for the next five minutes, but at last Harvard captured the ball on the Indians 45-yard line and did not lose it until the goal line was crossed, Hurley having the honor. Burr kicked the goal The Indians seemed trifle weaker in the second half and Harvard secured two more by buclting the line. Then came the Indians second score. Little Mount Pleasant caught Harvard punt on his own 46-yard line and ran like deer to Harvard’s 10-yard line. In four downs Sheldon was pushed over for the last score of the game.

Twelve of these points came to the crimson in the first half and eleven in the second, while the redskins scored a touchdown in the first half and another In the second, succeeding in kicking the goal after the latter. Harvard was especially strong in offensive and defensive playing, while Carlisle was somewhat weak in defensive work, but tremendously strong in her offensive. In punting Burr did good work for Harvard, but. Mount Pleasant excelled for the Indians In fumbling Carlisle maintained her reputation.
