Harvard plays Carlisle today on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock. Although the scores made by Carlisle this year do not indicate great strength, the game this afternoon should prove interesting, as Carlisle has always played well against Harvard. Carlisle has only five of last year's team left and one of these, Wheelock is the only star. The team is noticeably light this year, the centre weighing only 158 pounds, and the two ends 141 and 148 pounds. The entire line averages only 166 pounds. What the Carlisle team lacks in weight, however, it makes up in quickness and team play. It will probably resort largely to trick plays, and this will make the game interesting from a spectator's point of view.

Carlisle's record of games so far this season, is as follows: Gallaudet 19 to 5; Gettysburg 5 to 6; Dickinson 16 to 11; Bucknell 6 to 5; Haverford 29 to 0; Cernell 0 to 17.

The development of the Harvard team this year has been so erratic that it has been almost impossible to judge of its capabilities as a team, although individually the men show promise. The team will undoubtedly defeat Carlisle, but by how big a score depends on how much team-play is developed. In general the work of the team has been more effective on the defense than on the offense, and the men have shown ability to break up plays quickly. On the offense the line has been slow and uncertain, while the backs have been erratic in their playing. At times the interference has formed excellently and worked brilliantly, but for the most part it has been ragged. In kicking and getting down under punts the backs and ends have shown great ability. The most serious fault has been the lack of spirit and fight which has characterized the playing.

Campbell is playing a strong game this year, but has taken occasional slumps, as in the West Point game. Clark is active in the defense and takes care of his man well, but is slow in getting down on kicks. Blagden at left tackle is improving, but is still slow. Lee, for the short time he has been out, plays a hard game and gets into the interference well. Sargent is not as active and energetic as he might be. Barnard is strong and works hard, but lacks fight and is slow. Cutts plays bard and runs well, but does not always use good judgment. He is slow in starting with the ball. Marshall plays an accurate and active game, and is valuable in running back punts. McGrew does not hit the line hard enough and is slow in starting. Ristine does not follow his interference well. Kernan follows his interference well. Kernan follows his interference closely, runs with great speed, and strengthens the team by his good punting. The line-up: HARVARD.  CARLISLE.

PRACTICE YESTERDAY.

The work yesterday was light, consisting of practice in punting and catching kicks for the backs, and running down under kicks for the ends and linemen, followed by signal practice for fifteen minutes. After the signal practice the first eleven lined up against the second. The positions on the first were mostly filled by substitutes, and the second was able to score a touchdown on a tackles-back formation after a few minutes of play.
