...played on the Princeton football team this year, the following will be in college next year: Pell '02, left tackle; Mills '02, left guard; Hutchinson '02, quarterback; and McCord '02, left halfback. Palmer and Reiter are post graduate students and will probably not play again, and Edwards, Booth, Hillebrand, Poe and Wheeler are in the senior class. This leaves a nucleus of four men for the team next year. Losey '03, who played a strong game at centre for the freshmen, will be a promising candidate for the university team next year. Dana '03, a substitute on this year...
...this year's Freshman eleven, the possibilities of Graydon and Stillman must be considered. Captain Baldwin will make a good quarterback, with a chance for the first eleven when Daly leaves. Nickerson, tackle, and Clark, end, are both promising players. Hersey is a good running halfback, but has little idea of team play.

The line-up of the backs and ends for Saturday's game is still undecided. The practice will probably continue to be secret for the rest of the week...

The Yale team showed so much unexpected strength that his plan of attack required complete and constant changes some of which were open to slight criticism. Sawin was decidedly the best halfback in the game. He played in perfect accord with Daly, and clipped many yards off of McBride's punts by his clever, dodging runs. He made the longest gain of the day by a 33 yard run around Gibson in the first half. The end plays and double passes around...
