...Grounds at Hoboken. The weather was admirable, with the exception of a strong wind, blowing lengthwise of the field, from the south. Game was called soon after three o'clock. Princeton won the toss, and took the south side, in order to get the advantage of the wind. Warren kicked off for Harvard, and the ball was soon forced near to Harvard's goal. Harvard was then obliged to touch down several times, for safety. The two Cushings, and Morse, of Harvard, and McNair, of Princeton, made several fine plays.
