...first objection is not a sound one; anyone who was in the Stadium during the game and heard the spontaneous shout that arose from the Harvard rooters when the long pass was received must admit that everyone wants to know whether it was Crocker or Macomber who caught the ball. The fact that the newspapers-many of them-named the wrong man is not due to the individual ignorance of the men writing the stories. There is a representative of each team in the press box who announces the man with the ball after each play. That these...
Princeton's "flying interferer" fizzled comparison with its expected effective ness. A flying interferer can dash in fore the ball is put into play and Indians an unsuspecting tackle whose only thought is the play coming to meet him. By playing first the flying interferer...
...bolt from the blue. Shortly after the opening of the second half, Murrey dropped back into kick formation, as Lourie sped forward with an interferer at his side, not to turn until he reached up and snared Murrey's perfectly timed throw.

Lourie reversed his field, sped past Fitzgerald, outwitting this last cog in the University's defense, and zigzagging his way to the line...
...long afterward Keck launched his own personal 6-play offensive, when Owen's kick was blocked. The ball careened over to the other corner of the field, pursued by Legendre, Owen and another Wasp-leg. The latter duplicated the feat of Garrity in the Yale game last year when his interference made it possible for Scheerer to carry his recovered fumble for a touchdown. Legendre passed on and fell on the ball. Two plays afterwards, Garrity waded through a huge hole behind Keck, hurled himself on his neck and snuggled around the pigskin...
...came as a result of some capital line-plunging by Owen, his solo march up the field aided and abetted by two 15-yard penalties that could but take the growl out of the Tigers. Horween hurdled center for the score, one of the few times he handled the ball, due to injuries to neck and finger that placed him at an emphatic disadvantage that makes his exhibition the more to be respected. The last minute advance to the spectacular Buell Macomber score has been all but set to poetry in the last twenty-four hours. The neatness and dispatch...
