...beginning of the first half, Princeton had slightly the better of it, but Columbia took a brace and by steady attacks on the line and magnificent hurdling forced the ball to Princeton's two yard line. Morley was then pushed through for a touchdown and Bruce kicked goal...
...Shysters won the final game in the scrub football series yesterday, defeating the Whistle B's by the score of 22 to 0. Both teams fumbled considerably, but the Shysters showed better team work and speed, and had little trouble in winning.

It was only when running with the ball and tackling at the ends that Hare showed his superiority, for Harvard gained through Hare as easily as Pennsylvania gained through Barnard...

This strength was shown in stopping the guards-back formation of the second eleven, which was used very often during the game. The best individual work was the brilliant running of Sawin and Gierasch. Both did some clever and effective dodging and followed their interference carefully...
