...remainder of the game was merely a contest of rushing on the part of the Harvard men and of kicking on the Wesleyan side. During this period Harvard manged to score twice more on touchdowns by Dunlop and Sargent. Captain Wrightington went to Princeton to see the Princeton and Carlisle Indian game. During his absence Beale ran the team...
...York during the Christmas vacation. To match our record during the years since the institution of this tournament-second in '92 and '93, first in '94 and '95-it is of prime importance that all who know the moves should enter. The result of this year's contest is particularly doubtful, inasmuch as Columbia, Princeton and Yale will all have strong teams. And Harvard's chances are from the present outlook pretty slender unless new players appear, especially from the incoming class...

Brokaw '97 is playing Cochran's place, and is doing the best work he has ever done. He will give Thompson a close contest when Captain Cochran returns to his place. On the whole, however, the line is likely to be considerably weaker than it was last year, and Galley, at centre, is about the only star among the forwards...

Paine was more effective than his rival, but did not have particularly good control and was rather erratic in his fielding during the early part of the game. In the first inning he gave two bases on balls and made a wild pitch and a wild throw to first. These errors, with two sacrifice hits, gave Princeton a lead which Harvard could not overcome. From this point until the tenth inning Paine's pitching was faultless...
