Omitting all comments on the faults of Princeton's play, let us look upon its merits. First there was the machinelike play of the team as a whole aided by the efficient umpire, which was a pleasure to see. The backing up of the man with ball always enabled him to pass it when in a strait, and the warding off of opposing tacklers made his path easy. Much of this latter was unfair as it was off-side, but it was done with such system that the thoroughness of preparation required cannot but be admired. The intentness...
...CRIMSON, in its article on the team at the beginning of the season, claimed that we had this year promise of a better team than for some time past, but that there was no use in thinking for a moment of facing Yale or Painceton, unless our radical fault was overcome-high tackling.

The principal fault with Memorial now is the fact that all the applicants for board cannot be accommodated. End-men have been instituted at many of the tables, and still all who seek board cannot be admitted. This is to be regretted. When Memorial Hall was built, I doubt if the idea...
...superiority of Exeter, or this advantage would have been quickly taken by the academy boys without waiting until the last twenty minutes of the game, but to some weakening by our freshmen. This weakess was due to a lack of endurance from want of training, a fault for which at this late season of the fall there is no excuse...
