...play, Holden making his usual good rush. Here the Harvard rushers ran and passed well, but invariably lost the ball when thrown with it. The ball was now at Princeton's end of the field, near the 30-yard line, but Princeton breaks through on Porter, and Harvard loses fifteen yards. Holden gains a little ground, but Porter misses a poor pass, and Princeton gets the ball in the centre of the field. Runs by R. Hodge and Cowan carry it dangerously near Harvard's goal, and Princeton, although losing the ball on a fumble, immediately regains it, and Ames...
...first pages of this rare book contain papers relating to the semicentennial celebration of those who started the idea, and newspaper accounts of the meeting and dinner at which "fifteen of the eighteen surviving members of the class of 1788 were present." One of these was the famous Justice Story, whose autograph is given...

Porter then ran the ball to the fifteen yard line, which feat he followed up by kicking too far, sending the ball over Wesleyan's line. In the kick-out the ball went way down the field, Peabody muffing it, and it stopped only at our 25 yard line...
...week they have done nothing except come out on the field in a leisurely manner, look round a little while, and then go in again, perfectly satisfied with themselves. They ought to play every afternoon from three to four, against themselves, and then a picked eleven or fifteen ought to play the university from quarter of five to five. Yale does not loaf in any such was as our freshmen are now doing, and the experience of past years ought to have shown that our only hope of beating the Yale freshmen is by working morning, noon and night...
