Realizing that the Princeton game is too near to take chances on injuring his men in scrimmage, Coach Fisher gave the University team a day of kicking practice, signal drill, and practice in the forward pass formations. For the first hour of practice, almost the entire team spent their time kicking long, high spirals, some of them kicking from the side lines, going over the top of the Stadium. Later the team went through a long signal drill which occupied the rest of the afternoon...
...strongest that has been seen this fall, but unless Princeton develops a line which is far stronger than it now is, it will have little chance against the towering Harvard line. It seems now that Princeton, like Centre, will have to resort to end runs and forward passes if it hopes to be victorious in the Stadium a week from Saturday...

At any rate, it seems that the Tiger eleven is pretty successful with this kind of attack. In the second quarter of the Navy game Lourie shot a forward pass of 38 yards to Davis; later he sent another beautifully accurate pass to Raymond for a gain of 15 yards, and several other times during the struggle he sent short heaves which invariably brought the necessary gains...
...opinion Captain Horween is a marvelous defensive player. The way he sized up some of our complicated trick forward passes was a surprise. He is a sure tackler, a good line plunger; a clever drop-kicker. When Owen, Churchill and Fitzgerald are in the backfield with him, it is a most formidable combination...

Hubbard form a sturdy bulwark from tackle to tackle, though Bradford's passing is far better than his line play. Holder particularly is an almost impassable barrier at tackle. The wingmen, L. C. Larrabee and W. N. Gates, are average ends, but have improved steadily...
