...rushers could make it down. In marked contrast to this was the lack of union in the play of Harvard. A Harvard rusher in making a run was seldom backed up by anyone, and a very little passing was attempted. The tackling of the Princeton team was low and hard, but the light weight of the men sometimes prevented the immediate stopping of the rushers. Lamar, Baker and Kimball made some good runs for Princeton, Lamar especially showing himself a fine dodger. Harvard failed to fall on the ball well, and often lost it by a slipping under...
...touchdown for Harvard. Neither side made a safety The eleven is shown to be the weakest in the tends. By failing to play their points well they disconcert and discourage the forward. But the question arises : "What are you going to do about it?" Captain Appleton works as hard as any man can. The Harvard eleven has needed a trainer from the beginning. Coaching at this late day could be expected to do some good, but it cannot make champions. Interest in the Yale game will not flag much, for the rush line is strong still...
...good physical condition of the Princeton team in their recent game with us was very noticeable.

The undergraduates drank and ate out of pewter, an arrangement which saved breakage, and had the additional...
...Yale. A good stop and touch-down by Peters gave them another. The Columbia men worked together in better style in this half, and made several fine plays; but a Yale man was always on hand to prevent their reaching the goal. The New Haveners had to fight hard for the third goal, but the fourth, fifth and sixth followed each other in rapid succession. Just as it was beginning to grow dusk a fine run by Twombley gave them the eighth and a moment after the game was closed. The Yale team are a well-knit...
