...with Harvard elevens of the past few years in so far as it is weak in punting and drop-kicking and lacks the threat which Mahan was wont to provide. It also lacks the pristine ability to hold the ball and to shapter backfield defence. None the less, the Haughton system has realized fully upon the material with which it had to work, and has developed a good strong team out of green players who will be more formidable against Yale than they were against the Tigers. The game was neither thrilling nor spectacular. Yet it was interesting because...
...Haughton's problem was to beat a veteran cloven, familiar with Harvard's style of play, with an inexperienced eleven, having only a second-hand knowledge of Princeton's tactics. Tufts had beaten Tufts the following week, 3 to 0. On the strength of that record Princeton should have been the favorite.

...machine like this, a real product of the Haughton system of coaching, that will face Princeton this afternoon. The University football team has won six games and lost one, but the machine, developed after the check by Tufts, has yet to be defeated. The victory of the Medford team was undoubtedly due in great measure to the fact that it had prepared for many days for the contest with the University, while Coach Leary had not made any more than the usual preparations for a so-called "minor" college team. Tufts proved to be anything but a "minor" college eleven...
