...attack that Coach Horween's team really succumbed. Mishel and Randall took turns throwing the ball to each other, and each time it meant disaster for the Crimson. In the first quarter, after a short kick by French had given Brown the ball at midfield, the Bruins rushed it to Harvard's 19-yard mark, a 21-yard romp by Mishel being the feature of the march. Then Randall hurled the pigskin to Mishel for a first down on the 9-yard line. A triple pass gained a yard, and then Mishel tossed to Randall, who stepped over the line...
Stewart, substituting for McNear in the Princeton skirmish line, got the ball near midfield in the third period, and dodging several Crimson defense men, dribbled the spheroid down the sideline, and suddenly sent a aizzling shot at an acute angle that skidded past Thomas and into the Harvard not for the second Tiger score. Stewart later, in the fourth quarter, scored form a free kick, after Crooks had fouled by failing on the ball...

Brine's try for point went wide of the up rights...

Four yards by Miller and an offside penalty on Holy Cross made it first down at midfield. Putnam took a short pass from French on the next play and picked his way through a broken field for 20 yards. A couple of line smashes followed and then Miller went through the right side for 15 yards. Two more rushes and Miller went over for the first score...
