...players was held yesterday afternoon after the usual stiff training work had been run off. Team A was given the ball in the center of the field and tried a series of line plays as a start-off, but Team B received the ball on downs. A successful forward pass took the ball well down the field, but a second pass was gathered in by a Team A man. The wind favored the first team in the kicking duel which now followed, and left Jenkins in a position to kick a field goal from the 23-yard line...
After the seconds, using Valparaiso formations had made a fresh start with the ball at midfield, Havemeyer and Churchill intercepted a pass and made first down on a 12-yard run, respectively. Here Brown picked up a loose ball and rushed to the 8-yard line, and a line buck by Gratwick carried the pigskin over for the second score...
...Princeton Saturday, Swarthmore went home satisfied, having crossed the Tiger line and being defeated by the highly respectable score of 17-6. Princeton exhibited far more open play than did either Yale or the University in its opening game.

The determination of an American foreign policy, the revision of tariff regulations, the solution of labor problems, the extent to which the government shall control public utilities, the difficulty of adjusting the prices of necessaries to the requirements of the citizenry, all at one time are up for consideration...
...touchdowns. Straight football again predominated; no more versatility on the offense was apparent than against Holy Cross; and Dr. Bull must have profited little more in watching Saturday's game than did Coach Jones at the Holy Cross struggle. Twice only the Crimson quarterbacks tried forward passes, Buell slipping off to the side to take a pass from Horween, and running 20 yards to the 10-yard stripe. The play succeeded rather in its unexpectedness than in any trickiness in its conception. Just before the game closed Stillman shot a pass over the line that grounded between Wharton and Wales...
