...received a stinging right hander square from the shoulder from one of Princeton's men. Several times a free fight seemed pending, the Princeton men losing their tempers at Yale's rough play. The grounds were very well laid out for the game, but the turf was slippery from recent rains, which may have accounted in a measure for Moffat's poor kicking, although he did get in one or two very serviceable long kicks, but generally he sent the ball twisting right up in the air. Richards of Yale fairly "downed" him in this respect...
...childhood has heard the name, "Americanisms" applied to certain words or phrases, and gradually everyone learns to feel that all expressions so stamped ought at least to be avoided if not suppressed.

Appleton played a remarkably plucky game in consideration of his recent severe illness, for it was only shortly before the game commenced that it seemed possible for him to play at all. The Yale team played an almost perfect game throughout, and several rushes of Terry's were the finest we have met this season. Twombly stood up to his work manfully...
...been stated that the recent action of the faculty in regard to the change of rules in foot-ball was largely due to outside pressure, and in this connection it is a significant fact that the two leading metropolitan dailies, the Times and the Tribune, have both taken a stand opposite to that taken by the faculty. We present below a passage clipped from an editorial in the former paper...
