Little Red Riding Harvard was paid a visit by a new kind of grandmother, a Princeton tiger thinly disguised beneath popular betting odds. "The better to eat you with, my dear," quoth the tiger, leaping out of the locker room and baring its chief fangs, Backs Slagle and Williams. No doughty woodsman bobbed up at the psychological moment to save the heroine and for a gruesome hour or so the sound of munching was heard on Soldiers' Field. At twilight, an autopsy was performed which revealed Harvard's condition as the most serious she has ever been in after...

On running back punts he was ineffective because he received practically no support in the way of interference...

The result was all the more unusual in that the New Jersey warriors were consigned to mediocrity by the "men in the street." One more proof of indomitable Tiger courage is set down in the Book of the Past, and it is to that spirit that Harvard pays deference...
