Our men were literally caught napping, and Lamar was over the line and made a touchdown before he could be stopped. Hodge kicked a goal, the ball just grazing the top of the bar as it went over...
...Moffat and Willard then had one of their kicking matches without appreciable result. Princeton, unable to gain in this way, resorted to their superior passing and rushing and made much headway. Harvard was careless and tackled poorly again, so that a Princeton rusher was through them and scored another touchdown ere they knew it. Hodge kicked the fourth goal, making the score...

Harvard has paid but comparatively little attention to passing among the backs, each one playing an independent game, whereas the Princeton backs were always aiding one another when one had the ball. Harvard blocked and got through well, but the rushers did not always keep their minds...
