...sailed over the bar, but the referee decided no goal, owing to bad tackling. Soon after Princeton was forced to make a safety, and for some time the ball hovered about her goal until Twombly made a magnificent run and passed the ball to Buck, who scored the first touchdown directly under the bar; amidst loud cheers Richards kicked a goal...
...turn had the advantage of the wind, and by the good kicking of Richards the ball was soon forced near the Princeton goal. After several brilliant rushes by Hull, and in spite of the dogged resistance of Princeton, Tompkins carried the ball over the line and scored the second touchdown for Yale, from which Richards kicked the second goal.

The Exonian's charges against Mr. Eaton are serious, unless they can be refuted...
