...This ticket is by way of the Federal Express, which is a through train to Washington via Poughkeepsic.

The new structure will be erected and ready for use in eight months...

Both teams played safe, few tricks or end formations being tried. Princeton absolutely abandoned the forward pass. Yale used the pass several times with but little success...
