...Wesselhoeft took the ball from Mason's kick and by a pretty run carried it over Princeton's line. The referee, however, decided no touchdown, as one of the Harvard men was "off side." Immediately Princeton got the ball, and taking advantage of the wind managed to kick it almost to our goal line. In the excitement our half-back, Coolidge, fumbled the ball, and Haxall securing it slid over the line and scored a touchdown for Princeton.

It would be an easy matter for them to combine, and if Jarvis field cannot be fenced in, inclose Holmes field. A covered grand-stand is almost a neccessity, and the benefit to be derived from such a measure, both pecuniarily and in the increased interest that would result, is inestimable. As matters now stand, fully half the spectators at any game witness it free of charge." If the Clipper will have patience, Harvard hopes to see these...
