...Winsor to Holden. This brilliant play saves a run. Tyng, for Harvard, goes out on a fly to right-field; Ernst reaches first base on a missed third-strike; Wright steps up to bat, and earns two bases on a long liner out to left field, bringing Ernst home, amidst great excitement. Winsor gets to second by an error of centre-field; and a base-hit will give two more runs; unfortunately Olmstead and Nunn both go out on fouls. Score, Yale 4, Harvard 1. There is a slight hope for the crimson...

Captain Cushing attempted to kick it over the goal, but failed, amidst shouts of joy by the supporters of Princeton. Soon after, the referee called time, and both teams retired to rest awhile before the next three-quarters began...
...about fifteen minutes game was again called, sides having been changed. The Princeton men were evidently working hard, and the ball was kept constantly about the centre of the field. In fifteen minutes Cushing, '79, got a touch-down from a fine kick by Seamans, and the latter, amidst many cheers, kicked the goal. Sides were again changed, and the game resumed.
