...long gains around the ends and through the left side of the line. The Yale line quickly braced, however, proving almost impregnable through the rest of the game. The whole team played with a spirit and unity that had been wanting in nearly all the preliminary games; and their attack was irresistable. One of the touchdowns was made by a brilliant 40-yard run by T. Jones after catching a punt, the remainder by consistent gains through the line and around the ends. The team surpassed all expectations, winning by a score...
...great line-smashing in the second, were especially noticeable. Captain Biglow was always the first to get through on the defense and was strong on the offensive. In the first half Princeton easily had everything its own way and scored two touchdowns, but in the second half the Yale attack was irresistable and the defense impregnable.

Ordinarily we should not call attention...
...attack of the University team showed great power. At times they were held by the second for short gains, but they were not once held for downs, and frequently broke through the second's line for substantial gains. Starr and Moore, ends on the second team, made some pretty tackles, but aside from their work the tackling was neither fierce nor low enough...
