...elevens. For the fumbling of kicks elemental conditions provided adequate excuse, but hands were inexcusably slivery in other cases. Both teams injured themselves through commission of faults calling for penalties. And the rivals indulged in some poor generalship. On the other hand, both teams produced a strong, if inconsistent, attack--which needed this game to make it better for future contests. The tackling was uniformly good and the interference well executed. Work of both sets of forwards was quite up to the accepted tenets of line play...
...built up merely by offering opposing teams chances to make errors and then profiting by them. Harvard committed three glaring errors on Saturday. But Princeton could not manufacture a score out of any one of the three. That only shows that Princeton is still deficient in a genuine winning attack. On Saturday holding in the line cost two 15-yard penalties at critical moments. A year ago fumbles twice ended what promised to be successful marches toward Harvard's goal line...

Little improvement was shown by the Yale eleven over the earlier games of the season. A week and inconsistent attack, together with a mediocre defence, was the undoing of the Yale machine, in spite of the fact that material for a strong eleven appeared available.

But in the second period, their offensive attack strengthened, and the University School's line was crossed four times. Horween and Church were each responsible for two of these scores. The latter scored his first touchdown by line plunging and the other on a 60-yard run around the end. Horween secured his scored by line plunges after straight marches down the field by the Freshman team. Hadley kicked three of the goals...
