...work and Captain Talbott is once more on the field. He expects to resume his position at left tackle today. Stillman and LeGore took a rest yesterday and Ainsworth was shifted to the second team, Waite taking his place at left halfback. The team is following the ball much better than it did last week and its line work has also improved...
Princeton fought desperately in the second half and carried the ball to the opponents' 1 yard line, but here the Williams defence stiffened, and Trenkman, who was given the ball in the final attempt to score, was thrown back for a loss of three yards. It was not until the end of the last quarter, when Princeton recovered a Williams' fumble on the latter's 16-yard line, that her backfield had the power to push the ball across the line for a touchdown.

Two fumbles were taken advantage of in the first half both resulting in touchdowns, and Tippetts, a substitute, kicked a pretty goal over from the 40-yard line; this ended the scoring for Princeton. Dartmouth, seemingly decisively...
