The other touchdowns came on straight line rushing from simple formations. Brickley's lone drop kick was made from the 25-yard line.

Eighteen forward passes were attempted, of which half were successful. Drop-kicks by Tibbott also netted Princeton several points. The backfield showed up well, and Captain Ballin was preeminent among his staunch colleagues...
