...that time forward Princeton raised the score in a remarkable manner. At only one point in the game did Princeton lose confidence; after Harvard had made her first lucky touchdown five minutes after play began she came up to the game with renewed vigor, and proceeded to rush the ball down behind Harvard's goal for a touchdown; after Trafford's goal from the field the Princeton men went at the play again with a rush, and soon had Harvard's score headed by one point. At this time, however, Harvard began playing a much stronger game...

Princeton took the play and brought the game to the middle of the field. Ames and Trafford kicked back and forth, and Channing and Cowan advanced the ball by short rushes through Harvard's line. Ames ran fifteen yards around the end and the game was brought to Harvard's twenty-five yard line. Ames caught Trafford's punt and the ball was returned across Harvard's line and Saxe was forced to touch...
