While Harvard was beating Yale by many touchdowns in the years just before the way Harvard was lucky to beat Princeton on more than one occasion. Of these pre-war games the 1911 defeat was one of the most exciting games ever played. The Harvard team was lined up on the right side of the field planning a drop-kick but failed to protect the drop-kicker, Paul Hollister '14, sufficiently, and Hart, Princeton's captain-end, who was playing with a broken neck, blocked the kick.

Princeton beat Swarthmore Saturday by four touchdowns, playing well within itself. Slagle and Williams, two of the hardest backs to stop in the east, have not yet made their appearance in the Tiger lineup and Caulkins, a stellar quarterback, played his first game Saturday after a prolonged lay-off from injuries.
