...will open with the formation, on the Army side of the field facing the Harvard stands, of a line of dignitaries. These notables will be headed by Governor Ely of Massachusetts and will include many prominent figures of the State and Nation. While they are taking their places, a brilliant parade of color guards will enter the Stadium through the portal under the steel stands and take up a position on the Harvard side facing the dignitaries...

In that period and the next, Princeton's linemen charged and blocked so fiercely that a flashy 153-lb. sophomore halfback named Garry Le Van easily made two more touchdowns, one of them by running back a punt 45 yd. behind brilliant interference. In the second half Columbia dug in courageously as if it were winning, refused to let Princeton score again...
