...colleges still stronger. It would have been unfair to award the championship to Yale on the strength of the Yale-Princeton game, for the weather, the condition of the ground and the darkness during the last half would not permit the strong points of either team to be brought out. At the same time, to stop the game twenty minutes before the full time had expired took away many chances, and perhaps a deciding touchdown. It would be difficult for an impartial judge to decide which team played the better game during the first three-quarters, and the second half...
...made a fine rush, securing a touchdown for Harvard. A goal was kicked. Fletcher was hurt in a scrimmage and his place was filled by Holden, while Perry took Holden's place as half-back. Pennsylvania advanced the ball by pretty runs. Church and Dewey gained 35 yards, and brought the ball dangerously near the Harvard line, but Harding got the ball and Peabody kicked it out of danger. Pennsylvania then tried kicks with our back, and as a result, Peabody kicked the ball way over the head of Graham, and the ball was downed at Pennsylvania's 5-yard...

Crane kicked the goal. The score was then 34-0 and no more points were made...
...assumed that the Princeton and Yale teams were more easily matched than has been the case for years perhaps. It is true that the weather was far from favorable but whatever was lacking in advantages was made up for by the determination of the players. Seldom have teams been brought together who were so thoroughly determined either to win, or to make a victory cost more than a defeat. Is is true that the feeling on both sides was unfortunately higher than it should have been. But such must always be the case when complications arise similar to those which...
...those of judge have been reduced simply to those of executioner. No more of the famous "petitions" for what are politely called "occasional brief indispositions," by the new regulations will be received. The necessity for many of them has disappeared, however, with the advent of voluntary chapel, which has brought with it the remedy of a shameful abuse. We repeat that those whose skill in the old law has done so much for them will do well to conn the new with even greater care...
