...four downs. Graves now tried to rush. The ball was fumbled by Yale, and Cumnock dropped out. Rushes by Butler, Boyden and Porter advanced the ball fifteen yards, but it was carried outside. Beecher attempted a run, but was downed by Porter. A kicking match was now tried between Bull and Sears, and the latter, from a down, carries the ball well up the field. Runs by Boyden and Porter advanced the ball to the thirty-yard line. It was now expected that Harvard would score, but Yale managed to secure the ball through a fumble. It was passed...
...gathered to see the great contest. Although Princeton begged to have the game postponed Yale would not listen. At 2 p. m. sharp the two teams lined up with the following players: Yale-Wallace, Gill, Carter, Corbin, Woodrufi, Cross, Pratt; quarter-back, Beecher; halves, Wurtemberg and Graves; full-back, Bull. Princeton-S. Hodge, Church, Cowan, George, Irvine, Speer, Wagenhurst; quarter-back, Hancock; halves, Channing and L. Price; full-back, Ames...
...Then Ames tried and gained nothing. Ames then ran around Pratt's end and made five yards, but on the next down little Beecher squirmed through and got the ball. On a fumble by half-back, Yale lost ten yards and had a down on her fifteen-yard line. Bull kicked a sky-scooper and Pratt and Wallace launched themselves like pile-drivers at Ames.

...whole the game was well contested. Princeton played a plucky but unsteady game against a certainly superior rival. For Princeton, Cowan did three-quarters of the work; Ames did very well and Hancock's tackling was noticeably good. For Yale, Corbin, Wallace, Pratt, Woodruff, Graves and Bull did distinctly well; and Gill played his usual brilliant game. Mr. W. A. Brooks as referee, and Mr. T. D. Fiske as umpire, gave complete satisfaction. This is no small praise, for no Yale-Princeton game, for years has been played with such an entire absence of "kicking...
...Critic" is too pedantic, and what good thoughts it contains are almost hidden by the insufficiency of the style. Some lines "To the Composite Photograph of the November Century" are very bright and introduce some neat plays on words. "La Corrida de Los Toros," a story of a bull-fight in South American, is well told and ends in quite dramatic fashion. It can hardly boast of much originality, however. "A Backward Glance" is very amusing. "Roses and Cypress" is a sympathetically told tale of the exciting love of a pretty Italian peasant girl and the misery it brought...
