...work of the University eight during the first two miles was far from satisfactory. The stroke was clipped short at the catch and at the finish, and the control of the slides was poor with the result that the boat checked badly. After passing Cottage Farm Bridge, however, improvement commenced, and the boat went better and better up to the finish, the final spurt being a splendid exhibition of rowing at a high stroke...
...nose and rendered unconscious. It was feared that his nose had been broken. Hardwick went in at right halfback and play proceeded. An onside kick gave the ball to Princeton on its 3-yard line, whence it was punted out to the 36-yard line. A fair catch gave Brickley an opportunity for a place-kick, though at a very difficult angle. The ball went straight and true, being the best kick seen at Princeton this year...
...next forward pass was even more spectacular. After two vain attempts to gain through the line. Sprackling shot the ball at an angle to the left and directly into the hands of Adams, who was running at top speed as he caught the ball. Although he made the catch on the 16-yard line, he had crossed the 5-yard mark before a Harvard player pulled him down.

Potter soon made another five points possible by the prettiest sort of open field work. Reynolds was waiting to catch one of Sprackling's punts on Harvard's 40-yard line when Potter, rushing in front of him, caught the ball on the run, and circled the left end of the entire Brown team for a gain of 67 yards. He was forced out of bounds by Bartlett on Brown...
...together. Weston, who injured his knee in practice, will not be in the game today, Baldwin taking his place at right half-back and Francke moving to the centre of the line. These recent changes will weaken the defence considerably. The team will leave the Square at 10.55 to catch the 11.34 train from the Back Bay station...
