...University football team defeated the eleven of the United States Military Academy at West Point in a hard contest last Saturday by the score of 12 to 6. Princeton gave a fine exhibition of football and surpassed West Point in every department of the game. Cooney and Stanard were the most to be depended upon for gains.

At the first bend in the course Crew B, which was rowing a 32 stroke, was a length behind...

...exception of a slight breeze blowing up the course, which made the time of the junior crew even more remarkable, the weather contions for rowing were perfect. A large crowd lined the banks of the lake and the sides of the first bridge. The races were very closely contested and exciting throughout. In but one instance was there open water between the shells. The freshman club race was won by the academic boat while the Sheffield freshmen won the first crew contest. Contrary to former custom the university crew did not give an exhibition row, as the men were used...
