...defeat of the football team on Saturday calls for little comment. Our substitute team showed its fighting spirit, but could not prevail. We should all have liked to win, but if it was Coach Haughton's belief that a better eleven could be developed for the Yale game by using the men we did and losing, we bow to his judgment and are glad of the result...
Carlisle's record for the season is an enviable one. The team has been scored on but once and that by Georgetown which tied the Army in a scoreless game and whom the Indians defeated by an overwhelming score. The defeat of Pennsylvania last Saturday gave much confidence to the team, for this was the team which Brown beat only 6 to 0.

Today's trip and tomorrow's game mean a renewal of football relations, an event welcome alike to graduates as well as undergraduates. Of the 15 games played between 1877 and 1896, Princeton had decidedly the better of the argument, winning...
