...squad took part in the scrimmage this afternoon, in which a second string backfield was used. Smith scored a touchdown against the scrub eleven during the scrimmage. Excellent form in punting was shown. Lourie's punts averaged 47 yards, while Vangerbig consistently made 45 yards. In drop-kick practice, Smith and Baker starred, placing kicks over the cross-bar from the thirty-yard line. Coach Roper strongly emphasized the defensive element in today's practice, and sent the squad in early after a short signal drill...
...second successive time this season Princeton succumbed to a superior attack on the gridiron, losing to the University of Chicago eleven 9-0 at Palmer Stadium Saturday. The Tiger was out-played and out-fought, and Chicago's goal was never threatened. A drop-kick late in the second quarter and a touchdown from a well-executed pass in the last period gave Chicago the first football victory of a western team over either Princeton, Yale or the University...

The session ended with an exchange of punts...

And there is a movement on foot at present to make the suggestion to the Rules Committee that in the future goals from touchdowns be kicked from drop-kick formation. The proposition is that the two teams line up not nearer the goal than 20 yards and there made a real play of the try for goal, either from placement or drop-kick, but by all means with the elevens lined...
...Tiger rush stopped up, and a period was spent in useless passes and exchanges of kicks, accompanied by many fumbles. In the third quarter, however, they completed their damage. Another long pass by Smith put the Tigers in position for a field goal, which Captain Smith made with case from the 25-yard line. Throughout the game this halfback was the strongest factor in the Freshmen's near undoing. Making both of Princeton's touchdowns, he kicked both goals and scored the drop-kick...
