...best work and the most of it. He was rather too cool and collected; once he thought the ball was going to roll over the line and waited for it to do so, but it unfortunately stopped near the five years line and he was obliged to drop on it there. He made several line runs and his kicking could hardly be surpassed. Sherwin, Gage, Stone and Cabot played very steadily and well...
...line the two teams are very evenly matched, except at quarter-back; Poe is of course away up and above Barbour. If Harvey should play fullback for Yale his work will off-set that of Homans. The Princeton man has a very quick punt and a reasonably good drop kice, and he runs well with the ball; but he lacks experience and is very apt to get excited. Harvey is good at all points of a fullback's play, and has had considerable experience. It is difficult to compare the work of the halfbacks. Princeton...
...tried at quarter-back in Poe's absence. Until recently he has been playing right half-back. Spicer, a new man, at left halfback, will be depended upon todo most of the bucking of Yale's line.

The contest is now between Trafford and Corbett; in today's contest Trafford making 21 points and Corbett 19. The other competitors are all far behind. The only remaining kicks now are the drop kicks from the 45 yard line...
...goal from the field. The try was a failure, and the ball went to Amherst. An exchange of punts resulted in a loss of ground for Amherst; with the ball near the line it was passed to Talcott, who fumbled and allowed Newell to drop on the ball, scoring the first touch-down for Harvard. The try for goal was a failure, but Fearing secured the ball and scored another touch-down. Again the try for goal was a failure. Score, 8-6 for Harvard...
