...greatest disappointment in the game from Yale's point of view was the work of Captain Howe. In addition to his costly fumbles, which were only in a small part excusable because of the slippery condition of the ball, his generalship and drop-kicking were poor. He came up to expectations only in open field running. Camp continued his fine offensive work for Yale, with Howe, making most of the gains. In the line the work of the Yale ends was conspicuous. Although the Princeton backfield gave them no chance to recover punts as White did, they stopped all attempts...

A strong wind made satisfactory punting impossible, though in drop-kicking Frothingham did well with the wind behind his back.

Brickley made a drop-kick from an easy angle. Before the game ended Brickley netted two more drop-kicks from difficult angles. The summary follows...
