...quarter past three on Saturday, owing to a discussion whether Harding was really a freshman and entitled to play. The Yale captain yielded at last. Harvard won the toss and took the upper end of the field, having the sun behind them and what wind there was in their favor, while Yale had the kick...
Princeton won the toss and chose the east goal, having the wind in her favor. Corbin dribbles to Beecher, who gains ten yards before being tackled. He loses the ball, however, and Ames regains the ten yards lost. A wild pass to Savage gives Yale fifteen yards, and ineffectual tries by Price and Ames force Princeton to her ten-yard line.

Cowan takes the ball, five yards and Ames carries it to Yale's five yard line...

Yale starts off with a run by one of the rushers which is followed by a run by Beecher which gains a good deal of ground for Yale. Dudley downs Morrison and Gill, the latter gaining ground, however. Morrison gains nothing, but Beecher breaks through and makes a touchdown behind the posts, from which Watkinson kicks a goal. The ball is placed in the middle of the field, and Holden, by two rushes, gains twenty...
