...much room for improvement was left, however, was shown by the contest with Georgia the following Saturday. The playing of the University eleven was of the loosest and most ragged variety, fumbles, five in all, occurring at crucial points in the conflict. Besides this, the aerial attack of Coach Fisher's players, which heretofore had managed to bring victory, was broken up by the defensive play of the Southerners and it was only the reliable toe of Pfaffman which brought to the University a 10-7 victory by means of a perfect drop kick...
...proposition that the University had yet faced. But though the game promised to be a desperate one from start to finish and was hailed in the papers as a "key" game which would show conclusively whether the Crimson had overcome the glaring faults shown in the previous contest, Coach Fisher was unable to command his entire strength. Due to a veritable avalanche of injuries during the week preceding the game, the Crimson could muster but four of its regulars for the contest. And now Coach Fisher's men showed the power that they possessed. Opposed by a line that outweighed...
...invaders gained possession of the ball deep in their own territory, and with irrestible power by straight line plunges carried it past the goal posts after marches of 70, 92, and 85 yards respectively.

With a backfield consisting of two quarterbacks, Buell and Johnson, Coburn, a third string guard, and Churchill, fleet and elusive but comparatively light, and with a crippled but raging forward line, in three minutes they went from their own 12 yard mark down the field...
Outrushing the Tiger players and outmanouvering them at every point there can be no doubt that Coach Fisher's men were superior at first. Repeatedly the University passes threw the defence into confusion and during the first three quarters of the game it was generally the reliable Gilroy, the bulwark of the secondary defence who was needed to stop the Crimson rushers who again and again pierced the Tiger line. On the other hand except for one brief spurt which ended in failure, the Princeton attack seemed unable to gain ground, the passes going amiss and even the elusive Lourie...
While Coach Fisher and a number of his most reliable players went down to New Haven last Saturday to see the Tiger Bulldog contest, a substitute eleven faced Brown at Cambridge. Although the University came out of the struggle with the long end of a 9-7 score, it was only by a very slight margin that the team escaped defeat. Five times the Brounians threatened the Crimson goal-line and it was only the aggressive playing on the part of the second string forwards which prevented more than a single score from being made...
