...content to plug away at a stone-wall line or to essay futile swings around the end that usually were broken up before they reached the line of scrimmage. Only once was anything other than a straight play tried; and this criss-cross play was unmercifully smothered for a five-yard loss. Courtney was the lone star of the Maine offense, his clever dash up the sidelines just before the close of the first half netting him 40 yards, and placing the ball in the University's territory for the only moment of the game. The Crimson backfield had little...
...field goals, one by Buell from the 19-yard line in the second period, and another by Hamilton from the 27-yard line in the third quarter. Within the first four minutes of play, long end runs, first by Chapin, another by Owen, brought the ball into position where the march to the line was a matter of but a few rushes. Within the next eight minutes an open field dash by Buell, followed by some punishing of the opponents' line, carried the ball inside the five-yard line, where the advance was temporarily checked, only to have Gratwick eventually...
...yard dash Allen and Moore of Dartmouth finished first and second respectively, while Captain J. E. Kennedy '23 was a close third. In the first part of the relay J. W. Quinn '23 gained a lead of 10 yards on Allen of Dartmouth and Righter of Cornell. C. H. Hawes '23 increased the lead to 20 yards over Behringer of Dartmouth and Irish of Cornell. R. D. Howard '23 covered the distance in fast time and handed Captain Kennedy a lead of 10 yards, the latter winning the race by a five-yard margin. These events for the Freshmen...
...score of 13 to 0. The Crimson team was dazzled by the speed and cleverness of the Tigers but nevertheless put up a good defensive fight and in the last quarter twice threatened the Princeton goal. Twice also they held the Orange and Black for downs within their five-yard line. Churchill, Buell, Owen, and H. W. Clark, the Crimson centre, were the bulwark of a defense that kept down what might have been a larger score...
...Crimson, however, showed two brilliant bits of defense. Twice they held the Orange and Black for four downs within their five-yard line. Gilroy, the big Princeton half-back, was the individual star of the game, and time after time crashed through tackle for long gains. The work of the Tiger ends, Jones and Sniveley, was also remarkable, and their interference was the best that has been seen in any Freshman game this year. The longest single run was made by Bergen, who plowed through the line for 80 yards for the final touchdown...
