Princeton, after the first half, seemed to be at a loss to know just what to do, though in the first periods, her work had been confident and sensational. Her only score was made from the use of beautifully executed forward passes, two of them for 30 yards each being enough to score a touchdown. The versatility of her attack was in marked contrast to Harvard's faith in simpler plays of an ordinary sort...

The last play of the quarter was a 15-yard run by Mahan, placing the ball on the visitors' 25-yard line...

Lehigh had an unusually heavy line, but this advantage was overcome by the constant use of forward passes, quick shifts, and fake formations. Pendleton and Baker stood out prominently, making many long runs and handling forward passes with great precision. Much improvement was evident over the work of the previous week...
...first score by an opponent came in the Williams game, when as the result of a splendid succession of forward passes during the second period, Williams approached close enough to score a goal from the field. The line-up at the time, however, was composed almost entirely of second string men and can hardly be taken as proof of the lack of ability of the team as a whole. During both this game and the contest against Amherst a week later, the University team has shown that its greatest strength lies in line rushes and what is known...
