...daring to rink a punt so near the goal line, Suter ordered Rosengarten to go round the Harvard left end. He was tackled by Holt without having made any gain...

...some reason or other, instead of punting, Suter tried to rush the ball. Rosengarten made three yards past Hallowell. Armstrong was sent at Donald on the other side of the line, but could not gain. Baird punted and the ball was Harvard's on the Princeton 40 yard line. The ball went to Princeton on the first down for holding. Armstrong made a good five yards between right tackle and end.
