...usual good rush. Here the Harvard rushers ran and passed well, but invariably lost the ball when thrown with it. The ball was now at Princeton's end of the field, near the 30-yard line, but Princeton breaks through on Porter, and Harvard loses fifteen yards. Holden gains a little ground, but Porter misses a poor pass, and Princeton gets the ball in the centre of the field. Runs by R.
