Princeton decided that she had had enough punting as it was a losing game every time, so the halfbacks were called upon and they responded bravely. They made Harvard's left tackle the point of attack, and Lea was sent through here for several good gains. Rosengarten tried the same place for a gain of five yards. He was followed by Church and Armstrong who together gained six yards. Rosengarten again made five yards through Hallowell. Baird was called upon for a punt, but he fumbled and Wrightington dropped on the ball...

Shortly after ninety-eight got the ball in the middle of the field...
Harvard kicked off, and Young punted back on the first down to the middle of the field. Brewer could not gain around the end and kicked outside at the 40 yard line.
