...strength of the University line was at no time better shown than when Baker, the Princeton quarterback, attempted to gain through centre from a fake kick formation and was time and again stopped with maximum gains of two or three yards.

O'Brien's tackle under Felton's long punt was one of the prettiest...

The crew rowed very well while the University eight, though it cut down one length of its handicap in the first mile, was unable to get any speed in the rough water at the lower end of the course.
