...first half of the Princeton-Harvard game it was an even thing-the sky was blue, the sun shone, the Harvard cannon boomed and everything was lovely-everybody was happy and cried, "The finest game of foot ball ever seen!" The second half, the sky clouds and lowers, the sun disappears the cannon ceases to boom, and the complaints of slugging, unfair play, and Ames resound and increase with Princeton's score, till at the close Princeton is pronounced a brute, a knave, a liar. The Princeton players were, heavier men and older men than Harvard and could stand...

In practice the men have trained hard and faithfully, and in the great games they have made every exertion to win. A closer or better contested game than that of Saturday could hardly be imagined. In so slight a defeat there is no disgrace. It can safely be said that no Harvard eleven...
...Captain Cumnock there is nothing but praise. His earnestness and enthusiasm have raised the game of football to a much higher place than it has ever held here before, and he has fully deserved the loyal support which the university has given him. He has well prepared the way for a victorious team next year...
