...Harvard's turn, but no good gains were made. A double pass trick gained two yards, and Wrightington was sent at Princeton's centre, but failed to gain. On the last down C. Brewer punted, but the ball went too far and rolled over Princeton's goal line, so that it had to be brought out to the 25 yard line...

These two men soon drew away from the rest of the players, and it became a face between them for the goal line. Brewer ran beautifully and pulled up on Suter yard after yard. Finally Brewer caught him and downed him by a beautiful tackle, but not until he was within 15 yards of Harvard's goal...
