...June. About three o'clock a fair sized audience, including a considerable sprinkling of ladies, had assembled on and around the field, and at about twenty minutes past the hour the ball was faced. Roundy drew the ball out of the scrimmage and sent it towards Yale's goal. Next, it came quickly back towards Harvard's defence, but was rushed out and kept in the air flying back and fourth until in a lively scrimmage around Harvard's goal, Spencer, of Yale, threw it between the flags. Time, 8 minutes. After the change of sides the play continued...
After some delay the ball was again faced and Yale in a few minutes scored a second goal by a shot of twombly. Rueter made an attempt to stop it, but Spencer, of Yale, got his nose in the way so that the ball went through the poles, and Spencer, although saving the day for Yale, had a violent nose-bleed. Harvard made several close shots for goal, and once or twice the Yale men shot dangerously near Harvard's goal; but drake was there and defended his post well, ably seconded by the defence men. Time was called...
...defence were very strong in their play. Their offence all seemed to play well and it was here that they overmatched Harvard. The defence of Harvard worked hard and well.

In the Harvard attack, the throwing for goal did not seem to be accurate enough, several chance being lost...
after a short rest, Playing was resumed. Again the Princeton men were fortunate, for Blakemore, getting a fair shot at ten years, threw a pretty line shot, which scored the second goal for the Priceton team. Time 23 minutes. On changing sides again, Harvard showed up better and continued to force things more than at first. But princeton still made many desperate attacks on their goal. While the ball was being played in the centre of the field, Churchill, '86, threw a beautiful overhand shot, sticks were checked, and the ball unmolested went through the Princeton goal on the first...
