...welcomed the two rival teams when they made their two rival teams when they made their appearance upon the field. The Harvard graduates, a number of whom were present, encouraged our men by loud cheers, and the audience as a whole distributed its applause very fairly. The Druids were: goal, Primrose; point, Penniman, capt.; cover point, A. McLane; defence field, Hopkins, R. M. McLane, and Hodges; centre, D. Reese; attack field, Poe, A. Reese, and L. Riggs; homes, Frick. and Ober. Harvard was represented by; goal, Easton, L. S.; point, Rueter, L. S.; cover point, Williams, '85, capt.; defence field...
...ball went, soon after the first draw, close to the Druid goal and staid there for fully five minutes. Then it soon returned, and the Druids managed by quick play, aided by the peculiarities of the ground which troubled the Harvard defence, to score three goals inside of 15 minutes. The game was to be for an hour and a half, and our men not discouraged, went to work with a will to overcome the lead of the Druids.

Each side played with ten men instead of twelve. During the last twenty minutes Harvard played without a goal keeper, Easton being compelled to leave to pull with the tug-of-war team at Lynn. The game was called at 6.15, and Cambridge won the first goal after a struggle of twelve minutes. From that moment until time was called, at the end of three-quarters of an hour...
...this part of the game, and the latter team appeared badly demoralized, failing to cover and rushing about wildly after the ball. The team play of Harvard stood out in contrast, the men working together and showing head-work which surprised their friends. Four minutes after the tieing goal had been made, Twombly lobbed the ball from behind the Princeton flags, and Noyes, who stood in front waiting for it, batted it through. This won the game, and the spectators set up a set of cheers for the well-earned victory...
