...ends there was little to choose between the effectiveness of A. Brewer and Foster. Foster had the harder man to handle, and he showed up very well, footing the Yale 'varsity end time and again. His only mistake was made when Hall got round his end in the second half. Brewer easily out-played his man. His eye was on the ball all the time, and he tackled almost faultlessly. Both he and Foster often got the Yale backs on centre plays before they struck the line...
...early in the game threw the brunt of the work on these two men, and they did it well, maintaining their remarkable snap and precision throughout the game. Both tackled well, but each made one miss, of which Brewer's, though by far the most excusable since he never got his hands on his man, was the most costly. Both ran well, too, and Brewer's two sprint of 50 and 38 yards respectively were the longest of the game...
There is no space here for a very detailed account of the game. Yale had the ball, but could not gain in the V or in the next three downs Harvard started off with gains immediately but Yale got the ball soon when Clark was pulled offside.

Bliss, who, guarded by Butterworth, C. D. Bliss and Hinkey got around the right end, and scored a touchdown just one minute and fifty-seven seconds after the beginning of the game. Butterworth kicked the goal; score Yale 6, Princeton 0. During the remainder of the first half Yale acted largely on the defensive but kept the ball within Princetons territory...
...much the same as yesterday. Brewer played back of the line, and showed by his long runs that he was little the worse for Saturday's game. Mannahan played at guard again, but was not as strong as usual. The other centre men improved considerably under the coaching they got, and seemed to have some life. They still are behind the other men in their knowledge of their positions, and must work very hard to overcome their faults, as they may have to take the brunt of the game next Saturday...
