...Crimson, however, showed two brilliant bits of defense. Twice they held the Orange and Black for four downs within their five-yard line. Gilroy, the big Princeton half-back, was the individual star of the game, and time after time crashed through tackle for long gains. The work of the Tiger ends, Jones and Sniveley, was also remarkable, and their interference was the best that has been seen in any Freshman game this year. The longest single run was made by Bergen, who plowed through the line for 80 yards for the final touchdown...
Quarterback Samson had the ligaments in a leg badly torn early in the game and may be out for the season. Consequently, either Fox, Coulter or Crowther will replace him in the Harvard game. Having, center, and Jemail, half-back, will both probably be unable to play for three weeks or more the one having a broken finger and the other a sprained knee...

In running back punts, however, Abington outclassed the University. It was in this department that Brett, the star half-back for the opponents particularly shone. For Harvard, Captain T. C. Wales '21, G. S. Morse '22, E. H. Stillman '21, and R. P. Parker '22 did consistent work, Morse and Wales making a number of good gains, whereas Parker and Stillman shared the punting honors. J. S.

It is expected that three letter men will be in the backfield in the game tomorrow, besides Emery, the star half-back, who is a Freshman...
...Frothingham '21 will replace R. K. Kane '22 at right tackle, owing to the latter's injury in the Bates game. J. K. Desmond Occ. and A. D. Hamilton '21 will go in at end and half-back, respectively, in place of E. D. Weatherhead '22 and S. Burnham Occ., who were hurt during the week's practice...
