...gain anything. so the ball went to Yale. Beecher now tried his little game, but was immediately tackled, as was also Wurtemburg. At this point, Corbin, without putting the ball in play, ran through the center. According to all former interpretations of the rules, this is not allowable, but Hancock, the referee, decided the point against Harvard and Corbin was allowed a few yards. Gill and Beecher succeeded in advancing the ball, and carried it directly in front of Harvard's goal. The ball was passed to Bull, who kicked a magnificent goal. Score: Yale, 5; Harvard, 0.

At 2 p. m. sharp the two teams lined up with the following players: Yale-Wallace, Gill, Carter, Corbin, Woodrufi, Cross, Pratt; quarter-back, Beecher; halves, Wurtemberg and Graves; full-back, Bull.

Fiske as umpire, gave complete satisfaction. This is no small praise, for no Yale-Princeton game, for years has been played with such an entire absence of "kicking...
...took the ball, and Piper and Boyden made runs close to Princeton's line. On a kick of Ames, Boyden brought the ball well back, but Harvard failed to get further advantage. Price had the ball and ran to our ten-yard line, where he was downed very hard. Hancock attempted to pass to the backs, but Harding snatched the ball from him. Holden ran it out from under our goal. Porter ran well, but Boyden failed to gain any ground. Butler made a short run. Bancroft was off-side and Princeton had the ball. Harvard got the ball again...
