...Princeton to score thirty-four points off Harvard, had Harvard played as she did earlier in the season would have amounted to little but Harvard did not. She played a strong, hard game and kept the ball in Princeton's half of the field fully one-half if not over one-half of the time. For Princeton to score so much against such a team shows that she is indeed strong. Her team play on Saturday was simply perfect and passing something astonishing. Several times we saw the ball passed four and once six times. But that...
...regaining all the lost ground, but was forced out at the other side of the fleld. The ball was lost by Kimball at the next pass and the Princeton man who got it was only stopped by Peabody when he had passed all others. Willard's kicking still kept the ball at the same general locality and he was soon enabled to make a try for goal. The kick was good but the ball went a little to one side. It was now Princeton's turn and by good rushes aided by continued off-side punting the ball went...
...next kick-off by Harvard the great Moffat muffed the ball and Gilman pounced upon it.

Princeton, unable to gain in this way, resorted to their superior passing and rushing and made much headway. Harvard was careless and tackled poorly again...
...marched; many of our men were tired, yet more were full of spirits, and the curves which some of them described would have baffled the most ingenious mathematician. At Bowdom square we disbanded, and the two upper classes rushed for the cars, but '87 and '88 kept on their march, the former leading in unregular lines, the latter following in a compact body. We cross the bridge, and near the scene of many a hard fought battle. '88 forms her lines more clumsily still; she is preparing for a rush. But where is '87? Her men extend in a long...
...Columbia Sophomores and Freshmen rowed their regular fall race of one mile in eight-oared shells on Harlem river, Wednesday afternoon. '87 took the lead at the start and kept it throughout, winning by about four lengths in 6 min, and 40 seconds. The victors were the crew which as freshmen so easily defeated our freshmen at New London, last June...
