...third quarter the ball was kept well within Princeton territory until the last minutes of play when a series of line-rushes and a forward pass brought the ball dangerously near Harvard's goal.

...start of the race was clouded by a light snow flurry, which did not last long. Twenty-two men started with the gun and kept well bunched until the half-mile mark, when Jones took the lead.
