After the scrimmage, Charlie Brickley spent nearly an hour giving Captain Horween individual instruction in drop-kicking. That the latter is fast growing to be a kicker of no mean ability was shown by the fact that he put several drop kicks in succession between the goal posts from the 45-yard line...
Another point responsible for Princeton's victory was the fact that Scheerer's 11 kicks averaged a little over 51 yards. Scheerer is playing a much better defensive game than he was at this time last year, and he is undoubtedly one of the greatest kickers that ever wore the Orange and Black.

He is a sure tackler, a good line plunger; a clever drop-kicker. When Owen, Churchill and Fitzgerald are in the backfield with him, it is a most formidable combination...

Pfaffman, who has had experience at Andover, Luke Lockwood, a Middlesex veteran of two years, Greene, Salisbury back for a similar period, and Merrill make up the second string backfield. Other backs who have had preparatory school experience and promise well are Lee, from Milton, Pratt...
