...showed a good deal of improvement both in team work and in the general spirit they put into the play. The backs played hard and the centre held well, especially in two instances where English High was held for downs with the ball on the 5 yard line. The tackles and ends were not so good, the ends especially being circled for several long gains. Warren did the best individual work...
Church and Gailey played the best game for Princeton in the line. The former broke through oftener than any one else, and the latter showed himself a first-class snap-back in every respect.

The ends showed up to good advantage, and the centre trio was remarkably strong, especially on the defence. Swain and Lee, especially the former, supposed to be the weak spots on the team, put up creditable games against their heavier and more experienced adversaries.
