...make matters worse for Princeton, Baird on a punt, advanced the ball but seven yards, where it went outside and became Harvard's property at the Princeton 12 yard line...
...some reason or other, instead of punting, Suter tried to rush the ball. Rosengarten made three yards past Hallowell. Armstrong was sent at Donald on the other side of the line, but could not gain. Baird punted and the ball was Harvard's on the Princeton 40 yard line. The ball went to Princeton on the first down for holding. Armstrong made a good five yards between right tackle and end.

Again Princeton tried the wedges, which revolved about either guard, and in two trials received the needed five yards. Twice more netted six yards. Then came a fumble and a profitless wedge play...
