...completely worn out the Princeton team. Brickley's drop-kicks were both from the 15-yard line and were protected by a perfect defence; his goal from placement after Gardner's fair catch was the feature of the game. Seldom does one see a 47-yard placement kick pass squarely over the cross bar; and this score was the one which practically won the game. Not only were Brickley's goals unusual, but Felton's punts were also such as to keep the ball constantly out of the danger one. A 67-yard punt high enough to be covered without...
Gardner's generalship in choosing plays to use at the critical moments was the best that he has ever displayed. The play which scored the touchdown, a cross tackle charge on a delayed pass, was well picked to mislead the Princeton team. But perhaps more encouraging than his skill was the ability shown by the men behind him, as well as by himself, in holding on to the ball.

The last play of the quarter was a 15-yard run by Mahan, placing the ball on the visitors' 25-yard line...
...beginning of the second quarter two line gains and a forward pass, Mahan to Rollins, enabled McKinlock to take the ball across for the second touchdown. Gilman again kicked the goal...

Failure to rush the ball across the line gave the ball to Harvard, however, and at the beginning of the last quarter Mahan punted it over the heads of the Princeton backs. This quarter was without other large gains by either team...
