...second half Princeton at first continued to manifest a superiority in play, but as the game went on the team began to show the effects of the hard playing, and Coy's 35-yard run enabled Yale to secure its first touchdown. After this Coy was transferred from end to full-back, and as a result Yale was enabled to break through Princeton's defence again and again owing to his remarkable playing. The second touchdown for Yale was scored by Coy after gains of 25 and 10 yards. His work was the feature of the game, his individual playing...

...hardest fought games ever played on Soldiers Field, Harvard defeated Dartmouth Saturday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0.

It came as the result of a series of rushes and forward passes from Harvard's own 24-yard line, the best exhibition of football Harvard has shown this year. Three beautiful forward passes and consistent gains by Leslie, Ver Wiebe and Smith...

It was the fight and snap which the University team put into their play that won the game. Dartmouth was by far the strongest eleven that Harvard has met this year, and made splendid fight. They depended mainly upon the old line-plunging game, however, and the two teams were too evenly matched for consistent gains through the line. The game was remarkably clean throughout, and there were few penalties...
...little later Kennard kicked from Harvard's 50-yard line, over Pishon's head for a touchback. Sherwin kicked out again, and after two successful onside kicks, Dartmouth had the ball on Harvard's 24-yard line, where Sherwin's drop kick failed. In the second half the play was almost entirely in the centre of the field, until the last few minutes, when Harvard started from its own 24-yard line and rushed the ball the length of the field for a score...
