...second half, every man of the original eleven except Stillman, Graydon and Sugden was replaced by a substitute, and much team play sacrificed. All the backs ran well with the ball, but were weak in handling punts. Stillman did some strong punting, and outclassed Craighead, who punted for Yale, even against the wind. His line-bucking was strong and his run of seventy yards on a fake kick was the longest of the game. Hersey did some good individual rushing, but was of little use in the interference. His substitute, Kernan, did some remarkable punting in the last few minutes...
...ends played well, Clark in running with the ball, and Bowditch in the interference. Graydon's rushing was strong and fierce, but the rest of the line played an inconspicuous game. Although their failure to block any of Craighead's punts shows a lack of aggressive play, they were often penalized for offside...
Stillman kicked off for Harvard, and on the next play Craighead punted outside at the middle of the field. Baldwin began a rushing game, and varying end runs with an occasional plunge at centre, carried the ball rapidly down the field. Hersey ran twenty yards to the 10-yard line and then Yale made a short stand for two downs, but Hersey finally scored. Stillman missed this goal and five others, all of them easy...
Princeton defeated Yale on Saturday in a well-fought game which was decided only in the last minute of play by a goal from the field. The Princeton backs showed unexpected strength in line bucking, and with excellent interference, they gained repeatedly on end plays. As was shown in the first half, when Yale was held for downs on the five-yard line, Princeton's defense was very strong. On the other hand, Yale had the advantage of fine generalship and was quick to take advantage of every opportunity...
Princeton scored a touchdown and goal after twelve minutes of play, carrying the ball from the middle of the field by line-backing and by Reiter's 35 yard run around Yale's right end. Soon afterwards Brown blocked Wheeler's punt on Princeton's 10 yard line and McBride fell on the ball behind the goal-line, scoring a touchdown. Brown missed a difficult goal. Yale scored again in the first half on Sharpe's goal from the 45 yard line...
