...there was fine play by the Harvard homes which was met by the Princeton goal-keeper, who at last sent the ball up to Harvard's posts. Blakemore secured it and threw one of the few dangerous shots made, which was cleverly turned aside by Peck. Up to this point the heavy men on the Princeton team had depended a great deal on rushing, and they now showed signs of weakening decidedly. The Harvard fielders ran around them with ease, and fed the ball to the homes, who kept pegging away at goal. Hood finally placed a low, swift shot...

We have been led to expect a very exciting contest; the men on both nines have been working hard and faithfully, and have kept this game in mind from the very beginning. Every freshmen should make it a point of being present to encourage and support the home nine by cheering and applause; and such encouragement and support are absolutely necessary. As for the members of the nine, we are sure they will do their part, and do it as well as possible. They should remember that...
