...scored on the university, the final score was 12 to 7 in favor of Princeton, Lafayette was next, but proved inferior to its predecessor and was beaten by 16 to 0, although the University team did not play up to standard, and showed a disappointing lack of the "scoring punch." The game with Dartmouth was a satisfaction in every way, not only because of a 16-12 victory over a very strong team, but also because, in that game, Princeton gave an exhibition which was near to championship calibre and which partially fulfilled the prospects of early-season predictions...
...time was given to catching punts against the sun as it will have to be done in the Stadium, Law, Tibbott and Dickerman practised drop-kicks.

The team had less fight and less punch than a week ago; the line gave way when it should have held, and was unable to make holes for the backs at critical moments.

The regular line still lacked the punch which it was hoped they would exhibit after the lesson taught by Princeton, and which will be imperatively necessary if a victory is to be scored against Yale today...
