Princeton decided that she had had enough punting as it was a losing game every time, so the halfbacks were called upon and they responded bravely. They made Harvard's left tackle the point of attack, and Lea was sent through here for several good gains. Rosengarten tried the same place for a gain of five yards. He was followed by Church and Armstrong who together gained six yards. Rosengarten again made five yards through Hallowell.
