Newell, Acton, Fairchild, Waters and Emmons, did most of the tackling for the 'varsity, and once Newell broke through and stopped a punt. Hallowell played well but allowed one long gain to be made around his end. For the second eleven Foster played the best game, he tackled hard and low and seemed to be always on hand. Borden and Fennessy ran well for the second, each making a touch down after long runs through the left end of the 'varsity line.

Homans, however, managed to reach Yale's 35-yard line with a punt. McClung gained 20 yards and Bliss followed with the finest play of the game. Assisted by Heffelfinger's beautiful interference he passed Princeton's left end. Finally King was the only man left between the runner and the goal. He missed and Bliss made the touch down after...
