...from placement after Gardner's fair catch was the feature of the game. Seldom does one see a 47-yard placement kick pass squarely over the cross bar; and this score was the one which practically won the game. Not only were Brickley's goals unusual, but Felton's punts were also such as to keep the ball constantly out of the danger one.

...weaken and, as the result of a successful forward pass, combined with a five-yard gain through a penalty and a remarkable run the length of the field by Barker, Princeton scored two touchdowns. The run by baker was the sensation of the game. Receiving a, short low punt on his 10-yard line, the ran through the entire Dartmouth team, and crossed the line at the opposite corner of the field...
