Shortly after the kick-off in the third period, the Cadets recovered a fumble on the Battery's 20-yard line. The artillerymen held their opponents for downs but the subsequent punt was a short one and Ross, of the Cadets, made a fair catch on the 40-yard line. R. G. Hadley '20, who was at right tackle for the Cadets, tried for a goal from the field but missed, the ball hitting Sands, the Battery quarterback. Cannon, who played end for the Cadets, fell on the ball on the five-yard line, and Snow went over...
...feature of the game was the punting, especially that of R. Horween '18, for the University kicker averaged 37 yards to 31 for Legore. His second punt of the game carried a total distance of 80 yards including the roll, and it was this kick which put the ball in Yale's territory for the greater part of the first period. Horween also prevented a possible touchdown, or at least a safety, when Robinson, misjudging one of Legore's punts, was hit by the bounding ball. Horween dove under Moseley and recovered the ball just as it was about...

Only seven yards could be made in three downs, however, and Robinson dropped back for his successful field goal...
...strongest the University has played this year. Thacher, as defensive back, has an able substitute in R. H. Bond '19; H. C. Flower '19's running is inferior only to that of Casey, whose place he is ready to fill; and H. W. Minot '17 is expected to punt up to his good standard should he be sent in for Horween...
...everyone naturally expected to see Princeton start the last part of the game with a tremendous aggressiveness. But it took only a very few minutes of play to show that it was power at this time and it was this aggressiveness of the Harvard defence which forced Driggs to punt on his own 45-yard line, thus opening the way for the only score of the game...
