...were given more attention than is customary, the coaches evidently wishing to fortify any weakness that injuries to the regulars would cause. The University substitutes also opposed the second team in a stiff scrimmage in which the second string backfield, composed of Whitney, McKinlock and King, with Watson at quarter, showed evidence of good line-plunging ability, and Whitney succeeded in putting two pretty drop-kicks over the bar, both, however, from an easy range...
Although weak on both offence and defence, the Princeton eleven took advantage of a fumble on Williams 16-yard line in the last quarter, and, in a desperate series of rushes averted the disgrace of a defeat by a lighter team. The "wide-open" style of play of which Princeton was conceded to be the most reliable exponent was a distinct failure; of ten forward passes attempted but one was successfully carried...

Throughout the first half, and during the last quarter, the two teams swayed back and forth across the field, neither having much advantage over the other. The game was characterized by few spectacular plays. Enwright played a good steady game for the Freshmen while Malone starred for Worcester...
