...University team faced the second string men for a painstaking drill in formations, both defensive and offensive, that lasted for a long hour. Then all regulars who were on the semi-invalid list were taken out of the line-up and a stiff quarter-hour scrimmage was held between the two teams. The first string men were unable to score a touchdown, but four times advanced near enough to the goal-line to permit Mahan to essay drop-kicks. Of four attempts, three were successful, one being from the 42-yard line...
...Yale line, skirting the ends, and using trick formations in which speed was the dominant factor, until Yale was practically demoralized. The game was one of the hardest fought that has ever taken place on the Yale field, both teams playing desperately. Yale's touchdown came in the first quarter as the result of a fumble on the forty-yard line, Legore soon scoring on a wide end run. However, the diversified attack of the opponents' backfield began to pierce the Yale defence, fifteen first downs being recorded, and both touchdowns following beautifully executed forward passes. With apparent defeat imminent...
...last five years. Two fumbles were taken advantage of in the first half both resulting in touchdowns, and Tippetts, a substitute, kicked a pretty goal over from the 40-yard line; this ended the scoring for Princeton.

Then followed a succession of hard line attacks, spectacular forward passes, and beautiful punts that drove the Princeton team steadily backward.

...conclusive evidence of the excellent judgment exercised by Captain Murray and Coach Wray in dividing the men into two boats supposed to be of equal worth. As in the previous race the boats went down the course practically even, one forging slightly ahead only to be behind a quarter of a mile further on. As the finish line was approached the stroek was raised from 28 to 33, the boats crossing the line in what was officially declared to be a dead heat...
...Roxbury Latin School football team gave the elevens of Standish and Gore Halls a fast practice game yesterday afternoon, defeating them by the score 14 to 13. Standish began the game with a rush and succeeded in getting two touchdowns in the first quarter. In the second quarter, however, they were completely demoralized and allowed the preparatory school men to play the game as they pleased. There was a little improvement in the third period, but Roxbury still had the best of the contest. In the last quarter Gore replaced the Standish eleven, and against its strong line Roxbury could...
