...work of Michigan in a pouring rain, when she defeated Vanderbilt 23 to 3, featured the play of the University's coming opponents in the games of last Saturday. All of the teams on the remainder of the Harvard schedule, with the exception of Brown,--which played a brilliant 0 to 0 game with Amherst--were victorious. Tufts and Penn State found little difficulty in disposing of their respective adversaries, Colby and Gettysburg, and Yale, with a crippled team pulled out a 20 to 3 victory over Lehigh, but Princeton barely triumphed over Syracuse, taking advantage of Syracuse's fumbles...

It was probably the finest piece of all round punting in the history...
