...time for trivial injuries. There was a surprising amount of fumbling, holding and off side play, which is scarcely to be expected from a team which has held so much practice. The linemen played too high and failed to get their full strength into the charging, while the backs ran so high that they were easily stopped. The whole eleven was unsuccessful in getting the jump in defensive play, and the second team made several good line gains on this account...
...second half, Princeton played swift, hard football from the start, keeping Columbia on the defensive. In the middle of the half the most sensational play of the game occurred. Roper of Princeton got the ball on a fumble by Berrien, and ran forty-five yards for a touchdown. Mills attempted to kick the goal, but Roper, who was holding the ball, let it slip from his hands and touch the ground too soon, Columbia of course blocking the kick. This error lost to Princeton her only chance of tying the game, as no further scoring was done during the half...
...took the ball to the substitutes' ten yard line and tried eight plays against their defense. Robert's individual playing stopped the plays and Kernan punted to the middle of the field. Kernan fumbled the return punt, but Fincke picked up the ball and, aided by Burnett's interference, ran seventy yards for a touchdown. Time was then called...

The best playing of the Freshman team was done by the tackles and ends who got the start on their opponents and ran well after punts. The line-up was as follows: Freshmen. Andover.

...first touchdown was made three minutes after Mifflin's kick-off. Sawin broke through right tackle and, with the excellent interference of Campbell, ran sixty-five yards for a touchdown. Shortly after the next kick-off Stillman broke away from the line but was stopped by Baldwin. Alternate rushing by Gierasch and Devens rapidly advanced the ball and Stillman was finally pushed over for the touchdown. Campbell got the ball on the next kick-off and a number of short gains took the ball to the second team's five yard line, but here Devens fumbled. Mifflin tried to punt...
