Princeton duplicated this victory at the Stadium in 1922. In this game Buell the Harvard leader was injured early, and the Harvard team lost its scoring punch. With Cleaves and Crum playing the leading roles, the Roper eleven again triumphed...

It is evident, however, that Caulkins has recovered from the injury he sustained in the Swarthmore game and will be able to play Saturday...
Amherst, Washington and Lee, and Swarth more have been the victims of Coach Roper's eleven, but the Tiger's record is not so unimpressive as it appears at first sight. The Annapolis eleven, strong in spite of the overwhelming defeat it suffered at the hands of Michigan last Saturday, was held to a tie by Princeton, and the only team to defeat the Tigers has been Colgate, unbeaten so far this season...
Springing a surprise by taking a leaf from the Notre Dame book, Coach Roper sent his complete second eleven against Amherst. The Massachusetts outfit retaliated by putting its own substitutes into the field and holding the Tiger scoreless for the first period.

Princeton and Harvard both will be after their fourth victory of the season next Saturday
