...tactics used by the Harvard team in the victory over Princeton a month ago, to guard against the danger of Baker's individual skill, were in part the reason for Saturday's defeat. Although Baker was prevented from shooting at the Harvard cage during most of the game, it was impossible to stop his sweeping rushes down the rink and the well-guaged passes which enabled the team-mates to shoot to advantage...
...University hockey team will meet Princeton in the rubber game of the series at the St. Nicholas Rink, New York, this evening at 8.15 o'clock. Against the individual skill of Princeton's remarkable forwards, Baker, Kilner, and Kuhn, the University will present an equally efficient defence in Willetts and Claflin, supported by Carnochan, an exceptionally good goal. On the attack, Harvard's strength lies in a well-balanced forward line, fast and aggressive, with marked ability at passing and shooting...

Baldensperger, whose impersonation of the somewhat ungrateful role of Marguerite Boudoin, the sentimental wife of the practical Gaston, was the feature of the performance. Mme. Baldensperger played her part...
...Yale been able to score even one touchdown, Harvard's--or rather Brickley's--victory would have left a sour taste in Harvard mouths. But Yale tried to play the same game; she matched the skill of her individual expert against the skill of the Harvard past master, and lost fairly and squarely in what was a dual rather than a battle of twenty-two warriors."--Cleveland Plan Dealer
