Yale's work throughout the present season has shown slow but steady growth. From a featureless beginning the team has gradually improved, adding strength, versatility and team work with the evident aim of reaching the height of its development in the last two games. The team's improvement was checked to a certain extent, however, by the omission of the game with Colgate, which was cancelled because of the death of T. W. York...
Princeton, however, far surpassed the Yale team throughout the game in the attack, the latter's backs with the exception of Captain Spalding appearing heavy and slow. Flynn, while unable to tear off long gains around the ends as he had earlier in the season, punting for long distances and with great accuracy in the face of a strong wind, did much to keep the Yale goal out of danger.

The backs played aggressively. Mahan did some fast work in the open field and McKinlock proved himself a consistent ground gainer through the line...
