...minutes of play the puck remained near the Crescent goal, but the excellent work of Skilton at coverpoint and Sheppard at point prevented any Score. The Crescent forwards then rushed the puck up the ice and succeeded in scoring after six minutes of play. The University forwards were slow in following back and did not aid the defence as they should have. Foster and Huntington on the defence showed marked improvement in carrying the puck out of the corners and in passing to the forwards. The second and third scores were made toward the close of the half from scrimmages...
...unexpected strength in the same department of the Princeton team. The Princeton forwards were unusually fast, but, had the Harvard defence played in Vaccordance with the steady improvement it had shown up to Saturday, there would have been no difficulty in stopping the opposing forwards.

In the second half the University forwards started off with a rush and played an aggressive game for the first few minutes, but were unable to score. After ten minutes of slow playing, Gardner caged the puck from a scrimmage in front of the goal. The last score was also made by Gardner on a pass from behind...
...Harvard has now reached its highest development in numbers. The rise of new institutions in states to the west limits expansion in that direction, and the eastern states with their settled populations offer no expectations of larger patronage. Whatever growth is seen in the future must of necessity be slow, and will be dependent rather on the slow, increase of population than on the drawing here of many students from new territory. The development of the College offers the most promising opportunity for growth in numbers...
