...work of the Princeton University football team during the past week has shown a wealth of fast backfield and end material, and a line strong on the defence but sluggish on the offence. Judging from the games played with Rutgers and Villa Nova the team is admirably fitted for the open game. Both of these Princeton won, chiefly through end runs and forward passes, beating Rutgers 37 to 0 and Villa Nova 31 to .

...practice for the University football team yesterday consisted of a short formation drill for the linemen, and blocking practice for the ends. After the elementary work, the second team was called into the Stadium, and in the long scrimmage that followed the University team played a decidedly slow and sluggish game.

Since their last practice a year ago, the CRIMSON athletes have shown consistent improvement, except at times when the men have been sluggish. Fraser-Campbell was the highest point--winner, making a total of 18 8-9 points for the University daily: Long of Lampy won the quarter-mile dash, but the finish guessers gave him the hook and awarded first place to Verdi, who shattered the inter-paper record by 10 seconds, killing the quarter in 56 7-8s. Fast time in the broad...
