Beebe reported continuous rough weather. He described taking his first specimens of marine surface-walking insects-a Sargassum fish with fins like hands-and a mass of its eggs which are now hatching in the aquarium of the Arcturus.

The field goal, as fine a specimen as ever was seen, was executed by Halfback Scott at the Princeton 45-yard line. The touchdown was deftly forward-passed by Halfback Pond to Tackle Joss.
