There were fifteen hounds at the start, all of whom kept up to the break. The race in from Porter's Station was very close and was won by Gorham, '90, with Davenport, '90, second. The hares reached the gymnasium at 4.42. The hounds were eight minutes behind thus losing only one minute actual time. The trail was so straight and plain that they had no difficulty in keeping up a steady pace. As the hounds won, cups will be given to Gorham and Davenport...

The twelve points by which we were beaten does not indicate how stubborn and close the contest was.

The play here began on both sides to be rough. The Princeton rush line were again...
...long rush and was downed close to Princeton's goal. Davis then broke through and mane the only touchdown for Harvard; goal was kicked by Sears. Score, 18 to 6. A minute later, time was called. The game was not very closely contested. Harvard seemed overmatched from the start. Princeton had very little difficulty in breaking through and Harvard could not get through Princeton's line at all. Princeton's rush line was decidedly heavier than ours, averaging 177 pounds. The team play of Harvard was very bad, although many of the men did brilliant work. Captain Sears rushed...
