...that put Yale, who in the last six years had lost but a single game and that by a score of six to five, to her very sharpest effort to retain her supremacy. And it may be assumed that Harvard has come back to the foot-ball grounds to stay, and that means an even contest, with victory to the team that has been best trained and best coached. In other branches of athletics the two universities have almost held first and second place for many years. Thus in base ball, in track athletics and in tennis...
...strife has returned before. True. But now it has not returned to be driven away by any soft words of conciliation. It has come to stay until the spirit of Yale College has risen to a level of manliness high enough to cast its disapproval upon such speeches as that with which Captains Beecher and Peters have favored their friends. The Advocate, in its last number, has some pithy and hard editorials upon the re-appearance of this "muckerism," but we can say that the Advocate has not gone a step too far.

They may at least know whom to blame, if their team is beaten...
...lost. Ames kicked and Bull had a down on Yale's tenyard line. Yale kicked back, but Princeton kept the ball in Yale's territory for several minutes. However, on a bad fumble by Princeton and skillful rushing by Yale, the ball was forced into Princeton's territory to stay. The ball changed hands several times. Ames made several very pretty runs, and Princeton was gradually forced back of her ten-yard line. A kick by Ames was well returned by Bull. Cowan stepped back in a half-back's place and literally pushed the Yale team back five yards...
