...With this handicap and that of unfavorable weather at a time when the new material was most in need of practice, the team has been forced to go through the season with but one victory and one tie to its credit out of six games played. In reality, the string of defeats does not represent the actual strength of the team, for most of the games have been very closely played, all the defeats, except that at Princeton, being be a small margin...
...whether the playing of the team is affected by strange territory or not. At all events, the team as a whole, and especially the attack, will be compelled to play better soccer than heretofore in the season in order to defeat the strong Princeton eleven. The latter has a string of victories to its credit and that of 3 to 1 against the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn is considered specially indicative of good work.

Imagine the team without a single one of its regular backs! Then we will realize that the luck element may play some part in our season before it ends; anl the only safe way to count on luck...
...most recent addition to the coaching staff and are bending all their efforts towards perfecting the Princeton eleven for its battle against Harvard on November 8. Moffat is giving much of his attention to the kickers and is endeavoring at present to develop Law who, while a second string man, shows great promise as a kicker. There have been but few changes in the line-up. Philips is back in his old place at tackle, while Semmens, who has been playing for Philips, has been shifted to right guard, displacing Longstreth...
