Appearing as a clever exponent of the open style game the eleven played a spectacular 0 to 0 tie game with Amherst a week later. Contrasted to the old fashioned game on which Amherst depended, the long forward passes of the Brown team stood out, a distinctive feature of a new style game which gave promise of future development. A lapse of two weeks preceded the disastrous game in New York when Cornell so easily defeated the Providence team by the score of 28 to 7. But there is something to be said for the team's showing in this...
...team comes to the Stadium today after a season marked by a changing standard in its play. If Brown plays the game of which it is capable the contest should prove a decidedly close one in which all the phases of the new style game will be utilized in the effort of the lighter team to score on the major eleven...

White and Wiley, the centres, did no work on Thursday, but can be used today if necessary. Betts has been shifted from left to right tackle and Wiedman was moved from tackle to end. While there are no signs...
Although weak on both offence and defence, the Princeton eleven took advantage of a fumble on Williams 16-yard line in the last quarter, and, in a desperate series of rushes averted the disgrace of a defeat by a lighter team. The "wide-open" style of play of which Princeton was conceded to be the most reliable exponent was a distinct failure; of ten forward passes attempted but one was successfully carried...
