Princeton has two men on the second team, Hogg at guard and Tibbott at halfback...
Driggs and Tibbott 1917 still have another year and should be better rounded after this year's experience in both kicking and running with the ball. Dickerman, Moore, and Eddy, all 1917, have proved their worth as substitutes in the backfield, and if A. Brown 1917 is eligible he will make a strong bid for a position here. He is considered by the coaches to have as much natural ability as any back on the squad. Thomas 1918 came up rapidly as a line-plunger late in the season, and if he continues to improve may make things interesting...

Each team showed a brilliant offense, but Harvard's stronger defense gave the team an advantage which forced Princeton's captain quarterback to turn to Tibbott's drop-kicking for his eleven's futile 6 points. The game was declared by all experts to be a model example of the best brand of college football...

However, Guernsey consistently out-kicked Driggs and got such height in his kicks that always the line was down on Tibbott, who never had a chance to run back the kicks more than a few yards...

Besides out-kicking his opponent, Guernsey contributed directly to the score by two drop-kicks. The first, from his own 46-yard line, was the most spectacular kick...
