...were two injuries during the last week at Princeton which may weaken the team somewhat. Shea broke his ankle against Harvard last Saturday, while Semmens, the left guard, bruised his knee in practice on Tuesday and may not be able to play today. The exact line-up of the Tiger team is uncertain. Baker and Hammond are the probable choices for end with Phillips and Ballin in the tackle positions. Swart will probably play right guard and E.

The Princeton eleven has begun to retrieve the Dartmouth defeat and it will meet Harvard tomorrow completely rejuvenated and ready to fight its hardest...
...athletic honor, of Harvard to guard. But you men who are going down to Princeton as a cheering corps--you also in President Lowell's words, "have the honor of your University to guard. You can do more harm than many athletic teams can repair." You have no tiger to fight neither in Princeton nor in New York City. You will be watched--particularly if you do anything that should not be seen. For the honor of your College--for that very reason that you go there...
