...sixth question then is, Why should this action have been without the notice or knowledge of Princeton? Why was it necessary to do this with any shadow of secrecy? If to obtain the desired dual league with Yale, why fear to give the college time to consider it? Why spring this alliance of the "fox and goose" on the university? The answer is, 'To take advantage of the ill-feeling excited by the Princeton game to get rid of Princeton.'

...quarterback however, and handed the ball to McBride who in turn passed it to Wurtemburg. He spurted out to one side and, getting around the end, brought the ball very near to Harvard's line. McClung carried it over on the next play. This was just thirty seconds before time was called...
...around his end once or twice. Hallowell who substituted him the second half played finely. Dean's work was the best quarter back play that Harvard has had for several years.

Gill made another grand rush and was only stopped at Harvard's ten yard line by Hallowell's beautiful tackle. McClung tried for a goal from the field but failed. Each side kicked six times with a few short rushes between. Harvard lost the ball on four downs and Yale gained twenty-five yards on Harvard's off-side play and rushes by Gill, Heffel-finger, McClung and Morrison. McClung ran around the end and almost scored, but was pushed outside by Dean. Before...
