...advantage until the end of ten minutes. In the second heat Lafayette won the choice of position and easily pulled Princeton, the anchor of the latter team being pulled completely from his position largely on account of the nature of the soil. In the final pull Lafayette won the toss and took the side which had been successful in the two previous pulls. Although Harvard pulled in beautiful form she was beaten by about 3 feet.

Play was called about quarter past two, Harvard kicking off, having lost the toss. Princeton started off with a very sharp offensive game, but was more than checked, for in ten minutes Wesselhoeft took the ball from Mason's kick and by a pretty run carried it over Princeton's line. The referee, however, decided no touchdown, as one of the Harvard...
