...freshmen played a very brilliant game. Their rush-line, although composed of men who ought to play a very effective game, showed little snap in their work, and seemed to rely upon the half-backs to do the playing for the entire team, while the half-backs in turn passed poorly and often fumbled the ball...
...though the Democracy was defeated, it still "claimed everything." Charges were made that three colored chambermaids had been colonized near the polls in the east corridor, and that they had voted as a unit for the Republicans. A Democratic deputy-inspectress, while attempting to arrest a repeatoress, was in turn arrested by a Republican marshallette. Turbulent scenes were for a time in prospect, but the arrival of the supper hour happily averted the threatened collision...
...number of men who will accompany the eleven on their trip to New Haven turns out to be but a mere handful. What a contrast is this with the enthusiasm which led over two hundred men to make a similar journey two years ago.

The kick was good but the ball went a little to one side. It was now Princeton's turn and by good rushes aided by continued off-side punting the ball went far up the field. Moffat made a fine kick over the Harvard line, Peabody muffed it behind the line and a Princeton man at once made a touchdown from which Hodge kicked a second goal...
