...game was decidedly interesting and abounded in long runs and trick plays. The ends on both sides were rather weak and frequently allowed long gains. The Seniors showed excellent team play and had very good interference. The Juniors were slower in getting started and were weaker in the line...

It was not, however, by any means a walkover, for Princeton's representatives had a very strong case and made a creditable showing.
