...freshman eleven went to Boston yesterday and played the eleven of the Boston Athletic association on the grounds opposite the club house.

...against Cranston to no effect and the ball was given to Ames to kick again. Trafford returned it, but although Channing fumbled badly, Janeway fell on the leather and kept the play for Princeton. Black rushed a little way, but neither Cowan or Channing gained materially and the ball went to Harvard. Saxe and Lee were tackled where the stood, in their turn, and the ball went to Princeton. Poe tried running himself and was pushed back three yards. Cowan could not gain a foot. Ames kicked and Trafford made a bad fumble which gave the ball to Princeton...
