...Princeton men who went to Cambridge to witness the foot-ball game with Harvard Saturday, witnessed as plucky an up-hill game on Princeton's part as could have been desired. As the subsequent play indicated, an entirely unprecedented and purely technical decision of the umpire turned the scales in Harvard's favor. Yet although laboring under immense disadvantage from this ruling, and the crippled condition of other members of the team-Princeton kept a team far out-weighing her from scoring for three-qnarters of the game.

...lacrosse team went to Baltimore to play the Druids, and were defeated by four goals to two. The best playing for the Druids was done by old Princeton lacrosse men, and again Princeton was weakened by the absence of Church, Hodge and Cowan, who are playing on the foot-ball team.
