...CRIMSON and close blocking by the Bacteria rush-line. A few sparring contests lent spectacular interest to the game. In the second half the struggle was furious. Several times the ball was brought down to the goal of the CRIMSON and once a high throw aided by the strong wind blowing resulted in a safety touch-back for the CRIMSON. As the minutes passed the game seemed already decided for every effort of the Bacterias to score proved futile. But just before the time expired a curious line of fortuitous circumstances aided by a magnificent rush gave the Bacterias...
...game was not called until quarter past three on Saturday, owing to a discussion whether Harding was really a freshman and entitled to play. The Yale captain yielded at last. Harvard won the toss and took the upper end of the field, having the sun behind them and what wind there was in their favor, while Yale had the kick...
Harvard played her last championship game at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day and won easily. Although the weather was threatening, it rained very little, and the grounds were in a fair condition. Pennsylvania won the toss and chose the advantage of a light wind. The ball was dribbled to Sears, who gained a few yards.

In lining out Holden took the ball straight through the Pennsylvania line, and scored the first...
Princeton won the toss and chose the east goal, having the wind in her favor. Corbin dribbles to Beecher, who gains ten yards before being tackled.

Cowan takes the ball, five yards and Ames carries it to Yale's five yard line...

Yale starts off with a run by one of the rushers which is followed by a run by Beecher which gains a good deal of ground for Yale. Dudley downs Morrison and Gill, the latter gaining ground, however. Morrison gains nothing, but Beecher breaks through and makes a touchdown behind the posts, from which Watkinson kicks a goal. The ball is placed in the middle of the field, and Holden, by two rushes, gains twenty...
