About 700 people gathered on Jarvis field Saturday to see the match for the championship of the freshman classes in Harvard and Yale. The teams were late in getting on to the field, and the crowd had to sit shivering in the face of a cold north-east wind for over half an hour before play was called.

...feature of the Princeton game was the kicking. moffat and cowling both tried for goals five time; Moffat succeeded four times and Cowling failed four times, but Cowling's tries were against the wind, and one of them was a beauty from the fifty-five-yard line, and it almost grazed the post. The Princeton rushers played well forward, relying on the unsteadiness of Harvard's back and on the strength of their own. Moffat would kick high, the Harvard tends would fumble, and the Princeton rushers would get the ball and so gain ground ; and when they got within...
