...eleven Harvard has ever put into the field, and had it met an amateur undergraduate team, like itself, would very likely have won. It may, however, well be doubted whether Harvard beaten has not a more honorable record than Princeton victorious. But enough of what is passed; there is work ahead which we must undertake. Harvard has stood foremost this year in an endeavor to uproot professionalism from college athletics. It is her duty to continue that endeavor. If possible, indeed, she should protest Princeton's doubtful players again, not of course to cancel their work in Saturday's game...
...Wilson and his supporters have earned a high and well deserved re putation for their work in this comedy, Last night the stage effects were excellent and the costumes were especially effective and true to the scenes which they represented. The chorus was strong, as usual. The scars of the evening were of course Mr. Wilson himself who made some capital hits and played his part to perfection, and Marie Jansen whose fascinating manner took extremely well with the audience. The story of the "Oolah" itself is amusing and well worked up in every detail...

The ensuing play, which resulted in a touchdown by Lee, was the best one Harvard made throughout the game, for at that time the rushers broke through the line and blocked off beautifully, while Lee's work was superb.

He entirely disproved this opinion, however, by his later work. He had been saved during all the first half and so when play began again he was comparatively fresh, and did his work without any signs of fatigue. His kicking also helped materially...
...minutes. No goal. Score 4 to 0 for Harvard. Saxe caught Ames' kick from the twenty-five yard line and made a slight gain. He then kicked and Ames punted in return. A fumble gave Princeton the ball, and Cowan butted his way a few yards. Poe tried to work the other tackle, Cash, but Dean broke through and stopped him. On the third down Ames kicked, and on Trafford's fumble Princeton kept the play. Black rushed up against Cranston to no effect and the ball was given to Ames to kick again. Trafford returned it, but although Channing...
