The New York Herald gives the following account of the game between Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania : "The university of Pennsylvania foot-ball team visited Princeton yesterday accompanied by a hundred or more enthusiastic supporters, to play the Princeton club. The match was the first good game of foot-ball played there this season, and much interest centered in it because the University of Pennsylvania had played Harvard so close. The game was well played throughout, the tackling being hard and the running good. In the first half Princeton had the wind in her favor and Wanamaker made a touchdown for Princeton in the first few minutes, but it failed to yield a goal. The ball was again put in play and forced into Pennsylvania's quarters, and they barely escaped making a safety touch down. The ball was at last forced back of the twenty-five yard line, where Baker made a free catch, from which a goal was kicked for Princeton.

The ball then went back and forth, but by good kicking by Moffatt and runs by Baker and Belknap, the ball again was well on toward the Pennsylvania line, Moffat made a touchdown, which gave another goal. After much hard play Moffat kicked a goal from the field, and the ball being soon in play again DeCamp, of Princeton, secured it and made a good run. Pennsylvania was forced to make three safety touchdowns, and before the first half was closed a touchdown was made by Wanamaker, which gave another goal for Princeton. In the second half Kennedy took Wanamakers place, he being hurt. Lamar led off with a good run, and after considerable play Harris made a touchdown, which was made a goal. The ball was afterward kicked over Princeton's line, but by good passing and a run by Lamar it was forced back, when Pennslyvania touched down for safety. The ball continued in the centre of the field for some time, the Pennsylvania half-backs saving their side many points, Remac especially distinguishing himself. At last, Beck, formerly of Yale, scored a touchdown for Pennsylvania, which gave a goal, and this was their only point. The ball was again put in play, when Travers and DeCamp each made a touchdown, but only one goal was scored. The game closed with the following score : Princeton, 40 points ; University of Pennsylvania, 6, or 6 goals and 2 touchdowns to 1 goal and 1 safety touchdown."

The Tribune says that the teams were evenly matched, and that Princeton had to fight for the victory. The goal made by Pennsylvania is the first point made by that college against Princeton since 1877. The Princeton men showed great improvement in blocking and in general playing. The best play for Princeton was done by Moffat, Wanamaker, Lamar, DeCamp and Harris ; and for Pennsylvania by Beck, Thompson, Thayer and Bell, who played for three years on the Yale team.
