The Harvard team which faced Princeton on Saturday was made up as follows: Rushers, Cumnock, Piper, Woodman, Markoe, Trafford, Butler and Bancroft; quarter-back, Harding; half-backs, Holden and Porter; full back, Boyden. Princeton presented as rushers, George Irvine, Cowan, Speer, Church, Bovan and Wagenhurst; quarter back, Hancock; half-backs, Channing and Price; full-back, Ames.

Princeton chose the upper side of the field and the wind was strong in their favor. Harding started the game with a short run. Butler followed with another. Holden tried a run and carried the ball up to Princeton's twenty yard line. Harvard was unable to force the ball over and Princeton had the ball on four downs. Ames kicked. Holden ran back to the ten-yard line. Ball went to Princeton on fumble. Cowan was put off just before this for tackling Holden by the ankles. Chapin took his place. On four downs Harvard took the ball, and Piper and Boyden made runs close to Princeton's line. On a kick of Ames, Boyden brought the ball well back, but Harvard failed to get further advantage. Price had the ball and ran to our ten-yard line, where he was downed very hard. Hancock attempted to pass to the backs, but Harding snatched the ball from him. Holden ran it out from under our goal. Porter ran well, but Boyden failed to gain any ground. Butler made a short run. Bancroft was off-side and Princeton had the ball. Harvard got the ball again. It was kicked and Holden ran, as did Butler. Porter and Boyden then made rushes, while Harding guarded them finely. Cumnock tackled well, but the Princeton back got started and reached Holden on the run. Holden was severely hurt in tackling him, and Saxe took the position of half-back. Princeton was by this time at our twenty-five yard line. Price was stopped in his tracks. Porter and Boyden drove Princeton back. Bancroft carried the ball a few yards forward. Porter, Boyden and Saxe forged ahead. On four downs, Princeton kicked over the rush line. The half-backs carried the ball to Princeton's twenty-yard line. On the fourth down Boyden took the ball back twenty yards. Porter went ahead fifteen yards. Trafford and Boyden took the ball, but made little headway. Ames ran the ball out, but in a few moments Harvard had it again and Woodman ran and was downed within fifteen yards of Princeton's goal, when time was called, neither side having scored a point.

Second half.- In the second half Princeton tried the wedge game quite successfully with Price in the centre. Ames next tried a run, but did not go far, and the ball soon went to Harvard. Porter and Butler made rushes. Porter started another run, passed the ball to Harding who in turn passed it to Bancroft. The ball was now inside Princeton's twenty-five yard line. The backs did more running and Harvard reached the 15 yard line. Princeton got the ball on a foul and Ames ran behind his goal posts. Cumnock missed him and he carried the ball out. Bancroft was disqualified and Alexander was put into his place. Woodman made a short run, as did Porter and Boyden. Saxe did some good blocking off. On four downs Harvard lost the ball, but Ames did not gain ground. Harvard had the ball again. Porter and Saxe ran to Princeton's 10-yard line. Porter went through the line and made a touchdown, but the umpire claimed that there was holding in our line, and did not allow the point. The ball went to Princeton again on four downs. Porter was slightly hurt in the wrist but pluckily went on playing. Harvard got the ball and Porter made the first touchdown just behind the goal. Saxe kicked a beautiful goal amidst the cheers and shouts of 7,000 spectators. Price was worn out and requested Harvard to let his brother take his place. This was done and Channing started to run, but Cumnock downed him with Alexander's help. From Ames' kick Saxe ran the ball well down the field. Boyden and Porter did some good running. The ball went to Princeton on a fumble. Piper stopped Chapin and Cumnock tackled Ames in the centre of the field. Appleton was substituted for Cumnock, who was disqualified for tackling too low. Channing made a short run but Appleton seized him. The ball went to Harvard. Porter went through the Princeton rush line, and Ames tackled him by the neck. Boyden reached the 10-yard line. Princeton had the ball again, but Markoe tackled their half-back. Appleton made a good tackle. Harvard got the ball but lost it again, after Wagenhurst had stopped Porter. Piper, Appleton and Alexander did some good tackling and Harvard had the ball. It was passed to Boyden, who rushed through the Princeton men and dropped over the line, making the second touchdown for Harvard, from which Saxe kicked a goal. Score, 12-0. The ball was taken to the middle of the field when time was called.

Every man on the Harvard team worked hard, but our ends were no ticeably weak in letting the Princeton's men run around them. Boyden's work for a man who has played but a few times in his position was remarkable and is deserving of great praise. Considering the loss of our captain in so early a stage of the game, the team held together very well under Harding. The men must not be too much elated over this game, however, for Yale has a heavier rush line than Princeton and only hard work and strict attention to the game will win for us the championship.

Princeton played a plucky and scientific game, but was over-matched in the rush line as the second half showed. The team missed Cowan's services very much. Mr. Camp, of Yale, was referee, and Mr. Terry, of Yale, officiated as umpire.

After the game, a rush was made for the team, who were carried to the gymnasium on the shoulders of as joyful a body of students as Harvard has looked upon for a long time. At the entrance to the gymnasium the members of the team were cheered long and lustily. In the evening a celebration was held in honor of our victory, and bonfires, roman candles, fire-crackers and skyrockets (not the Princeton cheer) made night hideous for a short time. The general enthusiasm, however, was considerably dampened by the unfortunate accident to Captain Holden, to whose energy and patience Harvard men, individually and collectively, owe so much.
