The Harvard team was defeated by Princeton on Saturday by a score of 12 to 4. The first half was all in Harvard's favor. The ball was in Princeton's territory almost all the time during this half, and at one time the ball was within 2 yards of her goal. In the second half the Harvard eleven seemed to go all pieces. They seemed to have lost all snap, and played a listless game, the Princeton men breaking through the opposing line at will.

Harvard won the toss and chose the north goal so that it might have the wind behind its back. Lea opened the game by kicking the ball well into Harvard's territory. Brewer caught the ball and returned it to Rosengarten who made seven yards before he was downed. On the first down Baird punted and Harvard on receiving the ball punted back to Princeton's 35 yard line.

Princeton decided that she had had enough punting as it was a losing game every time, so the halfbacks were called upon and they responded bravely. They made Harvard's left tackle the point of attack, and Lea was sent through here for several good gains. Rosengarten tried the same place for a gain of five yards. He was followed by Church and Armstrong who together gained six yards. Rosengarten again made five yards through Hallowell. Baird was called upon for a punt, but he fumbled and Wrightington dropped on the ball.

It was now Harvard's turn, but no good gains were made. A double pass trick gained two yards, and Wrightington was sent at Princeton's centre, but failed to gain. On the last down C. Brewer punted, but the ball went too far and rolled over Princeton's goal line, so that it had to be brought out to the 25 yard line.

Baird kicked the ball twenty-five yards. Brewer returned and the ball went out of bounds at Princeton's 25 yard line.

Not daring to rink a punt so near the goal line, Suter ordered Rosengarten to go round the Harvard left end. He was tackled by Holt without having made any gain.

Then Rosengarten tried Hallowell again, but as he could make only two yards and it was the third down, Suter ordered another punt. The ball was kicked to C. Brewer at Princeton's 48 yard mark. Brewer punted on the first down and Baird caught it 10 yards from his own goal. A. Brewer tackled him before he could gain a yard. It was a beautiful tackle and was loudly applauded.

For some reason or other, instead of punting, Suter tried to rush the ball. Rosengarten made three yards past Hallowell. Armstrong was sent at Donald on the other side of the line, but could not gain. Baird punted and the ball was Harvard's on the Princeton 40 yard line. The ball went to Princeton on the first down for holding. Armstrong made a good five yards between right tackle and end. But a second later, on a wedge play, which was brought into frequent use later in the game, the Princeton centre men held, and Harvard got the ball back at Princeton's 45 yard line.

Thus far things had been going pretty slowly. The ball had been in Princeton's territory for a long time, but for various reasons not very creditable to either side, it had changed hands every minute or two, and nobody had any advantage from it.

In a moment, however, things brightened. Not at first, for Captain Lea tackled C. Brewer for a loss of three good yards, and Wrightington could make only one yard by Church. But on the third down Brewer got in a punt that went to Princeton's five yard line.

Armstrong tried A. Brewer's end but failed to gain.

To make matters worse for Princeton, Baird on a punt, advanced the ball but seven yards, where it went outside and became Harvard's property at the Princeton 12 yard line.

On the first play Cabot made seven yards by Lea, but on another try failed to gain.

On the third down Fairchild fumbled the ball, Suter got it and started for Harvard's goal without a Harvard man ahead of him. C. Brewer started after him. Suter had a good start and was a fast runner. These two men soon drew away from the rest of the players, and it became a face between them for the goal line. Brewer ran beautifully and pulled up on Suter yard after yard. Finally Brewer caught him and downed him by a beautiful tackle, but not until he was within 15 yards of Harvard's goal.

Rosengarten brought the ball five yards nearer Harvard's goal. But here Harvard took a brace, and held two old-fashioned wedge plays on the spot. On the third down the ball was fumbled, and Shaw fell on it only eight yards from the goal line. Harvard's first move was a punt, the ball advancing to Harvard's 40 yard line. Again Princeton tried the wedges, which revolved about either guard, and in two trials received the needed five yards. Twice more netted six yards. Then came a fumble and a profitless wedge play.
