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.

On the third down, as a last resort, Baird was sent back to try for a goal from the field. It was blocked and the ball rolled where Cabot secured it.

Harvard punted and Princeton returned, the ball coming to Princeton's 40 yard line. Brewer here tried a place kick from the 40 yard line on his fair catch. But the result was considerably different from that of the Cornell game. The ball went along the ground into the Princeton line, and Brewer after it. This play netted five yards but was not what was intended.

Cabot was given the ball but lost three yards. The next time Brewer was the final recipient after the exchange passes, and he got round through Lea for eight yards. Some more double passing and a couple of rushes at either tackle brought the ball well within the Princeton 25 yard line.

Then Princeton braced and held Harvard for two downs. Fairchild tried for a goal but the kick was blocked and Princeton got the ball.

Princeton not being able to gain, Baird punted to C. Brewer, on Harvard's 30 yard line. Harvard's first play was a fake kick, by which Wrightington gained six yards. Then on a round-the-end play C. Brewer gained round Cochran no less than 25 yards. Up to this time it was the prettiest rush of the day, made by means of straight football. Brewer had practically a clear field, but the ground was so slippery that in making one of his famous quick dodges, he lost his foothold and stumbled. This gave some Princeton men their chance and they tackled him.

Wrightington followed with three yards through the centre, after which Brewer punted out at Princeton's 25 yard line. Baird returned the ball to the middle of the field. Another fake kick, with Fairchild in possession of the ball, netted 20 yards. After an end rush of three yards by Brewer, Fairchild made another poor attempt at a goal from the field, Princeton receiving the ball 10 yards from her goal line.

A punt to the centre of the field was returned by Brewer, after one unsuccessful attempt, to the Princeton five yard line, where the ball was in Princeton's possession at the close of the half.

Harvard had the ball at the beginning of the second half and C. Brewer kicked to Lea. Baird punted for Princeton on the first down but the ball went out of bounds and it was Harvard's ball on Princeton's 40 yard line. Princeton, however, got the ball again on off-side play and Princeton kicked. C. Brewer punted for Harvard and caught a return kick on Harvard's 40 yard line. Princeton broke through twice in succession, and the last time blocked Brewer's kick and secured the ball on Harvard's 30 yard line.

Armstrong made five yards around the left end and time was called while Stevenson took Hallowell's place at left tackle.

Rosengarten made three yards through Stevenson but Harvard then held strongly and got the ball. Fairchild who had been injured was replaced by Dunlop and play was resumed.

After fruitless attempts to advance the ball. Brewer was downed on Harvard's three yard line while attempting to punt on the fourth down and it was Princeton's ball.

Rosengarten then made the first touchdown of the game, being shoved over the line on a wedge play. Suter failed to kick the goal.

Brewer kicked off to Princeton's 20 yard line. Princeton, after trying a fake kick, punted, but Shaw blocked the kick and fell on the ball across Princeton's goal line for Harvard's only touchdown. C. Brewer missed the goal.

Princeton kicked off and Brewer returned the ball the middle of the field.

Princeton failed to gain for two plays but on the third Rosengarten made 15 yards through the left side of Harvard's line.

On the next down, Harvard got the ball for holding, and immediately lost it for the same reason. Harvard did some clever defensive work, and Princeton had to give up the balls on downs.

After an exchange of punts Harvard had the ball on her 25 yard line. Lea gave place to Tyler. After an effectual rush by Dunlop, Brewer punted to the middle of the field. Princeton failed to gain on two downs, and on the last chance held. So Harvard once more had the ball in the centre of the field.

A play at tackle failed by three yards, and another at centre. This was followed by a punt, which Princeton failed to block. The punt was returned to middle of the field.

Borden fumbled after a drive for three yards by Dunlop, and Princeton rushed down the field. In stopping Baird A. Brewer was hurt.

Finally, after a fumble, and some more of Cabot's fine tackling, Baird was forced to punt. Brewer caught the punt on Harvard's 10 yard line. Princeton played offside, and Harvard was advanced 10 yards, only to be forced to punt by reason of poor offensive work.

In stopping Baird's dive, F. Shaw was slightly injured. He was replaced by Doucette.

Princeton lost the ball for holding and Harvard did the same on the next play. Harvard stood firm in the next two endeavors, and Princeton again punted to Brewer, who stood on Harvard's 10 yard line. Brewer kicked but the ball was blocked and rolled over the line. Rosengarten dropped on it for a touchdown. Suter failed to kick the goal and the score was 8 to 4 in Princeton's favor.

The final touchdown was made in less than five minutes. Harvard's kick-off was returned to the middle of the field. Cabot, Dunlop and Wrightington together managed to gain just five yards in three downs. Harvard was held for three downs and the blocked punt was got by Wrightington.

Borden decided to use Gonterman for several successive plays, but he failed to gain. Brewer had to punt. The kick was blocked, and this time Princeton had the ball on Harvard's 10 yard line. Bannard bucked the centre in vain, but on a double pass Suter circled Harvard's left end for a touchdown. The touchdown was made way over near the side line, so a kick-out was tried. No goal was kicked. Score, 12 to 4.

Less than a minute remained, and the game was called with the ball a short distance into Princeton's territory.
