A drlzzllng rain made the field heavy
and soggy. The players could not get a
solid footing, nor the formations the
least speed. and Princeton's heavy team,
averaging ten pounds heavier, told on
the Camden boys.
When the teams appeared, fully 1000
eager spectators were gathered around
the gridiron. Nearly a thousand students
had journeyed from Cambridge, and as
many more graduates came down from
New York. pennsylvania, also sent

the crimson. The crowd was wet, chilly
and extremely uncomfortable, but good
natured. 1t was distinctly a kicking
game. both backs exchanging punts re-
peatedly and three of the four touch
downs scored resulted directly from kicks

play. was not strong enough to carry
the ball over.
=, It was at this stage of the game that
the sensational play of the contest
dropped out. Harvard had the ball on
Princeton's six yard line, when Jack
Fairchild was sent to the centre. He
made a gain OF a yard and then fHmbled.

made vain effort to block off the little
Harvard runner, but the Boston boy got
away clear and then raced after SUIT

he gain, then he slowly overhauled the
Princeton man, finally catching him by
a splendid dive at the fourteen YARD line.
1t was a hair raising play, and the
crowds were fairly thrilled by Suffers

half Harvard began to hit up the Prince
ton line with telling effect. Tandem in

and center for good gains, bat the in
reference was not steady enough to
punch the ball across the
Tigers Goal Line.
In the second half there was a marked
difference in Harvard's play. The men
went at it as if they knew they were
beaten. Their snap was gone, their line
work ragged. Rhodes and Riggs broke
through the line and blocked half the
kicks Cochran and Hearne tackled into
the interference repeatedly.
The defensive work of both teams was
away ahead of their aggressive play and
neither side had any good interference.
A number of players on both sides were
forced to retire but their injuries were
not serious. The contest was free from
smuggling, though a little trouble cropped

washington ran to the fence to fall on
the ball. Baird, the Princeton fullback,
gave him a had push into the fence, fore
ing him under the press seats and pam
