Other Contests.
Princeton, N. j., November 2.-The
Csiy for the great contest between Harvard
and Princeton opened with d gray lower
ing sky, which threatened to deluge the
field with torrents of rain. In spite of the
unfavorable weather, the seats surround
ing the gridiron contained nearly SOU
spectators when the Princeton team came
on the field, at 2 o. The enthusiasm was
intense throughout the game. Almost
from the moment the bali was put in
play it was evident that neither team was
going to have walk over. All through
the first half, Harvard perhaps had
little the best of it, although neither side
was able to score. Her line was much
weaker than Princeton IS, but she made
up the defect in the work of her backs.
Charley Brewer and Wrightington were
doing great work for Harvard, but their
efforts were of little avail against Prince
toms line. However, when the bail was
passed to Brewer for kick during the
first half, he was able to send it down
toward Princeton's goal line for a greater
distance than Baird was usually able to
cover by his return, but Baird's improve.
ment during the second half was simply
wonderful, making a number of points
or from so to 80 yards. 1t was decidedly
A KICKING GAME,
the oval flying from one end of the field
to the other. Fairchild punted but little
for Harvard, leaving all of that work for
Charley Brewer. Both teams made their
best gains by mass play directed against
the tackle or guard. Princeton's line OFT
played Harvard's almost every point
with the exception of the left end.
Hearn. who was in this position, was
scarcely speedy enough, being lamentably
slow in getting down the field on kick.
Cochran played brilliant game at the
other end 1t is difficult to pick flaws in
the Harvard 8 work, but their lire lacked
that alel tness and snap which cannot be
dispensed with in winning team.
Borden, Harvard's quarter, was too slow
in passing to allow of his backs doing
their best W ork. It Yves due to this fault
rather than anything else that the
Princeton's tackles were able to break up
the Harvard's plays Captain Lea

at about the middle of the second half
and from this point on Cochran captained
the Tigers and showed himself very
capable in this position.
