The game between Princeton and Harvard took place on the grounds of the St. George Cricket Grounds on Friday, November 3. The weather was all that could be desired; but the turf was somewhat wet and slippery from the rain of the preceding day. About five or six hundred people assembled to witness the game, mostly friends of Princeton, though we were glad to see among the crowd several fair wearers of the crimson.

The toss was won by Princeton, and the game promptly began at half-past two. A heavy wind was blowing against our team. For some time the ball was kept in the centre, until a fine run by Houston, and another by Bacon, brought it well up to Princeton's goal. After some sharp playing on both sides, the ball was passed to Holmes, who, by a fine rush, secured the first touchdown for Harvard. Captain Cushing attempted to kick it over the goal, but failed, amidst shouts of joy by the supporters of Princeton. Soon after, the referee called time, and both teams retired to rest awhile before the next three-quarters began.

Harvard was now kicking with the wind, and our friends were expecting a sure victory. The ball, however, remained in the middle of the field, Princeton playing a stronger game, and our team seemingly becoming slack in their work. At last, Cutts and Dodge of the Princeton team got the ball, and by some capital running and passing, Cutts carried it directly behind our goal. It was brought out, and Cutts, by a fine place kick, lifted it over the cross-bar, thus securing the first and only goal for Princeton.

Work Necessary

Our men now seemed to realize that they had work to do, and some fine plays were made on both sides; Princeton, however, determined to keek her advantage, carried the ball behind the line whenever it came near their goal. A good deal of valuable time was thus consumed unprofitably for both sides. Cushing, M. S., now secured a touch-down, but when Captain Cushing attempted to punt the ball out, it was carried by the wind into Princeton's hands. Shortly after, time was called, and the game was Princeton's by one goal, to two touch-downs for Harvard.

In the last three-quarters play Blanchard was injured, and had to leave the game, which was a great loss for our side. The playing of Captain Dodge, of Cutts, Stevenson, and McNair, for Princeton, was especially noticeable, while Harrington, Holmes, Littauer, and Thayer did good work for Harvard. The teams were as follows:

Rushers: Dodge, Cutts, Bradford, Balard, Miner, Stevenson, Clark. Half-Tends: Devereaux, Loney, Lee, Enos, Wiley. Tends: Irving, McNair, Van Dycke.

Harvard

Rushers: Cushing, Thayer, Littauer, Perry, Holmes, Swift, Cushing, M. S. Half-Tends: Austin, Blanchard, Harrington, Houston, Holden. Tends: Lombard, Bacon, Wetherbee.
