PRINCETON TEAM DOWNS RUGGERS IN HARD GAME

5-0 Crimson Lead, Made by Meiklejohn, Overcome Late in Game--Jayvees Overwhelmed 6-0

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With two spectacular plays late in the second period, the Princeton rugby team successfully overcame a five-point Harvard lead to win from the Crimson fifteen 6-5 at Soldiers Field Saturday. D. W. Meiklejohn 2G, making all Harvard's scores, was the outstanding player on the home team.

Early in the game, Meiklejohn took the ball from a scrimmage and plunged over the line for the first score of the game. He added two more points on a well-placed kick following the try. Near the end of the game, Craig received the ball on a series of passes from a scrum near the Harvard line, and carried it across for Princeton's first tally.

Nice combination work by the Princeton forwards and two long runs by Lee gave the visiting Jayvee fifteen a 6-0 win over the Crimson team.
