...which formed the principal portion of the day's work, it was through him that the gains were made. Swain at times was outplayed by Peyton. The centre of the line was strengthened by the return of Sargent, and the second could make no impression on it. In the back-field Ellis was very effective in running with the ball. He scored three touchdowns, one of which was from the centre of the field, but in the defense he was weak. Although Hallowell's punts were very low and fast Campbell played under them remarkably well and proved his value...
...carried the ball steadily down the field until Devens scored, Peyton was the only man on the second eleven who played with any dash. Them the second eleven was given the ball in the centre of the field to strengthen the first's defense. After they had been thrown back for several downs, Brayton made fifteen yards through Lawrence. A few more gains, and then the ball was given to the first and the rest of the half was spent in exchange of punts...
...second eleven, Burnett again played a strong game and was the one steady point in the line. In offensive work, however, the second was unable to make any gains. Even punting was of no avail, for the backs of the first usually eluded the second's ends and ran back to the place from which the ball was kicked...

In spite of his light weight, he again proved his strength as a halfback. Ellis took Kendall's place in the second half, and, by carefully following his interference, made several long runs. He also made consistent gains on line plunges...
...spite of the running of Hare and McCracken from the guards back formation, the University of Pennsylvania eleven could only tie Brown in the game at Providence on Saturday, 6 to 6. As a result of Outland's fumble, Cuddy, Brown's left end, picked up the ball and scored on a thirty yard run. U. of P. also scored her six points in the first half. In nearly every feature but line-bucking Pennsylvania's play was at least approximated by that of her opponent. Her back's, Reugenberg and Coombs, showed very little superiority in punting over Bates...
