Watching from the press box, Fingleton and his mate, bowling great Bill "Tiger" O'Reilly, were beside themselves with mirth. Growden defends them: "And why not?

...absorbing so much pressure like they have at the BC game.” Despite the defense’s efforts, Penn tallied a goal in each half to secure its victory. In the first frame, the Quakers knocked in a cross from the left side of the box 18:14 into the game. In the second half, Mann kept the Crimson in it for a while, but in the 75th minute, Penn scored on a breakaway. Harvard had opportunities of its own, but they came few and far between.
