...pound class, a newcomer to the Crimson ranks, Tom Bowman went to defeat with a fall at the hands of Captain Waldo Bird of the Yale Team...
...defeat which the Crimson suffered last night from the Pennsylvania Quakers cost them all hope of getting out of the League cellar. Now, the best they can hope for is a victory over Yale Saturday and a last place tie with those same Elis. The game is to be played at New Haven, and Coach Ken Loeffler's Blue charges will be favored because of their 47 to 31 victory in Cambridge...
