...Tiger team comes with a victory over Penn, a tie game with the powerful Princeton Lacrosse Club, and a 5 to 4 defeat at the hands of the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn, New York, which downed the University team...

McGlone at short stop was the outstanding player for the Crimson making several difficult assists and contributing a double at his first trip to the plate and a triple...
