...game with Columbia on Saturday, Pennsylvania suffered its second defeat of the season and again demonstrated the inefficiency of its line. Pennsylvania was clearly outplayed by the team which Harvard defeated...

They failed, also, to pull the runner along effectively, and were rather weak in opening up holes, especially on the left side of the line.

This year, however, an endeavor will be made to play off these games at an earlier date than heretofore in order that there may be time to pick a University team before the April recess...
