Saturday, on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, the University nine defeated Pennsylvania by the score of 5 to 1. Pennsylvania's only run was made in the second inning. For the next seven innings fast fielding by the University team easily kept its opponents from scoring again...
...second half Pennsylvania played a defensive game. Briner, the goal-keeper, repeatedly sent the ball far down the field in long underhand throws.

Phillips, Adams and Pratt played the best game for 1905; and Summers, Mendel, Bailey and Sloan...
