...Field, Saturday afternoon, resulted in a tie, neither side being able to score. The Freshmen played a mediocre game. They tackled well, but fumbled a great deal and ran too high. Only once, in the second half, did it seem likely that they would score, but the ball was lost and Brill quickly punted it out of danger. Exeter, on the other hand, played a sharp and fast game, but missed the chance to score by attempting four goals from the field, which were all unsuccessful. Had they adopted a line-plunging policy they might well have scored...

The latter was especially strong in running down the field on kicks...
...nearly every feature but line-bucking Pennsylvania's play was at least approximated by that of her opponent. Her back's, Reugenberg and Coombs, showed very little superiority in punting over Bates of Brown. She was frequently forced to kick on the third down, time and again she lost the ball on fumbles, and her general form was far below expectations...
