Only one more scoring oportunity remained for the Crimson, that coming in the middle of the third quarter. The drive started when Bob Foster intercepted a Penn pass on the Harvard 36. The Crimson drove steadily, on fine running by Boulris--28 yards--and Don Gerety--16 yards--to the Penn three yard line. There Johanson called his one obviously bad play of the afternoon. He pitched deep back to Gerety at the ten and the right halfback was stopped by Jacoby, the outstanding player of the day for Penn, for a seven yard loss...
This halted the Crimson attack, and the varsity did very little offensively for the rest of the game. The defense took charge and held the Quakers well outside the Crimson 30 yard line.

Several minutes later, Boulris punted out of bounds on the Penn five, with only six minutes remaining. The Quakers remained bottled up in their own territory for the rest of the game, as the Crimson defense, playing very well despite the torrential rain, which began falling late in the third period, kept Penn's fast-running backs completely in check...

Up front, center Bob Foster and tackles Briggs and Bob Shaunessy were as effective as usual, but it was the line as a whole which impressed most of all.
