...ends Campbell and Hallowell were far below their form of last year, but they were more effective than they have been in recent games. They got down well under kicks, but were not very sure of their tackles, and often it was another man who downed the runner. Campbell stopped all of Pennsylvania's end plays but Hallowell was not as reliable, and was boxed several times when Hare circled his end. At centre Sargent was quick and active, and put plenty of spirit into his play, but was unsteady in his passing. Once he passed the ball back over...
...McCracken made several end runs, but most of Pennsylvania's gains were on line plays. The guards back play, executed with great dash and power, was very effective and considerable ground was gained on a revolving mass play which drew in the Chicago ends and then allowed the runner to get free for a run in the open field. Hare kicked a goal from the field and made a goal from every one of the six touchdowns...

...Lawrence took the places of Sawin and Kendall, and in the middle of the game Stillman took Ellis's place. These backs did very well considering that they played together for the first time. Jaynes did some effective line bucking and was the only successful end runner. He made three fairly long runs around left end with very little interference. Ellis played fullback for a few minutes and did much better work than on Thursday. He struck the line hard, fought his way through and kept his feet well. His punts were much longer and straighter than usual...
...Lenox Tournament, A. M. Brown '03, W. B. Wood '02, T. D. Emory '02, and G. M. Wheelock '01, substitute in 1899. The material in the Freshman class is unusually strong, including H. B. Hollins, Jr., inter-scholastic champion; G. O. Winston, ex-interscholastic champion; J. M. Richards, runner-up in the Brae-Burn Tournament, N. A. Murdock, Jr., J. T. Soutten and G. P. Snow...
