...Derby at left half were quick in starting, and found the openings accurately. Robinson and Cutts at guard, and Graydon and Lawrence at tackle, were successful in offensive charging, and in blocking their men. Matthews at quarter tackled surely, and prevented several and gains. Scott at full back was slow in getting off his punts...
...Gardiner, of last year's eleven, is playing right end. He is slow and does not use his head well, but he is the best end Pennsylvania has. Taylor is his substitute. There is no good candidate for left end. Metzgar runs well with the ball, and Ludes and Thomas are good on the defensive, but no one of the three can be considered a reliable...

Both Devens and Meier punted fairly well, but whatever advantage either side gained was lost by fumbling or carelessness. No touchdown was scored by either team...
