...Saturday Pennsylvania broke Yale's wonderful record by securing a goal and a touchdown. Yale had not been scored against since losing to Harvard in the fall of 1890 by a score of 12 to 6. It is unfair to claim from this that Harvard's eleven is stronger than Yale's. Harvard has not this season met so strong opponents as the eleven from Philadelphia, and from her showing against those she has met can not be accurately compared with Yale.

Both teams fumbled considerably, ninety-five especially. Murchie, Teele and Grant did the best work in the line, while the rushing of Whittemore and Phelan was excellent...
