...showed a slight slump in form and were swept off their feet by the visiting team in the last few minutes of play, the final score standing 3 to 2 in Pennsylvania's favor. This proved to be the last defeat, however, for the team came back in splendid fashion and defeated Yale and Dartmouth by the scores of 2 to 0 and 2 to 1, respectively.
