...practically a drawn battle, as the faster play of the West Point eleven easily offset the University team's advantage in weight. On October 29, the team was defeated by Pennsylvania, 11 to 0, in a game in which the aggressive play of a fast and determined opposing team well grounded in knowledge of the game, made evident the weakness of the Harvard eleven.

In the last part of the scrimmage the first eleven played with snap and dash and went through the second team's line for good gains at almost every play...
