...poor form, but they managed to defeat Union 26 to 2. Last week Dickinson was overwhelmed by the tremendous total of 105 to 0, the victors making fifteen touchdowns, thirteen goals from touchdowns, and one field goal. This defeat moreover, was administered almost wholly through the medium of straight "closed" football, not through the more open style which Washington has found most effective...

In the first set, Gale and Crane captured two games after the title winners had taken three straight, but in the concluding set they were even less successful, landing but one game with the score 5-0 against them...
