Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1914-11-02

The curious feature of these statistics
Is the large number Of points which have
been scored against the big teams. Pre-
vlous to Saturdays game Pennsylvania
had made the smallest total of points
but those 10 points against Swarthmore
put the Quakers one point ahead Of
Princeton, and the Tigers are now the
lowest scoring member OF the combna-
tlon Another distinction enjoyed by
Pennsylvania is that OF the SIX the
Quakers have held their opponents to the
lowest total, Just 90 points having been
scored against them. one less than have
been made against Yale. 1t speaks well
for the Quakers' defensive strength.
