Fifteen games between Penn ara
Brown are in the records, beginning

There was a break between '9s ana
1903, but then the series went on

came to an abrupt end.
For ten years Brown journeyed TO
Pennsylvania and came away well

no Brown eleven succeeded in even

Old Penn. Then, in 1909. Brown
managed to score five points. though
thirteen were chalked up for Penn.
