Back in 1904 tribe Of English Ia
crosse players came TO Philadelphia
and administered almost the sam" no.
feat as yesterday to n Penn twelve.
The score at that time was TO 1.
Penn yesterday made goal, but thc
referee detected some sort of unol-
fetal play and the score was disa'-
lowed.
"You know" said Hopkins. con
tinuing his words of cheer to the l'hh
players. "Pennsylvania played lnnch
better brand of ball in the second halt
than they did in the first twenty-five
minutes Of play. They seemed to set
together all at once. That is what
they lacked in the first half and gave

as yet gotten down to real team play {:
the action is too individual and not
concerted enough
Hopkins, who scored three of his
teams gonls yesterday and played n
conspicuous part in taking the ball
away from the Penn defenders. said
that his opponents would have shown
to better advantage had they played
games all winter, as did Oxford and
Cambridge.

until we met Lehigh in your State did
we play together as a team: that is,

our team play and expect to get better
