The Western University of Pennsylvania played an eight-game schedule for its second season of intercollegiate football.
The opening game of the season was played as part of the East End Gymnastic Club sports field meeting.
WUP footballers W. Gill, Anson McGrew, Frank Rhea, and Dudley DuBarry competed in the track events.
The football game between the Western University and East End eleven was the last attraction of the day.
WUP answered with a game tying drive that ended with Anson McGrew taking the ball in for the touchdown and the goal after was successful.
William Gill scored a touchdown and Joseph Griggs added the goal after making it 6–0 in favor of the WUPs.
The weight advantage of the college men and a driving rain enabled the Geneva eleven to outscore the WUPs 6–0 in the second half for a final score of 12–4.
