To entice the potential fans even more was the skill of the freshman team which was supposed to make the Quakers viable in the coming years.

The sport was reinstituted on a provision basis, however, and would only survive if this season if the university's Council of Athletics agreed to continue the program.

While the Quakers lost the rematch, they nearly halved the number of goals they allowed, demonstrating significant improvement during the previous month.

While Penn lost again, the margin of their defeats continued to fall and the improved play of goaltender Goodman held their opponents to 6 goals on 33 shots.

The final game before the team paused for semester examinations was against the Pennsylvania Athletic Club and led by former Quaker player and coach, George Orton.

Goodman held MIT back for the remainder of the game and allowed Penn to score twice more to earn their first victory of the year.
