Penn began the season under the leadership of NHL alumnus Herb Gardiner but he turned control of the team over to William Farson after the first game.

[1] The initial match against the Penn Athletic Club, a collection of former college players, happened early in the season and did so while the team was missing a pair of starters.

[2] While coach Farson tried to address the problem in goal with the addition of Klein to the team, he added Quaker football player Greene to the defense, hoping that he would shore up the early deficiencies.

[3] The second game was played against St. John's just before the winter break with Woods shifted to forward in place of LaGhost and, though the team did show a great deal of improvement, they were able to eke out a 6–5 victory in overtime.

[13] The moderate success of the team and the support from the student body led most to believe the program would return the following year, however, the realities of the Great Depression eventually took their toll.
