The University basketball team defeated the University of Pennsylvania five in the Gymnasium on Saturday night by the score of 30 to 20. In the first half Harvard scored seven times from the floor and once on a foul, while Pennsylvania scored but once from the floor and three times on fouls. Throughout the half Pennsylvania played a strong game and showed excellent team work but the shooting for baskets was wild. The Harvard team played a fast game and showed its superiority both in shooting and in blocking throws. Henderson played an aggressive game and Murray threw some difficult baskets.

In the second half the play was more spirited on both sides. Pennsylvania's chief fault was the tendency to attempt too many long shots. The University team throughout played the stronger game at the baskets, while Pennsylvania's advantage lay in covering the floor and in breaking away.
