Brown on the attack in Penn's end, referee Tom Dugan looks on
For a third week in a row, Brown’s first XV came away victorious . This time, the victim was Ivy rival UPenn. Despite being the “City of Brotherly Love”, the Bears showed no love for the Quakers as they ran in 7 tries on the day conceding none. This was the last pre-conference outing before the league opener next week at home vs Columbia.

The Brown second XV were limited to a 40-minute game because of field usage time. With a number of new faces, and a few injuries, 23 players saw action in a 19-0 win over a new Penn Second XV.
