At the beginning of the second inning, the University team came up somewhat discouraged, but nevertheless determined to make the other side work for whatever they might secure. They now used several of Lafayette's tricks with good result, and showed that it was but want of skill and practice that they had worked so disastrously in the first part of the game. For a full fifteen minutes, the ball was carried about the field without either side gaining a single point." 2024 Bucknell Football Record Book https://bucknellbison.com/documents/2024/1/15/2024_Bucknell_Football_Record_Book.pdf Bucknell Athletics & Recreation 8 January 7, 2025 References Lewisburg Category:Bucknell Bison football seasons Category:College football winless seasons Lewisburg football
