In their fourth and final season under head coach Herman Koehler, the Cadets compiled a 7–3–1 record, shut out seven opponents (including a scoreless tie with Penn State), and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 109 to 68.[1] The team's three losses came in games against Harvard (29–0), national champion Yale (18–0), and Navy (11–7).[2]
