The next two games played with the Sophomores and Juniors were also easy wins, but in the return games the Freshmen found themsleves outelassed by so narrow a margin that only one point turned a possible victory into defeat. One of the closest games of the series was the Junior-Freshman game in which the final score was only 15 to 14 in favor of the school champions. Another hard-fought game was the Freshman-Sophomore game which if won would have placed the Rooks in the finals for the championship.
