Game notes
edit- ^ This was the former Lalus club,[2] which merged into the East End Athletic Association later in the season.[3]
- ^ While listed as a 35–0 Latrobe win in final season results,[4][5] the game vs. Scottdale was described in a Pittsburg[h] Post game report as "merely one for practice" with no precise score kept.[6]
- ^ Thanksgiving Day game
- ^ A third Latrobe-Greensburg game was scheduled for Thanksgiving Day. However Latrobe manager Dave Berry preferred to play undefeated Homestead team instead. He was forced to pay Greensburg $400 for cancelling the third meeting.
