Beck suffered an injury in the second half of the game and Bethlehem was defeated in a 16-0 shut-out. However the Bears later rebounded in a 10-0 victory against the Clifton Heights Black & Orange. A few weeks later the Bears defeated the Gilberton Catamounts, featuring future Hall of Famer, Fritz Pollard, 9-0. This win set up a championship scenario for a game between the Bears and the All-Lancaster Red Roses.
