at to-daJ's game between Harvard and the
University OF Penns ylvania. IL was the frs,
Thanksgiving Day game. and OF course was a

but Tor all that a crowd OF about ID 600 per-

but the boys o-night. who are wildly hilarious
over the excellent game they put up. are
hoping for larger number next time.
The weather was extremely mild. and when
| Harvard. after winning the toss and taking tho
| wind advantage. started In to play, all who
saw them knew they were In with n determine
tlon to offset something OF their defeat at
Springfield. On account OF pennsylyania's
good showing with Yale and the inability OF
the crimson to score against the blue Il was
no uncommon thing to find men willing to
hazard money on Pennsylvania at very mod
crate odds. Some old Harvard m an even were
little faint-hearted regarding the outcome.
but tonight oil cry in unison. why did we
not play that way in Springfield ?"
At the kickoff Pennsylvania made her dis
tanco on four downs. but only once again in
the game did ahe succeed In doing so. There
were over thirty runts in the game. Brooke

much time had been taken out for delays and
how long the men had been playing. which
caused him to scrutinize the face OF his time

fell on the ball. and It was brought back and
pushed over for touch down.
One or two OF the Harvard mon discarded
their leather Jackets and appeared in tho old
canvas: the rest. however. were logged out as
they were at Springfield.
1t was about 2:1O o'clock when Referee De

to one side ofthe centre OF the field and waited
for tho game to begin Harvard had won the
toss and as the wind was blowing somewhat
sharply from the southwest had given tho
ball to Pennsylvania. Capt. Waters. with one
leg as stin and straight as a ramrod hobbled
about giving his last words OF instructions and
suggestion. while the wearers OF the red and
blue were forming In a rather loose flying
wedge ten yards back OF tho centre Then the
Harvard captain withdrew and left his men to
their own devices and the leadership Of Lewis

knipe. the Quaker. stood alone on the centre
line and signalcd to his companions to come
on. They started down the field. while Lewis
admonlshed his men n OF to go star gazing lbut
to keep their eyes on the ball. As the moving
mass reached Knipe he fell In and became 4
part OF IT. but by this time the Harvard players
were upon him. and tho flying wedge WAS
stopped with only a gain OF six yards. The
two elevens quickly lined up opposite each
other, Knlpe yelled another signal. and the
big Philadelphia guards pushed and showed to
make a hole for Knipe by Manahan. That hole
was never made however. and the long haired
half back found himself on the ground and
only n yard In front Of the place from where lie
started.
Then OsGood. the Cornell plunger. who used
TO strike terror to the hearts OF Harvard men,
took the ball and tried a little Interference to |
go around the Harvard end. Marshall Newell |
had his eye on him, and brought him down, |
with a loss OF flve yards behind the Pennsyl- |
vania line. Knipe once more tried to 60 past |
but two yards was all he could gain, |
and Brooke was sent back for punt. 1t was
a good kick. and the ball struck almost on
Harvard's goal line The momentum carried
1t across. and Brewer fell on It, This play al
lowed Harvard to bring the ball to the 25-yard
line. and there the crimson players did their
frst offensive work OF the afternoon.
There was n moment OF consultation. and
then the Harvard eleven went back five yards
tu form q wedge. They gained only three
Yards. however. and then tho three backs
formed the usual straight line back OF the
rush line. II was evident that. for time at
least, momentum plays, flying wedges, and
that sort OF thing were to be discarded for old
