Harvard Lays the Ghost of Jarvis
Field.
| CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov 30.-Crim-
son is popular color in this city to-
| night; in fact. any shade of red goes.
The traditional ghost of Jarvis field is
laid, and that shadow of Thanksgiving
turkey of history Is dancing madly upon
the newly made grave. All Harvard is
wildly hilarious, and growing more so
as the even Ing ages. For what? Why,
bless you, Harvard Drawn triumphed
today, dragged down from its lofty
| pedestal the pride of Pennsylvania,
mopped it about in Cambridge clay and
then sat upon it; yes, actually did all
! this. HarYard's boys defeated the team
! of the University of Pennsylvania by
a score of 26 to 4. a pleasanter
| fall day never shone over New Eng
land. The $1,000 people who lined the
amphitheater upon Jarvis field all
agreed to this, and they enjoyed it TO
the utmost. There were doubters in
| Cambridge this morning. but there are
| none tonight. There were men who be-
lieved the glory of Harvard was on the
wane; tonight they are deeply engaged
in the general work of celebration with
never a question in mind.
THE HERO OF THE DAY
! is Charlie Brewer, the crimson full
back. His playing was phenomenal.
| and ranks high with the few who hold
| first places. Time after time he would
catch one of Brooke's long punts, SIM
! ply dash by the Quaker ends, who
| rushed down ready to gooDle him in
| their arms. and then dash ahead aided
! by imprOmptu interference and again
| on his own nerve, pluck and
! brilliant playing. For Pennsylvania
| Knipe lowered head and shoulders
| above the others. His running and
| tackling were superb. and he made the
| longest runs around the ends. Osgood
was disappointing. His playing on the
| Cornell eleven year ago against Har-
ward is we'll remembered here. The
! game was made up entirely of kicks
and good straight plays. Harvard only
tried once the fancy side wedge, which
she sent bucking against Yale so often
Doctors were in frequent demand, and
kept running up continually looking at
some injured man. First EmmOns was
dazed. and Charlie Brewers brother
Arthur took his place. Then Reese
was hurt. Wharton was put in. Brewer
! himself now fell out of the list. and
Gray was put IN only to give way to
| Gunterman. None of the men were
hurt seriously, simply too much knocked
/ out to be relied on.
HARVARD WON THE TOSS.

ing Pennsylvania the ball. The Quakers
started the game at just 2:1O with a
flying wedge. Knipe took the ball, and
behind the Y advanced it fifteen yards.
OsgoOd and Knipe then made short
gains through the line, and the ball
went to Harvard OIL four downs. Brewer
then kicked forty yards to Brooke.
Pennsylvania tried her backs through
the line, but without results, and lost
five yards on tumble. The ball was
then passed back to Brooks, and he
punted down the field thirty yards to
Brewer. Harvard gained five yards by
short rushes, and Brewer punted again.
The ball went through over the Penn.
sylvania, and was consequently down
to the twenty-yard line, and the Quak-
ers put 1t in play again. The backs
tried the ends. and then the line, but
made only short gains, and bad tumble
gave the ball to the crimson rushers.
Harvard alternately tried the ends, but
could make but short gains, and she lost
the ball on four downs. Pennsylvania
was fumbling badly, however, and a
moment later a Harvard man fell on the
ball, when a Pennsylvania man dropped
it. Brewer and Wrightington made
good gains around the ends. and the
ball was gradually forced to within four
yards of the Pennsylvania line at the
southwest corner of the field.
IT LOOKED LIKE A TOUCHDOWN,
and the Harvard rooters went wild, but
on the next pass back Mackie fumbIed,
and when the scrimmage was untangIed
Pennsylvania had the ball. The pig
skin was Immediately passed to Brooke
and he kicked. Mackie, however, re-
deemed himself by stopping the low
punt, and the ball bounded back be-
hind the Pennsylvania lines. The Ha1-
ward ends were after it like a flash. and
Brooke was forced to fall on it, making
a safety tOuch-back and scoring two
points for Harvard. Then from all the
sides of the field the tumult broke forth.
and the wild cheers of the admirers of
the crimson echoed and re-echoed, and
were answered but family by the wells
of encouragement by the Pennsylvania
contingent. When the ball was put in
play again knipe went through Har-
wards line for five yards. Osgood and
Simmons were tried, but could not make
but short gains, and on the third down
Brooke punted for thirty yards, and
the ball was once more in
Harvard's possession. Brewer took
it on the first pass and made the first
notable run of the game, plunging
along for fifteen yards with the assist
ance of good interference. He was
, tackled hard and laid out Tor few seq
onds. Brewer, Dunlop and Wrighting-
ton then made seYera! short gains in
! quick succession, and the ball was
forced by short ruSheS to within three
YARDS of the Pennsylvania line. The
Quakers resisted stubbornly, but Brewer
went through the line like an eel and
SCORED THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN
of the game. Brewer kicked a goal and
the score stood to U in favor of the
crimson. EmmOns was injured in this
!, scrimmage and had to be taken from
{ the field. The ball was passed to Os-
good who punted 10 the side, expecting
t0 fool Harvard and give Simmons an
. opportunity TO score. He fumbled.
