Philadelphia, Nov 29.-Oyerwhelmed,
broken and shattered, but fighting des-
perately to the last, Harvard went
down before Pennsylvania this after
noon, in the presence of 10000 people,
by the score of IS to 4. The precious
was wrenched out of the jaws of de-
feat by desperate playing and reck-
less disregard of life or limb by the
wearers of the crimson. Harvard was
defeated, but no disgrace attached to
its overthrow, as its champions played
a magnificent game from start to finish,
and the loss of five of their best men
from injuries weakened them when
their help was most needed. The Har-
ward men showed the effects of the ter
rible struggle they went through at
Springfield on Saturday last, and in al
most every rush ONE one of their
bruised and battered players would re-
main stretched out helpless on the
turf. Early in the game Harvard suf-
fered an irreparable loss in the injury
and retirement of Captain Emmons, and
before the game was over Fairchild
Charlie Brewer, Hallowell and Frank
Shaw We're borne from the field.
Pennsylvania made her first point
three minutes before the call Of time
In the first half, when Colbert threw
Hayes across the line after catching a
punt for a safety touchdown. In the
second half Pennsylvania scored three
touchdowns, from two Of which goals
were kicked making the total score for
the red and blue IS. Waters made
Harvards one touchdown about the
middle of the second half, but Arthur
Brewer failed at the try of the goal
and Harvard did not succeed in scoring
again.
Saved by an Umpire's Blunder.
But for palpable oversight on the
part of the umpire, Harvard would pro-
baby have been shut out. The ball
had been punted into Pennsylvania
territory, and striking on the ground
one of the Harvard rushers kicked it
against Brookes body and it bounded
back and Harvard man fell upon it,
The umpire gave the bail to Harvard
though it was clearly an off side play
and then it was that by series of fierce
plunges through Pennsylvania's line
from the 25-yard line the crimson car
ried the ball up and over the goal line
of the red and blue. The fine condi-
ton of the Pennsylvania players told
as. the strug. lie progressed, and from
tn middle of the first half until the
ed of the game, with the one exception
ofGhen Harvard made it's touchdown,
the play was mostly in the crimson ter
ritory.
Though Harvards list of casualties
was so large, it was due only to the
hard game that was being played and the
poor condition of the men, for in marked
contrast to the Springfield game, there
was no sluggirtg or brutal playing
INDUCED in by either team Only good,
hard, clean foot ball was played by
both sides, and throughout the game
the best of feeling was shown by the
players on each side.
Record of Clean Victories.
Pennsylvania tonight is fairly revel-
ling in the delrum of joy, for through
long years of defeat and disaster they
have struggled on to victory and they
close the season of 1894 with an un-
tarnished record of victories. Penn
sylvania claims that they are fairly
entitled to the honor of the champion
ship of the college foot ball world, as
Yale has refused to meet them, and as
they have defeated Harvard, Yale's
greatest antagonist, by larger score
than the blue made. Pennsylvania now
awaits anXiously the result Of the game
with Princeton, which Yale plays on
Saturday, and If the tigers should down
the New Haven boys, Pennsylvania
will have clear title to the champion
ship ~
