HARVARD GOES DOWN TO THE PENNsYLvANIANs IN A DEsPER- ATELY FOUGHT GAME,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29. 29.-Overwhelmed, , broken and shattered, put fighting desper- ately 10 the last, Harvard went down be- fore Pennsylvania this afternoon by the score of IS to 4. The precious four was wreDched out of the jews of defeat by des- perate playing and reckless disregard of of life or limb by the wearers of the crim- son. Harvard was defeated, but no dis grace Is attached to their overthrow, as they played magnificent game from start to finish, and the loss of i've of their best men from injuries weakened them when their help was most needed.
 The Harvard men showed the effects of the terrible struggle they vent through at Springfield on Saturday last, and in almost every rush some one of their bruised and out helpless on the turf. Early in the game Harvard suffered an irreparable loss in the injury and retirement of Captain Emmons, and before the game was over Fairchild. Charlie Brewer, Hallowell and Frank Shaw were borne from the field.
 Pennsylvania made her first point three minutes before the call of the first half, !, when Talbert threw Hayes across the line, after catching punt for a safety touch- down. 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 Harvard's only touchdown about the middle of the second half, but Arthur Brewer failed at the try of goal and Harvard did not succeed in scoring again. But for palpable oversight on the part of the Umpire, Harvard would probably have been shut out. The ball had been punted into Pennsylvania s territory, and striking on the ground, one. of the Harvard men rushers kicked 1t against Brooke's body and it bounded back and Harvard man fell upon it.
 The umpire gave the ball to Harvard, though it was clearly an offside play, and 1t was then by a series of fierce plunges through Pennsylyania's line from the twenty foot line that the crimson carried the ball up and over the goal line of the red and blue. The fine condition of the Pennsylvania players told as the struggle progressed; and from the middle of the first half until the end of the game, with the one exception when Harvard made its touchdown, the play was mostly in the crimson territory.
 Though Pennsylvania's play lacked the fierce rush that overbore Princeton, still, as the certainty of victory grew brighter, the red and blue played with greater and greater ardor, and toward the close of the game they were sweeping Harvard before them almost as the dust is carried before the wind.
 Though Harvard's list of casualties was large, 1t was due only to the hard game that was being played and the poor condi- tion of its men, for in marked contrast to the snels inawirsd ball was played by both sides, and through. out the game the best of feeling was shown by the players on either side.
 Pennsylvania tonight is fairly reveling In the delirium of joy. for through long years of defeats and disasters they have struggled on to victory, and they close the season of 1894 with m untarnished record of victories. Pennsylvania olaims that they are fairly entitled to the honor of cham piouship of college football work, a Yale has refused to meet them and ae they have defeated Haryards Yals's Rreetsst antas.
