OLD HARVARD IN HARD LUCK
Pennsylvania Wins The Foot Ball Game
by a Score Of IS to 4.

Oversight Dy Lho Umpire 0u6 would
Have Been Shut Out.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 29.-Over-
Uhelmed, broken, and shattered, but fight
ing desperately to the last, Harvard went
down before Pennsylvania this afternoon.
bva score of IS to A. The precious four was
wrenched out of the jaws of defeat by des-
perate playing and reckless disregard of
life or limb by the wearers of the Grim
SON. Harvard was defeated, but no dis
grace attached to their overthrow, as they
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 Harvard
men showed the effects of the terrible
struggle they went through at Springfield
on saturday last and in almost every rush.
some one of their bruised and battered
players would remain stretched out help

Early in the game Harvard suffered an
ireparable loss in the injury and retire
ment of Capt. Emmons, and before the
game was over, FairchiId, Charlie Brewer.
HauoweH and Frank Shaw were borne
from the field.
Pennsylvania made her first punt three
minutes before the call of time in the first
half, when Colbert threw Hayes across
the lire after catching punt for a safety
touchdown. In the second half Pennsyl-
vania scored three touch-downs, from
two Of which goals were kicked, making
the total score Is. Waters made Harvards s
one touchdown about the middle of the
second half, but Arthur Brewer failed at
the try of goal, and Harvard did not sue
ceed in scoring again.
But for a 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 rushed and kicked it against Brooke's
body, and it bounded back and a Harvard
man fell upon it. The umpire gave the
ball to Harvard, though it was clearly an
off-side play, and then it was that by a
series Of fierce plunges through Pennsyl-
vanias line from the twenty yard 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 till
the end Of the game, with the one eXcep-
ton of when Harvard made its touch
down, the play was mostly in the crimson
territory
Though Pennsylvania play lacked the
nerce 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 be-
lore them almost as the dust is carried
before the winds
Though Harvards s list of casualties was
49,
that was being played and the poor con-
dltion of its men, for in marked contrast
10 the Springfield game, there was no
slugging or brutal playing indulged 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 both sides.
Pennsylvania tonight is fairly revel-
Ing in the delirium of joy, for through
long years of defeat and disaster they
nave struggled on to victory and they
closed the season of 1894 with an un-
larnished record of victories. The Penn
syNania boys claim that they are fairly
entitled to the honor of the champion
shin Of the college foot bail world, as
ale has refused to meet them and as
they have defeated Harvard, Yale's great
est antagonist, by a larger score than the
blue made. Pennsylvania now awaits anx-
lousiy the result of the game with Prince
ton, which Yale plays on Saturday, and if
the Tigers should down the New Haven
hoys Pennsylvania will have a clear title
10 the championship.
