Philadelphia Nov. 90 (SpeciaD.-The Harvard
Pennsylvania game this afternoon on the Uni
versity grounds was a different exhibition from
that given at Springfield last Saturday. In the
first place, there marked absence or slug
ging or hard play other than that Of legitimate
football, and for this reason the game VIII be a
good antidote for the two important matches that
have preceded 1t this year. In the second place.
during the first half at least, and to certain
degree during the whole contest, both Harvard
and Pennsylvania played a more interesting
game than Harvard and Yale did at Springfield.
The game was more open though not so hard
fought; and. is always the result when open
playing is used, there were many long and beau
tifu runs and several remarkable plays that
could not have been made or have gained any
ground If a closer system Of play had been
adopted.
Play began at 2:2O O'clock with Harvard win
ming the toss and taking the north end of the
field in order to have what slight wind there
was blowing in her favor. This gave her little
or no advantage, however as there was hardly
enough force in it to throw the smoke OF fac
tory chimney in any particular direction. Play
began with kick by Brooke. which Harvard
tried to return by running. The crimson eleven
then adopted the policy-the only wise one un-
der the circumstances-of rushing the ball with
out kicking for against Brooke. who is the ablest
punter in the country this year. there were only
c. Brewer. who had bad ankle and was
obliged to leave the field before the first half
was out: Farchd who, though one Of the best
goal from the field in intercollegiate
football. never has made any pretence Of punt
ing and finally, Hayes, who occasionally gets
in a long punt but is uncertain and inexperi-
enced that his work is almost worse than no
kicking at all.
HARVARD LACKED A PUNTER.
| The play for the first few minutes. and indeed
| for the bulk of the first half in Pennsyl-
vana's territory and 1t was evident from the
| start that the Philadelphia men could not make
| ground against the Harvard line, though they
used system of interference which is not only
new this year. bur is remarkably successful 1t
was not strong enough however, to break the
Harvard line for five yards In four downs. and
Pennsylvania lost the ball in this way several
times when she tried TO make the gain. Usually,
of course. the fourth play was kick when Penn
sylvana had the ball. and almost without ex-
| ception Harvard lost from ten to twenty yards
| each time she tried to exchange kicks In
eral instances. after a kick on the fourth down
by Brooke from Pennsylvania S0-yard line into

distinct loss Of at least ten yards In fact. this
| year in football has illustrated the absolute ne
| cessity Of a good punter and has demonstrated
| the fact that a football team is not complete
without at least one man who can be sure to send
| the ball thirty yards ahead Of his own rush line

as they could stand up. better than Yale in these

| posed by good kckers
This is evident to any one who will consider the
proportion or ground gained by runs and kicks
| In the Pennsylvania side and who will consider
also the manner In which The score was made.
For fifteen minutes Harvard slowly pushed
PENNSYLVANIA down the field and finally c.
the right ard went thirty-fve yards over the
touchline He was called back because his
brother Arthur Brewer. had been caught or
side after the play had begun Farchd sur
prised every one by kicking we'll as he did.
and. indeed. he played a remarkable game as
long as he stayed the field. He caught,
kicked. and ran well, and was a great steadier
behind the line.
CAPTAIN EMMoNs LEAVES THE FIELD.
The ball was again in the middle of the field,
with the first half about over when Emmons,
captain OF the Harvard team. was compelled
to leave the field. not because Of any injury re-
ceved by fair or foul means. but because he was
in a crippled condition before he went In, ana
was only expected to play a few minutes In any
case And, as a matter OF fact though there
were many intervals when time was called Tor
some injury. hese injuries were neither due 10
rough. unfair play nor to Hny serious blows re-
ceived in the game The best witness 10 this
fact is that no Pennsylvania man was COM
PEELED 10 leave the field at all during the game.
All those who retired were Harvard men, VINO
had either received injuries In the game Win
Yale on Saturday or during practice at cam
bridge previously And so far any one could
see from the side lines. there was no occasion
during the entire game for the umpire even to
warn a player that he was rcsorting TO un-
necessarily rough play. Whatever the result OF
this game this fact is something for the lovers
of the sport to congratulate themselves over.
For though the college faculties may take up
the matter and go into some legislation regarding
the game. such games as those played to-day are
the best kind OF proof that 1t Is not the game that
Is rough and dangerous. but the methods en-
ployed by members OF the different teams. Here.
within a week. have two games been played--one
characterized by the ugliest kind of hard hitting
to lay men up. and the other so fine a game that
cheers were not infrequent in which one side
lauded the other for a good play
