Crippled by the Retirement of Captain

Philadelphia, November 29.-Overwhelmed,
broken and shattered. fighting desperately
to the last, Harvard went down before
Pennsylvania in the football game this af-
te1noon by score of 1s to 4. The precious
four was wrenched out of the jaws of de-
feat by desperate playing and reckless dis
regard of life or limb by the wearers Of the
crimson. Harvard is defeated but no dis
grace is attached to the overthrow. as they
played magnificent game from the start to
the finish, but 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 strug-
gle they went through at Springfield, Sat
uIday last, and in almost every rush some
one of their bruised and battered players
would remain stretched out helpless ON
the turf. Early in the game Harvard suff-
cred irreparable loss in an injury and re-
tirement of Captain Emons. and before the
game was over Fairohiid, Charlie Brewer,
Hallowell and Frank Shaw were borne
first point three minutes before the call of
time in the first half, when Colbert threw
Hayes across the line after catching punt
for a safety touchdown. In the second half
Pennsylvania scored three touchdowus
from two of which goals were kicked, max
ing total score for the red and blue of 13.
Waters made HaIvards one touchdown

Harvard did not succeed in scoring again,
and but for a palpable oversight ON the
part of the umpire. Harvard would prob
ably have been shut out. I'll he ball was punt
ed into Pennsylvania's territory and strik-
Ing on the ground .one of the Harvard rush
ers kicked it against Brooke's body. 1t
bounded back and Harvard man fell up
on it. The umpire gase the ball to Harvard,
though it clearly was an ofiside play. Then
it was by series Of fierce naunges through,
the Pennsylvania line from The twenty-five
yard line. that the crimson carried the ball
up and over the goal line of tine red and
blue. The fine condition of the Pennyslva-
mia players told as the struggle progI essed.
and from the middle of the first half until
the end of the game, with one exception
when Harvard made the touchdown, the
play WAS uOSbiy III Guo CIlHSOu .toII1toEJ.
CLEAN PLAYING.
Though Pennsy1yania's play lacked the
fierce rush that overhore Princeton, still,
as the certainty of victory grew brighter,
they played with Increasing ardor. and to-
wards the close of the game they were
sweeping Harvard resistlessly before them.
Though Harvard's list of casualties is
large, it is due only to the hard game being
played andsthe poor condition of the HaI-
yard men,. No slugging or brutal playing
was INDUCED in by either team. and only
good hard, clean football was played by
both sides. Throughout the game the best
of feeling was shown byralT1he players.
| The Pennsylanians tonight are in a delir-
| ium of joy, for through Tong years of defeat
lathey have struggled on to victory. They
close this seaon with untarnished record
of victories. They claim that they fairly
are entitled to the honor of the cbampion-
ship of the college football world, as Yale
refused to meet them, and as they defeated
Harvard by larger score than the blue
made The Pennsylvania await anxiously
the result of the Yale-Princeton game Sat-
urday. If the tigers should defeat the New
Haven boys, the Pennsylvanias will assert
they have a clear title to the championship
NEVER

THE GAME.
| Emmons and Kniped had a conference
in the centre of the field and at 2.I5 a
coin was tossed. Luck favored the Har-
ward men but there was little choice in the
| two GOALS. The wind was not strong and
was blowing straight across the field and
hardly a zephyr ,aised the dust OF the grid
iron as the big north stand completely shut
the field off. Emmons finally chose the
