Crushing Defeat.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1--Overwhclmed,
broken and shattered, but fighting deS
perately 81 the last, Harvard went down
before Pennsylvania In she football game
yesterday by the score of Is to 4 The
precious four were wreDcbed out OF the
jaws of ,.efeat by desperate playing and a
reckless disregard Of life or limb by tho
wcarcrs OF the crimson.
The Harvards were defeated, but no dis
grace attached to their overthrow, as they
played 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.
There were none of the objectic nable
features often manifested in the big
games The feeling between the colleges
Is very friendly, and although every man
n..the rival elcvens played to the full ex-
text Of his ability, no smuggling or unneccs-
sary roughncss was in evidence during
the match so hard and fast was tho
play that five of the Cambridge men were
compelled TO leave the field.
Charley Brewer wrenched his weak
ankle in the first half, and Harvard was
without the services of her best kicker
Enmons' leg was also strained, and he
was compelled to go to the sidelines. The
other injured players were Hallowell,
Wheeler and Fairchild The loss OF these
men naturally handicapped the wearers OF
the crimson, but nevertheless they put up
most stubborn game.
