noon putting finishing touches on the big stands The gridiron had been re-
 sodded and was as level as a board
 A board fence four feet in height en-
 closed the field and beyond this was
 another fence encircling the first one.
 Back Of fthesecond fence rising tier upon
 tier high into the air, were four stands
 enclosing the field. The stands accom-
 modated 27000 and as o'clock ap-
 preached 23.000 people were seated upon
 them. The space that would have ac- | commodated 4,000 more people repre-
 sented tickets sold to spectators, who
 had expected to reap a harvest of dol | lars, but were left" By 2 o'clock the air was almost
 balmy. The big south stand was a
 mass of humanity, which made its
 presence evident by waving thousands
 of red and blue flags, thunderous | cheers and college songs. In the north stand there was a big band of Harvard students and alumni. Though out
 numbered ten to one their enthusiasm | was only limited by the strength of their vocal organs, and they gave back cheer for cheer to the opposing stand.
 At 1:55 the Pennsylvania team bound ed over the fence and upon the field and for several minutes the partisans | of Pennsylvania indulged in deafening
 cheers. The team practiced for about | fifteen minutes and then the Harvard team jumped over the fence Now was | the turn of the friends of the crimson | to wave banners and shout war cries.
 They raised a cheer that must have | echoed squares away.
 Emmons and Knipe held a confab in
 the center of the field, and at 2:15 the | coin was tossed. Luck favored the Harvard men. There was but little choice in the two goals. The wind was not strong and 1t was blowing straight | across the field and hardly a zephyr | raised the dust of the gridiron, as the
 big north stand completely shut the field off. Emmons finally chose the west goal and gave the Pennsyl- vanians the ball with the sun in their eyes. Brooke made hole in the center of the field with his heel and placed the pigskin end up in it. AS the two teams lined up the cheering began ana all eyes were bent on the red headed full back of Pennsylvania.
 Brooke stepped back four or five feet and then, running forward, sent the ball sailing into the Harvard goal. AS the sphere began to drop both stands howl ed like madmen. The ball fell into Whittemore's hands on Harvard's ten yard line, and he returned it far down the field to Knipe. Knipe made five wards before he was downed, and then the two teams lined up opposite each | other. and the real struggle was on. l Osgood made six yards and Gelbert i've and the hall was on Harvard's twenty yard line. Colbert bucked the line and 1 lost the ball on a tumble. Harvard now had the ball and they started with a rush. Brewer made four yards | through the center and then Fairchild | kicked to Pennsylvania's fifty yard line. Osgood made a square huff of the ball and Emmons fell on it. Harvard could 1 not advance the ball. however, and Charlie Brewer kicked far towards Pennsylvania's goal. A. Brewer was on | top oe Brooke as he caught the ball. | and the latter muffed, but Pennsylva- mia man fell on it at the twenty-five yard line and saved 1t for his team. Pennsylvania lined up and Brooke kicked twenty yards to Fairchild, who
 was downed by Gelbert Whttemore 1 made twenty yards around the left end and then Charlie Brewer lunged through the line and scampered toward Pcnnsyl- 1 vania's goal. Williams was close atop of him, but he did not catch him until Brewer went over the line. The Har- l yard followers cheered, thinking that l touchdown had been made, but the ball | was brought back to the forty-yard
 line, and given to Pennsylvania for off,
 side play.
 Knipe was sent for ten yards and Osgood made five around the ends. Wharton plunged through the center for four. Pennsylvania was working it's tandem interferences, but was mak- ing few gains with it. The terrible rush that had marked Pennsylvania's play against Princeton was markedly lack ing. The men seemed to strike the line l without force, and Harvard had little difficultty in stopping their advances. In addition the fumbling behind Penn sylvania's line was execrable Brooke, Osgood and Colbert were the principal offenders. and number of times the
 ball went to Harvard through their fumbling. Brooke was not kicking up to l his usual form and only that Charlie Brewer and Fairchild were not doing any better Harvard might have made greater advances Emmons and Arthur Brewer were putting up a wonderful game on the ends. They were down the field on every kick, and Brooke would be tumbled on his back on the spot where he stood when he caught the ball. The plays so far had been mostly in Pennsylvania's territory. Brewer and Brooke now began to exchange punts and the Pennsylvanian was rapidly get ting back into his best form. Frequent ly he punted the ball thirty and forty yards and made the work of Brewer and Fairchild look poor. In one of these exchanges Brooke was thrown by Ar thur Brewer. After rub down Brooke resumed play.
 Pennsylvania had the ball and could not advance and Brooke kicked to Har- yards fifty yard line. Harvard was given ten yards for Wagonhurst's foul tackle of Fairchild, and the ball was down in the center of the, field.
