PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3o.-Twenty thou
sand people saw Pennsylvania defeat Har-
ward on the local college grounds yester-
day. 1t was the last game of tho season
for the two teams and the first big
Thanksgiving Day contest that Philadel-
phia has ever had Not defeat has
marred the record of Pennsylvania during
the entire football year Pennsylvania's
victory by an 10 to l score was made by
hard, clean football. There were none Of
the objectionable features SO often mani
Tested In the big games. Tho feeling be-
tween the colleges Is very friendly, md
although every man on the rival elevens
played to the full extent Of his ability, no
smuggling nor any unnecessary roughncss
were In evidence during the match.
So hard and fast was the play that five
of the Cambridge men were compelled to
leave the field. Charley Brewer wrenched
his weak ankle in the first half, and Har-
ward was without the services of her best
kicker, Emmons' leg was also strained,
and he was compelled to go to tho side
lines. The other injured players were
Hallowell, Wheeler and Fairchild. The
loss of these men naturally Handicapped
the Harvards, but nevertheless they put
up most stubborn game. Pennsylvania
team showed by far the better training,
and, as was the case in tho match with
Princeton, the eleven remained intact
throughout the contest
To Brooke belongs the great credit of
Pennsylvania victory. His punting was
hn HVa.Na I..1I .A.I.
and neither Hayes nor Charley Brewer
were in the same class with him. Hayes
puating was very poor and one of his
kicks was responsible for n touchdown.
All of the Harvard backs fumbled more or
less, Hayes and Whittemore especially be-
ing at fault in this respect.
Osgood did the best running for the
Quakers Try as they did, Harvard could
not break up tho magnificent interference
of the Quakers. Tho two guards, Wood
ruff and Wharton, would plunge into the
line, opening up the tackles, and protected
by Knipe, Colbert and Williams, Osgood
would go through for large gains. The
Harvard interference was easily broken up
by tho fierce tackling of Wharton, Wood
ruff, Minds and Wagonhurst.
Waters was the star player for Harvard.
He took charge of the tram after Captain
was ulSitbitV, itHu WIS Sttn W
advantage in every play He got down
the field quicker than the ends on kicks
and tackled hard and sure. His work in
the Interference was also the best seen in
the crimson ranks, and the majority of the
gains made by Harvard were due to open
ings made by him in the line.
Harvard plainly exhibited the effects of
her rough usage at the hands of Yale on
Saturday last Their play WIS slow in
comparison with that of the Quakers
Arthur Brewer put up a very pucky game
for Harvard at right end. He was limp
ing when he came on the field Several
times after scrimmage, when the mass
of players was untangled he would be
found lying still at the bottom Of the heap,
his face writhed in agony. A vigorous
rubbing on the part Of the attendants and
trainers would bring him around, and
once more he would plunge into the thick
of the fight. .@....
