PENNSYLVANIA Won by score of eight to six
The smallest and closest score rolled up by
the red and blue in its victories over the
crimson.
| The closeness OF the score hardly repre-
scnts the relative strength OF the TWO

through that fatalfault which Pennsylvania
| has never been able to correct this year

Aside from this the play III the 1irSJ niii1

In the second half Pennsylvania held the
| ball almost throughout, and carried 1T up
| to liarvards goal posts three separate
| times. In this half Pennsylvania outplayed
| Harvard from start to finish Behind each
| one of the chalk lines, which marked their
| section of the field, the Harvard men, in
| the second half, made desperate and de-
pairing stand, but PENNSYLVANIA was play
| ing with n fury that swept the crimson
| rush line away, and foot by foot the red
and blue bored its steady way toward
Hafyard'S goal.
The physical condition of the men of
the two teams vas most marked. Through
out the game at almost every Scrimmage
a Harvard man would be stretched out

THE KICK OFF.
Big woodroof placed the ball in the

he caught / on Harvard's twenty-five yard
line.
The two teams lined up, and Penn

Oh a tumble. Gelbert and Moricc could
not advance the bali around the ends, and
Minds kicked TO Brown on Harvard's two
