INOV. 1l.-OHlVcI-
sity of Pennsylvania, 8; Harvard. 6.
Beaten, battered, shattered, but not
disgraced.
This Is but the.preface to the story of
one Of the grandest battles ever witness
ed on the football gridiron.
The teams lined UP as follows
Pennsylvania. Position. Harvard.
Boyle. .......... Left end .......... Cabot
Uffenheimer. Left tackle ...... Wheeler
Woodruff. Left guard ......... .Bouve
Overf1eld.. Center. .......F. Shaw
wharton..... Right guard ..J. N. Shaw

Weeks....... Quarterback .......Beale
Colbert. Left half back .Wrightington
Morice.... 800. Right half back Dunlop
Minds. ......... Full back ........ Brown
Every man played as though his life
depended upon the result Of the game.
There was that unison which comes only
with thorough training: each man try
ing to help the other.
Harvards defensive work for time
was superb, but the awful battering
their line received from Pennsylvania
heavyweights began to tell before the
first half was finished, and many delays
were occasioned by the crimson warriors
being stretched upon the grass For
time the faithful who urged their GRIM
son-legged team to greater efforts SEEM
ed to falter. but the cheer was taken up
by red and blue followers. Thousands of
Pennsylvauians shouted Justify for their
crimson rivals. not because they hoped
to see them win the contest. but because
Of the plucky fight they were putting up
in the face Of overwhelming odds.
The crimson eleven went into the bat
tie with some of their bset men in a
crippled condition. They stood the bat
tering ram process for the first half and
1t was in this half that crimson made the
only touchdown. But in the second the
physical condition of the red and blue
began to assert itself, and one by one
Harvard cripp!es were carried from the
field. First to succumb was Johnny Dun
lop, who was relieved by Livermore;
then Frank Shaw got mixed up in a
scrimmage and Doucette was called on
at center. A few minutes later Wheeler
and Brown were both injured and their
respective places we're filled by Swain
and Dibbles. In their weakened condi-
tion the crimson were no match for their
opponents. and struggle as they would,
they could not stop the mass plays di-
rected at their line.
The Pennsylvania team, as a whole,
deserves universal praise and but little
censure. Every player was star and
there was hearty cooperation which
A. toBc
the crimson line so damaging and their
defense so marvellous. There was very
little skirting, Harvard's ends being too
quick, but Minds, Woodruff. Wharton,
Farrar and Uffenheimer did some Of the
prettiest line bucking ever seen on the
gridiron field. The only dark spot on the
bright surface was Woodruff's disas-
trous tumble when Pennsylvania had
the ball on Harvard's FIVE yard line, but
on the next line up Gilbert forced
Wrightington to make safety. Weeks.
too, must not be overlooked In the mat
ter Of praise for his success in brilliant
dashes into the line, due in great meas
ure to his quick and accurate passing and
excellent judgment.
For Harvard. Cabot, Moulton, Hough-
ton, Dunlop and Wrightington were the
bright, particular stars. The two latter
were the best ground gamers for the
crimson, and Dunlop is directly respons-
ible for Harvard's only touchdown.
Each team penalized twice for off-side
plays, and once Pennsylvania suffered
for foul interference. but outside of this
the game was grand one.
One disagreeable feature of the game
was a long wrangle over the referees
decision in calling Minds back to Har-
wards forty-yard line after he had skirt
ed Harvard's left end for a fifty-yard
run and touchdown. Hickok claimed
Jack had run out of bounds at the forty
yard line and all the kicking of Captain
Wharton availed nothing.
1t is estimated there were from $4,000
to $4,000 persons within the enclosure.
Tonight university students marched
up and down Chestnut and Broad streets
shouting for all they were worth, and
many lively encounters took place be-
tween the followers of the two colleges.
