tered nv the Lafayette contingent, nave
again been raised to the highest pinnacle.
Alnsl poor Harvard. The few hundred
rooters who came over from Cambridge
TO cheer the crimson on to victory are
sad, and yet they have cause TO rejoice.
Far where in the man, be he ever so parti
san. who would say that the sons of fair
Harvard did not go down with flying
eolors: that they did not die game? Pro
badly $4,000 persons witnessed the game.
Cruel fate seemed TO follow Harvard,
but even in the face Of the most discour-
aging circumstances, they never faltered.
Every man played as though his life de-
pended on the result of the~game. There
was that unision which comes only with
thorough training. each one trying to
help the other. Haryard's defensive
work for time was superb, but the aw-
full battering their line received from the
heavy weights on the Pennsylvania team
began to tell before the first half was
finished, and many delay was occa-
stoned by a crimson warror being
stretched upon the grass.

ington in the second half calling upon his
men to hold them, boys" break it up,
and like expressions.
The line would hold for two, or possibly
three, seconds. The red and blue would
gain.
Harvard's line stood the hattering ram
process Of Pennsylvania for the first half
and il was in this half that the Crimson
made their only touchdown. But in tn

cumb was Johnny Dunlap. who was re
lieyed by Liyermore; then Frank Shaw
got mixed up in scrimmagc and Dou
cette was called on at centre. A few
minutes later Wheeler and Brown were
both injured. and their respective place
were filed by Swain and I9ibble. Wheel
er and Brown did not leave the game un-
til just before time was called. In their
weakened condition the crimson was no
match for their opponents, and struggle
as they would. they could not stop the
mass plays directed at their line.
The Pennsylvania team rs a whole de-
serves universal praise and but little CEN
sure.
Every player was star, and ii was
the hearty cooperation which made
Pennsylvania onslaught upon the
Crimson line so damaging and their de-
Tense so marvellous.
There was very little end skirting,
Harvard's ends being too quick, but
Minds, Woodruff Wharton, Farrar and
Uffenheimer, did some of the prettiest
line buclSing ever seen on a gridiron field.
The only dark spot on the bright sur
face was Woodruff's disastrous tumble
when Pennsylvania had the ball on Har-
wards five-yard line.
For Harvard, Cabot, Moulton, Haugh-
ton, Dunlop and Wrightington were the
bright particular stars. The two latter
were the best ground gamers for the
Crimson and Dunlop was directly res
ponsible for Harvard's only touchdown.
Each team was penalized twice for off
side plays, and once Pennsylvania suf-
fered for foul interference. Tonight
University students marched up and
down Chestnut and Broad streets, shout
ing for all they were worth and many a
lively encounter took place, between the
