The San Francisco call., 1896-11-22

from the field from Harvard's 20-yard
line, and missed it by couple OF yards.
During the half the Harvard men en-
couraged their men with the hope OF
victory, and praised them ior the work
they had done. Over in Pennsylv ania's
quarters a different scene was taking
place.
Pennsylvania coaches IN no gentle Ian
guage were berating the men for their
Slow play and futile attempts to advance
the ball. That what was said to them had
its effect was speedily shown. Woodruff
returned the kick TO Brown on Harvard S
50-yard line. An exchange of kicks be-
tween Brown and Minds followed, but
with little gain to either man. Finally
Pennsylvania sent the ball on Its 40-yard
line. Then the Quakers gave wonderful
exhibition of line-bucking. They used
their famous guards back" interference
with fearful effect on Harvard's line.
Wharton, Woodruff, Minds and Uffen-
helmer plunged through the crimson line
again and again. The Quakers found a
big hole between Wheeler and Bouve and
sent their runner between these two men
many times. Harvard was fghdng with
desperation. Nothing, however, could
stem the fierce rush of the Pennsylvania.
Chalkline after chalkline the Quakers con-
quered.
Every Pennsylvania in the stands was
greatest capacity of his lungs as the ball
approached the crimson goal line. At
last Pennsylvania had the ball inside of
Harvard's fiye-yard line without having
lost it once. The next time it looked ike
Pennsylvania touchdownsure. The ball
was passed 10 Woodruff to carry over.
The next seee of it the pigskin appeared
above the mass of struggling men. A
groan went up from Pennsylvania. A
tumble and a touchdown was lost. AS the
ball came down Wheeler seized it and
Rugged it close to his breast as he was
thrown two yards from his goal line. The
two teams lined up. Pennsylvania was
wild with disappointment, and as Beale
passed the ball to Wrightington the Penn
sylvania Tushers tore through the Harvard
line ana were on Wrightington like raving
wolves.
The Harvard captain was picked up and
hurled back of the goal line for safety
touchdown, and Pennsylvania had scored
two points. Dunlop and big Frank Shaw
had been hurt and forced to leave the field.
Livermore and Doucette took their places.
brown kicked out and again Pennsylvania
resumed their furious assault on the
Harvard line. On Haryard's 40-yard line
Minds made the star play of the day.
The guards were hurled at Harvard's line
as if it was the iptention to buck, and as
the Harvard men massed themselves
w OOQS pdSSeQ luG Odlt away OdCk W
Minds. Minds dashed around Harvard's
right end, avoided the outstretched hands
of Haughton and sped away for the goal.
Brown made despairing clutch at Minds
and partially grabbed him by one leg.
Minds tell, but shaking himself clear car
ried the ball across the goal line. Then to
the rage and disappointment OF the
Quakers Referee Hickok ordered the ball
10 be brought back, owing to Minds having
run out of the bounds.
There was a delay of twenty minutes
while the point was disputed by Captain
Wharton. Finally Wharton gave in and
Pennsylvania again hammered the ball
up TO Harvard's l0-yard line. Here they
lost 1t on quarterback kick, which went
behind Rarvard's goal, Brown falling on
the ball. There was still ten minutes
play, but it was growing so dark that the
PLAYERS could hardly be distinguished
from the stands. Harvard kicked out
again and Pennsylvania seized the ball
on the 50-yard line. Grim and desperate,
with defeat staring them in the face, the
Quakers again be an the weary and furi-
Gus assault on the Harvard line. Harvard
was weakening under the savage on
slaught. In vain were the crimson's
efforts to stop the Quakers' rush. Right
up to Harvard's 2-yard line was the bail
once again carried. 1t was the first down
and Minds tried the center for no gain.
The mud -besmeared men sprang to their
feet. Painting like some over-driven beast
they crouched shoulder to shoulder
AGAINST each other upon the ground.
Back came the ball, smash went Wood ruff
into the Harvard line. For few brief
seconds the straining. struggling mass of
men kept their feet and then rolled over
the Harvard goal line. Then pandemo-
mum broke loose in the Pennsylvania
stand, when the men dragged off
each other, and Woodruff was seen
to be lying beside the Harvard
goal posts with the bali. In that
last desperate assault and resistance
Wheeler and Brown were left lying half
conscious upon tie ground, and they were
carried off to the side lines, Swayne and
Dibblee taking their places. Woodruff
easily kicked the goal, and from that time
on, for the few minutes remaining OF play
Harvard spent its last strength in resist
ing the assaults of Pennsy lvania. When
time was called the Quakers had again
carried the bail up as far as Harvard's
twenty-yard line.
For Harvard Cabot, Moulton and the
backs played star games. Wheeler in the
first half for Harvard did good work.
Boyle for Pennsylvania was Moultons
equal at END, and in the second half the
entire Pennsylvania team played as a
unit and simply swept Harvard from their
feet.
OuS man SUOOQ out ABOVE all the others
OF the two teams Tor his magnificent play
ing. This was Captain Wharton. Whar-
ton never gave grander exhibition of
football than he did to-day. he held his
men in line, seldom failing to gain his
distance, and his tackling away out on the
ends was remarkable. Harvard to-day
closed the football season of 1896 in de-
feat and disaster. But Pennsylvania has
