this. the play in the first half was
fairly even In the second half, Penn

out, carried it up to Harvard's goal
posts three separate times, and out
played 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 a desperate stand, but Penn
sylvania swept the crimson rush line
away and foot by foot the red and
blue bored its way towards Harvard's
goal.
The physical condition of the men Of
the two teams was most marked
Throughout the game, at almost every
scrimmage, a Harvard man would be
stretched out hurt, and before they
were called the Cambridge men had
substituted four players for the ones
who started. Pennsylvania, on the
contrary, had but one man hurt
throughout the game, and he speedily
recovered. Further, Pennsylvania was
playing with greater dash and energy
when they were finally called than
when they began the game, while
Harvard's men seemed played almost
to a standstiH. Harvard scored its
six points on a touch down, and a goal
in the first half and Pennsylvania
made it's eight in the second half from
a safety touchdown, a touchdown and
a goal. The frequent injuries to the
Harvard men drew the first half out
to an hours tine.

season presented the full strength of

Harvard's favorite trick was
double pass between the backs, and
this worked successfully number of
times. Beale would pass the ball to
one of the backs and the man receiv-
ing it would start with it and be met
by one of the other backs, who would
take it from him and be off like a
flash. Pennsylvania ends and line
