PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.-well. hero we are
again. Just about to witness another of those
great football contests that history has made
immortal-another OF those splendid gridiron
struggles between Harvard and Pennsylvania,
which in recent years have always been fraught
with deeds and moments of the most supreme
excitement. Philadelphia is football crazy to-
night. Just like New York on the eve of its big
Yaie-Princeton games in the past is the Quaker
City tonight. Everybody is wearing colors, and
1t Is needless to say that they are almost invari-
ably the red and blue OF Pennsylvania.
Tho rich crimson of Harvard will flash more
3auntily tomorrow. when a band of 500 Cam
bridge students will arrive, also u delegation of
Harvard graduates from New York. The clubs.
Motel corridors, cafes. and barrooms are crowded
tonight. and the long fraternity in gem
eral is doing what it can to corner the cheering
commodity that c mes in small glasses. There's
2 hot time in this old town tonight, and thereIl
De another one tomorrow.
The hottest, thing up to date. however. was
almost a free fight in the Broad street station
between about u thousand Pennsylvania stu
dents and twenty policemen. Horace Beck. the
great "rootcr,' assembled a large number OF
band at their head marched down Chestnut
street, showed their shGpcs and the quality OF
their lungs upon stately Broad street, and then
went over to the Broad street station to give q
rousing reception to the = nnSylvaniu team
upon IFS arrival at 6:05 O'Clock from the della
ware Water Gap. The train was n half hour
late, and for an hour Beck and bis students gave
70 tHe hundreds OF passengers who were passing
through the station a most realistic exhibition
OF how college boys can celebrate. The station
never witnessed such u sight. The PASSAGE
ways to the trains were blocked.
Finally n squad of police took it into their heads

pectedly drew their clubs the students went for
them. A couple OF officers were knocked down
