largest crowd that ever witnessed foot
ball game in this city the University Cf
PENNSYLVANIA foo ball eleven this after
noon, on Franklin Fieid defeated the Har-
ward team by a score of 15 10 6. 1t was
not a sensational game. There were but
few good runs, the 55.yard dash'of Parker
ard Jackson 25.vard run being the only
ones of moment.
The playing was fierce. but not unneces.
sariIy vicious; hard but clean. 1t was a
battle OF The giants, and by to-day's VIC
tory over the crimson Pennsylvania has
gained the top round OF the football lad
der and holds undisputed possession.
A surging mass of humanity crowded
about the many entrances TO Franklin
Fiell. There were hat;-doZen admission
gates, and Notwithstanding that the ar
rangements were of the best it was nearly
2:30 before the last enthusiast was seated
IN the huge amphitheater.
1ns.d the grounds the sight was beau
tiful and aspiring one. When it is tax en-
Ito consideration that the seating capac-
ity OF the grounds Is almost q, 600; that
999 olt of every 1000 persons either carried
& red and blue or Il crimson flag, or wore
oo.ors OF ore or the other of the big col
leres In some consp cuous pace, then the
beauty of the scene may be imagined.
As the game progressed the sympa-
thzers of both Harvard ard Pennsylvania
were given annie opportunity 10 use their
lungs and wave theis flags.
Harvard started the game without the
serv ces OF Captain Cabot, Richardson TAX.
ing his place at left end. Swain, who
played against Va g at lett tackle, was re-
plac b. Wheeler, Mills ard Houghton
al:ernated in Donald's position at right
tackle ant Warrens Tost-ion at right ha f.
back was ably flied by Parker.
The Harvard team as a whole PLAYED
good f o;ball, but the Pennsylvania
played better. In D.bblee and Parker
Harvard had two fine halfbacks, ana had
HarvaTd's line be d as it should have
done the crimSon-i lacks would have Eeen
dangerous for Pennsylvania. On the ends
the Cam bridge men showed none of the
slowness In getting down the field which
characterized the pay at Cam Jridge on
Saturday. They were faster lnan either
Boyle or Hedges. At center Over field
toye1 with The heavy Douceite, and Hare
more than held his own against Bouve OF
Harvard. Mills and Houehton we're
alternateI at right tackle and fulbach.
For the crimson Dibblee and Parker
were easily the stars, and Garrison also
did good work. Parker's run of fifty I'VE
yards was made on the delayed double
pass, but 1t never should have been made,
as ne was missed by three men, Weeks
Morice and Minds.
For Pennsy ylvaDia. Hare, Minds, Hedges
and McCracken, all did good work. Hare s
taking Il the ends was easily the best
wOIk seen on FrankliniFi-ld this season.
The line bucking OF Hare, Minds and Nc
Cracken. when they carried the bail from
uarvard's goal. was one OF the grandest
exhibItions eyer seen in this city. Both
teams we're guilty CT bad fun bling. Two
OF Pennsylvania fum bles cost the loss of
two touchd owns. Harvard's FUN bies were
more numerous, but less disastrous.
The game was won on its merits, and it
is The general opinion that Pennsylvania
followers are making night hidcous on
the business thorougnfaIes with TIN horns
and college yels.

Mills was injured in the next scrimmage,
but resumed play. Then there was an.
other kicking match, and finally it was
Pennsylvani4's ball on her own 30-yard
line, and here began one of she greatest
exhibitions of Ene- bucking that has ever
been witnessed in this city. Hare was
