GREAT FOOTBALL DAY.
WHERE TWO BIG ,GAMEs ARE PLAYED.



harvard, dawned most unfavorbaly.The
lowerlug clouds threatened rain at
.trost any moment. There was scarce
il, enough wind to rufile the long blue
and crimson streamers which gayly
decorated the buildings in the business
section of the city.
But no matter the weather, there will
be nearly 10000 cranks risk sciatca
and pneumonia rather than miss the
rame That they will see battle
Tovul, there can be little doubt. The
ess OF today's game by Pennsylvania
In ctse Princeton should defeat Yale
would place the red and blue in fourth
ashton among the football colleges,
md this the Quakers Will fight bitterly
to prevent.
Then. too, Harvard has the tie game
with Yale, which is virtually acknowl-
edfed as a blue victory, to wipe out,
nnd the wenrers of the crimson VIII
fight to the last ditch in order to re-
deem themselves.
Pennsylvania s team, with the excep-
ton oil Dickson, right end, Is intact.
Dcksons position on the eleven Will
be filed by Hedges, and 1t Is an open
question as to which is the better man.
The remainder of the eleven Is in the
mink OF condition.
ON the Harvard team things are
different. 1t was given out this morn
lug that neither of the tackles who
played against ale will start in the
game. swain Will be replaced at left
tackle by Wheeler ana Mills and
Houghton will alternate at right side
of lifeline instead of Donald. Mills will
play the position on the defense,
. Houshton playing the full-back.
| HOughton will drop back to the catch
| Ing, but Mills Will do the running with
j. the ball. Aoulton will start in at right
p end, but it is doubtful about Captain
/ cabot going into the game. Just why
| this state Of affairs exists Is not eN
planned by Harvard's coacher. Moul-
TOMS injuries are said to be more ser
iOus than Cnbots but the latter has
not shown his true form this season,
Oh this account RICHARDSON IL down TO:
ieft end. Quarter back Wilson VIII
have sole direction of the team.
A comparison of the two teams shows
Pennsylvania shade stronger and
4 this with the encouragement the red
and blue viii receive from their rooters
should land the game for the Quakers.
Notwithstanding dozens of extra
ars We're run to Franklin field, there
l was a lam mt every street crossing.
4 AZ the field there was another terrible
crush. There were half a dozen en-
4 frances to the grounds but everybody
wanted to go through the gates at
1 the same time and there was strug-
l Cling mass of humanity reaching for
4 almost two blocks Never before in
! the history of Philadelphia has there
4 been such n crowd at football game.
When the teams lined up. there were
about $1,000 persons in the big amphi-
theater a few minutes before
| o'clock II was announced that Captain
| Cabot would not play.
