Pennsylvania Wins From Harvard
Score IS to 8.

Philadelphia, Nov 2O.-The day for
the annual foot ball battle between the
University of Pennsylvania and Har-
ward dawned most unfavOrably.
Notwithstanding that the street car
lines leading to Franklin field had
placed dozens of extra cars on these
branches, the arrangements were Who'll
ly inadequate. There was a jam at ev-
cry street corner. At the field there
was another terrible crush. There was
half a dozen entrances to the
grounds, but everybody wanted to go
through the gates at the same time,
and there was a struggling mass of
humanity reaching for almost two
blocks. Never before in the history of
Philadelphia has there been such a
crowd at a foot ball game.
The sun, which had been obScured
all morning, broke through the clouds
at noon, making the day an ideal one
for foot ball. The grand stands, which
completely encircled the sward, were
one mass of red and blue flags, red and
blue rosettes and crimson. The Uni
VerSity of Pennsylvania players spent
the morning lettering about their quar-
ters, while the crimson men took a
short walk and then lounged about the
hotel until 1:3O, when they took coach
es for Franklin field. When the teams
lined up there were about $4,000 per-
sons in the big amphitheater. A few
minutes before o'clock it was an
nounced that Capt. Cabot would not
play The teams lined up as follows:
