UNIVERSITY OF PENNsYLvANIA
BEATS HER AT FOOT BALL.


The Score I5 to @ i'm Favor of the
Keystone state EIeven-The Game
Marked by Only Two Runs worthy
of MentiOn-The Playing Fierce,
But Not Unnecessarily Vicious.
The Game Watched by $4,000
Spectators.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 2.-Before the
largest crowd that ever witnessed foot
ball game in this city. the University Of
Pennsylvania foot ball eleven this after
noon, on Franklin field. defeated the Har-
ward team by the score of Is to 6.
1t was not a sensational game. Theirs
were but few runs. the hfty-hve-yard
dash Of Parker and JacSsons twenty-hve-
yard being the only ones of moment. The
playing was fierce, but not unnecessarily
vicious; hard, but clean. It was a battle
of the giants, and by to-day's victory
over the Crimson, Pennsylvania has gain
ed the top-round Of the foot ball ladder,
and holds undispuled possession.
There were half dozen admission gates.
and Notwithstanding that the arrange
ments were of the best, il was nearly 2:S0
O'Clock before the last enthusiast was
seated in the huge amphitheater inside the
grounds. The sight was a beautiful and in
spring one. When 1T is taken into con-
sideration that the seating capacity OF
the grounds is almost 25,OOO that 999 out of
every 1000 persons carried either a red
or blue. or crimson flag. or wore the eos-
ors of one or the other of the big coils
leges in some conspicuous place, then the
beauty Of the scene can be imagined
AS the game progressed the sympathlz-
ers Of both Harvard and Pennsylvania
We're given ample opportunity to use theIr
lungs and wave their flags 1t was Penn
syvania's call when Capt. Jack Minds, by
a beautiful effort sent the bali spinning
between Harvard's goal. Then came the
Crlmsons opportunity, and when little
Parker got by Weeks Morice and Minds
for beautiful run Of ffty-hve yards and
q touchdown the Crimson shouters made
the huge grand stand on the north side
of the field shake with their cheers
Harvard started the game without the
services of Capt. Cabot, Richardson TAX.
ing his place at the left end Swain, who
played against Yale al left tackle, was
replaced by Wheeler; Mills and Houghton
alternated In Donald's position at right
tackle, and Warren's position at right half
back was ably filled by Parker.
The Harvard team, as a whole, played
good foot ball, but the Pennsylvania play
ed better In Dibblee and Parker, Har-
ward had two fine half backs, and, had
Harvard's s line held as 1t should have done.
the Crimson backs would have been dam
gerous for Pennsylvania. on the ends the
Cambridge men showed none of the slow
ness in getting down the field, which
characterized the play at Cambridge on
Saturday They were faster than either
Boyle or Hedges. AT center Overfleld toy
ed with the heavy Doucette, and Hare
more than held his own against Bouve of
Harvard. Mills and Houghton were alter
mated at right tackle and full back.
For the Crimson Dibbee and Parker were
easily the stars and Garrison also did good
work Parker's run of ffty-fiye yards
was made on the delayed double pass, but
1t never should have been made, as he was
missed by three men, Weeks, Morice and
Minds.
For Pennsylvania, Hare, Minds, Hedges
and McCracken all did good work Hares
tackling on the ends was easily the best
work seen on Franklin field this season.
The line bucdng of Hare, Minds and Mo-
Cracken when they carried the ball from
Pennsylvanla's thirty-yard line down to
within ten yards OF Harvard's goal, was
one of the grandest exhibitions ever seen
in this city Both teams were guilty of
bad fumbling. Two OF Pennsylvania's
fumbles cost them the loss of two touch
downs HarVard'S fumbles were most
numerous, but less disastrous.
The game was won ON It's merits and ID
Is the general opinion that PENNSYLVANIA
outplayed the Cambridge boys
Tonight the Pennsylvania followers are
making night hideous on the business thor-
oughfares with tin horns and college yells.
