HARVARD TOO STRONG
CONFIDENT QUAKERs COULD NOT
SCORE AGAINST THE
CRIMSON
GOAL IN FIFTEEN SECONDS

Tumble by the PennsyIvanians
-Qunkers Outpunted and All
Their New Moves Checkmated by
the Men From Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 5.-Har-
ward Won the great football game on
Soldiers field this afternoon by her
superior kicking and her ability to
check Pennsylvania's guards back for
nation, and to turn to advantage the
miserable .funnbling of the Quakers'
backs. The score was 10 to 0. 1t was
hard, clean game, fiercely contested
from start to finish, Astounding in ex-
citing and brilliant plays. Harvard
finished the game in good condition,
and strongly aggressive to the very
last play.
In the marvelously short time of fif-
teen seconds after the game began,
Harvard had scored through Coombs'
tumble in the kickoff, while in the
second half beautiful goal from the
field by Burnett on a place kick add
ed another five points to the score, and
cllrched the game for the Crimson.
DAILY and Dibblee were not only sure
in catching Hare's kicks and, as a rule,
succeeded in making fifteen to twenty
Harrison, Mcmahon and even Outland
seemed absolutely unable to either
judge the punts or catch them Clearly
when the ball was apparently in their
hands.
When Harvard realized that the
Pennsylvania backs had not the faint
est knowledge of handling punts, run
ming with the ball was almost aban-
doned, especially in the second half.
Dibblee and DAILY did some of the pref
test lodging ever seen at Cambridge,
but it was only after catching punts
that they made their most thrilling
runs, for the attempts at encircling
eitker end resulted almost invariably
in only a Slight gain and at times in
actual losses. Pennsylvania tackles,
Goodman and Garrett, were altogether
too lively in getting through and nail
ing Dibblee and the ends broke up the
interferences surprisingly well. This
was, perhaps, the only discouraging
feature of the game from Harvard
point of view, for Yale's tackles, whom
Harvard is to meet two weeks hence,
are acknowledged to be superior to
those of Pennsylvania. On the other
hand Boal and Reid plunged into the
hitherto stone wall center of Pennsyl-
vania, and in the first half the neces-
sary distance was gained four times
in succession, only to be lost by Dib-
blee's futile attempts to circle the ends.
IDEAL DAY FOR SOME.
From the spectators point of view
football weather. The warm Indian
summer air. with no life in 1t, made
playing the most exhausting sort Of
work, and two Harvard men and one
Pennsylvania player were forced to
oriTy % ro1 10, 81
benefited, however, more by the
change than Pennsylvania, for Burnett
took the place of the exhausted Jaffray,
and a few minutes afterward kicked a
goal AS Harvard held to kicking tao
tics during the greater part of the
game, the ball was for more than three
quarters Of the time In her opponent 8
hands, and the Quakers, in their frantic
efforts to advance the pigskin, showed
in rapid succession every one of their
famous plays The quarterback kick,
the delayed pass and the guards bach
were tried one after the other from
the very first, and while one or two of
these would gain, Harvard not only
managed to fathon them all before
the game was very far along, but also
either stopped them without gain or
succeeded In throwing the runner for o
loss. The very first time the quarter
DdCh KICK was CTleQ, f1dllOW6ll, instead
of FolWell, caught the ball and made
ten yards. Outland time and time again
was sent far behind the line on the de-
layed pass. Harvards center stood the
hammering by Hare and McCracken,
reinforced by three other Quakers, sur
priSingly well, and Coacher Whitcomb
saw his own favoTite play broken up.
Throughout Harvard's defense was sur
prising in its strength, yet the Penn
sylvania line was unbroken. The first
plunge of Hare and Boal and the ma e.
nificent running Of Dibblee carried the
ball to the Quakers' hirty-fve-yard
line, and Burnett, for lack of time
kicked the ball from the field. The
crowd was delighted with the kicking
in the game.
PENNSYLVANIA OUTPUNTED.
From the first part of the game
Hare's low kicks had more power in
them than Haughton's high punts. as
Pennsylvania was squarely ,outpunted,
and two of his attempts were squarely
blocked while Harvard's kicks were
smooth and in the end had lots ot
strength. 1t was at quarter that Har-
ward outclassed Pennsylvania, and
showed In DAILY one of the best quar-
terbaoks ever seen in Cambridge. Ha
ran the team with remarkable judg-
ment and was surprisingly quick in
discerning Pennsylvania's weak points.
While 1T cannot be said, perhaps. that
Harvard owed her victory to DAILY. It
must be acknowledged that but for the
superior tackling of the stubborn little
quarterback, two or three of the Quak-
ers, who broke through the line, would
have scored. Pennsylvania's ends were
strong and sure, but Farley, who went
in for Cochrane in the second half.
