Cambridge, Nov. 5.-Harvard won the
great football game on Soldiers field this
afternoon by her superior kicking and her
ability to check Pennsylvania guard
back formation and to turn to advantage
the miserable fumbling of the Quakers'
backs. The score was 10 TO 0.
Harvard finished the game in good con-
dition and strongly aggressive to the very
last play. In the marVelouSly short time
of 10 seconds after the game began, Har-
ward had scored through Coombs' tumble
on the kickoff, while IN the second half
a beautiful goal from the field by Burnett
on a place kick added another five points
to the score and clinched the game for
the crimson.
While DAILY, Warren and Dibble were
not only sure in catching Hares' kicks
but as a rule succeeded in making 10 to
20 yards on the run-baek, COombs, Harri-
son, Mcmahon and even Outland seemed
absolutely unable to either judge the
punts or catch them cleanly when the ball
was apparently in their hands.
Pennsylvania s tackles. Goodman and
Garrett, were altogether too lively in get
ting through and mailing Dibble, and the
ends broke up the interferences surpris-
ingly well. This was, perhaps, the only
discOuraging feature of the game from
a Harvard point of view. for Yale's tack
les, whom Harvard is to meet two weeks
hence are acknowledged to be superior
to those of Pennsylvania.
AS Harvard held to kicking tactics dur
ing the greater part of the game the ball
was for more than three-quarters of the
time in her opponents hands.
Although Harvard'S defense was sur
prising in strength, the Pennsylvania line
was certainly of the finest character. Har-
ward was strong behind the line. for, al
though her backs were nailed frequently,
they ran with far better judgment than
their opponents.
1t was at quarter that Harvard out
classed Pennsylvania and showed in Daily
one of the best quarter-backs ever seen
in Cambridge While it cannot be said,
perhaps. that Harvard owed her victory
to Daily. it must be acknowledged that
but for the sure tackling of the stubborn
little quarterback, two or three of the
Quakers who broke through the line
would have scored. Pennsylvania ends
were strong and sure. but Farley, who
went in for Cochrane in the second half
was superior to either.
