PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. = As had
been anticipated, the University or
Pennsylvania football team was de-
feated by the Harvard eleven in
score of l6 to on Franklin field this
afternoon in the presence of nearly 25-
600 spectators. The weather was per-
feet for a football game. Harvard de-
served the victory. because she played
the better game At no time during
the contest did Pennsylvania have a
chance to win, and the crimson goal
line was never even for a moment men
aced by the players Of the red and
blue.
There were no sensational plays, and
the game was an ordinary Ole all
through Pennsylvania went into the
contest with the expectation of getting
a whipping, but the Quakers did not
believe they would be prevented from
scoring.
Harvard played a beautiful game
all through. Her team work was per-
lection itself, both on the defensive and
the offensive. Her line was impreg-
nable, Pennsylvania being unable TO
make any gain through it. Pennsylva-
Mas line also held well, but not so we'll
as the crimson. Harvard made most
of her gains around Pennsylvania 5
ends, especially the left end, which was
very weak. In the end runs Swain was
almost invariably used, and he seldom
failed to gain.
Harvard's tricks did not do much
good, and the three touchdowns were
made on a combination of plunges and

showed up well. 1t formed quickly, and
was not easily broken up. On the other
hand. Pennsylvania were rather rag
ged, and in one instance if the Quakers'
interference had formed more rapidly
than it did Wallace would have made
a touchdown in the first half on a
splendid plunge through the line and
a short run.
Both teams were guilty of consider
able fumbling, but there were no dis
astrous results from his misplay.
An incident at the close of the game
caused a sensation among the spec
tators. When the whistle blew an
nouncing the close Of the game Over
field, Pennsylvania center lush,
snatched the ball and made for the
dressing-room on a dead run. The
custom at football games is that to
the victor belongs the ball. When the
Harvard men had recovered from their
surprise they dashed after the flying
Quaker for the purpose of getting the
ball as trophy. Two or three Penn
sylvania men gave the Harvard men
the shoulder and one Pennsylvania
man is alleged to have struck a Har-
ward man in the face. A crowd gath
cred around the players, and the STU
alton for a moment looked ugly. George
Woodruff, Pennsylvania head coach
seeing the unsportsmanlike act of Over
field, FASTENED to secure the ball from
him, and made him apologize to the
offended Harvard men. Several men
who got mixed up in the crowd started
smuggling one another, and the police
had a hard time for awhile in aueiline
the disturbance and clearing the field
