QUAKtRs BEATEN BY HARVARD
CAMBRIDGE TEAM SCORES
THREE ToUCHDowNs.
Harvard Played Better Game All
Through and Pennsy Stood No
Show at ALI.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-As had beer
anticipated the University of Pennsyl-
vania football team was defeated by
the Harvard eleven in a score of 16 to
0 on Franklin field this afternoon, in the
presence of nearly $4,000 spectators. The
weather was perfect for football. Har-
ward deserved the victory because she
played the better game. At no time
during the contest did Pennsylvania
J have a chance to win, and the crimson
goal line was never even for a moment
menaced by the players of the red and
blue.
There were no sensational plays and
the game was an ordinary one all
through.
pennsylvania went into the contest
with the expectation of getting a whip
ping, but the Quakers did not believe
they would be prevented from scoring.
Harvard played beautiful, game all
through. Her team work was perfec-
tion itself. both on the defense and the
oifenSe. Her line was impregnable,
Pennsylvania being unable to make
any gain through it. Pennsylvania's
line also held well. but not so well as
the crimson. Harvard made most of
her gains around Pennsylvania ends,
especially the left end, which was very
weak. In the end runs Swain was al
most invariably used, and he seldom
failed to gain. Harvard's tricks did mott
do much good and the three touch
downs were made on a combination of
piunges and runs. Harvard's Interior
ence also showed up well. 1t formed
quickly and was not easily broken up
On the other hand, Pennsylvania We're
rather ragged and in one instance if the
QuakerS' interference had formed more
rapidly than it did. Wallace would have

a splendid plunge through the line and
a short run. Both teams were guilty
of considerable fumbling. but there
were no disastrous results from this
misplay.
An incident at the close of the game
caused sensation among the specta-
tors. When the whistle blew announc
ing the close of the game Overield.
Pennsylvania'S center rushed, snatched
the ball and made for the dressing room
on dead run The custom at football
games is that to the victor belongs the
ball. When the Harvard men had re-
covered from their surprise they dashed
after the flying Quaker for the purpose
OF getting the ball as a trophy. Two
or three Pennsylvania men gave the
men the shoulder and one
pennsylvania man is alleged to have
struck Harvard man in the face. A
crowd gathered around the players and
the situation for moment looked ugly. |
