PHILADELPHIA Nov. 4.-As had been
anticipated, the University of Pennsyl-
Vania football team was defeated by the
Harvard eleven, by score of 10 TO U, on
Franklin field this afternoon in the pre-
sence of nearly $1,000 spectators. Har-
ward deserved the victory, because she
played the better game. At no time dur
ing the contest did Pennsylvania have
chance to win, and the crimson goal line
was never even for a moment mcnaced
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 whipping, but
the Quakers did not believe they would be
prevented from scoring. Pennsylvania
played her best, which was far below the
Harvard standard.
Harvard started the game brimfull of
confidence. They went at their work like
veterans, and had command of the situa-
tion at all times.
An incident at the close of the game
caused a sensation among the spectators.
When the whistle blew announcing the
close of the game Overfield, Pennsyl-
vania's center rush. 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 recovered
from their surprise they dashed after
the flying Quaker for the purpose of get
ting the ball as trophy. Two or three
Pennsylvania men gave the Harvard men
the shoulder, and one Pennsylvania is
alleged 60 have struck a Harvard man in
the face. a crowd gathered around the
players, and the situation for a moment
looked ugly. George Woodruff, Pennsyl-
vania's head COACH seeing the unsports-
manlike act of OVerfield, FASTENED to Sc
cure the bail 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 a while in
quelling the disturbance and clearing the
field.
AN IDEAL DAY
The day was an ideal one for football
and the crowd was as big as any that
has ever been assembled on Franklin
field. AS early aas u o'clock, when the
gates We're opened, people began stream
ing into the big arena, and by o'clock
there was scarcely a seat left for the
late Corners. The scene was a beautiful
one. Red and blue, and crimson too
were to be seen on every hand, and the
pretty picture was enhanced by the bril-
liant sun. A strong wind blew from the
west, straight down the field, and made
the air refreshing.
Harvard was the first to make an ap-
pearance, and was greeted by a mighty
shout as the team, headed by Capt Bur
den, ran on to the field. The Pennsyl-
Vanias fresh from their three DAYS STAY
at the seashOre. followed their opponents
two minutes later, and the cheering was
renewed. There was a short conference
between the captains the coin was flipped
into the air and the game was on. Capt.
Hare Won the toss, and elected to de-
1end the west goal, with the wind at his
back, thus giving Harvard the kick-ofr
Almost from the start it was evident to
the experts that Harvard would have no
trouble with the Quakers. The Cam
bridge men looked as though they had
been trained to the hour, and there was

of the red and blue showed evidence of
