Last week saw Il surprise in the turbu-
lent football world in the downfall OF
Pennsylvania before Harvard, Which fat
tened it's point score by Is with an addi-
ton OF zero to the 10 points which were
scored against the Cambridge men by
the Indians in the first game of the sea-
son. All the big elevens, with the ex-
reption of Williams, Columbia. Cornell
and the University of Chicago, played
ON Saturday., and the day was noisy in
a dozen different cities with the shouting
of the students. The point list up to date
shows that Harvard has by far the best
of it, though it should be kept in mind
that the Crimsons have not met a worthy
foe since the game with the Indians. The
fact that the Indians scored 10 points
in the first game and the Quakers could
get nothing in the latest shows how we'll

Pennsylvania has ISL points for. to IL
against. Saturdays game hurt the per-
centage irremediably. Yale has but five
points chalked, against its stalwart
eleven. and a credit list of 1873, and his

Harvard and nine by the Quakers. COL

against the weare1s of the blue.

inauspiciously, are holding their OWN.
They sweetened their point list by 80 in
the game with Hamilton and lost no
points. Amherst, West Point and Lee
high are overbalanced and have failed to
score as often as their opponents. They
are minus quantities. It will be inter-
esting from now on to watch the point
list. Harvard has sworn to atone for the
Indian 1O-point massacre by keeping the
black marks down to tina figure, and
Yale is equally determined that Column
bias five shall stand in proud isolation.
According to the New York Telegraph,
intercollegiate football rules Will require
a. iudicious amendation with copious eX-
tracts from the titled Queensberry's ring
rules if the practice of fighting after a
game which was ~inaugurated by Harry
ard and Pennsylvania at Philadelphia
Saturday is generally followed. The
Crimsons had scored | against Pennsy
while the gentler Qualsels had a large
zero to their credit. But it was not un-
til the finish that football was made sec
ondary to ~scrapping.

Overfield Of Pennsy ran away with it

Overlield used running tactics and jump

had to club the mob of the field. Penn

1t was just before the end Of the las
round that 'Spike.' managed to admin
lister a knockout blow on Young's jaw
Young greatly surprised those presen'
by staying as long as he did. as they
thought he was going to prove anothel
easy mark, like Billy Ernst. Jerome
Quigley and Jimmy Murray. and ac

not last ten rounds.
Young held Sullivan pretty even TO
the first dozen rounds, but during tn
next three rounds Young was very veal

Knockout several times, but was unable
to finish him. From this to the goth roun'

1t goes without saying that Tom shar

it is questionable if the sailor will ge
