The custom at foot ball games is that
to the victor belongs the ball. The
Harvard men dashed after the flying
Quaker for the purpose of getting the
ball as a trophy. Two or three Penn
sylvania men gave the Harvard men
the shoulder and one Pennsylvanian is
alleged to have struck a Harvard man
in the face A crowd gathered around
the players, and things for moment
/ looked ugly, George Woodruff, Penn
/ sylVania's coach, FASTENED to secure the
ball from Overfeld, and made the lat
ter apologize to the Harvard men. Sew
erai men who got mixed up in the
crowd started smuggling each other, and
the police had a hard time in quelling
the disturbance and clearing the field.
CROWD A RECORD-BREAKER.
The day was an ideal one for foot
ball, and the crowd was as big as any
that has ever been assembled on Frank
lin field. The scene was a beautiful
one. Red and blue and the crimson
too, was to be seen on every hand, and
the pretty picture was enhanced by the

and made the air freshening. The
Harvard eleven first appeared, and was
greeted by a mighty shout as they ran
on to the field The Pennsylvanians
followed two minutes later and the
cheering was renewed.

though they had been trained to the

Pennsylvania, on the other hand, APP
peared rather sluggish and a number of
the red and blue men showed evidences
of weakness as they had ankles tied
up and wrists bandaged Harvard
played a beautiful game all the way
through. Her team work was perfec-
ton. both on the defense and offense.
LINE IMPROBABLE.
Her line was .impregnable, Pennsyl-
vania being unable to make any gain
through it. Pennsylvania's line also
held well, but not so well as the
Crimsons. Harvard made most of her
gains around Pennsylvania S ends. es-
peciallyAthe left one which was very
weak. In the end runs, Sawin was
almost invariably used, and he seldom
failed to gain. Harvard's tricks did not
do much good, and the touchdowns
were made on plunges and rushes. Har-

ragged Wallace should have made a
touchdown in the first half on splendid
plunge through the line and short
run. Both 4teams were guilty of con-
siderable flimbling but there were no
disastrous results from this. Kendall
made the first touchdown for Harvard.
The ball was fumbled by Pennsylvania
on Pennsylyania's 20-yard line, and
Harvard secured it. A series of plays

where the Crimson men were held and
Reid attempted field goal, which was
blocked Outland got the ball for Penn

and this, ball was down on Pennsylva-

THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN.
Then Harvard began an attack on
Pennsylvanias line. and with few
short end runs, was enabled to take
the ball over the line. The kick out went
wide. Harva1d's second touchdown was
made in short order In the second half.
Harvard secured the ball on Pennsyl-
vania's 30-yard line, and additional
gain made The gains were short but
sure and the ball was finally forced over
the goal line j. Lawrence Kicked the
goal and made the score. Haryard211 /;
