CHICAGO. Oct 2S.-As the Pennsylvania and
Chicago University football teams surged M
and down muddy Marshall Field this afternoon.
the scene strikingly reminded one ola Harvard
Pennsylvania game OF other years. There were
the maroon-c coated warrior OF the West show
ing all the power OF the best offence the Grim
son Of Cam bridge could ever claim, and there
were the Red and Blue tearing forward with
tho ball and fighting grlmly and successfully

stirring battle. and the score OF touchdown to

The result has been poor playing.

men had played together but very

but good condition owing to their recent
injuries and absence from practice. 1t was
hardly expected that they could last through
two stirring halves. Chicago. on the
other hand. had been playing excellent
football this fall with largely veteran

touchdown by splendid line bucking and held
