CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 3.-Harvard
won a most satisfactory victory over the
University Of Pennsylvania Soldiers
Field this afternoon, and the crimson is
now a warm favorite for the Yale game at
New Haven, just three weeks hence. That

figures, at least victory by a comfortable
margin. All this was apparently based on

a goodly part, If not all the credit of the
crimson victory rests on the coolheaded-
ness of Captain DAILY. AT the same time
too much cannot be said of the other
leader, Captain Hare. On the whole, how
ever, the Pennsylvania team was a disap-
pointment. Pennsylvania weakest points
were her tackles and ends. Harvard
scored in fifteen minutes after the game
started, principally by brilliant runs by
center. Ten minutes after Hare's kick
from the twenty-five-yard line was blocked,
and Lawrence fell on the bali for the Sec

With the score IL to c in their faces,
Pennsylvania made a fine brace in the
second half, and a Harvard tumble, with
some on-Side play by Hallowell, put them
on the crimson eignt-yard line.
On the very first play Halowell was neat
ly boxed up and Hare went over the line
for Pennsylvania only score, but lmme-
diately afterward missed the goal. Soon
after this Hare once more electrified the
red and blue crowd by a grand forty-yard
run around Harvard's right end, and Penn
Sylvania began to feel quite cheeful. Then
came some fumblng and the squelching
of the guards back formation, which gave
the ball to Harvard downs. In the ex-
change of kicks which followed Daily sent
every crimson supporter to his feet by one
of the most brilliant runs of the game,
eyading the entire Pennsylvania team
until after he had covered over fifty yards.
This took the life out of the Penn
sylvania team, although they made fine
stand and succeeded in preventing Har-
ward scoring after the crimson had reached
within striking distance of their goal. and
the game ended with the ball in Harvards
possession on the Pennsylvania five-yard
line.
