Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-Harvard yes
terday afternoon on Franklin field
administered to the university Of
Pennsylvaia one of the most severe
defeats the latter has experienced
since she has been in the front rank
in the football world. Final score:
Harvard, 80; Pennsylvania, 6. Har-
ward scored % points in the first and
IL in the second half, while Pennsy
scored points in the first half. This
single touchdown was the gift Of Mar
shall, Harvard's quarterback, who
fumbled a punt. Once Pennsy was
near enough to Harvard's goal to try
a place kick, but the ball went wide

Rudimentary principles of football
were conspicuous for their absence
from Pennsylvania play. Only once
during the entire 70 minutes did the
Philadelphia eleven show anything
like real football this in the first five

big universities. There were numeT,

times failed utterly. The secret of
the play is for the quarterback to pass
the ball to the halfback, who, just as
he reaches line, turns and strikes the
opposing forwards with his back. At
this juncture the other halfback comes
along and taking the ball dives into
the line in the same manner BY the
time the second halfback got into the
line yesterday he was pinned down be
meath thousand pounds of Drawn
and muscle. Attendance. 10000.

New Haven, Nov. 10.-YaIe started

in the first moments of the game with
the Orange Athletic club team and
rushed it so yards to the first touch
down in short order This process
