~sylvania could win. Columbia's signal
victory over the Quakers In New York last
Saturday was considered a convincing
argument In favor Of a Harvard triumph, for
Harvard three weeks ago had experienced
no trouble In diBposing Of the men coached
by George Foster Sanford. With this idea
prevailing II was not at all strange that
Harvard was a pronounced favorite In the
betting. 8 to 1 To win and 7 TO 10 that the
Quakers would not score. But at that there
was not much betting. for the reason that
Pennsylvanians placed very little faith
In the ability Of their eleven. While II was

game against Columbia, the general belief
was that Woodruff's men would be unable
to withstand the assault OF HarNard's

would startle not only the Harvard players.
but the football world In general. The
Pennsylvania players, themselves. were
not exactly confident Of victory, but at the
same time they were possessed with a de-
termination to play their game to its limit.

and when the motormen put on the power
the football enthusiasts were hanging. on
by all kinds of tackles, Outside the field
there was plenty Of excitement. Ticket
spectators were at work, their lungs IN
fine shape for the occasion. Men with

noise producers were In the way OF the
advancing army and they did a business
that soon filed their pockets with the coin
of the realm. There was little or no com

side of the field Harvard's adherents were
massed in battle array. With crimson
streamers and '~megaphones there were
many thousands Of them and their one wish
was for a decisive victory.
The Harvard cheering, led by Evart
Jansen Wendell. was the usual long drawn

their hearers that IL was OF vital Importance
that the Harvard cheer should be rendered
SLOW" That is always a characteristic
Of Harvard's cheering. so the instructions
were by no means out of place. There is,
in short, a sort of dignity TO Harvard
cheer that does not appear In the yell OF any
other university, but the fact that Harvard
is the dean OF all American institutions
Of learning probably compels this dignity
to hold sway.
Not so with the enthusiasm Of the Pennsyl-
vanians. Headed by the university brass
band the Quakers came marching In, thou
