seemed to have Harvard on the run, ana theFe
was no reason for kicking as it was only tne NE

OFF SIDE PLAY BEGINS
There followed an exchange of punts in which
Putnam had no advantage. and at the end Of
these exchanges Reynolds landed the leather In
Putnans arms on Harvard's fve-yard line
Gardiner had got UP the field rapidly anu
downed Putnam before he could move. on SIDE
play by Harvard set the bali on her two and
half-yard line and Putnam then punted to the
middle of the field. Howard let it get by him.
and when he picked 1t up he was tackled OF
Penn's forty-yard line and the ball was in
PENIS territory for the first time. Dales nrst
attempt netted twelve yards around Harvard
end and brought the Philadelphia rooters to
their feet in roa-s Of applause. 1t was about the
last flash of playing ability shown by the Penn
team. A series of fumbles followed, Putnam ana
Donaldson being the offenders. and then Har-
ward got the leather and seemed TO have got
, over her stage fright.
The tandem formation. which was used SO
constantly during the game thereafter. was then
called into play. and Graydon went through the
line twice for a total of twenty yards QUITS
added five yards, and then Graydon, at the heaa
Of the tandem crashed through the line for

body but Howard. who dropped him promptly
Putnam tried the left end, but Dale was at
him and threw him hard. Bagden bucked the
line for four yards and Putnam was hurt
While he was recovering the Penn rooters tuned
up in lively fashion. Their team had surprised
them. 1t yet to surprise them in another
and not so pleasant a way.
Another short dash by Blagden in the van of
the tandem brought the ball to Penn's 3-yard
line, and then Graydon was showed over for the
first touchdown.
Cults kicked the goal and the score was .
to o. Goal kicking is a ceremonious process
with Cults. He eyes the recumbent pigskin
with apparent disfavor for actually three min
utes. Then he spends a full minute in planting
his feet properly. Usually the crowd is thor
oughly irritated with all this nonsense before
he gets ready to kick,
Harvard was now thoroughly awake. and
after Reynolds had kicked off once more she
took the ball and never gave 1t UP again until
she had once planted IT across the Penn
syIvania goal line. Pennsylvania tried hard TO
stem this resistless sweep. but her men were
pvgrnies before the crimson giants, and gain
after gain of FIVE, and twenty yards was
made through the feeble Red and Blue line.
The tandem formation used almost eX-
cIusively, and Graydon. Putnam. Ristine and
T-r+t all n carving the ball. When
the leather was on Pennsylvana's line Harvard
tried TO send It the next attempt,
but was held without gain by the Phtladel-
phians That cheered their supporters consider
ably. and their supporters accordingly cheered
them, but the fatal tandem was still in working
order and it sent Graydon over on the next at
tempt Cults kicked another elaborate goal
"PENN's" ONLY TOUCHDOWN.
Then came Pennsylvania only one ray of light.
Reynolds kicked off as before. and Harvard had
worked the ball back nearly to the centre of the
battle-ground. when holding In the line gave the
oval to Pennsylvania. Reynolds kicked immedi-
ately and Marshall muffed the punt on Har-
wards twenty-five yard line. Mitchell, who had
been substituted for Donaldson. was right on
the proper spot caught the ball 1t bounded
from Marshalls arms and was over the line
before anybody could get near HIM Reynolds
punted out TO Davidson, who kicked goal, ana
the score was u to 6 in Harvard's favor
The PENNSYLVANIA cheerers went wild with en-
thusiasm, but Il was only momentary gleafn'
for as soon as Harvard got the ball after an eX-
change of kicks she ran II straight up the field
again and over the line without once giving II
up to Penn. Cults figured as long as usual over
this goal but missed 1t, making the score Ia to D.
CIraydon carried Reynolds'S kick of back
twenty-five yards Ristine failed to gain, as
Teas broke through and threw him heavily. Put
nam punted. and Campbell was UP under the
punt like flash and threw Howard instanta-
neously. Another exchange OF punts left the pail
in Harvard's possession, and after the tandem
had carried it TO Penn's forty-hVe-yard iine
R:stine made the most spectacular play OF the
dav CARRYING the ball forty yards around the
left end behind good interference for the hrst
half Of the distance He stumbled and twisted
and was almost down three or four times. but
he mana ged to get new start each time, and
Davidson and Howard only managed to land
him lust short Of touchdown Graydon again
carried the ball over. Putnam punted out but
the punt was failure, and no further score re-
suited The half ended a few minutes later With
the ball on Harvards twelve-yard line in Penn s
possession Dale having managed to run punt
back twenty-five yards The score at this point
was % TO 6.
The second half was a practical repetition Of
the first except that Penn did not score and
that Harvard's score was smaller because she
had lost some of the energy with which she
started the game. Each team appeared pretty
well blown, and there were many waits Tor IN
turies and several substitutes were brought on
to take the places Of the hurt or the weary;
Soon after the kickoff Penn distinguished her
self by holding Harvard for downs for the first
time Then Mitchell got in his deadly work with
the offside play. No warnings seemed TO sup
nress him. and Harvard simply walked down the
field at his expense. Putnam had the leather
on the 1I-yard line but dropped il. and Howard
fell upon il. a moment later Reynolds failed
TO catch poor pass. and it was Harvard's ball
again Il did not take her long to push it over
again, and goal followed.
Mitchell anxious to get through that
he almost got into fight with Sargent and
there was too much offside play both sides
Penn got the ball soon after the kickoff at the
