CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. s.-As was ex-
pected Harvard defeated University OF
Pennsylvania on Soldiers Field to-
day without difficulty. but the score
of IL to o was about one-half
Of what was expected. Four times
Harvard was inside of Pennsylvania
tvelve-yard line. but two fumbles. holding
in; the line and a grand brace by the
Qrakers on their own three-yard line kept
Harvard from scoring many additional
points. There were other fumbles by Har-
vsrd during the game not so noticeable or
Sc costly, but nevertheless sufficiently
seFious to make this a discouraging feature
from the Harvard standpoint
With the exception of five minutes in the
first half and less than a minute in the sec
ord half the play was entirely i'm Penn
syvania's territory. so that the Quakers
were on the defensive. And well did they
hold the heavier Harvard team. Every
yard of the field the crimson covered was
orly gained by a tremendous amount OF
physical force. IL was, therefore, disap-
pointing to Harvard hackers to see all this
energy expanded only to be thrown TO the
snds by Il miserable tumble. when the
fruits OF il were almost within reach.
three times in the first half Harvard
started for the Quaker goal. The hrst time
she reached the twelve-yard line, where the
ball went to Pennsylvania for holding.
Next she got within three yards OF the
goal line right under the posts, where
Prtnam fumbled. The third time Harvard
scored, starting from Pennsylvania thirty
yard line and gradually pushing the ball
along until Graydon was dragged across.
Barnard made a miserable failure Tor the
goal. Harvard narrowly missed making 4
safety just after this score. as Putnam
mpffed the ball at the kick of and after
carrying it behind the line just managed TO
get back into the field
The second half was i'm great measure
repetition of the first. At the start Har-
ward banged, plunged, dragged and pushed
until the ball was on Pennsylvania
tylelve-yard line. where there was the
usual tumble, Stillman being the offender
After a punting match Harvard started
again for score and once more got INSIDE
of Pennsylvania five-yard line, again I'M
def the goal posts, but a grand brace by
tho Quakers gave them the ball on downs.
The second score followed soon after TINS
ana was the one spectacular feature or
tho game. From the very center OF the
field Stillman circled Pennsylvania left
ena, and, aided by stonewan interference
raa clear to the goal line. This time Barn
ard managed to kick the goal and the score
OF III to kept SO until the end OF the game.
Except for a fine brace by Pennsylvania.
