HARVARD VS.. PENNSY

Philadelphia holds the center OF the staee
in the foot ball drama today. Harvard
meeting Pennsylvania in the hrst Oh 'he
four biggest games in the east, the other
three being Yale Princeton, Harvard \ aie
and Army vs. Navy. There is little choice
between the Crimson and the Quakers III
form shown so far, both having been uncer-
tain and unsatisfactory. or the two' har
wards playing has been the less CONSISTENT
but to offset this it is believed the Harvard
team has the greater possibilities II IL can
get together and strike the gait OF which
it's material indicates that 1t is capapie'
The Quaker team in it's only big game thus
far, that with Columbia, showed a pro-
nounced tendency to tumble and otherwise
go up in the air. Harvard adherents tnlnk
their team will be cooler than the Quakers
today but, on the other hand, the Penn
sylvanians say the baptism OF defeat re-
ceved from Columbia has had the purify
ing effect needed, that there Will be no
more games lost through becoming rattled,
and they say their material is as good as
Harvard s. Whatever energy and unison
have been shown by the two teams nave
in each case been largely spaSmodic, and
neither has shown the sustained strength In
defense that Yale and Princeton have I'm
less one or both teams take the sudden
brace that sometimes comes to teams-foot
ball teams in particular-today game
promises to be good deal of scramble,
with mistakes by which the more alert side
will profit.
Harvard has bigger ends than Pennsyl-
vania men more useful in breaking up in
reference than their lighter OppoSlteS and
just as fast. but no spryer in following the
ball or heading off plays. The tackles are
pretty we'll matched in point of size and
aggressiveneSS, while in the center Penn
sylvana's trio has displayed more steadl-
thrnn
middle men, Harvard certainly has the
better of the situation at quarter back with
Captain Marshall playing there. Marshall
is a better general than the Pennsylvania
quarter, heavier, more experienced and one
of the best men in the game at running
back kicks. Nichols of Harvard, very
fast half back, also is an adept at running
back kicks and just as fast in scrimmage
work. However, Smith of Pennsylvania
can bring back kicks with a rush, and he
is the hardest line plunger on either team,
a valuable and dangerous man and one who
can stand lots of work. Hurley of Harvard
and Drake Of Pennsylvania are both fairly
good men in the secondary defense School
kopf the Harvard full back is of the heavy
line breaking sort, and Bennett of Pennsyl-
vania, If he plays, Is about as good and
handy an all-around man. If Reynolds
plays behind the line for Pennsylvania he
will tighten the Pennsylvania back field,
but strengthen the kicking department. He
and Lemoyne of Harvard can boot the ball
long distances. In the way OF ndnOllnS
kicks the Harvard backs have done much
the cleaner work, and if the Quakers are
to cope with them in this regard they must
needs have improved materially.
Yale plays Syracuse today and Prince
ton meets Lafayette. Neither Eli nor
Tiger expects more than good practice

mouth and Amherst, and the game In
