Harvard eeta a surprlse.

The crimson of Harvard and the
red and blue of the University of
Pennsylvania met in their annual
struggle on Soldiers field, Cambridge,
Harvard winning by the small score
of IL to 0.
The outcome was one of the biggest
surprises of the football season, as
Pennsylvania was previously rated
only as a second class team, in fact, as
being wholly unable to cope with the
burly giants on the Harvard eleven.
The red and blue was outweighed in
every line position, with the exception
of left end, where Bowditch, Harvard,
was -four pounds lighter than his OPP
ponent. Big. heavy giants were the
crimson linemen, but they were giants
In size only, as they lacked the
strength to toss their lighter oppo-
nents about. The lighter men did
fearful execution, and by their rapid
ity and fearlessness smashed the
heavy Harvard offense into smither-
Gems before it struck the line. Time
and time again Harvard was held for
downs during the two exciting peri
DDS. and had Pennsylvania any sort of
an offense, or resorted to tricks early
in the game, different story would
have been tod.

years Of age, but he weighs $50
pounds, and is fast. accurate player,
who can be found in the thickest of
every scrimmage. II the team is espe-

player in the opposing eleven, Coble

mix-up. Coach Chez Of the Cincin.

PAW team when Coble first Joined 1t.
He said: He has them all beat for
weight. and It is simply surprising how
well he handles himself. We had to
take two belts and riyet them togeth-
er to get one that would go around his
waist. We got the largest pair Of foot
ball trousers that we could buy. and
then we had to insert a piece of "

The Premler Jockey.

The premier jockeyship honors for
1902 are, by common consent, award
ed to Odom, Redfern and Lyme.
Horsemen are not agreed as to which

not prepared to award the palm OF
supremacy, but they are united in the
belief that the three lads named are
the greatest trio of riders the Ameri-
can turf has had in any one year
Each Of the jockeys named has a
large and loyal following which be-
lieyes him to be the best jockey in the
country, and each of the three armies
If followers is equally confident the
task of deciding as between them Is
one not to be undertaken lightly.
Odom's admirers insist that he is the
most capable and most finished rider
in America to-day. The supporters OF
Redfern point to his dash, and his
gentle, persuasive style, which,
when occasion demands it, is changed
to riding Of the most vigorous kind.
rhe West is a unit in support OF
Lyme, and he has an army Of follow
ers here who hold fast to the Western
faith in him. Odom has ridden these
many years, and never so brilliantly
as this season. Redfern was find OF
last season, and did not ripen into
the full measure of his fame until
this year. Lyme made his place as
the leading jockey of the West secure
last year, and crowned it with his
splendid work in the East this sea

Business VS.. Art

Comedian Kiernan of the @Floro-
dora company has an uncle who was
opposed to the young mans going on
the stage. He argued with him for
some time in favor of a mercantile
career, but without success.
When Kiernan gained some success
later and his salary exceeded consid-
erably that which he could have
earned behind counter or in front OF
the fruit stand in front of the store
he pointed out the fact to the uncle
with considerable show of pride.
That's all right, Tom" replied the
old gentleman, after sitting through
the performance which the comedian
thought would impress him; that's all
right. But it won't be very long be-
fore people will get tired Of this d
foolishness you're givin' em. and then
you'll be left out in the world without
knowin' anything.

DDudv Deans Run.

The first game Harvard won from
Yale after 1876, was played at Spring
field in 1890, two runs for touchdowns
by Jim Lee and Dudley Dean giving
Harvard her twelve to six score. Yale
ecored within two minutes Of the end
Of the game by steady line-plunglng'
Haryard's first Touchdown was
made by Lee, who scored on a long
run at right end, but Deans run, and
the spectacular chase by Josh Hart
WELL was the real feature Of the game
and the one best remembered.
Dud Dean played quarterback, and
all day long had been breaking
through and making tackles behind
the Yale line. In those days, remem-
her, the fullback played farthest be-
hind the team on defense, and the
quarterback played close.
Time and again Dean shot between
Haryard's center, John Cranston and
Ralph Finley, the left guard, and
smashed Yale's play before 1t could
get under way, and his great run re-
suited when he was engaged in just
this performance.
No one remembers exactly how 1t
all happened. Dean himself hasn't
quite a clear version, but 1t is known
that when Yale had the ball on Har-
wards 45-yard line, Dud broke
through on the Eli quarterback Bar
bour.
Barbour was In the act Of passing
the ball to one of his backs, when
Dud Dean beat it out of his hands
and, as it bounded up. seized 1t him
self, somehow wigglcd out between
the Yale backs and cut loose down
the field. 1t happened all in a second.
Dean was alone and about five
yards away when out from the bunch
and coming upon him with tremen-
dous strides was Hartwell, Yale's left
end.
1t was a sight. Dlminutive Dean,
his shock of yellow hair streaming
out behind him, and Josh Hartwell.
Hartwell. six feet one inch, red-haired
and with red beard which swept
about his face in fullest majesty. The
giant and the pigmy.
Nearer and nearer to Dean drew
Hartwell. Both sidelines we're in a
tumult, but when almost at the goal
line, Dean, who even in a football
game, could not forget his baseball,
slid feet foremost under the crossbar,
hugging the ball close 10 him. He
was about two yards ahead at the fin
ish. This is the story Of Dud Deans
sixty-fyeyard run.

Wisconsin piled up one of its big
gest scores of the season against
Northwestern university, defeating
the Methodists by score of 81 to 0
in two twenty-five minute halves. Only
once during the game did the purple

after Wisconsin had lost the ball on a
tumble after a kickoff.
The Methodists fell back for a
PLACE kick for goal, but Baird had re-
.ired. and it was decided not to try it.
Efforts to gain ground resulted in
failure. and the chance was gone.
Only twice during the game did
Northwestern hold the badgers for
Gowns, and only three times did the
purple players make their FIVE yards
in four downs.
