HARVARD WENT
DOWN TO DEFEAT
Crimson Net More Than Their Match
on Franklin Field.
FINAL SCORE WAS IL TO 6
FIERCE CONTEST FROM START
TO FINISH.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Pennsylvania
today defeated Harvard in one of the
hercest gridiron battles ever witnessed
on Franklin field. The final score was
IL TO 6. Both eIevens scored a touch
down and kicked the goals in the first
half and the Quaker eleven added a
second touchdown in the second half.
II is a peculiar coincidence that Lam
son, the player over whom there has
been so much contention, should have
scored both touchdowns for the Penn
sylvania eleven. That there was III
feeling between the players OF the two
elevens was made apparent early in the
first half when Parker, the crimson CEN
ter. was disqualified for smuggling and
again in the second half. when Sheble
was sent to the club house for a like
otfense.
Lucky Touchdowns.
Both touchdowns in the first half
were due 10 luck. Before the game had
been in progress two minutes and with
the ball ten yards off Harvard's goal
Foster was sent against the Pennsyl-
vania left tackle. AS he struck the
line Foster dropped the ball ana when
Referee McClung was able 10 get the
mass of humanity separated, Robinson
was lying on the ball within eight yards
of HarVard's goal In three plays Lam
son was pushed over tor touchdown.
The score was made 50 quickly that
the great crowd scarcely realized II. II
was then Harvard's turn for run Of
luck. Burr kicked 10 Sheble, who had
a splendid opportunity TO carry the ball
out OF danger. but just as he got well
started he dropped the pigskin, but
v.Na fell NIT b in
yards of Pennsylvania goal. Sheble
kicked on the first lineup, the ball go
ing to Hurley Of Harvard on Pennsyl-
Vania's 40-yard line. Here the crimson
eleven began 10 work their famous tan
dem, and aided by two off-side plays.
which netted them ten yards, they
quickly pushed the ball over for
touchdown.
Clean Football.
The third touchdown was made on
hard. clean football Pennsylvania got
the ball on Harvard's 45-yard line on
an exchange of kicks and pushed it
over for the final touchdown by straight
line plunging. Tory kicked the goal
The numerous changes in the HaT-
ward lineup attest the fierceness with
which the pennant players went into
the play. Five men were so badly
weakened that they were sent 10 the
side lines. The Pennsylvania lineup
remained intact, however, with the ex-
ception of Sheble, who made too free
use of his hands.
There was probably never a football
game played in which there was such
"a difference in the two halves. In the
first half Harvard completely Outplayed
Pennsylvania and gained ground al
most at will, while in the second half
the crimson players made only one first
down. Both their offense and defense
weakened perceptibly as the game pro-
crossed, while Pennsylvania attack
and defense improved 80 per cent. This
was probably due 10 the superior con-
ditiOn of the Quaker eleven.
Pennsy's Star.
The particular star on Franklin field
today was little Levine, PennsylYa-
MAS left end. 1t is no eXaggeratiOn 70
state he played the most remarkable
game OF football ever witnessed in this
city. He followed the ball perfectly,
and time and again broke up Harvards
Interference before the play had gone
six feet. Six times during the game
he recovered the ball after some mem
Der of his team had fumbled, and fire.
quently he tackled a runner OF the lat
ter's line and he was under every kick
which Sheble sent down the field. Three
times during the game he was laid out
because of his fierce tackling, but he
always resumed play after receiving
the sponge bath.
The day was perfect for football.
The crowd was the largest that ever
witnessed a game OF football In Phila-
delphia. Not one Of the $4,000 odd seats
was vacant when play began and there
were probably 1900 persons standing
around the gridiron.
