Philadelphia, Nov. u.-Harvafd was
beaten this afternoon at Franklin field
by Pennsylvania by a score of Z to s.
The result was the biggest surprise in
football this season as the crimson
team was a two to one favorite until
the start of play, when a sudden dis
play of Pennsylvania money evened the
betting. But the victory was clean cut
and although the Harvard giants were
played off their feet by the little fell
lows representing the Quaker team, the
game was nevertheless the best wit
messed i'm this city in years.
For a time Harvard's heavy line bat
tered down the Pennsylvania defense
with their famous tackles back, but
when the Quakers finally dropped to
the play and broke it up, Harvard was
beaten.
The game developed a new star in

al little fellow but ne was all over the
field and by his great tackling. re-
pcatedly prevented Starr, Hurley and
Lockwood from running back punts.
downing them in their tracks every
time 1t was Levine who broke up the
tackles back play by falling in front
OF the men carrying the ball. Captain
TOrrey too played a brilliant game
and Sheble easily Outpunted Burr.
Parker was disqualified in the first
half for smuggling Sheble and in the
second half Sheble was punished in a
similar manner for smuggling.
This was the only change made by
Pennsylvania, although it was neces-
sary for Harvard to continually send
i'm substitutes in the second half to
bolster up their line.
Pennsylvania played remarkable
football in the second half. gaining re-
peatedly on Harvard and holding the
latter when they had the ball. Har-
ward was able to make but one first
down in the second half and this was
fin the last two minutes of play. all

within two minutes OF the game. Har-
yard won the toss, giving Pennsylvania
the kickoff and Lockwood fumbied
Shebles punt ON the 10-yard line. Starr.

line was unable to hold their footing
ON the slippery field and on four tries

down. Sheble kicked the goal
Sheble was responsible for Harvard's
score when he fOOlishly tried 10 RIM
back of Burr's kick off, which dropped
behind the line. He made 10 yards on
the play. but fumbled the bail on his
own 10 yard line. PENNSYLVANIA. how
ever, held Harvard for downs on her
five yard line but Harvard again re-
covered the ball on Pennsylvania 40

tackles back play into working order
and the steady gains made by this play
together with Torrey's persistency in
getting offside, helped the crimson to
work the ball down the field until Brill
was finally pushed over for a touch
down Burr booted the goal and the
score was q tie at six.
This was the score at the end of the
half
