PENNSYLVANIA SCORES EARLY.
Pennsylvania's first touchdown was made after
only three minutes of play, and was the result of
q tumble on Harvard's part. Sheble had kicked off
for Penn and sent the ball behind the Crimson goal
nosts where Lockwood fumhled. He recovered,
however, and ran the ball out to the fo-yard line
betore he was downed- After try at the line
Foster again muffed the ball. which went rolling be-
tzeen Lamson's legs who dropped on ii like flash.
Then, in four tries at the line. Lamson made the
ten wards and g touchdown. Sheble neatly caught
sevenson's punt out and easily kicked the goal.
When this happened early in the game, the
Pennsylvania rocters went wild. They had gathered
on the south side of the field 2:0e9 strong. and
with the score s to 0 in their favor they danced,
they sang and they yelled. Hats were thrown in
the air. and the band struck up the Pennsylvania
Triumph Song the tune of Farewell, Ny
Bl1sbel'' A sort Of frost came over the Har-
tsrd bleachers for minute, for they had ex-
p4eted something altogether different, and to see
the despised Pennsylvanians score so early In the
game was bitter pill Nevertheless they cheered
their team Loyalty to the end, and after the game
was over stood in their places and sadly watched
the triumph of the Joyous Pennsylvanians.

was noisy, that which met Pennsyvania's second

tying the score. The white board indicated 6 to 6
sll the rest of the half and until-weH into the
second When Pennsylvania scored the ball on a
punt by Harvard. The team then carried it steadily
down the field 10 the 4-yard line Here two tries
at the line netted only three yards. and it the
third down
With the winning touchdown only yard away
the Pennsylvania eleven gathered about their cap
tain for consultation Then they dropped back in
their places. and the little quarterback clearly
called out the signals, I1amson dropped behind the
lire Before the spectators fully realized what had
happened, he was ploughing through the opposing
line, and when he stopped the ball rested safely
on the other side of the coveted white mark.
Ali the enthusiasm which had been pent up in
expectancy for the last five minutes broke loose
From the Pennsylvania bleachers went up a mighty
shout, and again the band and the triumpha
song But this time from the whole of the i'm
psthizers, went up yell for Pennsylvania Women

left their alma mater for work in other fields, got
up and LED those around them in the Ray! ray. ray!

Then the two thousand Pennsylvania students
fumbled down on the field, and. led by the band
started their war dance, while the of the
SPECTATORS stood in the stands and watched a
feature of the contest for which they had bar
gained Round about, in and out. the students
oan'ed. singing as they went until some of them
