Pennsylvania Defeats Har-
ward Before a Gathering
of $4,000 People.

PHILADELPHIA, November n.-Penn-
sylvania today defeated Harvard In one Oh
the fiercest gridiron battles ever witnessed
on Franklin Field. The final score was IL
to 6. Both elevens scored touchdown ana
kicked the goals in the first half and the
Quaker eleven added a second touchdown
in the second half.
The day was perfect for foot ball the
air IS crisp enough to make it comfort
able for players and spectators alike. Inc
crowd was the largest that ever witnessed
a game of foot ball in Philadelphia. Long
before the time scheduled for the game 10
begin throngs were coming in all direc-
lions and in almost every kind of convey
ance Not one of the a20O0 odd seats was
vacant when play began, and there were
probably two thousand persons standins
around the grdiron Enclosure.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that Lamson,
the player over whom there has been SO
much contention, should have scored both
touchdowns for the Pennsylvania eleven.
Disqualified for Smuggling.
That there was ill-feeling between the
players of the two elevens was made APP
parent early in the first half when Parker,
the Crimson center, was disqualified Tor
smuggling. and again in the second nan
when Sheble was sent to the club house
for a like offonse.
Both touchdowns in the first half were
due to an element of luck. Before the game
had been in progress three minutes ana
with the ball within ten yards of Harvard's
goal. Foster was sent against PennsylVa-
MAS left tackle. AS he struck the line
Foster dropped the ball, and when Referee
McClung was able to get the mass of hu-
tod nh
the ball within eight yards of Harvard
goal In three plays Lamson was pusheo
over for a touchdown. The score was mace
so quickly that the great crowd scarcely
realized it. 1t was then Harvards turn for
a run of luck Burr kicked to Sheble, who
had d splendid opportunity to carry the
ball out of danger, but just as ne got Wen
started he dropped the pigskin, but a
Quaker player fell on it within four yards
of Pennsylvania goal. Sheble kicked on
the first lineup, the ball going to Hurley
of Harvard on Pennsylvania forty-yard
line. Here the crimson eleven began to
work their famous tandem, and aided by
two offside plays, which netted them ten
yards, they quickly pushed the ball over
for a touchdown.
The third touchdown was made on hard,
clean foot ball. Pennsylvania got the ball
on Harvards siXty-fve-yard mark
exchange of kicks. and pushed it over for
the final touchdown by straight line plung-
ing. Torrey kicked the goal.
Five Men Sent to the Side Lines.
The numerous changes in the Harvard
lineup attest the fierceness with which the
Pennsylvania players went into the tan
dem play of the Crimsons. Five men were
so badly weakened that they were sent to
the side lines. The Pennsylvania lineup
remained intact, however, with the excep-
ton of Sheble, who made too free use of his
hand There was probably never a foot
ball game played in which there was such
a difference in the two halves In the flrst
half Harvard outplayed Pennsylvania and
gained ground almost at will, while in the
second half the Crimson players made only
one first down. Both their offense and de-
Tense weakened perceptibly as the game
progressed while Pennsylvania attack and
defense improved 90 per cent This was
probably due to the superb end of the
Quaker eleven.
In the line Harvard in the early stages
excited the local eleven, but in the back
field the second line of defense of Penn
sylvania was superior 10 Harvard, Brill.
Lockwood and Foster pierced the Quaker
line for big gains in the first half but in
the second half with the two latter forced
out of the game the tandem was crumbled
before 1t got well under way.
Levin Was the Star.
The particular star on Franklin Field to-
day. however, was little Levin Penn's left
end. 1t is no exaggeration to state that he
played the most remarkable game of foot
oall ever witnessed in this city. He fol-
lowed the ball perfectly, and time and again

AT 2:lI the whistle blew and the game was
on. Sheble's first kick went out of bounds
and the ball was brought back to midfield
On the next attempt the ball went to Lock-
wood on Harvard's five-yard line. Lock-

Instead of kicking the ball out of danger
the Harvard tandem was sent against the
line. Foster was carrying the ball and as
he dashed against Robinson, Pennsylvania
right guard. he fumbled. Robinson was on

Pennsylvania had scored a touchdown The
touchdown was made at the extreme corner
of the field and Stevenson, who is from

held the kick. Sheble kicked the goal,
making the score six to nothing.
After the Pennsylvania section of cheerers
had recovered from their surprise a shout
went up that shook the stand. But the ioy
was not long lived, for In less than fiye
