CAMBRIDGE, Mass. November TO-
Treading the turf of the Harvard Sta
dunn again after an absence of % years,
a 1.-THE, powerful Pennsylvania eleven
toyed with the awkward might o.
Harvard today and ended the brief re-
sumption of one of foot balls most an
cient rivalrieS with the second victory IN
two years.
The margin of triumph, to 0, was by
no means as impressive as this Penn
sylvania team, the first to dare the
Crimson might on her own battlefield
since the raging conflict in 1905, when
Harvard, bruised and beaten. called a
halt on a pigskin feud that dated back
to 1881.
Pennsylvania today was smart enough
to capitalize every Harvard miscue, pow
erful enough to halt every dangerous
Crimson thrust, brainy enough to out
think the desperate host at every turn.
Penalties Mar Game.
The game, marred by penalties which
cost Penn hundreds of yards and Har-
ward almost as much, was over. as far
as the scoring was concerned, one min
ute after the referees whistle opened
the conflict. Overanxious on the first
play after Penn'S kickoff, Dave Guar
1ltsCt Id. TASTY k1dlNcIu
the ball on the CrimSons' first running
er ball carrier, was in like a dart of
light to smother the pigskin on Har-
wards 18-yard line.
Three plays thereafter the bail
nestled behind the Harvard goal in the
arms of Paul Scull. Penns brilliant
captain. AIDED by 10-yard penalty
imposed on Harvard by Referee j. i.
Keegan, who strobe more yards in pam
alties all afternoon than either team
gained, Scull slashed one tackle and
then the other for a touchdown from
the 4-yard line. He drop-kicked the
goal and the scoring was over. Penn's
scoring ended there, but the Red and
Blue knocked continually thereafter at
Harvards goal. The Quakers' best
chance, in the final period, failed the
others. however, when the Crimson line,
charging madly and grabbing everything
in sight, smashed Penn's hidden ball at
tack to pieces on the Harvard 5-yard
line and forced Scull to try a drop
kick for field goal.
The Penn captain dropped back and
booted one from the 20-yard line that
was wide. But Harvard was off side
on the play and Paul tried it again
with the same result from the 15-yarC
mark. The harassed Crimson forwards
given a reprieve from further scoring,
then staged their sole formidable drive
of the day.
Starting on the 20-yard line, with
the shadows of the giant stadium slant
ed all the way across the field, amid the
cheers Of $4,000 people, Harvard fought
to tie the score. A lateral pass, Guar
naccia to French, that had gained con-
sistentlv earlier, brought the Crimson
almost to midfield in two sweeps. One
forward worked, another lateral landed
French on PENIS 38-yard line, but a
long pass the final despairing effort
| landed in Penn arms as the final WhiS-
tie blew.
Harvard Attack Puny.

passes landed in the arms of Paul Soul
or Leon WeStgate, Penn center.
- Harvard completed but two forwards
in IL tries for Is yards of gain, while
three were intercepted. Penn tried IL,
completed six and had one grabbed by
the enemy. The Quaker rollers rolled
up II first downs to seven for Harvard.
Only the individual defense work of
the Tichnor brothers, Ben and Bill, in
the Harvard line and the bruising
tackling of big Tim Clark kept the
Crimson within striking distance. For
the most part. Penn's forwards from
end to end surged through the Harvard
barrier ahead of the Quaker whirling
dervishes Scull Murphy, Opekun and
Shober. The Penn attack kept the ball
constantly in Harvard's territory.
Victory was doubly sweet for Pennsyl-
vania, for last year. on the resumption
of relations after 22-year break, the
Cuakers swamped the Crimson "a to 0
in Philadelphia. SO happy were the
Quaker cohorts at the outcome that
they smashed down Harvard's hallowed
goal posts. The first time that has been
