Harvard vs. the University of Pennsylvania.

Few of the men who had assembled on Jarvis Field yesterday afternoon expected anything but victory for our eleven after the satisfactory result of the game against the Technology on the 11th. The despondency which came over the audience when they realized that defeat stared us in the face can, therefore, be readily imagined. The game was called at 3.25 with Harvard at the West End of the field, a strong wind in their favor. The Pennsylvania quarter-back at the kick off made a bad pass and our rushers got down quickly and Gilman securing the ball rushed it close down to Pennsylvania's goal line. It was passed back to Kimball who made a kick for goal which was blown by the wind to the left outside of the posts. Soon after the ball was brought out Bemis made a long side pass which was secured by a Penn. rusher, who carried it far down the field. It was now Penn's turn to try for goal and their trial failed. The ball was soon in the middle of the field owing to a good tackle by Phillips, which laid out one of the Penn.'s halfback who was compelled to retire. The wind was very high and interfered with the accuracy of the passing and Pennsylvania seemed trying to wastes time until they had the wind. Harvard's work was at this time very loose. The ball was again brought too near our goal only to be sent back by long punts by Peabody. Then the Penn.'s full back, getting the ball, leisurely rushed up the field past all our rushers, who failed to tackle him, until tipped over by a firm hold of Kimball. Time was soon called with the ball in the middle of the field. It was intended to play 35 minutes, but by mistake only 30 minutes had elapsed when the referee gave the word.

The second half, like the first, started off well for Harvard, for Bemismade a neat throw to Wesselhoeft, who made a pretty run. Nothing material resulted from it. Pennsylvania played with confidence, placing most of the men on the rush line when Harvard had a down. their men broke through quickly and often disconcerted our halfbacks when trying to catch or kick the ball, In the second half the ball was gradually worked to the Harvard end of the field. Peabody tried to make a fair catch close to the goal post, but a Penn, man got the ball, touched behind the line and was granted a touch-down, the only score made during the game. The ball was not kicked between the posts and after it was brought out Harvard rushed it to the other end of the field and kept it there for the few minutes which remained.

Harvard's play did not come up to some of the practice work and was decidedly loose at times. Poor tackling, several muffs by the backs and poor blocking were the noticeable errors in the play of our eleven. The Pennsylvania rush line on the other hand, stood as firm as a rock and got through much better than our team. Some of the individual play of our men was good, notably the fine tackling of Adams and Kimball, the way in which Gilman got the ball in a crowd and one or two rushes by Wesselhoeft. Holden had but little given him to do, so that he had but few opportunities for good plays or errors. Bemis did well at quarterback but failed in one or two passes. Our kicking was as a rule good.

The teams were as follows : Pennsylvania-Smith, Gray (captain), price, Thompson, torris, Buck, Bell ; quarterback, Lindsay ; halfback, Noble. Harvard-Rushers, Adams, Thayer, Gillian, Winslow, Brooks, Phillips and Simpkins ; quarter-backs, Holden and Kimball ; fullback, Peabody. During the second half, Wesselhoeft, who had arrived late, played end rush in place of Simpkins, The referee was Mr. Twombly.
