PENNSYLVANIA'S ELEVEN.

In its last two games the Pennsylvania football team revealed its worst and its best form of the season. The game with Dickenson on Election Day was a disappointing exhibition on Pennsylvania's part. The fumbling was even worse than in the Lafayette game, and the line was weak in offensive play. The score of 30-2 was only made possible by strong defensive play throughout and by a brace in aggressive work during the last part of the game. In the game with the Carlisle Indians the team exhibited the best form that it has yet shown and approached very nearly the form of last year's team at the same time of the year. The play of the team was full of dash, strong in both defense and offense, and improvement was noticeable in handling the ball and in team work. The make-up of the team has now been decided upon as follows: Centre, Overfield; guards, Wharton and Woodruff; tackles, Farrar and Uffenheimer; ends, Boyle and Dickson or Hedges; quarterback, Goodman or Weeks; halfbacks, Gelbert and Morice; fullback, Minds. Weeks's play at quarterback in the Carlisle game made him the favorite for the position, but in the practice Goodman has showed better form, and seems to be the man for the place. Dickson and Hedges are equally good men at end.

The annual Fall Handicap Games were held on Franklin Field, October 31, and were characterized by good performances, the best work being that of Grant 1900, who won both the mile and one thousand yards runs.

The Inter-Class Fall Regatta took place on the Schuylkill River on Tuesday, Nov. 3 and Friday, Nov. 5. Six crews competed. Great interest was manifested in this regatta, the credit for which is in a large part due to the energetic work of Mr. Ward, the rowing coach. The race was won by '99 college, who on November 3 defeated the college crews and on November 5 won the final heat from the Medical and Dental crews.

The musical clubs are now exhibiting unusual activity. The membership is larger than last year, and it is probable that, during the Christmas holidays, an extensive western or southern trip will be undertaken.

Professor Herman V. Hilprecht, Curator of the Babylonian Department of the Museum, recently returned to Philadelphia after conducting one of the most successful expeditions ever sent out by the University. His work consisted in carrying out archaeological investigations in Asia Minor and in cataloguing antiquities in the Imperial Ottoman Museum at Constantinople. Professor Hiprecht, though his official capacity as cataloguer of these specimens, has succeeded in obtaining for the university many rare archaeological objects. Another occurrence of interest in this connection has been the series of lectures recently delivered by Dr. Doerpfeld, the eminent German archaeological scholar.
