U. of Penn.- Zeigler, Cash, (Wright), Bowser, Mears, (Savage), Tennis, Sypher, Wagenhurst, quarter-back, Church; half-backs, Hulme and Colloday; full-back, Hill.
Referee, Corwin; umpire, Price, of Pennsylvania.
The umpire was very partial to Pennsylvania in all his decisions and evidently tried to keep Harvard's score down as much as possible.
Harvard played a very fine game. Sears especially distinguished himself, kicking well and rushing superbly. Porter did good work, Cumnock played his usual fine game. Crosby and Lee played hard and well. The score made by the team is very creditable since the ground was very wet and slippery, and the men were tired out by Saturday's game and the long journey.
For Pennsylvania, Wagenhurst and Hill played the best game.
