Harvard Defeated.

Last Game of the Season Goes Against Her Eleven.

Hard Luck Follows Harvard to the Very End. Score, 18 to 4.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29 - The afternoon here was ideal for football, clear and cold to suit the players, but with a bright sun to make it easier for the spectators. Before the game began, the wind had almost entirely died out, so that neither side had any advantage on that score.

In the morning, before breakfast, the Harvard team took a short walk, and after breakfast both Harvard and Pennsylvania elevens went out and looked over the grounds, on which they were to meet later in the day.

The crowd had begun to collect on the University Grounds by twelve o'clock, and a large crowd was soon struggling for admission.

By two o'clock the four grand stands were completely filled, and hundreds were standing around the low fence that surrounded the field. The scene was brilliant with the colors of the two colleges. The betting just before the game began was five to four in favor of Pennsylvania.

Before the game began no one would have known from the way Captain Knipe ran around the field that he was the man of whose playing there had been considerable doubt. The crowd was also astonished to see Brooke, the Pennsylvania fullback, drop several goals from the field at the 40-yard line.

As the two teams ran on the field they were greeted by wild bursts of applause. The Pennsylvania men came first with Brooke in the lead. Then followed Captain Emmons after 15 minutes, at the head of his men. For a short time the ball was passed from man to man, while the men warmed up. The captains held a short consultation, and then the two teams lined up for the kick-off.

The teams lined up:
