Harvard Defeated.

Last Game of the Season Goes Against Her Eleven.

Up to this time the play had been in Pennsylvania's territory. Waters had made good holes through Wagenhurst repeatedly, while A. Brewer broke through on the opposing backs without difficulty, downing them with losses.

On the next play Gelbert lost 5 yards on Waters' beautiful tackle, and after a short gain by Osgood, Brooke had to kick. The ball reached C. Brewer, who held up his hand for a free kick. Rosengarten paid no heed to this, however, and his tackle gave Harvard 15 yards.

On the next line-up Harvard's first accident came. Captain Emmons injured his knee and had to be carried from the field, while young Cabot went in to take his place. The ball was on Pennsylvania's 30 yard line. Whittemore lost four yards on trying right end and the ball had to be kicked. It reached the 5 yard line, but was brought back and given to Harvard with 10 yds.

By short rushes the ball was carried to Pennsylvania's 12 yard line where Harvard lost it on a fumble by Whittemore. At once it was punted out, but only for 23 yards, and Fairchild on the next play punted in touch.

Brooke kicked off from the 20-yard line and the ball landed in fair bounds thirty yards nearer Harvard's goal, where Pennsylvania soon got it on a fumble, Fairchild allowing it to slip through his hands. Immediately afterwards he was badly hurt and had to be carried from the field by force, giving place to Dunlop.

With the ball on Pennsylvania's 45 yard line, Brooke kicked to Harvard's 20 yard line. Knipe received Brewer's kick-off and made 15 yards before he could be stopped. Three downs, however, immediately gave Harvard the ball on her own 40 yard line. On the first play she lost, and on the exchange of kicks a fumble gave Rosengarten the ball, 35 yards from Harvard's goal.

Short gains by Wharton and Brooks, with ten yards around right end by Knipe, left the ball at Harvard's 25-yard line. At this stage of the game C. Brewer was injured and had to give place to Hayes.

In a minute the first score of the game was made. Brooke had kicked to Harvard's three-yard line, and Hayes, who received the ball, not knowing he was so close to the goal, ran back across the line and so scored two points against his side. The half ended almost immediately after this.

Score, Pennsylvania 2, Harvard 0.

The second half opened at 3.44. Waters kicked off for 25 yards, and the ball went to Harvard on a fumble by Wharton; but she soon lost it on downs. In a few minutes, after several plays, Brooke kicked to Harvard's 18 yard line, where Hayes got the ball.

The first touchdown followed for Pennsylvania. After a few rushes Hayes kicked, but the ball went into the line, where Wagonhurst secured it and carried it over the line. Brooke kicked the goal, and the score stood 8 to 0 in favor of Pennsylvania.

Waters kicked off and Osgood got the ball on the 15-yard line and made a beautiful run of 50 yards before he was downed. In this run he was aided by splendid interference on the part of Gelbert and Knipe.

Pennsylvania took a great brace here. Knipe went twelve yards through right tackle, but a fumble gave Harvard the ball on her 25 yard line. At this point Hallowell was injured so that he had to leave the field and Wheeler went in to take his place at left tackle.

Whittemore made eight yards through right tackle and then tried centre for no gain. Bull was here slightly injured, but resumed play. A. Brewer ran out of bounds, then Hayes was thrown by Gelbert without gain. A punt at once took the ball to Pennsylvania's 50-yard line, from which Brooke returned it. Harvard was given fifteen yards for a foul tackle.

Harvard kicked, and Knipe made a long run of 38 yards, bringing the ball to the 2 yard line, from which Knipe carried it over on the next play. The ball was punted out, but the goal was missed by a few inches, leaving the score 12 to 0 in favor of Pennsylvania.
