U. of P. 18; HARVARD 4.

Our Eleven Barely Escapes from a Whitewash.

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.

When the second half opened, Waters kicked off for 25 yards, and the ball went to Harvard on a fumble by Wharton; but she soon lost it on downs. Pennsylvania kicked, but got the ball through Hayes's muff, and at once 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 Knipe blocked the ball and Wagonhurst secured it and carried it over. 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 45 yards before he was downed. At this point Hallowell's nose was injured so that he had to leave the field and Wheeler went in to take his place at left tackle. Hallowell shortly became delirious and had to be carried to the dressing room.

Hayes, Whittemore, Waters and Dunlop went through Pennsylvania's line. The ball was on Harvard's 40 yard line. Again it was passed to Hayes for a kick. and again he fumbled the ball and Knipe, picking it up, ran towards Harvard's goal. He was not downed till he reached the 3 yard line, where A. Brewer overtook him.

Gelbert made two yards through the line and then Knipe went through the centre for a touchdown, far on one side of the goal. Brooke kicked out to Williams, who made a fair catch, but Brooke failed to kick the goal, leaving the score 12 to 0 against Harvard, with only ten minutes of play to come.

After the kick-off Pennsylvania again carried the ball to Harvard's 12 yard line. Brooke made a try at a goal from the field, but came nowhere near it. Hayes kicked and the ball bounded and struck Brooke. Cabot fell on it on Pennsylvania's 15 yard line. Then Harvard made her only score. Waters and Hayes bucked the line and the ball was carried over Pennsylvania's line for a touchdown by Waters. Arthur Brewer failed at the try for goal making the score 12 to 4 in favor of Pennsylvania.

From this time on the game was in Pennsylvania's hands. Frank Shaw was hurt and Doucette took his place. Osgood made another wonderful run of 60 yards around Harvard's right end to her 10 yard line; then Wharton and Knipe went through the line to within three yards of Harvard's goal. osgood went around the right end for another touchdown. Brooke kicked out to Williams, who made a fair catch, and Brooke again kicked the goal. Score, Pennsylvania 18; Harvard 4. Only five minutes more of play remained, and the ball was nearly all the time in Harvard's territory.

The Harvard players left the field in a sadly bruised and battered condition. Emmons, Hallowell, Frank Shaw, Charlie Brewer, and Fairchild were all unable to walk and were carried from the dressing room and placed in carriages. Hallowell did not seem to be seriously injured and had recovered from his delirium.
