PHILADELPHIA, PA., Nov. 9, 1901. Harvard and Pennsylvania met on Franklin Field this afternoon for their annual football game. It was a beautiful day for the great contest and an immense crowd of spectators was within the enclosure. Referee McClung blew the whistle and called play at 2.08 o'clock. Harvard's supporters were full of confidence and they apparently had good grounds for their hope. Pennsylvania has not beaten Harvard since 1897, and this year Pennsylvania's eleven is far below the average. The air of over-confidence was apparent on all sides. The Harvard players outweighed Pennsylvania nearly fifteen pounds to a man.

The stands surrounding the field filled slowly and at 2 p.m, the time fixed for starting the game, there were 12,000 persons present. The sun was hidden by clouds which made the day a little raw. The Harvard squad came on the field at 1.55 and were loudly cheered. Three minutes later Pennsylvania appeared on the field and were also given a fine ovation.

The teams lined up as follows: HARVARD.  PENNSYLVANIA. Campbell, l.e.  r.e., Gardiner Blagden, l.t.  r.t., Donaldson Lee, l.g.  r.g., Teas Sargent, c.  c., McCabe Barnard, r.g.  l.g., Bennett Cutts, r.t.  l.t., Piekarkski Bowditch, r.e.  l.e., Metzger Marshall, q.b.  q.b., Howard Putnam, l.h.b.  r.h.b., Dale Graydon, r.h.b.  l.h.b. Reynolds Ristine, f.b.  f.b., Davidson

Umpire, Dashiel of Annapolis, Referee, McClung of Lehigh.

Captain Campbell won the toss and chose the west goal with a moderate wind at his back. Reynolds kicked off at eight minutes after two. The ball landed on Harvard's five yard line and was immediately punted back to middle-field. Gardiner made five yards around Harvard's right end. Two more yards were made and then Pennsylvania fumbled, Harvard getting the ball.

Harvard could not advance the ball and Graydon, in attempting to kick, fumbled the ball. Davidson fell on it. Pennsylvania bucked the line a couple of times and then Harvard was penalized ten yards for offside play. This brought the ball to Harvard's 20 yard line. A quarterback kick failed and it was Harvard's ball on her own 15 yard line. Graydon kicked to the 45 yard line. Pennsylvania failed to gain and an exchange of kicks found the ball on Harvard's five yard line.

Dale took the ball around Harvard's right end for 13 yards and Reynolds kicked to Harvard's 10 yard line, where it was fumbled. Pennsylvania got the ball a moment later. Teas let the ball slip from his fingers and Harvard regained possession. Harvard again made a series of line plunges and took the ball down the field to her own 40 yard line.

Graydon made a 20 yard run to Pennsylvania's 50 yard line. Then Harvard continued their gains and soon had the ball on Pennsylvania's 30 yard line. Putnam took the ball around right end for 8 yards and twice through the centre for 5 yards more. Two more plunges by Harvard's backs landed the ball 5 yards in front of Pennsylvania's goal.
