Pennsylvania presented a strong team and Harvard had much harder work to win than the score indicates. Harvard's general play was somewhat disappointing. At times her work was brilliant while at others it was extremely loose. The rush line failed to block well, and Pennsylvania had little trouble in finding holes in it. The tackling except on the part of 3 or 4 men was high and at times far from effective. The blocking off all through the game was weak and much poorer than that in the Wesleyan game of a week ago. In the rush line Hutchinson's man held him badly and the halfbacks were thus enabled to get around his end frequently; they rushed between him and Stickney also often without being tackled. Tilton got through well, but almost always overran the runner, thus leaving a large hole in the center for him to go through. Cumnock tackled well, especially in the first half, but Hulme got around his end more than once. This was the result, however, of holding which Wallace allowed all the Pennsylvania men freely to indulge in. Harding at quarterback, played very poorly. His passing at times was inaccurate, and until the last part of the game he ran the halfbacks altogether through the center with repeated loss of ground. Lee made some good rushes around the end but fumbled badly.

Pennsylvania did some fine work and completely outplayed Harvard at several stages of the game. Her halfbacks played brilliantly all through and made some remarkable rushes.

The game began at 2.40 p. m., Harvard having the west end of the field and Pennsylvania the ball. Church dribbled to Hulme who ran behind the V that was formed and gained ten yards. The ball soon went to Harvard on four downs, and Trafford kicked on the third down. Hulme made a flare catch on the thirty-five yard line and kicked. Saxe caught it on the run and got thirty yards. Stickney, Saxe and Fearing gained 13 yards but Pennsylvania's rushers broke through and got the ball. Valentine ran around Cumnock's end and gained twenty yards. On the third down Thayer bunted through the rush line and gained the register five yards. Three more downs, and Thayer kicked. Chureh tackled Saxe when he tried to run on catching the ball.

Lee took Fearing's place in the second-half. Harvard had the ball and Harding made ten yards at the kick off. He fumbled it in a moment, however, and Pennsylvania began forcing it ahead. Valentine and Hulme went through the Harvard rushers at will and the ball was at Harvard's ten-yard line. Thayer fumbled and P. Trafford fell on the ball. Trafford kicked and P. Trafford picked up the leather and rushed 15 yards. Lee and Saxe fumbled badly, but Harvard luckily kept the ball.

When it was brought out Hulme failed to advance, and the leather went to Harvard. Saxe got a good start but Dewey tackled him well.
