VICTORY.

Harvard has won, and our football prospects take on a brighter look. It would have been a sad thing for Harvard, from the athletic standpoint, if the game had gone against us today. Every man on the eleven felt that fact keenly, and they went in to play with a do-or-die resolution that was a harbinger of sucess.

Long before two o'clock the crowds began to pour in at the gates, and when the Harvard team ran upon the field 15 thousand people were there to welcome them. A few moments later the Pennsylvania team were given a royal welcome.

Harvard won the toss and chose the western goal. Pennsylvania started the game with a ten yard gain made by the flying wedge.

Then the men lined up as follows:

HARVARD. U. OF P.

Emmons, left-end-right Newton.

Manahan, left-tackle-right Reese.

Acton, left-guard-right Woodruff.

Lewis, centre Thornton.

Mackie, right-guard-left Oliver.

Newell, right-tackle-left Mackey.

Stevenson, right-end-left Simmons.

Beale, quarterback Williams.

Wrightington, halfback Knipe.

Dunlop, halfback Osgood.

Brewer, fullback Brooke.

Two short gains were made and then by the splendid work of Stevenson and Emmons Pennsylvania was forced to kick. The ball went over the line and was therefore Harvard's at the 25 yard line. In a moment Brewer kicked back to the centre.

Harvard's line was invincible and Pennsylvania tried to kick. Then Newell broke through, jumped into the air, stopped the kick and fell on the ball. Brewer kicked over the line, so Pennsylvania had the ball on her 25 yard line.

Pennsylyania had to kick and then Harvard lost the ball for the first time on downs. Newell was playing the game of his life and was through the line and on the ball. Then yard by yard the leather was pushed toward the goal.

Brewer, Wrightington, and Stevenson all made gains. The ball was on the 1 yard line when Mackie fumbled and the ball went to Pennsylvania.

In a moment Mackie redeemed himself by stoping Brooke's kick.

Brooke fell on the ball, but for all that it was a safety and Harvard had started to score.

Pennsylvania could not gain, for the Harvard men were playing in beautiful form. A kick took the ball into the middle of the field and then Mackie took Brewer under his arm and the ball was 20 yards nearer Pennsylvania's goal.

Beautiful runs by Dunlop and Wrightton brought the teams to the 30 yard line. Mackie tore through the centre for 5 yards, and Brewer went like a shot round the end for 10 yards more. The crowd went wild over this wonderful work.

Rush after rush was made until the ball was on the 2 yard line. Then Charlie Brewer squeezed over the line, and immediately kicked the goal. Score, 8 to 0 in Harvard's favor.

Here Emmons, who had long been unfit to play, was literally dragged from the field. Arthur Brewer took his place, and immediately Knipe went round his end for 43 yards. It was Pennsylvania's turn to cheer.

A kick went out of bounds but a Pennsylvania man was on it and the ball was within ten yards of Harvard's goal. A rush carried it to the 4 yard line, and then Brooke scored a touchdown but missed the goal. Score, 8 to 4 in Harvard's favor, and the contest grew hot.

It was worth many days labor to see Harvard make the next score. Fifteen yards were made on the flying wedge and then Charlie Brewer went around the end and with both teams close upon his heels sped down the entire distance and planted the ball just beyond the goal line.

He followed this up with a clean goal and section after section sent up their cheers for "Brewer, Brewer, Brewer." Score, 14 to 4 for Harvard.

Pennsylvania opened up with a wedge and then tried her flying interference, but it was of no avail and Brooke had to kick. Brewer returned the compliment but Brooke sent the leather back again.

Brewer rushed 10 yards and then Newton disgraced himself by jumping on Brewer with both knees when the latter was already down. Expressions of indignation came fiercely from the Harvard grandstand. Nothing was to be done however and the game went on.

Again the two fullbacks sent the ball flying up and down the field, and then Harvard by steady rushes brought the ball to the 25 yard line. It was lost through interference but it was no time at all before Stevenson broke through, secured the ball on a fumble, and then on the ball was pushed up to the 5 yard line.

Here a fumble by Harvard saved Pennsylvania from another touchdown. Of course Pennsylvania kicked and then Brewer, Wrightington, and Dunlop by good solid work went down the field for another touchdown, and one more goal was kicked. Score, 20 to 4 for Harvard.

The few minutes of the half that were left were enlivened only by a run by Newton.

Newton apologized to Brewer for his ingentlemanly conduct.

Harvard opened up the second half with a 15 yard gain on their wedge, and Brewer made 15 more around the end.

Repeated rushes carried the ball to the 10 yard line. Brewer crawled 8 yards through the centre and Wrightington finished the good work. Brewer kicked his fourth goal. Score, 26 to 4.

Pennsylvania was unable to gain much either by her wedge or rushes and the ball was once more Harvard's. Brewer and Brooke both kicked, but Brewer did a little the better.

Reese was hurt and Oliver went to tackle and Wharton to guard. The play for some minutes was unexciting. The ball went back and forth in the middle of the field. Stevenson and Newell did some beautiful work.

Brewer and Brooke kicked again and again. One of Brooke's kicks Brewer caught and made the finest run of the afternoon. In a minute more he repeated the performance and did such beautiful dodging that the crowd went wild.

Brewer, however, was unable to play longer and went off the field while the spectators cheered him again and again. Gray took his place; but in no time Gray in turn was hurt and Gonterman came in.

Then the play became brisker. Dunlop and Gonterman both made long gains that carried the ball to the five yard line where it was lost on downs. Harvard forced the ball down the field again and by aid of the flying interference carried the ball to the 3 yard line only to lose it again on downs.

The ball was once more carried down the field.

The game finally closed with the ball on Pennsylvania's 30 yard line.
