  ALL WEAR CRIMSON. Harvard Lays the Ghost of Jarvis Field. Harvard Lays the Ghost of Jarvis Field. | CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov 30.-Crimson is popular color in this city to- | night; in fact. any shade of red goes. The traditional ghost of Jarvis field is laid, and that shadow of Thanksgiving turkey of history Is dancing madly upon the newly made grave. All Harvard is wildly hilarious, and growing more so as the even Ing ages. For what? Why, bless you, Harvard Drawn triumphed today, dragged down from its lofty | pedestal the pride of Pennsylvania, mopped it about in Cambridge clay and then sat upon it; yes, actually did all ! this. HarYard’s boys defeated the team ! of the University of Pennsylvania by a score of 26 to 4. a pleasanter | fall day never shone over New Eng land. The $1,000 people who lined the amphitheater upon Jarvis field all agreed to this, and they enjoyed it TO the utmost. There were doubters in | Cambridge this morning. but there are | none tonight. There were men who believed the glory of Harvard was on the wane; tonight they are deeply engaged in the general work of celebration with never a question in mind. THE HERO OF THE DAY ! is Charlie Brewer, the crimson full back. His playing was phenomenal. | and ranks high with the few who hold | first places. Time after time he would catch one of Brooke’s long punts, SIM ! ply dash by the Quaker ends, who | rushed down ready to gooDle him in | their arms. and then dash ahead aided ! by imprOmptu interference and again | on his own nerve, pluck and ! brilliant playing. For Pennsylvania | Knipe lowered head and shoulders | above the others. His running and | tackling were superb. and he made the | longest runs around the ends. Osgood was disappointing. His playing on the | Cornell eleven year ago against Harward is we’ll remembered here. The ! game was made up entirely of kicks and good straight plays. Harvard only tried once the fancy side wedge, which she sent bucking against Yale so often Doctors were in frequent demand, and kept running up continually looking at some injured man. First EmmOns was dazed. and Charlie Brewers brother Arthur took his place. Then Reese was hurt. Wharton was put in. Brewer ! himself now fell out of the list. and Gray was put IN only to give way to | Gunterman. None of the men were hurt seriously, simply too much knocked / out to be relied on. HARVARD WON THE TOSS. / l. -, 4 - E.,lI ing Pennsylvania the ball. The Quakers started the game at just 2:1O with a flying wedge. Knipe took the ball, and behind the Y advanced it fifteen yards. OsgoOd and Knipe then made short gains through the line, and the ball went to Harvard OIL four downs. Brewer then kicked forty yards to Brooke. Pennsylvania tried her backs through the line, but without results, and lost five yards on tumble. The ball was then passed back to Brooks, and he punted down the field thirty yards to Brewer. Harvard gained five yards by short rushes, and Brewer punted again. The ball went through over the Penn. sylvania, and was consequently down to the twenty-yard line, and the Quakers put 1t in play again. The backs tried the ends. and then the line, but made only short gains, and bad tumble gave the ball to the crimson rushers. Harvard alternately tried the ends, but could make but short gains, and she lost the ball on four downs. Pennsylvania was fumbling badly, however, and a moment later a Harvard man fell on the ball, when a Pennsylvania man dropped it. Brewer and Wrightington made good gains around the ends. and the ball was gradually forced to within four yards of the Pennsylvania line at the southwest corner of the field. IT LOOKED LIKE A TOUCHDOWN, and the Harvard rooters went wild, but on the next pass back Mackie fumbIed, and when the scrimmage was untangIed Pennsylvania had the ball. The pig skin was Immediately passed to Brooke and he kicked. Mackie, however, redeemed himself by stopping the low punt, and the ball bounded back behind the Pennsylvania lines. The Ha1ward ends were after it like a flash. and Brooke was forced to fall on it, making a safety tOuch-back and scoring two points for Harvard. Then from all the sides of the field the tumult broke forth. and the wild cheers of the admirers of the crimson echoed and re-echoed, and were answered but family by the wells of encouragement by the Pennsylvania contingent. When the ball was put in play again knipe went through Har- wards line for five yards. Osgood and Simmons were tried, but could not make but short gains, and on the third down Brooke punted for thirty yards, and the ball was once more in Harvard’s possession. Brewer took it on the first pass and made the first notable run of the game, plunging along for fifteen yards with the assist ance of good interference. He was , tackled hard and laid out Tor few seq onds. Brewer, Dunlop and Wrightington then made seYera! short gains in ! quick succession, and the ball was forced by short ruSheS to within three YARDS of the Pennsylvania line. The Quakers resisted stubbornly, but Brewer went through the line like an eel and SCORED THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN of the game. Brewer kicked a goal and the score stood to U in favor of the crimson. EmmOns was injured in this !, scrimmage and had to be taken from { the field. The ball was passed to Osgood who punted 10 the side, expecting t0 fool Harvard and give Simmons an . opportunity TO score. He fumbled. however, and was quickly downed. : The ball remained in Pennsylvania 9
