  University of Pennsylvania’s Football Team Defeated rs to 4 in a Battle on Jarvis Field. NOTRE DAME HARD TO BEAT Hillsdale DOwned by the North ern Indiana Champions. University of Chicago Defeated by the University of Michigan Oh a Snow Covered GridirOn. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 30.-Crimson is a popular color in this city tonight; in fact, any shade of red goes. The traditional ghost of Jarvis Field is laid and the shadow of the Thanksgiving turkey of history is dancing madly upon the newly made grave. All Harvard is wildly hi larious and growing more so as the night ages. For what? Why, bless you, Harvard Drawn triumphed to-day, dragged down from it’s lofty pedestal the pride of Penn ~sylvania, mopped it about in Cambridge clay and then sat upon it-yes, actually did all this. Harvard’s boys defeated the crack team Of the University of Pennsylvania by a score of 26 to 4. A pleasanter fall day never shone over New England. The 1900 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 Charley Brewer, the crimson full back. His playing was phenomenal and ranks him with the few who hold first places. Time after time ne would catch one of Brooke’s long punts, simply dash by the Quaker ends, who rushed down ready to gobble him in their arms, and then dash ahead. aided by i’m promptu 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 a year ago against Harvard is well here. The game was made up entirely of kicks and good straight plays. Harvard only tried once the fancy side wedge. which was sent bucking against Yale SO often. Doctors were in frequent demand, and kept running UP continually looking al some injured man. First Emmons was dazed, and Charley Brewers brother Ar thur took his place. Then Reese was hurt and 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 was hurt s~eriously-simply toe much knocked out to be relied on. Two Yale men refereed and umpired the game-Hart and Gill, respectively. The | lineup was as follows.
