BLUES LOSE THEIR GRIP, Giving the Victory to the Quakers by a Score Of t8 to 4. Of 18 to 4. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 29.-PennSyl- Vania, Is; Harvard, +. That is the score b. which the wearers of the red and blue today trampled the beautiful silken flag of the crimson into the dust. 1t was grand victory, and one that has a world of meaning 10 the sturdy roanS Of Old Pennsylvania. 1t places a new star in the football armament, and undOubtedly gives Pennsylvania the championship Of the gridirOn for 1894. When the crowd began to gather at the grounds there was a grand crush. There was pushing, showing. swearing and tearing of clothing until finally the crowd became partially civilized and commenced to enter the gate in the proper manner. So dense was the thrOng that many were still outside of the gates at ? O’clock. when play should have commenced, but to enable them to have an equal chance with the early cOmeIs the game was not started promptly on that hour. When the hands of the big clock on the university building pointed 2o’clock the crowd became restless and admirers of the two teams yelled themselves hOarse in their endeav0r to Outdo each other. Finally when at 2:l2 Capt. Knipe ANA his band of warriors came on the field from the southeast end Of the grounds the cheering became deafening and was prolonged for almost FIVE minutes. Ii mad not ceased when a few minutes later Capt. Emmons and his team, ten sturdy men, came in at the same point. The captains were called to the center of the field and instructed as to the the rules and style of play, and the crowd gave sigh and settled back to await almost breathlesSly – the whistle announcing the call of play. The MeIl Line Up. As early as II o’clock long lines of the long-haired enthusiasts were Strug- Cling to gain admission TO the grounds. As time wore on the crowd increased rather than diminished, and at o’clock there were still thousands who were scrambling for admission. The four huge stands were crowded aud there the low fence which surrounded the field. The sight was beautiful one. Crimson, red and blue flags were every where. Everybody was at the grounds, from the small boy with his tin horn to the head of the family with All eight by ten flag. The betting just previous to the time the game began was 5 to on Pennsylvania. The teams lined up as follows: l. of P Harvard WagonhursL. Left tackle, Halloweu OOdruff. ......... Lett guard ........ Mackie Bull --............. Center. F. Shaw Wharton. Right guard. ........J.

Brewer Brooke. Fullback 1890. Fairchild ThePennsylvania boys were the first to come on the field. They made their appearance from the southeast corner at precisely 2 O’clock, George Brooke being in the lead. This was the signal for wild cheering on the part of the Pennsylvania followers. All the team seemed in perfect condition, and put in few minutes throwing the ball around and holding secret conferences. Brooks dropped few goals from the fOrty-yard line. and from the way in which Capt. Klipe pranced around, nc one would imagine that he was the man who a few days ago was in doubt as to whether he would be able TO take his place at left half-back just fifteen minutes later the Harvard boys made their appearance at the same corner. This was the sign for thousands OF crimson flags to wave frantically from each of the big stands. The boys trcm Cambridge went through practice for few moments and then the great game was on. The Game Begins. Laurie Bliss was chosen referee, and Paul Dashiel umpire; lInesmen, DR.. Brooks and Charles SchOff. Both teams were called TO the center by the referee and given instructions as to the mode of play. Sweaters were pulled at 2:20.

Knipe made ten yards through, right, and OsgOod made eight more through left end. Gel bert was gwen the ball and made three yards through center. Harvard got the ball on tumble. &.

  RED and BLUE VICTORIOUS Pennsylvania Defeated Harvard by a Score Of Is to 4. MANY PLAYERS WERE INJURED DURING THE GAME. Crippled by the Retirement of Captain Emmons and Other of Their Best PIayers-AImost Shut Out for Har- ward. Philadelphia, November 29.-Overwhelmed, broken and shattered. fighting desperately to the last, Harvard went down before Pennsylvania in the football game this afte1noon by score of 1s to 4. The precious four was wrenched out of the jaws of defeat by desperate playing and reckless dis regard of life or limb by the wearers Of the crimson. Harvard is defeated but no dis grace is attached to the overthrow. as they played magnificent game from the start to the finish, but the loss of five of their best men from injuries weakened them when their help was most needed. The Harvard men showed the effects of the terrible strug- gle they went through at Springfield, Sat uIday last, and in almost every rush some one of their bruised and battered players would remain stretched out helpless ON the turf. Early in the game Harvard suff- cred irreparable loss in an injury and re- tirement of Captain Emons. and before the game was over Fairohiid, Charlie Brewer, Hallowell and Frank Shaw were borne first point three minutes before the call of time in the first half, when Colbert threw Hayes across the line after catching punt for a safety touchdown. In the second half Pennsylvania scored three touchdowus from two of which goals were kicked, max ing total score for the red and blue of 13. Waters made HaIvards one touchdown about the middle of the second half, and Il 4,,+I 1afJ lad fnty <,fc Harvard did not succeed in scoring again, and but for a palpable oversight ON the part of the umpire. Harvard would prob ably have been shut out. I’ll he ball was punt ed into Pennsylvania’s territory and strik- Ing on the ground .one of the Harvard rush ers kicked it against Brooke’s body. 1t bounded back and Harvard man fell up on it. The umpire gase the ball to Harvard, though it clearly was an ofiside play. Then it was by series Of fierce naunges through, the Pennsylvania line from The twenty-five yard line. that the crimson carried the ball up and over the goal line of tine red and blue. The fine condition of the Pennyslvamia players told as the struggle progI essed. and from the middle of the first half until the end of the game, with one exception when Harvard made the touchdown, the play WAS uOSbiy III Guo CIlHSOu .toII1toEJ. CLEAN PLAYING. Though Pennsy1yania’s play lacked the fierce rush that overhore Princeton, still, as the certainty of victory grew brighter, they played with Increasing ardor. and towards the close of the game they were sweeping Harvard resistlessly before them. Though Harvard’s list of casualties is large, it is due only to the hard game being played andsthe poor condition of the HaI- yard men,. No slugging or brutal playing was INDUCED in by either team. and only good hard, clean football was played by both sides. Throughout the game the best of feeling was shown byralT1he players. | The Pennsylanians tonight are in a delir- | ium of joy, for through Tong years of defeat lathey have struggled on to victory. They close this seaon with untarnished record of victories. They claim that they fairly are entitled to the honor of the cbampionship of the college football world, as Yale refused to meet them, and as they defeated Harvard by larger score than the blue made The Pennsylvania await anxiously the result of the Yale-Princeton game Saturday. If the tigers should defeat the New Haven boys, the Pennsylvanias will assert they have a clear title to the championship NEVER was there a more perfectly ideal day for | football game. The Gun came up this NOM | ing in a oloudless sky, and the crisp cold air sent the blood dancing through the | veins. | This morning. Laurie Bliss of Yale, was | chosen referee, and Harvard withdrew her | objections to DR.. Paul Dashiel of Lehigh | for umpire. Brooke of Harvard. and Schoff | of Pennsylvania were linesmen. During the forenoon both teams passed | the time resting. The gridiron was level | as board and firm as asphalt pavement | The stands accom- modated $1,000, and as | two O’Clock appoarched $4,000 people were | seated on them. Space that would accom- | modate 40OU more people, represented tick | cts sold to speoulators.w expected to reap | a harvest of dollars but were left BY | two the air was almost balmy The big south stand was smoving mass of human ity which made it presence evident by way ing thousands of red and blue flags. Thun- | derous cheers and college songs were in ! dulped in In the north stand was the big | hand of Harvard students and alumni | thoush outnunbered ten to one their en- | thpsiasm was only limited.by the strength | of their vocal organs. They gave back cheer for cheer to the opposing stand. At five | minute of two the Pennsylvania team | bounded over the fence and upon the field and for several minutes partisans of the | pannsvlvanias INDUCED in deafening | cheers. The team practiced about fifteen minut es then the Harvard team jumped over the | fence into the field. Friends of the crims on raised a cheer which must have echoed | squares away. THE GAME. | Emmons and Kniped had a conference in the centre of the field and at 2.I5 a coin was tossed. Luck favored the Har- ward men but there was little choice in the | two GOALS. The wind was not strong and was blowing straight across the field and hardly a zephyr ,aised the dust OF the grid iron as the big north stand completely shut the field off.
