  WHY HARVARD is SAD. ~ q Score OF IL to D the Crimson Ii De- feated by Pennsylvania. feated by Pennsylvania. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 29.-Pennsy lvania. IL Harvard, 0-that tells the tale OF one OF the keenest dsappointments that the Grim son has ever had-the turning OF an an ticipated triumphal march into funeral procession But IL also tells OF joys I’M bounded revenge OF the sweetest favor. II 10 the first time Harvard has been defeated by Pennsylvania since 1897, and II came in the first contest the two rivals have had on the gridiron inside the new Stadium. Incidentally, 1t still leaves Harvard with out a victory in championship game on her new field. and IL was the first time that the Crimson has been scored on this fall. That which Harvard prophets had predicted would surely not happen. namely. that Pennsylvania would be able to score at straight football. was just what defeated Capt Hurley’s team this afternoon. In the first half Pennsylvania. first, by steady advances. took the ba Il from Harvsrd’s 81 yard line straight down the field for a score. and later, In the same half. from Harvards 20 yard line. In the first half Harvard was able to make her first down only four times. while her opponents rushed the ball more ‘hsn the length OF the field But this first period was not to be duplicated In the second, for this time Harvard did all the playing. Three times Harvard was in striking distance. but each time she lost the ball within the very shadow Of the goal posts. First she lost it on the s yard line, then on the ~ yard line and then on the is yard line. each time after having rushed 1t down the field from forty to fifty yards. The blame for the defeat lies with the line. for the Harvard back field played wonder full game from first to last. In the line the greatest weakness was at end. To think OF putting a man into a championship game who has had but comparatively few days experience at the game and who has been on the field twice in two weeks. including to-day! That was the case of FIlley. and. though he tried hard, he did not know what At the other end Leary played: He has been thus far this season. in spite OF the fact that he made a few star plays in three games. did not warrant his being in the game, pennsyiVsnia players. they went through him or over him Just as though he were not there all 0u 81 Se Of snd ssm 20 end the HARVARD line was clearly outplayed.
