  HARVARD WINS BY Low SCORE Penn State Plays Gamely Against Crimson, but Fortune FrOWnS. Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 30.-The god of battles was with the Crimson war riors Of Harvard in their Is to vic tory over the husky team from Penn State in the Stadium to-day. The 90 coo spectators were treated to the hardest fought game of the season. Only the luck of the game and Penn States ovcranXiety prevented score and probably a tie. Harvard was fortunate TO get its touchdown in the second period, as II came through Ewing’s error of judgment on u punt. He tried to allow the ball to roll over the goal line for a touchback. but it struck him ms he stood on his 12-yard line, and before he could go after il Harte had Shout dered him out of the play and Parson, of Harvard, had fallen on the ball for six points. Until this bitter touch Of adversely the Penn men had clearly outplayed their rivals, even more so than Cornell. for their backs made longer gains than those of any other team which has played in the Stadium for several years. The Penn State men were too anxious to get going. and their holding cost 1lem DNNSlDaN lND NNN’iiNNfF ‘lH’ ~ clearly lost one because one Of their ulavers wrapped himself around Harward man while Bergman ploughed through the Crimson defence for what all the spectators thought was score. The officials saw the infraction Of the rules, however, and Bergman great effort went for naught. Breaks of Game Count. Penn States linemen seemed To have the lump on the Crimson forwards, and the breaks of the game were the fac tors which brought success to the Haughton machine. Captain Wood &c Penn state won The toss. and chose the south goal with the wind at his back Mahan kicked over the line, and Penn state nut the ball in play on the 2O-yard mark. Ewing slipped through Dad, nun on the first rush for a 5U,yatu Gain.

  YALE NOT FAv0RI1E Colgate Expected to Defeat Bulldog Today j NEW YORK. Oct. sN--Eli Yafes battered old bull DOG. bloody and bewildered at the way the smali boys are plundering hts orchard. will make a last ditch stand at New Haven today against Colgate. Already beaten twice. this strange ly weird season. by smaller eleveus. a licking today will dust about COM plete the devastation Of the Blue. And few doubt but the Blue will get her tanning. for Colgate. small as she Is. has not had her gva! line crossed this season. -, Up at Cambridge, another Old Sol der will make q. stand 10 prevent . similar fate. Harvard meets Penn State, who already has beaten Penn sylvania this season. and has . whsle OF q good eleven. Probably for the inst time In history, with the exception Of the Yale-Harvard date. II can be said that practically all the big elevens In the cost have easy games today. Only a surprising reversal OF form can prevent . rout ~ New Haven today. Colgate has not only held her opponents scoreless this sea- ION. but she has rolled up the high st total of any aggregation In the asst and two weeks ago licked the Army, 13 to 0. All OF which Is a mansfield sort of record Colgate knows the Blue isn’t insincible. for she licked her two years ago, IL TO z. ~ Harvard, despite her rather shaky position in the football planet. is favorite over Penn State In betting circles. The ront OF the Crimson has not been decisive enough yet to destroy confidence in the big Cambridge machine. Foot ball followers have wholesome re spect tor Eddie Mahan. and partici,larry for Eddie Mahan’s toe. The Penn Staters last year held the Crimson TO 1913 tie and neither has as good team as last year. The struggle should be pattern maker for other close fights, unless everything goes wrong, including the grand dope. Princeton has wnat should be little more than q practice game to day with williams. That Coach Speedy Rush considers 1t thus Is sesn in the fact that he is sending Can’t, Click and four other regulars to look over Harvard. with whom the Tigers will clash next Saturday
