PENNSYLVANIA, 8; HARVARD, 6,
The Crimson Played Brilliantly but
Lacked Physical Endurance,
Harvard met the University of Penn-
sylvania in football last Saturday for
the third successive season and for
the third time suffered defeat at her
hands. The game was played on
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, and the
score was 6 to 8.
The victory of Pennsylvania is gen-
erally attributed to her superior phy-
sical endurance, for in the first half
the Harvard men clearly outplayed
their opponents, and only later on in
the game, when three’ substitutes
were put in, were any scores made
against them. Pennsylvania on the
other hand had no cause for retiring
any one of the eleven men from the
contest, who started in at the begin-
ning of the game. The score shows
that the game must have been very
close and exciting and not until the
referee’s whistle blew for the final
“time” was it possible to say who had
won.
A remarkable feature of the game
was the great difference that existed
between the styles of game played
in*the two halves. At the outset Har-
vard’s Sympathizers were kept on their
feet chéering the brilliant plays of
Captain Wrightington and his men,
while the Quakers were clearly out-
‘eldsged and found the play almost en-
tirely im their territory. The first
score was made by Harvard in this
half by a blocked kick, which Minds
was. slow in getting off. The ball
rolled: nearly to the goal line where a
Harvard rusher, the omnipresent Ca-
bot, fell on it. A center play carried
it over for the first touch-down, from
which a goal was kicked. Harvard’s
play during this half was character-
ized by long and brilliant rushes ef-
fected by tricks, while on the offense,
and by stubborn resistance’ whilé” on ~~
the defense. Pennsylvania was only
able to hold on downs when their goal
was in imminent danger and they had
to muster their forces for a most
desperate. resisitanee. Pennsylvania
gained occasionally through Harvard’s
center, but found the ends absolutely
impregnable, for Moulton and Cabot,
for Harvard, were playing most bril-
liantly at the two ends of the line. In
kicking Minds had been found inef-
fective owing to his ‘slowness and
Captain Wharton
‘ouards-back’”’ interference, which was
ultimately the means of wearing out
Harvard’s defense and winning the
game.
THE SECOND HALF.
In the second half both teams started
in to play about the same style of
game as in the first half, but after
ten minutes Dunlop was forced to
leave the Harvard ranks, the fierce
contest began to tell on Harvard’s de-
fense and the Quakers became irresis-
tible. Yard by yard they advanced the
ball down the field, tearing great
holes in the Crimson line, by means
of their great center tandem play. Af-
ter reaching Harvard’s five yard line
in this manner, and when it seemed
almost inevitable that Pennsylvania
would score, one of her backs fumbled
and Cabot secured the ball. Instead
of punting the leather out of danger,
as would have been the wiser plan,
Beale signaled for a double pass. The
Pennsylvania forwards were on the
Harvard backs immediately and threw
them back of the line for a safety.
The score stood 6 to 2 in favor of Har-
vard.
Harvard kicked out from the 20-
yard line, and after a few short
rushes Minds made the sensational run
of the day, covering 45 yards and
falling over the Harvard goal line for
an apparent’ touch-down. Referee
Hickok called him back to a point
where he stepped out of bounds and
after considerable discussion the play
was renewed,
Harvard again obtained possessiox
of the ball and kicked to the center
of the field. This time the wearers of
the red and blue did not give up the
ball until they had carried it over
the line and evened the score. Wood-
ruff kicked the goal and Pennsylvania
resorted to his

was two points ahead. The score TrC-
mained 8 to 6 in favor of the Quakers
until the end of the game.
Minds did the best individual work
for Pennsylvania, while Captain

WEEKLY
FHE: BOOK SHELF.
(Conducted by ALBERT LEE, ’91.]
The English language is certainly
rich enough to provide a _ sufficiency
‘of words and expressions for the use
of our romance writers. There is no
necessity to borrow from the French
in. the telling of the general run of
stories; but the author who will drag
French into his text can never be for-
given for mis-spelling; he cannot
make us believe that these are typo-
graphical errors, for he should make
it his business, under the circum-
Stances, to hold the presses until he is
absolutely sure that at least every for-
¢ign phrase in his book is correctly
set down. I recall only two French
words in Mr. Clinton Ross’s ‘The
Puppet” (New York: Stone & Kim-
ball), and both are mis-spelled; there
may be others, but these two jumped
‘at my eye. There is consolation for
them, however, for I have never be-
fore seen a book from the press of
Messrs. Stone & Kimball with so large
a percentage of typograp.ieal. error.
On one page the same proper name is
Spelled in two different ways. This
is worse than carelessness, and is the
more to be regretted because these
mechanical shortcomings deface a
really very interesting story.
“The Puppet’ is beyond question
the best thing that Mr. Ross has yet
dene. There is no doubt -that the
memory of “The Prisoner of Zenda’
“was father to this tale; tut Mr. Ross
has been keen enough to see that this
fact must be patent to every reader,
and he has. been clever enough to an-
ftiGipate*criticism by admitting, in the
opening paragraph of Chapter X,
that ‘‘I read the other day a romance,
-of which many people are _ talking,
about a man who played the part of a
king.” But “The Puppet’, in spite of
being reminiscent of Ruritania, (per-
- haps I would better say, for that very
‘reason,) is a well-spun yarn, and I
only regret that Mr. Ross did not
stretch it out to twice its length. The
opening chapter is especially artistic,
from the point of view of literary con-
struction, and I doubt if any one will
put the book down unfinished after
Of an entirely different kind of in-
terest is E. Boyd Smith’s “My Vil-
lage’. (New York: Charles Scribners’
Sons). Here are a series of sketches
written by an artist who has lived in
a little French town. How true to life
these outlines and descriptions § are,
may only be realized by him who has
dwelt among similar scenes. I can
affirm. that they are absolutely faith-
ful, and some of the author’s refiect-
ions are worthy of more attention
than they will probably get.from the’
casual reader. One of them, which
particularly appeals to me, (for, as a
boy, I frolicked at many a fete,—at
Pontoise, too, which is near Valombre)
is the comment on the fete de Va-
lombre, the annual festival, which is
a combination of our American circus
day and county fair, only a thousand
times better and more refined. Mr.
Smith describes it well, and adds, ‘‘The
fete scheme seems to me to be a Cap-
ital system * * * The whole thing
gave the village a» good, thorough
shaking up, a dose of moral physic,—
loosening its purse-strings, and get-
ting it into the habit of spending
money for enjoyment, and also teach-
ing it how to enjoy life in a modest,
healthy way. I really believe that
every country and people would be
better for such fetes. Their effect is
essentially civilizing. They counter-
act, in a good, healthy way, the nat-
ural tendency to fall into a narrow,
mercenary rut, and make people’s
hearts bigger and happier.’’
We have also received: ‘“‘A Guest at
the Ludlow,” by Bill Nye (Indian-
apolis: The Bowen-Merrill Co.), which
is a collection of some of the late hu-
morist’s best and funniest yarns;

Brodbeck (New York: The Metaphy-

A Call for Better Grounds.
Editor ‘Yale Alumni Weekly:
Dear Sir:—I have just received my
seats for the Princeton-Yale game,
but find they are behind the goal
post,—surely a delightful place from
which to see the game.
Is it not about time that something
was done towards procuring a field,
with stands so constructed that the
number of seats are in some propor-
tion to the demand for them?
I saw the game between Harvard
and Princeton at Cambridge. The
stands were arranged in the manner
of those in Springfield, and I was
told, capable of seating 20,000 people.
A good view of the game could be ob-
tained from nearly any seat. The
stands at Princeton this year would
seat about 15,000 peopie.
The stands on Manhattan Field are
from their peculiar construction (one
being put up for baseball and another
for a horse show) entirely unsuited
to their present purpose. The Grand
Stand is over 150 feet away from the
field, instead of rising from the side
lines as it should. If the game must
be played in New York, where the de-
mand for seats will always be very
great, certainly those who manage the
game, should try to find adequate ac-
commodations.» The absurdity of only
having 13,000 seats including boxes in
New York, when at Springfield, the
stands could seat over 20,000, is most
apparent.
I fully appreciate that a movement
to remedy this must be led by those
whose authority in University affairs,
by the accommodations w they
rightly secure for themselves enables
them to escape the discomfort, which
some of us are put to, who haven't
such authority. I trust, however,
that the Yale Alumni Weekly will
take this matter up and try for better
arrangements next year. Forty thou-
sand people could easily view a foot-
ball game if the proper stands were
constructed and then, an alumnus
would stand some chance of getting a
seat somewhere. else than hehind a
goal post.
Yours very truly,
HARRY H. BOTTOME,
Class of 793.
