PENNSYLVANIA, 15—HARVARD, 6
A Hard Fought Game—The ‘“‘Guards
Back” Play.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.|]
(This account was crowded out by press of matter
last week.
Cambridge, November 22.—Harvard
concluded the football season last Sat-
urday by a well played game in Phila-
delphia, in which the University of
Pennsylvania won by a score of 15 to 6.
Harvard’s eleven played hard, aggres-
sive football, but was defeated mainly
because of its inability to stop the
“ouards back” mass plays which the
home team relied on to gain ground.
The Crimson team Saturday was not
made up as strongly as was that which
faced Yale a week earlier, but there was
more earnestness and dash in the play.
The Pennsylvania line was not as
strong in defense as was Yale’s and
Harvard players on the defensive were
able to stop most of the plays of their
opponents. The “guards back” forma-
tion, directed with great force against
the weak spots in the Crimson line,
was the one marked exception.
Harvard, as usual, lost the toss, and
Captain Minds chose the wind, giving
the visitors the ball. When the game
started, an audience estimated at 27,000
surrounded the gridiron. The weather
was propitious, but the field, which
looked to be in good condition, proved
to be very wet. This militated against
the success of Harvard’s open plays,
and made the task of checking Pennsyl-
vania’s momentum plays more difficult.
Haughton kicked off and Harvard,
for the first few minutes, rushed the
play. Minds was stopped promptly on
receiving the ball, and Jackson, on the
first play, lost five yards in an attempted
trick. The Quaker full-back punted,
and Harvard took the ball at the cen-
ter. A run around Hedges by Parker
yielded five yards, and Dibblee galloped
around Boyle ‘for fifteen more. But
Haughton was soon forced to punt,
Minds receiving the ball on the 5-yard
line. This ended Harvard’s only cam-
paign in the enemy’s country. Try as
she would, her strength was not equal
to forcing the play after that first spurt.
Pennsylvania’s first score was made
on a place kick by Minds from behind
the rush line, after Morice had failed by
a few yards to kick a goal from the
field.
Pennsylvania’s first touchdown fol-
lowed about ten minutes later. Minds
used the advantage of wind to good
effect, gaining a few yards with almost
every exchange of punts. Mass plays
were also tried at intervals with some
success. Finally Garrison threw Minds
on Harvard’s 35-yard line to prevent
him from making a fair catch for a
place kick. Fifteen yards penalty re-
sulted. Short rushes, mostly by Minds
and Hare, carried the ball over the re-
maining twenty yards for a touchdown,
from which a goal was kicked.
With the score II to 0 agaainst her
and only a few moments to play, Har-
vard kicked off again and two ex-
changes of punts resulted, leaving the
ball in Harvard’s territory near the cen-
ter line. On the first down, Harvard
used her regular formation and sent a
solid interference toward the right of
Pennsylvania’s line. Every Quaker
except Boyle rushed to meet this play,
and Parker, taking the ball, dashed
down the field on the other side, -Garri-
son blocking off Boyle and Minds when
they tried to tackle.. Haughton kicked
an easy goal. ;
THE SECOND HALF.
Harvard’s chances to win were dissi-
sipated soon after play was resumed.
Pennsylvania kicked off, and Garrison
ran the ball back fifteen yards. After
three short gains, it was lost for hold-
ing. The Quakers were not slow to
follow up this advantage. On the
third play Minds, by a double pass,
fooled the opposing forwards and got
past Harvard’s right flank for twenty
yards. Before the Crimson line rallied
Hare had broken through for a touch-
down. No goal. _Harvard’s team, in
the face of certain defeat, contested
every inch of ground.
THE GUARDS BACK. FORMATION.
Pennsylvania excelled in her well-
developed kicking game, the rapidity
with which her plays were executed,
"yA. Lode AO MINS
and the efficiency of her mass plays.
Since the game, the “guards back”
formation, as played on Saturday, has
been severely criticized on the ground
that the men started before the ball was
snapped, and that the method employed
of locking arms is not within the rules.
On this point Coach Holden of the
Harvard eleven says, in a signed inter-
view:
“As played to-day this ‘guards back’
is clearly against the rules. The men
grabbed each other around the waist,
making a solid mass. It does not seem
to me that it should be necessary, in
order to make this play a success, to
violate the rules.”

Intemperate Criticism,
[Harper’s Weekly.]
A good deal of intemperate criticism
of football is indulged in by people who
know little of the game. The Georgia
Legislature is passing a bill prohibiting |
it, and hasty persons elsewhere are urg-
ing its general suppression. Now foot-
ball is by far the best of athletic games,
and while there are many deplorable
evils in its present practice, and while
too many casualties occur by reason of
these evils, it ought not to be sup-
pressed, although there is no doubt that
it ought to be reformed. If, however,
some of the critics of the game had
acquired the power to restrain their
. tempers and to keep their heads, which
is gained on the football field, they
would not now be indulging in intem-
perate intellectual slugging on a sub-
ject which they little understand.
