YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY Ze 67 HARVARD 10—PENN. 0. Yale Men Who Saw the Game Be- lieve Their Team Has a Chance, Cambridge, Nov. 8—Harvard de- feated the University of Pennsylvania, Saturday, Noy. 5;-0n Soldiers Field by the score of Io to 0, in a clean and interesting football game, and were cheered along by a crowd of fifteen thousand spectators. The defeat was an unexpected one for the visitors, as they had come to believe the guards back formation was irresistible in its ground-gaining qualities, and the long list of victories, including four straight from Harvard, in which it played an important part, gave their belief much weight. Few teams had stopped it be- fore even temporarily, but the Crimson threw it back time and time again without a gain and tired out the Penn- sylvania men through superior physical condition. FRANK H. CHASE TUTOR IN ENGLISH. Harvard won her first touchdown by an immediate acceptance of an oppor- tunity that rarely presents itself in a championship game On the opening kick-off by Haughton, Coombs, stand- ing on Pennsylvania’s 15 yard line, fum- bled the ball. He was blocked from falling on it by Hallowell, and Donald, the speedy tackle, who had come down the field like the wind, seized the ball and carried it over the line for a touch- down within 15 seconds of the begin- ning of the game. Pennsylvania’s savage assaults to retrieve herself were met coolly by the Harvard forwards aided by the backs, and though Harvard was forced well down in her own EMERSON G.

Pennsylvania made an unsuccessful try at a goal from the scrimmage on Harvard’s 15 yard line. In the second half Harvard played a kicking game,,and so admirably did Haughton place his punts that each exchange yielded Harvard large gains. Pennsylvania was extremely weak in the back field and muffed and lost the ball frequently, so that the game went from her side of the field only a few times and she had but little chance to score. Harvard last five points were made by Burdett on a place-kick from Pennsylvania’s 4o-yard line. When time was called Harvard had the ball on their demoralized opponents’ tI-yard line. The opinions of many Yale men who watched the play seem to be that Yale has a chance to win on the 19th because Haughton will meet his match in Mc- Bride in a kicking game, and the Har- vard forwards will find the Yale line stiffer than that of Pennsylvania. po oa>— a Sie Obituary.
