Louis University. Superior weight and brawn were opposed to snappy play and clever team work in the game between St. Louis University and the East St. Louis Hfgh School Alumni football elevens at Sportsman's Park Saturday afternoon. It was a clean-cut.

aggressive contest The opposing teams were well matched, and at tne end of the two 20-minute halves neither had befn able to score. East St. Louis was re-enforced by the addition of Adams, the captain, and several players of the East St. Louis High School. The boys from across the river outweighed Delaney's warriors 12 pounds to the man.

Yet. in the second half, the Varsity compelled the East St. Louis full to punt repeatfdly. and the ball, most or the time, was threatenlnglv near the East St. Louis goal.

The University showed greatly improved form. It was a kicking game. Perlimaiin gained valuable ground with his trusty foot. Several times, when East St. Louis had a touchdown in sight, he booted the oval down the field.

One of his punts sailed 70 yards. Morlarty, the consistent right pnd. saved the day. East St. Louis had worked the ball to the yard line with Irresistible plunges through the line by McHenry and Hfgue.

On the second down Fitzponer got through and tackled the runner for a loss. On the next play the university forwards broke through so fiercely and tackled Woods on an end run play so aggressively that he dropped the ball. Like a flash Morlarty was on it. Pechmann made his 70-yard punt and the university rooters cheered tumultuously. Morlarty made four similar plays and not an Inch was gained around his end.

Fltzporter's breaking through was a feature. Wlthnell and Dillon made some thrilling open field tackles that brought resounding applause. But for several disastrous fumbles when the ball was dangerously near the East St. Louis line in the second half St. Louis-would have scored.

Eggpnian Brothers Out of Game. For East St. Louis the three Laumans were a tower of strength. The three Egg-mann brothers and Dennis and White were unable to play, parental opposition having been interposed ever since the accident at Staunton when Edward Smith was killed. The substitutes did so well that they were not missed.

It was the best football displayed at Sportsman's Park this season and Delaney's men gained much ground on trick plays, the coach being well pleased with their rapid improvement. All were in good condition after the bruising fast game. The lineup: St. Inis C. Mcrlarty FIt7.jMrter c'othett, Dlttle.

8. Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania football teams had a battle royal on Soldiers' Field today and Harvard won, 11 to 0. King, Harvard's great center, did not play, on account of protests regarding his eligibility. It was the first game of the season between two members of the "Big Four," and a tremendous crowd of 25,000 loud-singing men and women Jammed the grounds and the stands. The line-up: Harvard.

The game was started at 2 p. m. Harvard took advantage of the strong wird and by magnificent kicks by Kernan kept the ball well down In Pennsvlvania's tirritcry.

A few minutes after the game commenced Harvard worked the ball down to the Pennsylvania 10-yard line. There the ball wnt to the other side for holding and Bennett kicked out of danger to the visitors' 4.i yard line. From this point Harvard worked the ball down to Pennsylvania's four-yard line. Graydon's hurdling and a 12-vard run by Kernan figuring in the advance. Putnam was then sent around left end, but he fumbled the tall and Pennsylvania recovered It a foot from her own goal.

Here Pennsylvania took a wonderful brace, and for a few minutes ripped up the crimson line, and In three successive plavs they advanced the ball to the nine-vard line but there the crimson line held like a' stone wall and Pennsylvania was forced to punt. Bennett's Kick Was a Honey. Bennett stood on the goal line. Just a yard from the left post, and booted the ball 2S yards to Marshall, wno was tackled by Metzer and thrown fiercely to the ground. From this point it was a case of bhort smashing gains through the Quaker line, oraydon, Kernan and Putnam rushed through for spurts of a yard or two yards each, while Knowlton and Shea were used on fourth downs to Bowl for the necessary five yards.

Three, times were the linemen called out to measure the distance on the last down, and on each occasion the ball was found to be Harvard's by an inch or so. In this hammer and tongs fashion the pigskin jolted down the field and in spite of a determined resistance by Pennsylvania on the three-yard line Graydon was sent crashing over the line for a touchdown. Barnard brought the ball out directly before the goal posts, but missed an easy goal. Score: Harvard, Pennsylvania, 0. The two teams then changed sides, Penn this time having the wind behind her back.

Bennett sent the pigskin sailing toward I'utnim, who let it slip through his fingers. It rolled biifk toward the crimson goal and was recovered on the one-yard line, when a touehback seemed inevitable. This evidently scared Harvard, for she bucked up and sent Graydon crashing through for five yards. On the next play Kernan broke around left end. and before fie was tackled by Dale, had the pigskin 24 yards.

On the US-yard line Penn made a tand, Richardson nailed Kernan behind the line for a los3 of three yards and Harvard, failing to gain her distance, punted to Dale on Penn's 44-yard line. An exchange of punts followed, in which neither side obtained an advantage. StiTlman was substituted for Kernan, and in spite of the wln.l against him, easily held his own against Bennett, who punted for the other side. Both sides got down very fast on dri'es and the runners, without exception, were downed in their tracks. Just before the half closed Harvard got tho ball on the 47-yard line and started with grim determination for Pennsylvania's goal.

Graydon was used in almost every play, rushing through both sides of the line for gains of from 3 to 8 yards. In this way the ball was advanced to Pennsylvania's 24-yard line. Penn Rooters Held a Lovefeast. Between the halves Pennsylvania supporters got down on the field and held a rousing celebration. In the second half Harvard kicked oft to Pennsylvania, who rushed fie ball back DOCAD.

By a margin of four Inches Washington University's football team failed to score on the strong eleven from the Missouri University yesterday afternoon at league Park. Outweighed, outplayed and outclassed, the local eleven had tut cne chance to score and. failing In that, was defeated 27 to 0. Darkness alone prevented a still larger tally from being registered against It. Washington's opportunity came in the first half, when the ball, as much by chance as by good work, was within 40 yards of Missouri's goal and directly in front of It.

Failing to gain two downs, Capt. Krause dropped Larson back for what appeared an Impossible try for goal from the 40-yard line. Larson made an excellent effort, the ball going straight between the posts for what seemed to be a sure score one that would have tied the tally at the time. however, the ball fell and hit the goal bar, dropping back into the field of play. Washington was bitterly disappointed over the narrow failure and lost heart from that time.

Washington Hopelessly-Outclassed by Weight. The battle was Missouri's from the outset. From the first appearance of the Tigers on the field It was apparent to the 3000 enthusiasts present in the stands and In rigs on the side lines that the local men were hopelessly outclassed In weight. Coach O'Dea of the Missouri men admitted that his eleven weighed, stripped, an average of 170 pounds an average which exceeded the Washington average by at least ten pounds cer man. With a lighter team, made up partly of substitutes, Washington's chances wasted to nothing after the first minute of play.

Neglecting the ends almost entirely, Missouri dlreced -the bulk of her attack at Washington's 'lne and pounded away on both sides for big gains. From tackle to tackle, Washington never offered a resistance that could stop the heavy plunges and agile hurdling of the visitors, who literally walked over Washington's center for all sorts of gains. Boberts' Injury-Forced His Betirement. Washington did Its little best, but that was totally inadequate to stopping Missouri. The chances of the home team wens early affected by an injury to Roberts, which compelled his retirement from the game before the close of the first half.

The enemy sought Robrts and as he was In every play, hard work on him eventually put him out with a broken shoulder. It is probable he will be unable to play again this season. The entire field of Missouri did yeoman work in carrying the ball. The Tigers took all sorts of daring chances. They hurdled the line, when Washington played low, and tore through It when the locals Slayed high.

A few times Smith and An-erson skirted the Washington ends, but for the most part the plays of the visitors was at Washington's line. Ellis at tacltle did great work for the visitors and repeatedly carried the ball ahead with half the local eleven on his shoulders. Washington Off Color When at Tackle. "Washington's principal fault was want of weight and failure to tackle properly. Missouri men made yards upon yards after the locals had their hands' upon the runner.

Bischoff, Gordon. Roberts and Smith did the best work at tackling, but the rest or the eleven was badly off color at times. On the aggressive, fumbles and holding loBt Washington the ball several times at moments when the team was settling down to work. Bischoff was the only consistent ground gainer for the eleven and his work throughout was especially worthy of note. The little fellow had the ball several times In the brief Intervals in which Washington had possession, and never failed to make his gain.

Twice he covered ground lor good advances once making yards before being downed. Missouri got the ball on the klckoff and brought it back to its own 40-yard lino on good interferences for Birney. From the tart Missouri opened up an attack on center, as If it were perfectly familiar with Washington's weakness, and on plunges by all the backs and the taklas carried the ball down the field to Washington's 30-yard line without Interruption. Tigers Uses Wulff Against St. Louis.

Here a fumble gave Washington the ball and its first chance to show what it could do. Smith hit left end for four yards, but a fumble on the next play gave Missouri the ball on the line. From this point Missouri, hammering principally on Washington's tackles and guards, and using a St. Louis boy. Wulff, for big gains, swept down the field Jlsneartenlngly for the first tally, Ana mom going over.

Ardinger inissod the try for goal. The Missouri men took exactly eight minutes to tally their first touchdown. Missouri fought 13 minutes before she could shove the ball over for another soore. In that interval Washington missed the one chance of the game for tallying. On the kick-off the ball went into touch and Missouri punted from the 25-yard line.

Roberts got the ball and took it back to Washington's 40-vard line before being tackled. After a few short gains Washington was held for two downs and Larson was dropped 'back for a try for a place kick from Missouri's 40-yard line. The try was next to perfect, and had the ball been four inches higher In the air the locals would have scored. Place-Kicked Ball Hit the Goal Bar. In the scramble after the ball it hit the goal' bar.

Missouri got the ball on their six-yard line and carried straight down the field for a touchdown, the only interruption being for a brief space in which ushlngton gained and lost the hall on the apin foul play holding. Ardinger and Wulff again did great work In this Interval, and the former was eventually shoved over for the score. lie also kicked tho goal. Missouri scored after the next klckoiT without lostrg the ball. Washington offering an inferior defense and Ellis doing great work for the visitors.

Washington seamed unable to stop the Missouri captain and tickle and frequently he carried several of the Myrtle and Maroon eleven several yards down the field. Missouri stRrted out again on the old hammering of the line, but lost the ball becnuse of holding. Larson and Anlmosa had an exchange of fisticuffs, but the disturbance was speedily stopped without either being disqualified. Washington be-ran like a whirlwind after getting the ball, lllsehoff making a great dash around left nd for 20 yards, but on the next plav a futnnlo Rave the ball to Missouri, and another series of hard bucks netted a score RUPTURE Peaitivsly and permanently cured.
