make the "guards hack" system effective was lacking, and Pennsylvania wis compelled to depend on Individual effort. Their liability to fumble was increased by the undue timidity and over anxiety Which the men naturally felt after Coombs' disastrous experience. Their natural fault so exaggerated worked their downfall. Coach Woodruff, when approached after the game, had not much to say. "A team cannot win every time, and it is natural Pennsylvania should be beaten now and then.

We are of course disappointed, but cannot complain of anything except the failure of the men to handle kicks. I do not think that the offense of Harvard was as strong as our offense, nor do I think their defense was as strong. I do not believe in either particular, however, that Pennsylvania played up to the standard, and I am still to be convinced that any other system than the line bucking is not futile." Capt Outland said: "I regret that the boys did not do justice to themselves, if it had not been for our fumbling I think we would have beaten Harvard. I still think we have the stronger team and believe we should win another game if It were played tomorrow." Big "Trux" Hare, who did such phe nomenal work in every department of the game, was disposed to blame himself for not gaining ground as he usually has been accustomed to. Certainly, no one could have given a finer exhibition of individual ground gaining ability.

Cal McCracken, who also did yeoman service, took the defeat hardly and bemoaned the apparent inability of the men to play together.

That the old days of suspicion and hostility have gone was shown by the welcome which the Harvard grads extended to their former rivals from New Haven and by the frankness of the latter, who said they were on the aeld to learn what they could about Harvard's style of play and her weak points. The best known people of this part at the country occupied the seats. The governor of the commonwealth was there. Congressmen Moody and McCall and the leaders of Boston society and of the Cambridge college set. The Harvard players trotted on the field Just before 2 o'clock.

Dashiel.) Harvard won because she played sure, consistent, good football and made few if any mistakes. Every position on Harvard'a team was well filled, and her men seemed In excellent condition, very active and full of aggressive spirit. Her defense was strong, tackling sure, kicking excellent for distance anil well supported, In her running plays her interference formed quickly, ran fast, and her plays were well finished. Pennsylvania's plays were as powerful as ever, and her team played with splendid spirit, but her game was ruined by most disastrous fumbling, which the Harvard forwards were very quick to take advantage of. Not oniy were punts repeatedly muffed, but there were many fumbles behind the line in the running plays, and Harvard followed the ball so closely that in very nearly every Instance the mistake was turned to her advantage.

A very remarkable feature in the game was that the scoring was done when least expected, and when the circumstances rather called for a touchdown It was not forthcoming. Harvard's touchdown came in the twinkling of an eye from a fumbled klckoff. and blocked attempt at return. Her field goal was a long and beautiful kick. The political campaign in this is practically over.

There remain a few odds and ends to be picked up to day and Monday, but the real work Is at an end. The leaders of the principal two partiM in the state agree In regard to the general result, but they differ decidedly as to the majority which the candidates on the republican state ticket w'll receive. The republicans say that Gov Wel-cott's plurality will be increased, that at leu si 12 republican congressmen will be returned and that the legtslatun) will show little change from its prta. er.t republican aspect In both branchei.

To speak of individuals, Hare played a superb game, offensively and defensively.

His running through the line was powerful, and he was very fast around the end. McCracken was conspicuous throughout, especially In rnnning with the ball. Outland ran strongly, but his interference was "logy." Folwell played throughout excellently, and Hedges' breaking of in A. Md June. Ltbuli.

If was Harvard night with a vengeance at Borne of the local theaters, last evening. The boys who wore the crimson simply walked in, took possession, and good naturedly compelled the regular performers to become secondary characters. They came In squads, of semlmtlttary formation in some cases, shouting and cheering without hindrance from anybody. Some of them wore great crimson streamers on their hats, some Harvard flags in their lapels, and some huge paper chrysanthemums. Most of the women in the audiences, too, young and old, wore the university colors more or less conspicuously, an 1 the Park theater and the museum alt the women performers wore etlmsou ribbons.

An irresistible horde of yelling, cheering, wiiooplng and whistling Harvard boys took possession of the mu3oum and ran about everything connected with the performan of and the to suit themselves. It is doutitful if any such crowd, taking into consideration the s.ze of the auditorium, was ever seen in a Boston playhouse. ine "Jack and the Beanstalk" girls have been the object of many an outburst of youthful vocal energy from carets and Harvard boys in the past, but all deeianu last nigiit that they had i.ever seen anything to equal it before.

The boys took part in about every concerted piece of the evening, and when they u.o. not sing they whistled with an almost equal volume of sound. They threw packages of candy on the stage and pelted some of the male Derformers with paper balls and pieces of candy until in the last act the debris could have been gathered up in shovelfuls. All through the play they volunteered advice to the performers In the most nonchalant way.

They cried, "rubber neck" and "Pennsylvania, during Nellie Lynch's acrobatic fainting scene, and howled with mock indignation for long time during the last act because Louise Hepner would not light the cigarette which the business of the piece supplies her with.

Hnlden Jr, Harvard, and -hlnd. Harvard then punted to Gardiner, who fumbled, Boal following tho ball and securing it for Harvard on Pennsylvania'! BO-yard line. Again Haughton punted to within five yards of the goal line, where Gardiner caught the ball, dodged Farley and ran 10 yards before encountering Hallowell. Outland made a yard at the center, but a moment after he was thrown back with four yards' loss, after which Hare punted to Dibblee on the 45-yard line. At this stage Harvard resorted to the tactics of the latter part of the first half, and Boal was pushed Into the line for two good gains which meant nothing for Harvard, as ihe ball was taken away for holding.

Pennsylvania by this time had lest most of the aggressiveness she had brought with her Into the Fecond half and afti two weak attempts lo gain Hare punted over Daly's head, but the latter, through the brilliant blocking eff of Hallowell. ran back almost 30 yards, where he was thrown by Hare, who was down the field almost with the ends. The learns lined up ar.d Haughton sent another of hid beautiful high nunts down into the enemy's territory, Farley and Warren being on ihe 10-yard line waiting for Gardiner to take the ball when it descended. McCraeken made about four yards through a good hole opened by overfield on a fake ki -k. but Farley and Donald broke through on tin succeeding plays, and Hare was again called upon to use his good left leg.

the ball going straight to Daly, who was tackled after a short gain by Goodman, who. notwithstanding his injury. terference was sharp and effective. and behind her an ordinary breeze, which, a. though it did not blow directly down the Held, came from a quarter considerably greater than at a right angle.

Harvard had the bail, and amidst a rousing burst of cheers and song and of she mingled strains of "Pair liar-varl" and the "Red and the Blue," rendered by the bands of the respective universities, began the game that all iiarvard has been waiting four years to see. The klckofl was high and was directed to Coombs, the Pennsy I vania right halfback. Coombs misjudged the ball, then tiled to catch It. but it slid from his grasp and bounded away, lie-fore Coombs could recover a Harvard player had beaten the ball back toward the Pennsylvania goal line, Boal had cla.ped it in his arms, and before any one could realize what had happened he had touched it down behind rhe goal posts. The turbulent scene that followed is unpieet dented on Soldiers field.

The echoes of the rousing sendoff accorded the two elevens scarcely had died away wlun the thousands ar.d thousands of those who hoped to roe the crimson bieak im long, weary chuln of defeats rose as one man and gave vent to the wildest outburst of enthusiasm. The stands shook under the stamping and cheering. Along the side lines the crimson substitutes hugged each other in their wild delirium of joy. while out in the arena the delighted wearers of the crimson wrung each other's hands and started into the game with a relieved determination to win. No one seemed to mind Cochrane's failure at goal.

Ail else was forgotten in the moments of excfiement. and the Harvard followers settled back In their seats full of confiience at this opening. Real Struggle Begins. Hare kicked off to Ben Dibblee. who, following a splendid interference, carried the ball from the right to the 30-yard line.

Pennsylvania, however, fiercely tore through the crimson's line, as Warren was sent toward Cochrane's end, and there was a tumble, a Penn player falling on the ball 2 yards from Harvard's goal. Then for the fist time came the formation of Pennsylvania's famous "guards back." Quickly quarterback Gardiner shot the ill into Harrison's nrnis, and straight at Hallowell drove the entire field of the There was a slight gain. Then Hare was sent through Carnett, but the latter was no match for "Barkie" Donald's 135 pounds which stopped the play momentarily, and in the push that tollowed Pennsylvania lost three yards. Gardiner then punted to right end. Hedges almost spoiling Cochrane's catch.

Reid failed to gain through Burden, buc on the play following Warren broke away for 10 yards. Hare nailing him on the 4o-yard line. Again no hole was made for Reid, and after Gardiner broke through on Dibblee, Haughton punted, sending the bail to Gardiner, who ran nine yards before he was tackled. With the ball on her 3S-yard line Penn opened on Harvard's left tackle with four short plays, in which Carnett. Outland, Hare and Coombs carried the ball 1- Goodman and Hare, however, proved Ineffective, but on another quarter back kick Outland got the hall live yards past the middle of the field, falling on it after Coombs' fumble.

On second down Gardiner kicked again to the right. The ball bounded away from Hedges and Coombs, rippled along and went outside on the 25-yard line, where Dibblee secured it by throwing himself at full length past the quaker end. Dibblee was Immediately tried around Hallowell, but 'ost. yards, however, rewa: tig his second attempt, in which Hallowell and Warren put up a beautiful interference. Carnett generally ran strongly with the democratic vote in the state will be largely increased.

Mr Bruce has proved by no means a weak candidate. Both the state and city committees agree that he will carry the city of Boston, and the large vote which will be brought out by the congressional congests will swell the total cast for him. Regardless of what may be said for the public by the republican leaders is the stare, they are alarmed by ihe condition of things in the lOtn congressional district, and it would not surprise nionj-of those who are familiar with the situation if Congressman Barrows were de the ball.

Joe Upton, a Harvard player on the eleven that defeated Yale in 90, said last evening: 'One must admit that the game opened very auspiciously for Harvard. After all, the difference between victory and defeat is not so very much. The game wavered and rottered for many anxious moments, and no one dared say 1 ing especially well executed and sup I ported.

Harvard's ends were very fast and Hit right end, Hallowell. was es- i feated by Mr Naphen. The hard feelinr I peclally keen In all departments of end engendered by the contest for the re-' publican nomination has not entirely i disappeared in spite of all statements ui the contrary, and worse than that all I efforts to make Mr Barrows a popular candidate have lgnominlously faded. The republicans have shown absolutely no interest in his canvass. His ralll have brought out only ordinary crowds I and the receptions have been poorly at-j tended.

The party leaders have been very much alarmed at the outlook in the I district, and during the last two or I three days Col Goetting. the chairmaa of the state committee, has put prac-; tically all his time on work in this district. Y'esterday Mr Barrows and lilt friends were feeling somewhat reai-I sured, but by no means confident of success. The republicans feel sure that Mr Knox in the 5th district and Mr rush play. Her left end was exceedingly wary on intercepting quarterback kicks.

Her tackles were very strong and Houghton's punting was exceptionally fine. At quarter. Daly was apparently without fault, his handling of the ball and tackling being superb, and throughout, whether it was Daly or bblee who was responsible. Harvard's generalship was superb and nil was gotten out of her team and tho circumstances that was possible. The game, though a fierce and hard one.

was exceptionally clean and free from unfair work of nil kinds, and for excellence of play, spirit and behavior was one to be proud of as a great game of our great universities. PRAISE FOR HAUGHTON. was one of the most determined men of the eleven. Haughton then resporded with another i lofty punt, which Gardiner waited to I iake on the bound. The bail, however.

went outside on the 10-yard line, and 1 after Hare was howled for a four-I yard loss on a lake, nothing remained except to Hint This time Hare punted I higher than usual and Daly heeled the ball down on the Pennsylvania 45-yard line. rard line and Haughton punted to Coombs, who muffed it again. Once more, though it was regained by a Pennsvlvanfan and the quakers had first down on Harvard's 30-yard line. McCracken was at once sent at Haughton again, but Harvard's right tackle was impregnable. Pennsylvania hen tried her delayed pass.

in whl a ccmpeet interference plowed through the crimson's left, while Outland was given the ball for a dash around Hallowell. Hallowell, however, altl ough drawn in, recovered in time partially to throw Outland from his course and to give Haughton and Warren time to get their man. Then Hare punted. Dibblee caught the ball near the Harvard 23-yard line and, with the help of Daly, made about 10 yards, until downed by Folwell. On first down Haughton punted, Harrison making a running catch, followed by a five-yard run.

which ended abruptly when affray appeared. Carnett made his distance through Burden, and then Harrison took the ball from Outland ou a double pass at right end, being tackled from behind by Haughton right yards past the center of the field. Hare gained at center and Outland was shoved 12 yards through a w'de opening between Boal and Donald, carrying the ball 12 yards down the field. Hare was sent twice Rt the sam; positions, but could make no impression, and with the ball n-ar Harvard's 3o-yard line Gardiner booted The ball toward the side lines again, Hallowell catching it and gaining five yards. Haughton'" punt to Pennsylvania's 47-yara line was returned to Daly at Harvard's 20.

the latter dodging ledges and and gaining 20 yards, which made Harvard five yards better oft than before the exchange. From here until Cochrane made his try at goal Harvard varied her style of play but twice. Boal and Held were used repeatedly and alternately for short, decisive gains through the quakers' mlddie line. Pennsylvania got inte these plays hard, and met them with a resistance which seemed Impossible to overcome, but Harvard was not to be repulsed, and slowly pushed their opponents toward their own goal. Twice this method of attack was varied.

In one of these plays Warr-n was nailed for a considerable loss through the looseness of the Interference on Harvard's left, which was weak throughout the game. The other was one of the mest sensational plays of the afternoon. Daly took the ball on a touch pass, wheeled around behind Warren and Cochrane and scooted down and across the field to the 23-yard line, where Overfield caught him. Reid here made two short ga'ns in the center, and when Harvard was given five yards for Overfieid's Interference with the ball, it looted as though a touchdown was on the hill. Time, however, had nearly expired, There was a rharce for oniy one play, and Cochrane dropped back to try a goal from the field.

His protection was all right, and he had enough time, but the ball went wide of its mark, and, being caught by Gardiner was rushed back to Pennsylvania's 14-yard line where time was called after a short advnr.ee by Trux-ton Hare. Second Half. When the team." came on the field for the second half only one change was noticed in the makeup, that of MeMa-hon. who had taken the place of Coombs, the right halfoack of me Pennsylvania team. Both elevens seemed none the worse for th" wear of the hard wrk of the previous period.

Hare kicked off to Daly against the wind, which varied little In strength and direction from the first half. Daly caught the ball on Harvard's 20-yard and booted it down the Held, sending it end over end to Harrison, who misjudged It, fumbled and could not re cover in time to pi went a Harvard man falltrg on it before him. After two short gains Harvard tried the same play that worked so successfully when Daly made his long run in the first half. But this time Carnett got pad Donald, nailed Daly for a five-yard joss and secured tie tail for Pennsylvania on her 40-yard line. Then followed several exchanges of punts which resulted in Harvard's gain.

Pennsylvania's punts were shorter ih.in Harvard's, and the latter's were poorly handled. After these kicks each team almost invariably held the other for three downs, but in the exchange Harvard gained at least 25 yards, finally pushing Pennsylvania to ber three-yard line, where Gardiner was thrown by Cochrane after recovering a fumbled ball that the Harvard man almost se-cured. With the ball thus under her own goal posts. Pennsylvania worked two effective plays against Harvard and took hall to the 40-yard line by consistent rushing. The first play was a four-yard gain by McCracken straight through the Harvard and the second is a SO-yard run by Hare around Cochrane.

Dibblee ami Beid finally pushing him outside Here Harvard held, and on the third down Hare punted, the ball striking Boat's arm anil going to Hallowell, who was tackled on the 50-yard line by iverfleld. Cochrane was then taken out of the game and Parley put In at left end for Hnrvard. The former seemed pretty well used up. Near Pennsylvania's Goal. Without attempting to rush.

Harvard resumed her defensive policy by booting the leather back to Pennsylvania's own bailiwick, and as usual Gardiner muffed the ball, and when Burden fell on It for Harvard the first enthusiasm of the half was awakened from the Harvard rooters. Here was a chance for a touchdown, but the Psnnsylvanians foug stubbornly' repulsed Held and Boal at center, and took the ball on downs on the 17-yard line. Harvard also could not be worked for a gain, getting into Pennsylvania's "guards back' formation with renewed vigor. Han punted just over the line to who fumbled, but fell on the ball on the Pennsylvania 35-yard line. Penn receiving the ball a moment later, when Folwell fell on it.

Dibblee having fumbled Daly's high pass. From his own 40-yard line McMahon made four yards at left tackle. In the xt play he was given the ball again In a play directed through the same-hole, and he was shoved clear through and started down the Held with no one except Daly to sloi him. Daly, however, waited for his man, who swerved suddenly to the right and almost passed him. But by a dextrous movement ihe Harvard quarterback caught McMahon's leg with one hand, throwing him off his balance and spoiling Pennsylvania's last hope.

In this play affray was done for, and Burnett took his place. i the second down Outland made another five-yard gain through Haughton, and It looked as if Pennsylvania had settled down at last to such a game as was put up against Chicago a Week ago, when the quakers showed the finest form of the season. Penn'S rolicy now was to hammer incessantly at Harvard's right, but In 'he next three plays that side of tic line was si. finely backed up by Reid and Warren that not an Inch of Harvard ground as yielde I. Another quarterback kick.

however. spoiled Harvard's hopes, for Harrison got the ball, and with interference by Hedges made the Harvard 20-yard line. Th" next few plays, though, were disastrous for Pennsylvania. Wlvn Carnett was tried against Hauehton ho was pushed bi.ck for several yards' loss. Gardiner punted again, but fumbled, so anxious was he to get the bail away from Farley, and then it was third down with 13 yards to ga i Hare punted, but again the play missed fire, Burden or Hallowell beating the ball down and sending it rolling toward the middle of the field.

But on ihe 48-yard line it was fallen upon by Gardiner, who was held from gaining by Jack Hallowell. Next time Hi re punted to who ran from the 13 to th 32-yard line. Dibblee was marly outside when he caught the ball, but mad" one of his phenomenal runs, dodging and ducking past five Pennsylvania men, and almost evading Folwell, who tackled him from i jiuun ip in me tin uimiici nut it I elected by substantial majorities. The charge has been made within the last few days that the republican state' I committee has not done all it could do-for Krebs In the 9th district. Those wlio, know about such things say there Is ab solutely no reason for such an accuse-' tion and that the committee has done all in its Dower.

The friends of the candidate are not complaining. Perhaps the greatest interest locally is felt in the congressional contest In the iuh district. Congressman Fitzgerald's friends an confident that he will be returned. His opponents feel sure that he will be beaten. That is all there is to it.

The fame thing is true of die S. V. R. Crosby Credits Brilliant Harvard Punter with Being Greatly Responsible for the Victory. 8.

V. H. Crosby, a veteran Harvard player, said after the game: "it was a good game, but we have got to do a lot of work before the Yale Kame. The defense was strong generally and the offense was good at times, but if we are going to score against Yale it must be a lot better than it was yesterday. The spirit of qur men was splendid, ar.d the longer they played the harder they played.

"Haughton's kicking was magnificent. It was the best I have ever seen in a game, it was high and long, at the snme time so that the ends had time to get down unner the ball, it Is my opinion that lo Haughton belongs a lot of the credit of the victory. I think Daly deserves much credit, too, for the way he ran the game. "Pennsylvania certainly came up here very overconfident, and we want to take a lesson from their troubles and not go down to Now Haven In the same frame of mind. The Yale game will be a very different sort of proposition, and because we have defeated Pennsylvania I uuii1 ooi Pli i ill nine i .,11 wnn-n way it would ultlmatelv go.

tout finally, with Burnett's goal irom a pface kick, it went with a crash in Harvard's favor. "Kven before this the tide of victory seemed to be setting strongly in favor of the crimson, but that kick settle, 1 Penn'a fate for this year. It must oe said that Harvard had more than her usual amount of luck, but nevertheless the game was played with far better Judgment than we nave sometimes displayed. Penn's weakness In a kicking game was soon marked, and after that our advantage In that respect was made the most of throughout the game, and there never was a game in whien the value of kicking was more clearlv demonstrated. Penn's offensive game was somewhat more effective than Harvard's, but that It was not enoiiKh to overcome Harvard's superiority In kicking was of course apparent to every one.

"On the other hand. Harvard's defense was wonderfully good and Improved as the game progressed, (ine of the great objections to a continual use of the "guards back" formation Is that it throws too much work on the tackles, and in yesterday's game Harvard's forwards were getting in hard on Pennsylvania's plays toward the end of the game before they got under wav. "In preventing Pennsylvania from scoring, Harvard has the thorough team work displayed by her eleven thank. Haughton's punting was exceptionally good. The result can be summarized In a strong, persistent defene and superiority in kicking." WOODRUFFS SINGLE COMPLAINT.

Disappointed Only at Failure of Pennsylvania to Handle Kicks-Still Confident in Line Bucking System. If the disappointment of the 1200 Pennsylvania rooters was keen over the outcome of the game, the distress of the members of the team was pitiable. There was not one of them who did not expect a victory over Harvard, and who did not base ills expectation on the seemingly reasonable supposition that the Pennsylvania system of offense would enable them to cross the crimson's line, while their defense would be strong enough to keep Harvard from scoring. The effect of the flrst touchdown within lei seconds after play had been started was to take all the vim and dash out of the team, and to disconcert them enm-pleteiy, with the result that the effective team play which is necessary to Namura is running as an independent candidate sjrahistetMr Quirk, and in the 3d Suffolk senatorial district, in whiob Senator Kourke is running against William J. Donovan.

Only the counting of the votes can give any definite idea of these eontests. John B. Moran continues his attack, on dis'rlct attorney Oliver Stevens, and! Five More for Harvard. Here Burnett turned a trick for Harvard, which long will be remembered by those who saw the game. With the Pennsylvania team lo yards down the field Jack Hallowell held the ball for tin try at goal.

The people breathlessly awaited the outcome ae the ball rose under the hard drlvo of the crimson sturdy center. Th" ball skimmed the crossbar by only a few feet and missed the upright by a few Indies. It is not necessary to describe the scene that followed. Hare kicked off for Pennsylvania. Haughton made a magnificent return from Harvard's 20-yard line to Harrison, who muffed the ball, but regained it before being tackled by Farley on Pennsylvania's 25-yard line.

The quak-er's "guards-back" formation was ripped ami torn in the next two plays, McCracken losing three yards at right tackle and Keld breaking through and securing the ball when it was fumbled by Carnett as Pennsylvania vainly attempted to shove him between Donald and Boal. It was Harvard's ball on the Quaker's 23-yard line. Is al and Beid alternated for four ground -gaining rushes at the right and left of center, but with tho ball on tne 11-yard line Pennsylvania made one more despairing stand and held, but their life was gone. Not for an instant did the crimson line waver against the heavy plays si nt against it, in the midst of which Hare and McMahon struggled for a gain, and then when Hare's punt was blocked by Haughton a touchdown seemed sure. The ball was on Pennsylvania's six-yard line when Held and Boal were driven Into the struggling scrimmage.

Bach man gamed two yards, aided by the determined rushing of the men behind them. Then Held was tried again and five more points were almost within Harvard's grasp, but by an almost superhuman eli'ort Pennsylvania's team threw back the pile as it tottered toward thtlr goal. The referee's whistle blew, not only for the down but for the game. the conduct of the latter's office.

From i the lower hexes protruded the colors of the two colleges. Immediately following the exhibition of the biour ioh pictures, nearly every one of which was cheered by the way. especially that in which Col Roosevelt and his staff, among whom Were Dave Goodrich and another Harvard man, paraded there wore thrown on the screen two immense pictures of the Pennsylvania and Harvard football teams, with the captains In the corners, find each was greeted with the college cry, given with such vim and energy that it almost seemed as if every person In the house was joining in.

Then director Schilzonyi and his Hungarian band played "Up the Street" march, so popular with the Harvard boys, and at the finish two of the little musicians carried each a Harvard and a Pennsylvania flag, while a third inarched in the center with a silk scars and stripes. Then It was that the entire audience joined in a cheer that almost seemed as if It would lift the roof. Mr and Mrs J. C. McCall and family, Mr and Mrs Kingsley, Mr McDuffee, 'ir and others were guests of Mr A.

Paul Keith, occupying two of the orchestra boxes. us the same fatal overcontidenoe that long time had any office outside the Harvard Gains on Offside Play. For the. third time Billy Reid failed to break the line, and again Warren was hurled backward, but this time a Pennsylvanlan was off-side, and it was first down again. Warren followed with a gain through Cochrane and Donald, which carried the ball to the 53-yard line, where Outland made another superb tackle.

A moment later Folwell got Dibblee for a loss of three yards. Hnughton then punted to Gardiner, who, aided by Harrison, managed to evade the Harvard ends for a little ground, and for a first down on Pennsylvania's 40-yard line. Here the Harvard line held against the attacks at Donald and at Hallowell, forcing a low bounding punt from Hare, which rolled outside on Harvard's 33-yard line. Dibblee pushed past Folwell for eight yards, but the little Pennsylvania end nailed him in the next play, and when Hedges broke through on Reid, Hnughton punted to Gardiner, who made bid mUST past the middle of the field, the ball being saved by Carnett. The latter was immediately given the ball In a play through Haughton, but Pennsy'a combination of guards and backs was awkward.

The ball was fumbled, and for a moment there was a general mixup. All at once the ball rolled out from among the excited players, and McCracken booted it toward the Harvard goal. Daly picked It up While on the run and dodged McCracken. who certainly would have been upon him before had not Reid done soni" remarkable blocking off. As it was, Over-Held tackled Daly on Harvard's nine-yard line.

tin second down Haughton punted to Gardiner on Harvard's 40-yard Una The latter fumbled, bu; recoverd ball in lime to make the live yards before downed by Cochrane, From here Pennsylvania lugan the last long series of gains effected In the game. For a while it was a repetition of the playing in that ever-io-be-rc-membered game in Philadelphia two years ago, in vvhh the quakers pulled victory from what seemed to certain defeat by their hard driving plays through the crimson line. Most of the plays were sent just in-side the tackles, McCracken arid Hare going through fur short but certain gains, notwithstanding the desperate work of the Harvard center men who were heroically backed up by Warren and Reid. in the 28-yard line Harvard held for three downs, bui on the fourth play Hare plowed tnrough me center for eight yards, going clean through the line and rolling over aim over until firmly held by three Harvard players. Then followed Beveral plunges into the left side of the line which gained ust enough ground to hold the bail, but on the 12-yard line McCracken was pushed back in two successive plays.

Outland Misses Goal. II was third down with two to gain when the Pennsylvania players grouped about Capl Outland to decide what should be There was a r.liraiur, "They'll trv a goal from the field," heard along the Harvard bleachers. And so they did. Gardiner dropped several yards behind the scrimmage line as did Weeks at Philadelphia year ago, almost at a corresponding stage of the game. But Outland was not Jack Minds, and instead, of sending tlii ball between the uprights as did the quaker fullback al Franklin field.

Outland's try went wild. The ball was brought out to the 25- court house. Mr Stevens when Interviewed on the matter said he had nothing to say except that the allowance for rent had been made by th' board of aldermen in 1869 and that he had taken it supposing that he hnd a perfect right to do so. Mr Moran, not satisfied with that statement, wrote letters to Gov Wolcott and some of the other candidates for office on the republican ticket and asked them whether they approved of Mr Stevens' conduct. To this letter thi following reply was sent by Gov Wolcott.

John B. Moran Ksq, 26 Ptmberton sq. Boston: "Dear Sir Tour letter of Nov 4 was handed to me In Music hall last evening just as the speakers were about to go on the platform, and was not opened By me until this morning. "1 have no desir. to part in any personal controversy, and.

as you must bo aware, I have no personal knowledge of the facts you allege. Nevertheless. If your statement can be proved that for many years an ullowance hus been made by order of the board of aldermen passed in lSti'i for office rent of thc district attorney of Suffolk county, and that for some years while occupying offices supplied real free in the ne court house, and while as a matter fact having no outside office to whl rent should be applied, tho sum so allowed has been received by bin: upon a voucher expressing the same to have been paid for such rent I should consider that his action in so doing deserved censure. Very truly yours, (Signed) "Roger Wolcott. Mr Moran said last night In regard te the governor's letter: "To censure Mr Stevens l-i to condemn him us unfit ir the office, to vote againsr him and to defeat him.

In tm way all honest, honoranle, iaw-lovllj citizens vill join with Gov Wolcott in censuring Mi Stevens." The friends of Mr Si evens made llgni of the charges set forth by Mr Moran. They sav that any one who knows tne district attorney ktvvs that he Is honest and thai the sum he has taken for Office rent has b. -n a regular peruu.fJW of the office. Mr Stevens and his friends are confident of his reelection by verj large majority. In addition to the Indorsement by defeated Princeton last year." BEFORE BULLETIN BOARDS.

Globe's Announcement cf Harvard's Splendid Victory Over Pennsylvania Ree ved With Cheers. Rah, rah, rah. tiger! Such was the greeting The Globe's announcement of the result of the game received in Newspaper row yesterday afternoon. The bulletins had foretold the result from time to time, as the game progressed, but the announcements were received in silence. It was so long since the Newspaper row crowd had had a chance to cheer a victory" for tho crimson that It was fearful to the last, even In the face of the most encouraging prospects, and not until the result was positively announced did it let Itself loose.

Bah. rah. rah. tiger! rang out in unison in front of The Globe bulletins, the first, as usual, to announce the result. The cry caught the attention of the crowds farther down the street and there was a rush The Globe's way, and again the cheer burst forth Bigger crowds have been seen In Newspaper row when football games were being played than was the yesterday afternoon.

In no sense was it Harvard crowd; that Is, it was not made up of Harvard graduates. This in Itself whs not strange, since every man, and woman for that matter, having deep Hnrvard sympathies, who could ge't away, saw thc battle at close range on Soldiers field. The Newspaper row gathering was a Boston crowd, and all Boston has Harvard sympathies when Harvard Is winning. en those who did not cheer for Harvard's victory were glad that the crimson triumphed. FEARED SKULL IS FRACTURED.

George Dulaney of Worcester Injured in Footba'l Game at Baltimore-Taken From Field Unconscious. BABTIMOHF. Nov 5 George Dulaney. about 23 years old, of Worcester, Mass, was seriously injured in a football game here this afternoon. He is a student at the Baltimore medical college, and was playing fullback with the team of that college In a hotly contested game with the Maryland athletic club.

Mayer, left tackle tor the latter team, in a rush struck Dulaney in the head with terrific force. Mayer's kneo also struck Dulaney in the pit of the stomach. Dulaney was knocked senseless and was borne to a hospital in an unconscious condition. It is feared his skull is fractured. 'I fjM JT ftPt r'Vv, The Harvard bo.vs turned up in large end noisy groups at the Park theater to ef "The French Maid." and there wens a lot of V.

of P. men there too. Will C. Armstrong, who plays Lb ut Fife. Is a Phlladelphian and an irresistible football crank, so naturally he was a good deal disappointed at thi- re-suit of the game, especially as he had )et half a week's salary on "Pensy," i.nd got excused from performing at the matinee yesterday to see the game.

He was wearing the Pennsylvania colors last night, and so, when the curtain was called up again at the end of ibe first act, a speech was demanded of him. He explained his sympathies and the. reason for thrn and then told the Harvard men they hail simply played a magnificent game and thoroughly deserved their victory. "I expect to win back what I have lost," he said, "on 'he Harvard-Yale game, for if you play ihe way you did today nothing can beat you, and my money goes on you." Perhaps the Harvard bovs did not appreciate and cheer this tribute from an opponent. The audience Joined in singing several of the choruses, including Uiose of Anna Hold's best-known songs, and by their cheering at various times compelled ihe progress of the play to halt teraporarariiy.

A special novelty was Introduced for tote occasion, at the climax of the last net, just before the fall of the curtain when a trapdoor was opened in the stage and a great quantity of crimson i Issue paper was blown up, by mechanical means into the flies, whence It dropped, like a thick crimson snow storm all over the dramatic tableau as the curtain fell. The sc heme caught the immensely, and was; cheered again and again though It was impossible to repeat it owing to its nature. Several members of "The Girls from Paris" company, who played In Haverhill, last night, came down witnessed the game in the afternoon. A general exodus of the actors Is said to have been Impending, when it was discovered by the management and frustrated, tor fear there would be no performance In the evening. vern fit ile' nuiIOIiv on.
