When Harvard quickly followed with a touchdown in 11 rushes from--the 10-yard line, helped by two 5-yard penalties for Torrey's aggressiveness, and Burr kicked the goal which tied the score, few doubted that the Harvard team had begun to play its game and would keep Pennsylvania on the defense for the rest of the time. During the first half this was true as far as the latter team's ability to gain was concerned...
Both teams were forcesd to punt frequently and although Burr's kicks were about equal to Sheble's in length, the Pennsylvania ends were faster in getting down the field and thus gave their team the advantage on nearly every exchange.

Kersburg and Burr, guards, are both somewhat weak in defensive work, but are improving and Burr's punting is of great assistance to the team. White has been doing fair work at centre, where Parker will probably be tried today. Of the ends, Hall is fast, but too light. Macdonald has been doing...
