...strongly in the game with Pennsylvania on Saturday which was won by the score of 52 to 0. From the start the visitors were outclassed and at no time was Harvard's goal in danger. The U. of P. freshmen were able to make but one gain on a "fake" around right end, and held Harvard but once on downs. They have been greatly handicapped throughout the season by the light weight of their whole eleven and by the fact that a sufficient number of candidates did not turn out to form a scrub...
...time to distinguish himself, though his kicking far outdistanced Willing's. Ellis, at right halfback, followed his interference closely and showed himself clearly the best back on the eleven. Ellis and Kendall are responsible for all the long runs with the exception of one of Reid's on a "fake" kick...
...ninety-eight's territory, Adams sent it back by some excellent kicking. After about five minutes play '99 kicked and got the ball on a fumble, and then W. Adams made a long run through left tackle. Davis at this point lost ten yards on an attempt at a fake play and injured his knee, Simpson taking his place...
...ball and kicked forty yards. '99 then kicked fifteen and '98 lost the ball on downs. W. Adams took the ball on a fake kick, like the play used by Newtowne against Harvard on Wednesday, and ran nearly the whole length of the field and scored the second touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. Towards the end of the half '98 came very near scoring by a run around right end, which was stopped by a brilliant tackle by Simpson. The game ended with the ball on ninety-nine's three-yard line...
...line men to block off, when Parker was forced to run 55 yards alone. He broke through the line clearly and eluded the full-back, but was caught and tackled beautifully by Gerrish Newell. Aside from this run and Dibblee's run of 30 yards on the same fake kick through left tackle that worked so successfully in the Brown game, the backs made but few substantial gains. Warren played a fair rushing game, but his kicking was mediocre, nearly all of his punts going too high and thus falling short...
