By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. 29. Overwhelmed,
broken and shattered, but fighting des
perately to the last, Harvard went
down before Pennsylvania this after
noon. In the presence of 30,000 people,
by the score of 18 to 4. The .precious
4 was wrenched out of the jaws of de
feat by desperate playing and a reck
less disregard of life or limb by the
wearers of the crimson. Harvard was
defeated, but no disgrace attached to
Its overthrow, as its champions played
a magnificent game from start to finish,
end the loss of live of their best men
from Injuries weakened them when
their help was most needed. The Har
vard men showed the effects of the ter
rible struggle they went through at
Springfield on Saturday last, and in al
most every rush 'ome one of their
bruised and battered players would re
main stretched out helpless on the
turf. Early In the game Harvard suf
fered an Irreparable loss In the injury
nnd retirement of Captain Emmons, and
before the game was over Falrchild,
Charlie Brewer, Hallowell and Frank
Shaw were borne from the field.
Pennsylvania made her first point
three minutes before the call of time
In the first half, when Gelbert threw
Hayes across the line after catching a
punt for a safety touchdown. In the
second half Pennsylvania scored three
touchdowns, from two of which goals
were kicked, making the total score for
the red and blue 18. Waters made
Harvard's one touchdown about the
middle of the second half, but Arthur
Brewer failed at the try of the goal
and Harvard did not succeed in scoring
again.
Saved by an I'mpirc's Plunder.
.But for a palpable oversight on the
part of the umpire, Harvard would pro
bably have been shut out. The ball
had been punted Into Pennsylvania's
territory, and striking on the ground,
one of the Harvard rushers kicked it
against Brooke's body and it bounded
back and a Harvard man fell upon it.
The umpire gave the ball to Harvard,
though It was clearly an off side play,
and then It was that by a s ries of fierce
plunges through Pennsylvania's line
from the 23-yard line the crimson car
ried the ball up and over the goal line
of the red and blue. The fine condi
tion of the Pennsylvania players told
as the Btrug, le progressed, and from
VA middle of the first half until the
of the game, with the one"cSc?TTfIOTfTeht competitors for the big prlzerf. Al
otftvhen Harvard made Its touchdown.
the play was mostly In the crimson ter
ritory. Though Harvard's list of casualties
was so large, It was due only to the
hard game that was being played and the
poor condition of the men, for In marked
contrast to the Springfield game, there
was no slugglrte or brutal playing
Indulged In by either team. Only good,
hard, clean foot ball wus played by
both sides, and throughout the game
the best of feeling was shown by the
players on each side.
Record of Clean Victories.
Pennsylvania tonight Is fairly revel
ling In the delirum of Joy, for through
long years' of defeat and disaster, they
liave struggled on to victory and they
close the season of 1894 with an un
tarnished record of victories. Penn
sylvania claims that they are fairly
entitled to the honor of the champion
ship of the college foot ball world, as
Yale has refused to meet them, and as
they have defeated Harvard, Yale's
greatest antagonist, by a larger score
than the blue made. Pennsylvania now
awaits anxiously the result of the game
with Princeton, which Yale plays on
Saturday, and if the tigers should down
the ' New Haven boys, Pennsylvania
will have a clear title to the champion
ship. L

ENGLAND OUTDONE, SHE SAYS
.Mrs. Grunnis Thinks That There Are
Other Features of Stage Life That Are.
.More Objectionable Than the I.Iv
ing Models in Scant Drapery'.
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 29. Lady Henry
Somerset, who came to this country
from England in August, has gone to
Boston on a visit. Before taking the
train she gave out an Interview in
which the announcement is made that
Miss Frances E. Wlllard and the
Women's Christian Temperance union
will soon begin a crusade against the
living pictures.
Ludy Somerset was the head of the
opposition In London to the rellcenslng
of the Empire Music hall, and she won
her fight, too. The affair of the Empire
was one of the sequences of the cru
sade against living pictures, which
Lady Somerset declared were entirely
evil.
"While I do not believe in meddling In
the uffalis of any but my own country,"
said Lady Somerset, "I feel sure that
the women here will very soon Inau
gurate a reform. The foundations are
now laid for the work. Miss Wlllard
and the Women's Christian union ladles
are very much in earnest in this mat
ter. They feel that the living pictures
as exhibited at present at the theaters
of this city are a terrible menace to
young men and tend to encourage im
morality and evil thinking, and are also
an outrage on women. 1 am told that
the living pictures are worse here than
they are in England, and that is saying
a great deal."
Their Blighting Influence.
"I am certain that the mother of
New York will not tolerate those living
pictures when once the matter Is pre
sented to them In all Its deplorable and
sinful aspects. That such things are
permitted here Is due to the fact that
the women have not been awakened to
the deadly and blighting Influence of
this new departure in our theaters. The
'white-ribbon' women are thoroughly
aroused on the subject, and you will
hear from them very shortly."
"What Is to be the plan of crusade
against the living pictures in New
York?" was asked.
"I have no idea at present." Lady
Somerset replied, "but undoubtedly evidence-
will be collected as to the exhi
bitions now being given."
"Do you consider living pictures more
demoralized than the ballet?"
"Not more so than indecent ballet,
but nothing has, so far as I know, been
given that approaches the daring in
decency of the nude pictures."
Lady Somerset said thnr sh
stood the crusade to be distinctively a
movement by the Women's Christian
Temperance union. Some of the
women belonging to the local branch of
that organization who were seen last
night aJd they had not been consulted
about the crusade. Mrs. Grannls, who
Is chairman of the committee on social
purity of the Women's Christian Tem
perance union in this county and also
the president of the Christian league
for the promotion of social purity, said
she had not heard of It.
"Miss Wlllard wrote to me some time
ago," she suld, "asking if something
could not be don to suppress those
pictures in this oity. I replied that
some of them without a doubt were bad
enough and deserved to be suppressed,
but that there are other things on the
stage and off that are very much worse.
"There are dressed women on exhibi
tion whose motions and suggestive wavs
are very much worse than those who
pose, conunuea Airs, (.ramus. "Every
body who shouts 'Shame! doesn't know
what she is talking about."

EMMA STU1JLES IS DROWNED
Northern Pacific Rullruud Warehouses
Suddenly Sink Into tho Wuter-Sev
crul Bouts of tho Mosquito
Fleet Are Missing,
By the United Press.
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 29. Shortly af
ter 11 o'clock last night forty-live feet
of the south end of the Puget Sound
warehouse of the Northern Pacific rail
road on the water front, Including the
office of the road, the cattle sheds and
the pump house for hydraulic work of
filling in tide lands, sank into the bay.
John Hansen, a watchman, was in the
pump house and has not been seen since.
He is believed to have been drowned.
Close by was the boat house of H. H.
Alger, built partly on made land and
partly on piles. This turned over com
pletely. A family of six persons were
asleep In the boat house ftt the time.
All were rescued except a 15-year-old
girl named Emma, who Is missing.
At an early hour this morning the
land seemed to be still slowly slipping
into the bay. Whether it was, caused
by some convulsion of nature or merely
the slipping of the made land Into the
bay remains to be seen. What appeared
to be a tidal wave was observed by
Sergeant Harris at Oldtown, more than
a mile away. Several ships parted
their cables, but were secured before
sustaining any damage.
The length of the strip which caved
In, Is about 1,400 feet and the damage
done extends back in places 100 feet.
The ground Is all made, that Is, tilled In
and composed of loose rock, earth and
debris of all kinds. This has never had
anything to brace It or hold it in place,
und the recent heavy rains have under
mined It, causing It to slide forward In
the by, and carrying everything In Its
course.
Mosquito Elect's Anchoring Ground.
Th whole water front at this point
was anchoring groundi for what Is
called "the mosquito fleet," made up of
small craft. Many of these vessels have
disappeared and thus fur no trace of
them has been found. Many of the
boats served as 'sleeping apartments
for their owners, und for this reason It
is thought several lives have been lost
besides those of Hanson, the watchmun,
and Emma Stubles, 13 years old, the
stopdauchter of H. B. Alger.
