Harirard the Victor
Blue and White Lose Hardfought Struggle in Rain, Fog and Mud at Stadium Field.
Miller Stars Brickley, Mahan and Hardwick Feature for Harvard.
Defeated but not disgraced, in
fact, honored in defeat, tells the
true story of Penn State's loss to
Harvard on Saturday at Cambridge.
Those who saw the game are
unanimous in declaring that 29-0
gives no idea of the intensity of the
struggle nor of the game played by
representatives of the Blue and
White. The word comes home
that the game was one of the hard
est fought games of the season and
at the same time one of the clean-
est of games.
The fact that the Blue and White
suffered but one five yard penalty
shows the class of play from a lo
cal standpoint while the Penn State
men are unanimous in saying they
haVe never met on the grid
iron a cleaner bunch of players
than Harvard's representatives.
Probably no game has ever been
played at the Stadium or on a Har
vard field under quite such adverse
conditions as those of Saturday.
With mud ankle deep, rain falling in
torrents most of the time,and clouds
and fog hanging so low over the
field that the spectators could not
distinguish the players or follow
the ball, a truly phantom game re
sulted, according to a Boston re
ported. Even the players were un
able to distinguish their own men,
and somewhat ludicrous although
disastrous es ents took place in two
or three instances when a man
tackled or took out from the inter
ference one of his own teammates.
It was necessary to take nut time in
one ur two instdit:es to vie to the
mud from the (aces and out of the
eyes of the men.
The unfavorable conditions were
without a doubt a greater handicap
to the Blue and White than to Har
vard. Boston writers and Harvard
critics admit this. The Penn State

Sole agent for the celebrated
open play was almost impossible
while the dodging of Miller and
open tield running of Berryman and
Tobin was reduced to a minimum
in efficiency. Harvard's powerful
heavy backs, helped by a line of
forwards that greatly outweighed
the Blue and White, were able to
gain on straight football.
Miller was the brightest luminary
among those who distinguished
themselves. Although handicapped
by the slippery heavy going, the
midget played one of his most
brilliant games. He was in every
play, tackled fiercely, carried the
ball the majority of times, and ran
back punts in his inimitable style.
When Clark's kicking proved of no
avail, Shorty shouldered this ad
ditional duty and acquitted himself
with honors even; pitted against one
of the best kickers in the country.
Boston sporting writers and the
Harvard players write m unstinted
praise of our great captain. His
work is compard in brilliancy to
that of Thorpe, the Indian All-
American back, while Brickley, the
star Harvard fullback, says that
"Shorty" Miller, the stocky Penn
State quarterback, who played a
whirlwind game, was the most con
spicuous man on the field and one
of the hardest men to tackle that
he had ever played against. A
prominent Princeton alumnus who
witnessed the game is credited
with having remarked to "Tad"
Jones, former Yale star, that Miller
was one of the greatest quarter
backs that he had ever known in
the game, while Jones reiterated the
remark.
Next to Miller shone Harvard's
wonderful trio of backs, Mahan,
Hardwick, and Brickley . who with
out a doubt form the most powerful
backfield in the country. All are

big men who possess speed, cour
age, and football sense. Mahan
starred with his long end runs,
Brickley with his kicking and to
gether with Hardwick with hard
line smashes. Hitchcock and Gil
man were other stars for Harvard
while Lamb, Clark, Bebout, and
Weston, played strong games for
the Blue and White.
A noticeable feature of the game
was the excellent physical condi
tion of our men especially. Pitted
against a heavier team they showed
wonderful power after a fresh team
had been sent in against them.
The men came through in good
condition excepting Yerger, who
sustained a sprained ankle, and
Wood who suffered a broken jaw.
The first quarter resulted in no
score. Penn State kicked off to
Harvard. On an exchange of
punts Clark lost ground when he
kicked out of bounds on Penn
State's 45-yard line. Miller soon
after made a brilliant return of a
punt, followed by a punt which
placed the ball on Harvard's 40-
yard line. The Harvard backfield
then showed its gaining power and
on short but consistent gains
carried the ball to Penn State's 25-
yard line, where they were forced
to kick. Brickley tried a drop kick
from the 30-yard line, but it went
wild. Miller then got a punt from
his own 20-yard line past Logan to
the latter's 17-yard line. Brickley
kicked out of bounds on his 40-
yard mark. Penn State lost the
ball soon after on a forward pass
out of bounds with no gain having
been made. An exchange of punts
and a 10-yard gain by Miller gave
Harvard the ball on her 43-yard
line from where Mahan made a 28-
yard gain. Short gains finally
placed the ball on the Blue and
White 6-yard line. Here Penn
State put up a stonewalldefense and
took the ball on downs as the
quarter ended.
At the start of the second quarter
a short punt out of bounds gave
Harvard the ball on Penn State's
23-yard line. A 12-yard gain fol
lowed by a 15-yard penalty placed
it on the 25-yard line from where
Brickley kicked a goal from field.
Following the kickoff and a loss on
an exchange of punts. Mahan got
away for another long run behind
good interference, covering 45
yards and placing the ball on the
visitor's 5-yard line. It took four
trials before Brickley was shoved
over for the touchdown. Folldw
ing the kickoff, Miller signalled for
a fair catch of a punt on his 25-
yard line, but miscalculated the
flight of the ball, which was picked
up bp O'Brien and carried for the
second touchdown of the quarter.
Storer again kicked the goal.
The next touchdown followed a
36-yard run by Brickley, after
Mahan recovered the ball on
Lamb's attempted placement goal.
In the third quarter Mahan scored
on a beautiful 38-yard end run.
Soon after with Miller doing most
of the gaining State carried the ball
to Harvard's 4-yard line. On fourth
down the forward pass grounded
and Harvard got the ball on downs.
Penn State had the advantage in
the last quarter, Miller starring with

LaCrosse Comment
LaCrosse practice is still being
held each day in the rear of Mc-
Allister Hall. Beginning Monday
eleven Sophomores and eleven
Freshman will be excused from
drill. The most promising new men
are three freshmen who have played
on the strong George School team.
The sport will receive recognition
this year as a minor sport and will
have the support of the Athletic
Association in arranging a schedule.
The team will not be picked until
next spring and for this reason new
men reporting will have plenty of
opportunity to make good. The
underclassmen particularly should
turn out because a class scrap game
may be arranged and the contest
ants given numerals.
