SIGNAL PROOF

to be popular and efficient, The throngs
began arriving shortly after noon.
! The irreIressible faker with his flowers
| and pennaItts and the ticket scalper be-
| set the CROWD. at every turn. Tsaffic ar
| rangements were in charge Of Lieutenant
! Buhler, of tive traffic squad. He had an
army of poliCpemen on hand from nearly
every district in the city.
Cornelrs sdtad was the first to arrive
on the field, making its appearance
at 1:4O. The weather was ideal from n
spectators standpoint, but trifie warm
for players. A southeast breeze swept
across the field but IT didn't have the
| tang to take the warmth from the rays
of the sun which beamed down through
high mist
The Ithacans trotted out band and
IL gave an impro nptu parade around
the field, cheered enthusiastically. Coach
Al Sharpe watched his proteges go
through signals. hurt forward passes and
kick long spirals.
Collyer was loudly cheered by the en-
tire assemblage as he was carried from
the field with a badly wrenched knee in
the middle OF the third period. Cornell
needed him. as events were to prove, as
Penn's great renewal pf strength came
Just after he left the game.
WHEN PENN MEN WENT MAD
.Pandemonium broke loose in the Penn
section when Avery's forward pass was
caught by Murdoch and carried across the
llne'for a touchdown and an army of ap-
parent Lunatics danced and gyrated when
the Red and Blue scored a second touch
down.
Then, when Barrett ran 90 yards for
CornelIs third score, gloom settled for
time on the Penn cohorts till the cheer
leaders called for fresh outbursts OF yells
TO spur the team on TO another effort.
Displaying more evidence OF the
thoroughness Of their training 800 Boy
Scouts acted as ushers in the stands,
The boys moved with celebrity and were
ever ready TO do the small things that
add TO the comfort OF the audience. The
students, who formerly accepted the
chance of ushering i'm order TO see the
game were oftimes wont to loaf on the
job" But there was no loafing on the
part OF the Boy Scouts.
The boys wene In command OF Samuel
@. Friedman, chairman of the Scout
Masters Committee and ]. Woodbridge
Patton. They represented the first class
scouts Of every troop in the city. They
arrived at the grounds singly and in
groups shortly before noon and took their
places in the stands. Their khaki uni
forms made them conspicuous and spec
to their proper seats. Under the old
system. the students wore badges to in
dicate they were ushers. This badge was
dihicult 70 see and In consequence an
usher was hard TO distinguish from an
ordinary spectator.
The services of the scouts was donated
to the onieials OF the University OF Penn
sylvania, and many who witnessed the
manner in which they work expressed a
desire 70 see the Boy Scouts ushers at
every anair held at Franklin Field,
There was merit IN Penn's defeat The
sting Was removed BY the plucky struggle
Of the Red and Blue players They fought
a team Acknowledged TO be their supe-
riOrs In every department OF the game
unfiinchingly.
The students and alumni of Penn stood
and watched Cornell's graduates, led By
their hand. dance a snake dance on the
turf Upon approaching the goal posts
the Cornell rooters hurled their hats
across the erossbar in a delirium Of de-
light.
