such time rs he could demonstrate Il
to the officials would depend on other
kinds of football.
Rex Wray's gcneralship was un D..
questioned. He handled the team like
the veteran he is, while his brilliant
running back Of punts and skillful
lodging through broken field was
something that will remain in the
memory when Red pnd Blue football
heroes are spoken Of.
To run eighty five yards twice in five
minutes for touchdowns after the kick :
off Is n feat that has never been ex =
celled on Franklin Field Some have
run as many as ninety or ninety five
yards for a touchdown on a kickoff. but
no player, at least in the last two dec
AIDES, can boast of scoring touchdowns
twice in five minutes from within the
shadow OF his own goal posts.
Wray's straight arming. sidestepping
and lodging gave the fans thrill every
time he carried the leather. For a man
weighing 80 pounds 1t seems uncanny
for him to dump over men weighing as
much as fifty pounds more. and often
when they were all set for tackle.
He proved as slippery as an eel to the
Delaware team, who seemed unable to
stop him before he had registered SUBJ
stantial gains.
Whitehill Scintillafes
The entire backfield showed mower
and speed. Mike Whitehill, always
rated as a star, proved the right to be
thus catalogued by breaking through
the line for substantial gains every
time he carried the pigskin. Mikes
booting was also high class. He aver
aged little better than forty yards to
the punt during the afternoon. which
isn't bad for this time of the year. The
game was only few minutes old when

RIG SCORE SURPRISES
PENN GRDIRON COACH
Penn Team VIII Wear
Numbers Next Week

According to- one of the athletic
officials Of the University of Penn
sylvania, the lack Of numbers for
the corps Of substitutes sent into
the game on Saturday was not due
to desire to 20 back to the old no.
number system, but to the non
appearance of all the jerseys ordered.
They will be on hand this week
and will be distributed to the squad
in time for the game this coming
Saturday.
Considerable confusion occurred
when the substitutes went into the
game for the scribes and fans alike
who were armed with a neat
appearing program that did not
mean anything. Delaware played
the entire team without numbers,
although they were notified early in
the week by the acting graduate
manager at Penn. Coach Darby
offered no reason why his team ap-
peared sans the numbers.

with attempted grand larceny in de-

Neither the police nor the private

learn by reading the newspapers. Both
are convinced, however, that he is the

Detective Walsh of the East Fifty

Walsh telephoned to Nye, who said that
the stranger had telephoned promptly

Forfeit Street.
Nye told the detective that the man
had demanded $4,000 for the release

Convict Brindell Spurns Hash,

OSsINING, n. Y, April 7.-Robert P.
Brindell, convicted labor leader, who
is convict No. 72,328 at Sing Sing,
spurned plate OF hash at a midday
meal and accepted plate of ham and
eggs as substitute, it became known
to-day.
In doing so he violated prison rule,
and likely will have to pay the penalty.
The waiter who served the delectable
dish is already suffering in conse-
quence. He was locked to-day in pun
ishment cell and probably will be
shipped to an upstate prison for disci-
pline. Convict No. 72,32S, despite the
fact that he dominated thousands of
wage-earners prior to his arrival at
Sing. Sing, will find there's to be no
special privileges and no domination
at the prison, according to Sing Sing
authorities.
Brindell belongs to the rookie cate
CORY at Sing Sing. He must govern
himself accordingly. Ham and eggs
are served only to patients at the hos

Young Woman and Newark
Jeweler Held After Their
Alleged Admission That
They Reported False Theft
Rehearsed Robbery Scene
Firm Insured Against Bur-
slary; Complained Once
Before of a $4,000 Loss

Alter being grilled by the police for
four hours, Miss Gussie Lerner
eighteen years old, of 314 Fifteenth
Avenue, Newark, is said to have con-
fessed last night that the sensational
diamond robbery story told by her and
Harry Feyman, of Heyman Bros.
jewelers., 129 Oliver Street, Newark. in
which they said hold-up men had
robbed them of diamonds worth 500
600 on Wednesday night, was false and
the result of conspiracy. Heyman is
a!leged to have corroborated her con-
fession
Miss Lerner, in tears, told detectives
who questioned her at Police Head T.
quarters that every phase of the rob-
berry had been rehearsed by Heyman
and herself more than twenty times.
She had worn an old dressing gown to
roll on the floor in acting on Heyman's
suggestion, and when the time came to
act out the robbery in earnest they
were letter perfect in their parts, she
is said to have declared.
Their Story of Robbery
According to the tale told by Hey
man and Miss Lerner, when the police
were called to the store Wednesday
night, three masked robbers had en-
tered the front door, placed revolvers
at their heads, and had taken more
than $4,000 of cut and uncut diamonds
from the showcases and safe. The po-
llce doubted the story, because neigh
bors who were sitting on their porches
across the way from Heyman's store,
which is the second floor of the build
ing, and Robert f. Dick, who has an
electrical appliance shop on the main
floor, declared that they had seen no
one enter or leave the building. 1t
was also learned that Heyman Bros.
carried $4,000 burglary insurance
and that a similar robbery in which
S12, 900 worth of diamonds had al
legedly been stolen had been reported
to the police by the firm early in 1920.
Police Captain Frank Brex sent for
Miss Lerner yesterday and found that
she had been summoned by telephone
to Heyman's house. From there she
was taken to Police Headquarters and
questioned. As first she insisted that
the story of the robbery was true. and
it was not until told that evidence of
conspiracy was in possession Of The
authorities that she broke down and
told her story.
Rehearsed Robbery

facing financial ruin and asked me if
