By SPICK HALL
Four thousand students of the University
of Pennsylvania, confident In tho belief that
their gridiron heroes would leave Ferry

marched from West Philadelphia to tho
Rending Terminal at noon today to give
the football gludl.tturs a regal send-off, It

Boh Folwell' team to the little college town
In Michigan, the Red and Blue will return
triumphant over the Yoalmen.
While there were only 200 Venn students
that accompanied tho team on tho Penn
sylvania special, those who remained at
home did their part to make the team feel
that they are backed by tho entire student
body. Seldom han a Venn team gotten
kucIi a send-off. An hour before the train
was scheduled to pull out, alumni and
friends of tho university crowded Into tho
terminal. The throng wns bo great when
tho ntudents utid the team arrived that n
phalanx of husky etudentn had to make n
lane through tho human sea to allow the
members of the team utid those who were
going to Michigan to get to the gates.
Ah Captain Mathews, Berry, Miller,
Bryunt and other stars of tho team were
spotted, the cheor lenders, who were
perched on top of the Iron grating at the
gates, led tho rooters In giving nlno pro
longed "ralia" for the Individuals on the
team. Between theso demonstrations of
loyalty by tho students, the big band that
had headed the procession Into tho city
crashed out tlio well-known college, airs
with an occasional popular number Inter
polated. Befora tho crowd dispersed, tho train'
bearing the Penn warriors steamed out of1
the terminal, due to arrive In Detroit- to-'

team will go to the Country Club and In

Tho run Is Just an hour. The majority of
the students will go to Ann Arbor on a fleet
of special Vpsllantl trolley cars. After tho
game both students and team will go back
to Detroit and get the train for home at
9 o'clock, arriving here Sunday.
Coach Bob Folwell, along with tho mem

REDFIELD DENIES FOOD
DICTATORSHIP FOR U.S.
Shortage "Too Big a Problem to
Settle in Condensed Inter
view," Commerce Sec
retary Says
OLD ECONOMIC CONFLICT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Coutlonlng
against Irresponsible talk at this time about
a problem "far too big to be condensed Into
short Interviews," Commerce Secretary Bed
field today declared that no one "Is pre
pared to say what can be done and to what
extent" In the American food shortage ques
tion "until very careful study of the whole
problem has been made," The Idea that
the United States might nave to come to a
food dictatorship, like England and Ger
many, he refused to consider seriously.
The Secretary laid that many of (he
causes for the present high prices of food
products were very simple, but the prob
lem growing out of It, he admitted, Is very
complex.
"For Instance, on the face of It," he
said, "the thing that Is needed Includes
hundreds of millions of bushels of grain
and dozens of millions of animals which
we haven't got"
One of the bases of the food shortage
und contingent high prices, he declared, wus
the fact that all crops In the country last
season were short.
"At the same time the people of the coun
try, more prosperous than ever before, with
bigger wages and bigger profits than ever
before, demand more and better things."
The Secretary Intimated that the high
price situation simmered down In the main
to the old law of supply and demand with
the supplies this time smaller and the de
mand greater. He said the problem was
a world-wide one. and that It was idle to
conjecture what the Government could do
until the whole situation has been carefully
studied.
As for a food dictatorship or a special
department under which the food situation
could ba handled, the Secretary saWJthb
would have to eiae aboat through.-legUla
