WatmaughTo - Play For Collegian Dance The annual, Collegian dunce, which opens the social season this year at 11cc hall. on October 8, will feature :the music of Booth Watmough and his orchestra and a beauty show in which the much-discussed "Miss '4l" will be revealed to the gaze of all. Booth Watmough, just about the "tops" as far as campus bands go, is a favorite of long standing among students here. His sensational rise in popularity last year has placed him on the top of the heap in 'the 'student mind. While Booth and the bays appeal to the ear, "Miss '4l" will appeal to the eye. Who she is and who chooses her is a mystery not to be revealed until October 8. It is sufficient to say that she will come front the ranks of this year's freshman , girls, and will be chosen for:her beauty alone. Admission,to the dance ;May be ob tained only with'the free ticket which is given away with every .subscrip ties to the Collegian and in no other manner.

Although this seemed to be the major cause for the Lion de feat, the defense as a whole was rather weak. But, a number of reasons could be offered for the poor defensive work, such as— the hot weather; playing a major op ponent in the first game of the sea son; or the weakened condition of the team due to injuries. in an attempt to analyze the faults, and not to lay the burden of the de , feat on any particular players, but on the team as a whole, ono should re alize that it was in the departments upon which the coaching staff, realiz ing the team's weaknesses, had put particular stress .in practice sessions that the Lions fell down. 6,000 See Thriller "They don't know where they're gn i ing, but they're going there," ; Thus, with highest hopes for an other successful season rivalling that inn, scenery, and design.

PRICE FIVE CENTS By HERB CAIIAN • But, all in all, the game was a thrill ing one, providing the small crowd of about 6000 with a full afternoon of enjoyable football. The game had its full share of long runs, good kicking, passing, and some good tackling an both sides. Within seven and one-half minutes of the first quarter, the Higginsmen had crashed over for the first touch down. Metro's opening kick-oIT to Bose on Cornell's five-yard line was returned to the Red 19. Then, after an exchange of punts, Harrison went around left end for five yards and Lloyd Ickes plunked a pass into the waiting ,arms of 30e Adessa, who went to Cornell's 15-yard itripc—a gain of 31 yards. leyes Scores il • 414K . 9 . 11•111 . 0 . 6111,1,YMI .

Bob Rose foiled to convert fcr the home team, so things were all even. But not for long. Starting the sec ond quarter with the ball on their own 15-yard line, Cornell didn't re-. Roguish the pigskin until—after a variety of end-grounds, reverses, line crashes, and four passes completed out of five attempted—they pushed the ball over for their second six-poin ter. This time Rose's try for point i was good. Holland Smears State Reverse Harrison took the next kick-off on i his five-yard marker and raced 20 lyards up to the 25.

Taking the ball on their own 4p yard line, where Harrison's poor 25- yard punt had gone out of bounds, the Ithacans needed only nine plays to score their third touchdown, when Baker skirted his own right end to tally standing up.
