Occurring everywhere, in places
both obvious and odd, cryptic "On
The Ball" signs have puzzled

Simultaneously an epidemic of
tennis, soccer, footballs, and
basketballs, has broken out in
store windows, and on counters.
Nine hard-to-get golf balls bear
ing the carefully lettered, mys
terious slogan line Student Union
desk to tempt "Linksters."
Various theories have been pro
pounded on the ball plaque. One
idea calls the unxplained spher
oids the work of French midgets,
since the usual slogan has turned
into "On Ze Boule" in many cases.
Another hypothesis considers
the phrase just a warning that
Pen Sntate had better be riding
the well known object in Philly
this weekend. However, unless a
seer turns up with a McCoy crys
tal ball, speculation and conjec
ture on the "balled-up" situation
will reign.
