McCarter, athletic director. The game would be played for the benefit of. the infantile paralysis fund. Cornell tumbled from football's perfect record class yesterday by voluntarily accepting a 3-0 defeat by Dartmouth after admission yf an officiating error by Referee Red Friesell that had given the Big Red a victory at Hanover, N. H.

Friesell erred on the final play of the game when he allowed Cornell a fifth down and Cornell completed a pass in the end zone just as the final gun sounded for an apparent 7-3 win. However, Frio- sell, in a report to Asa Bushncli, executive director of the Eastern Intercollegiate Football association said: "Numerous charts kept by the press and motion pictures taliun by both colleges, have convinced me beyond a shadow of doubt that 1 was "in error in allowing Cornell possession of the ball for the play on which thcv scored. "I awarded it to them for what actually was an illegal fifth down play--a play which produced the winning score. This mistake was entirely mine as the game's referee and not shared in or contributed to by any of the other three 1 upon learning of FrieseU's admission, Cornell's athletic director and coach telegraphed acceptance of defeat and congratulations pf victory to thr Dartmouth campus.

Nov.

Several members of the Big Green team mingled with students in the parade and rally. Capt. Lou Young said he was "tickled to death with the result" and hailed the win as a "squad triumph." Young read a telegram from Referee Red Friesell which said: "I want to be the first to admit my very grave error on the extra down as proven by the motion pictures of, both colleges.

19--(UP)-- NcLemore Says--- Henry May Turn Photographer After Hearing What May Happen to Cameraman Up At Dartmouth. By HENRY McLEMOKE Oklabwna City, Nov. 19-- (UP)--This is a lone, way from Hanover New Hampshire, but even out here folks are beginning to wonder what Dartmouth plans in honor of the cameraman whose pictures rave the Big Green football team a belated, but nonetheless tremendous, 3 to 0 victory over supposedly invincible Cornell Saturday. It has been suggested that Dartmouth athletic officials retire the jersey number of the cameraman whose shots revealed that Cornell had five downs in scoring its touchdown, but as Grange's 77 was put away in a case and lust as Tommy Harmon's 98 will be placed in mothballs, lace and old lavender by Michigan at the end of this season. This would be entirely fit- tine if only cameramen wore jerseys and numbers.

But as they don't, I would like to stwrest to Coach Red Blaik and Athletic Dircetor Jim Lynch that they retire the complete outfit the cameraman was wearing last Saturday. Put his topcoat in one case, his pants, vest and coat -In another, his shirt, tie and collar In another, and his studs, shoes, socks, and derby in another. After this was done, they could buy the cameraman a new outfit and formally announce that no cameraman wearing an outfit similar to the one' retired would be allowed In the Dart- mouth stands. more you. think of'-what art unset Dartmouth's and of what an iihportaht part the pictures played in bringing about The Buffalo Sporting Club, brought a S50.000 suit against the reversal of the first Great Lakes Athletic club, more you feel that today on the grounds'that the lat- a and Cornell men.

I have been one of who have followed and cheered Cornell throughout the itaion, but following the third game of the season for all teams in the east, I realized that Pennsylvania might easily he the club on Cornell's circuit which might upset the Ithaca applecart.

Nov. 19--(UP) --Senior Ends Jim Aubrey and Thatcher Longstreth have been re-instated as members of the Princeton lootball squad, Coach Tad Wicman said today.

Wicman. who suspended both players of "insubordination to the best interests of the team'" reported that both players had taken part in yesterday's practice sessions and would be available for Princeton's final game of the season Saturday with army. Wieman said that both Aubrey and Longstreth, following their suspension had "conducted themselves like good soldiers and exhibited commendable ter conspired "to mislead, cheat anddefraud the plaintiff." Named in the complaint were John J. Herman, Buffalo sports promoter, Paul. Bowser of Bostn and Joseph J.

Ganson of Montreal. The suit also listed the city of Buffalo, municipal stadium and auditorium, and the state athletic commission as defendants. The complaint asserted that for several years the group headed by Herman promoted and conducted wrestling matches for the sporting club under a state license issued to the latter- organization. This year, it was the defendants fraudulently conspired to delay applications for license, and a lease for the city's new S2.700.000 auditorium so that they might procure the same for the Great Lakes club. critics in ajiv admission of error on the part vf if n.rm-11 hoaJ awl shoulders above Pcnn.

19-- (UP)-Claiming violation of rules, the Buffalo Hockey club today officially protested Sunday night's game with the Philadelphia -Ramblers which the Bisons lost 4-3 after some of the most riotous scenes here in several years. In a message to Maurice Podo- loff, American league president, General Manager Louis J. Giffels of Buffalo cited Section 2 under match penalties which allows a substituc for a penalized player providing his fouled opponent is not injured. In Sunday's game, the Bisons were forced to play ont man short for the last 19 minutes when center Morey Rimstad struck a Philadelphia player wiih his stick.

And maybe a fringe of tatting. I can't hedp but speculate as to the chances in football this incident of last Saturday is likely to bring- about. In the first football teams may be expected to start scoutinr for promising young photographers as well as for tackle, ruard and fullback material. Offers of tuition, board and a soft job will be made to high school boys who show extraordinary taelnt in the dark room or hare a way with lenses or a natural, easy motion with a tripod. If photography does take its place in football, there will be one distressing angle.

Double features, already the bane of many a movie-goer's life, will become triple features. Along with "Purple Passion" and "Souls Adrift." there will "be shown a football game, at which the actual and official score will be announced. All bets on games will be made "payable in the lobby" after last reel is shown and it has been proved who really won. The cameras are going to make it very tough on the football officials. If they pull bonen, they'll be right there on the reel because, unlike Hollywood stars, they wont be able (9 gee retakes.

Ray Wasielewski, a lanky guard, Art Wojinsk'i, an elongated center, and Jake Tworek, a diminitive forward are the lettermen while Lajewki, Hathaway, Martin and Szopinski are the varsity reserves back for another campaign.

Light practices have been held with ball handling, shooting, brief scrimmages, being the main preliminary workouts. Last year, the.Industrialists finished third in the Chautauqua county class league with'four victories against four defeats.
