Perilous perches in the tops of evergreen trees along the rail road spur, in a clam shell hoisted to the top of the locomotive temporary crane on the track and on a platform constructed by highway depart ment employees at the south side of the stadium gave a number of people a view of the game. A special program with information and pictures was sold out a full half hour be fore game time. A colored cover depicted the field and the material in the book was interesting to student alumnus and visitor, so much so that an edition of 7,500 copies was insufficient to satisfy the demand.
