The ! tfew Jersey team was bewildered by < he novelty, but the advantage of < he system was realized and Pnnce- i on adopted it, followed by Yale and < larvard. In telling of the birth of \ he signal system Maxwell says: | "Signals seem to be an absolutelyj ] issential part of football, and yet it j \ raa not until 1888 that they were 1 nvented. From the November day' i n $69, when Rutgers and Prince-' ] on played the first game of football,! < mtu 1888 tye colleges got along by j 1 isiijg systems which varied with ev- j < try eleven, letters being frequently, f eed. It was left to Pennsylvania 1 tfiliiary college to originate thej \ >resent system of numbers. j ? "It was on a chill November aft-1 ( trnoon in 1888 that Pennsylvania kHIitary college flashed the number I ystem on the football world and, ncidentally, used the signals as the neans of4"> coup whereby Princeton ras whipped at Chester by 6 to 0. rhe numbers not only mystified Princeton, but they so speeded up ?enn Military's play that it was able o ontrush the Tigers at every stage >f the game, which was witnessed by none than 1,000 persons, a great ootiball gathering for those days, from that day the use of nnmbers or signals spread rapidly. 'Tn defeating Princeton Pennsylpania Military did not use trick days, spring some new formations it work the 'shoestring' stunt for he first time. The players outgeniraled their opponents, and the outgeneraling was done by using a sysem of numbers for signals.

An expert opener can shell a jreat many cocoanuts in a day. But the cocoanut opener is not the only person employed at the cojoanut end of the factory.
