Preparations for the Penn varsity football game were interrupted by a bomb scare at Soldiers Field at 10 a.m. Saturday.
On receiving a telephone call from an unidentified person that a bomb had been planted in Soldiers Field Stadium, the Boston Fire and Police Departments rushed three fire engines and numerous police cars to the scene. However, a thorough search of the stadium failed to reveal any explosives.
The University Police, joining forces with the Boston authorities, discovered two cars abandoned in the vicinity of the stadium. A check of the license plates led the police to two students' rooms and the arrest of nine undergraduates.
After being given a stern lecture in Boston District Court, the nine students were released.
