WILEY IN CITY CABINET?
Said To Be Slated for Health
Commissioner.

Or. Harvey w. Wiley is to be ap-
pointed Commissioner Of Health when
John Puroy Mitchell takes office as
Mayor, according to report that got
into circulation yesterday. This report
is said to have stronger foundation
than the fact that before Mayor elect
Mitchell sailed he and the former head
of the Bureau Of Chemistry in the De-
partment of Agriculture had a brief
conference.
His appointment would undoubtedly
prove popular because of his work in
the pure food cause. DR. Wiley, who
spent Yesterday on his farm in Nir-
ginia, was not available for comment
on the rumor.
The pure food crusader is sixty mine
years old. When he retired from his
post in Washington he joined the staff
of a magazine. He was offered the

other than "A victory over Pennsylvania

equally brilliant end-as he alternated
in these positions-sco three touch

brought to rout the Quakers. who have
come TO look on this yearly struggle OF
the gridiron as something all their own
The first touchdown came in the
opening period, after a steady march
down the field of forty-five yards; the
second followed before it was over
when a poorly executed drop KICK by
Barrett was turned into seven points
The third came in the fourth period
when Fritz. after feint at one SIDE,
dashed around the other end OF Penn

fourteen yards, and was never even
threatened by q tackle until he mad
safely crossed the goal line.
II is no wonder then that CornelI
men are happy tonight, not only IN
this city, but wherever Cornell men
may be. The tide of defeats broken
only by one victory and one tie game

also had a strong enough defence TO
make their use futile.
Needless TO say, the victory coming
as il did after years and years OF dis
appointment and gloom, drove the Cor

brethren into "A state bordering on
frenzy. They could not sit in the
stands until the game was finished.
They had been sitting there quietly too
long a time (for twelve years is a long
